day 2

I am happy to say that I am still on the wagon. I am still decreasing slowly with my animal consumption and really pushing whole foods and raw foods.

I tried having a nurtiblast instead of my morning coffee... it worked:)
it had spinach, strawberries, blueberries, a banana, and some watermelon. Delish!

After a while, I wandered around my kitchen looking for chewable food. I went back to my old standby, 2 eggs (less than I usually eat) and 2 rye toast. It was not as good as i remember it. Its kind of bland and slimy. I just kept picturing the poor bird that had to suffer to get these eggs on the table. It kind of killed it for me.

**I am easing into veganism because we already have animal products and I am not financially able to toss everything out and go vegan overnight- as much as I would like to.

After breakfast, I had about 1/2 cup of coffee, and got hot flashes and fell asleep. Granted, I have 2 kids, naps are amazing.

Lunch time was better. I had the other half of my veggie patty subway sandwich. Yum:) Guilt free except the ranch I mistakenly put on it yesterday. We also had some white rice with turkey flavored gravy (a comfort food.. I need to figure out a vegan alternative).

Snack was my favorite food, fried asparagus:)

For dinner I made the steak I bought before my eyes were opened. I made it just the way I have always liked steak, as it will be my last one for the forseeable future. I split it with my dad, he got 2/3 and I got 1/3. I took a bite, saw the blood, flashbacks of cows hanging upside down with their throats slit... I fed it to the dog. So, I had a concoction on quinea, brown rice, tofu, and black beans.. with a side of broccoli and some more asparagus.


I feel much better. My back hasn't hurt today either, except just a little. Two days ago I had immobilizing back pain. I am still not sure if this is connected or not, but I'm very happy. I also feel thinner... well, less swollen. Fat people when they are on the rise tend to look like they are swollen. I have been maintaining/losing lately, but I feel like I look... less. Its a good thing. I also have more energy. I got a nap. I wish I had found this sooner.

I have always associated the word "vegan" with stuck up people throwing blood on folks and thinking they are better than others. I'm realizing that they are only the extremests. I am not sure I could go back to my previous lifestyle... I feel... changed. And its only been a few days.
