Feeling Good

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
