Today is day 3 of this vegan program. I am trying to keep a daily journal of experiences.
My day today was a little out of routine. Ventured downtown using public transportation, the rail service. I am a people watcher and always try to figure out why people act like they do. It makes time go faster! It was a cold winter day, so walking wasn't fun. I picked up my Winter class schedule and headed back home. I got to my car and drove to work. Day was moving too fast, I was craving some fried chicken.
As I recalled, I had such a great day with this program yesterday. Today, not so. I am doubting myself, I am trying to find a medical excuse to stop it, I want to quit!!! The senseless part is no one is forcing me to do this, it is my choice. Why not quit? I am still trying to figure that out. I feel lightheaded. When I drink water it makes my stomach upset. I am convinced I won't last longer. Oh the voices in my head, no support whatsoever.
Vegan, cold turkey, nah it is not working for me. I ate some cheese puffs. I allowed myself to eat a few, just to satisfy the craving. I figured if I make it to the first week, I can do one more week and the third week should just fit in....right?
Another issue I am concerned by reading so much is, what if I decide this is not for me, try to go back to my meat eating diet and I am unable to digest it. Is this possible? Breath...one day at a time...
Breakfast: coffee with soy milk, dried cereal
Snack: soda crackers
Lunch: since I did not have time to make my lunch, I just packed last night's leftover...rice and bean soup
Snack: banana chips, coffee, a couple pistachio nuts
Dinner: was not that hungry and besides didn't want anything to eat that tasted or resemble grains...sweet potato baked topped with crumbled falafel
Drank water and soy milk throughout the day...
Now is time for bed. I am feeling blue. Tomorrow is Mexican, I need to add some spice to this diet!
Go me,
Maddy
