I feel fearless today. Invincible. I think I truly hopped out of bed with a smile on my face when I woke up. Is this normal? Are all vegans like this?
To be honest, I’m quite scared that all these positive changes that I’m seeing and experiencing are a placebo effect… Is this too good to be true? Can my diet really make me feel this way? I honestly think it does, so this has been an amazing experience so far. I feel like I changed such a small aspect of my life but I’ve been experiencing life changing differences to every aspect of my being. Although I went grocery shopping today and so naturally, I bought a lot of fruits and vegetables. Who knew they would be so expensive? I think I’m going to have to find a better way to keep up with this diet. I’m finding trouble buying all the foods I want and need to sustain myself over a longer period of time. I thought a week would be relatively short — I now realize that is definitely not the case. Food itinerary follows…
Breakfast: Chocolate Hazelnut Butter on toast
Lunch: leftover quinoa burrito bowl from yesterday
Dinner: Veggie lasagna with cashew sauce (instead of cheese)
Although I’m still full from yesterday’s feast, tonight was truly one for the books. Amazing food, amazing recipe, amazing culinary skills developed. The vegan transition has become easier over time. My cravings have subsided but have not completely disappeared.
So far so good…
