As Day 2 begins, I reflect on the first day of my vegan diet. All went well and I did not find myself craving animal products or feeling tired. I was able to avoid hunger and even ran for a while as part of my half marathon training. As mentioned previously, prom and the half marathon are on the same day which is just very unfortunate. There will be other half marathons and I will continue my training and writing about any effects on it because of my diet.
Last night for dinner, I enjoyed a thai sweet potato soup. This soup had a distinct sweet potato taste which, in retrospect, I should have expected and it was pretty filling. I think I will try to routinely incorporate soup into my diet as it is easy to prepare and good for various meals. In the past, I have found soup not to be so filling, but this was different. I thought that the full feeling I felt after eating the soup would be something that I would not easily achieve during this diet, but I have found it easier to come by than imagined. This diet will force me to try new things, something which I may have been hesitant to do in the past. I look forward to sharing my food experiences in the future.
Health is wealth,
