One Week Down!

So far being vegan is great. I've lost some weight, feel great and the biggest thing is I'm completely off my blood pressure medicine!  At day 4 I took 1/2 a pill and then day 5 I went completely off and have been off ever since.
The week was actually pretty easy.  I didn't have one cheat meal.  I exercised 5 times.  I even feel like I have more energy.  I'm trying new foods and actually liking them!
I did my labs and they didn't look terrible...but not great.
My cholesterol is actually down from when I checked it in August but still high.  So that will make it even more interesting to see what this diet does to the numbers.  In the end I will post the actually numbers to see what it does.
My Vitamin B is normal.  And sadly my Vitamin D is a few points low.  Those of you that know me know that I'm a huge vitamin D advocate and take mine daily so I was a little shocked I was on the low side.  But that will change!
People have asked me what supplements I'm taking.  I take a daily Multi-Vitamin, Vitamin C, Garlic,  and Calcium + Vit D.  I usually take Turmeric but the ones I have are not Vegan because they have gelatin in them so I'm looking to see if I can find one without gelatin. If you don't know the health benefits of Turmeric you should check them out here. If I can't find any then I will start using Turmeric in my cooking.
I made some great recipes this week and will place them on our recipe blog hopefully today so check the out.
Bring on week 2!!!
