It is finally the weekend and I'm excited to experiment with many new vegan recipes. Hopefully if any turn out really well I'll post the recipes! Being vegan for three and a half days has already changed how I feel. Earlier this year I was vegan for one and half weeks and it made me so tired and sluggish. I don't exactly know why this time I feel so much more energized, but I was able to run 8.3 miles this morning and felt so good doing it. I'm pretty sure I have more energy because I'm eating a variety of foods. Before when I tried to be vegan, every single day, I ate oatmeal for breakfast, nuts, fruits, and carrots for lunch, and a salad for dinner. Realistically that just doesn't cut it. Most everything I ate had no substance at all, so therefore, I had no energy. This week I think I've eaten something different for almost every single meal. I've eaten a variety of foods and also have incorporated a lot of protein into my diet as well, for example, last night I ate a delicious tofu curry dish. I definitely already feel healthier and I'm going to try and continue eating a wide variety of foods, both for energy purposes and just so I don't get bored.
Hopefully this feeling continues,
Maggie
