This week I decided to become a vegan. No, I'm not a hippy, or an animal activist or anything like that. I'm obese, I'm depressed and I'm tired of being tired and in pain.
Over the last few months I've heard stories of people who had become vegan and it had changed their life. They are no longer on anti-depressants, and they've cured other illnesses. Basically they feel great and they look great! So, I thought I'd give it a try!
I started on Tuesday. For dinner I made veggie tacos and they were great!!!!! The best tacos I've ever had! Yesterday I had the leftover tacos for lunch and made a great vegan pasta bake for dinner. Again a very yummy dinner! I tried a whole grain granola for breakfast. I have to admit, I didn't love it, but I'm sure I'll find something I like better very soon! I had the leftover pasta for lunch and it was great! I stopped by the new Whole Foods by my work on my way home and bought some great vegan items. Did you know they have vegan beef and vegan cheese? Who knew?!?! I made chili for dinner. We made Frito pie and it was REALLY good!
I'm only on day two and a half but, so far, I love it! I can't wait to share my favorite recipes and my journey to a new me!!!
Impressive! Good for you! I wish you the best, and you should watch Food, Inc. It's a documentary and it will only strengthen your interest in avoiding meat......on the other hand, I am still a raging carnivore...
ReplyDeleteKelly, I saw your post about your blog on facebook and since I love blogs (especially ones of people I knew) I thought I would hop on over and take a look! You have a lovely blog and I hope that you begin to feel better with this new life choice! I've been on the diet train as well and hope that you will be successful!!
