It's funny that when I tell people I'm Vegan how they react. Most people ask me what I am eating since I can't eat "hardly anything." And they almost always say that they could never do it. Well it's only been 2 weeks but there is PLENTY to eat and it hasn't been hard at all. Going out to eat makes it a little challenging to find something Vegan at some restaurants but not impossible.
I took my friend Tom out to eat this week for his birthday. He chose a Mediterranean and I don't think the lady knew what Vegan meant. She showed us all the items on the menu that were "Vegan" and I think most of them were just vegetarian. So I ended up getting a grilled veggie platter with rice, pita and hummus. Not bad but there was butter on the vegetables so I did have a cheat this week.
The exercising is going great, still losing weight, still feeling great, still off my blood pressure medicine.
I have a doctor friend who talked me into doing a 3 day smoothie cleanse starting on Friday. It's all Vegan products but I'm not sure how I'm going to like only having smoothies to consume for 3 days!! But I told her I'm up to challenges these days so I'll try it! I've never done a cleanse and don't really believe them but I do have a lot of friends and patients that do them so it should be a good experience.
Don't forget to check out the recipes page and my friend Meghan's blog. If you haven't checked out her blog you are missing out!!!!!
