Tomorrow will mark my 10th day on this journey. I feel strange, but I really feel proud of me! Even though I am stressed at work, not getting enough sleep, dealing with allergies...I still feel like I have more energy. A major revelation has been the fact my body does not like dairy. After a week with little we ordered a veggie pizza with cheese...not a good idea! Talk about stomach pains. I think I realize that, maybe the last few years at least, I had just gotten used to feeling bad because I was constantly on dairy. So I have another reason why this is worth it. I'm not avoiding all dairy, but really limiting it and being aware of what products it is hidden in.
I also thought I would have terrible cravings. I admit I've had the occasional thought about meat...but mostly in thinking about soup with meat broths (veggie beef, chicken noodle). But other than that, I am pretty fiber-fied so not too much as been a temptation! I'm hoping to try a thai restaurant in my area that has a decent vegetarian menu (and I heard some vegan too) this weekend.
Other than that its been smooth sailing...I think the next hurdle will be traveling next week for work....and then after that is July 4th with family coming over. I will be grilling all sorts of things, including meat for extended family. Just hoping I can add in some nice veggie offerings that people will try and enjoy as well.
Until later...
