| Morning Luna Bear!!! |
Cute picture right? She's not being nasty, this is what I woke up to this morning, a lovely big cat yawn!
Well friday night I made a huge commitment for me...start my vegan week on the Saturday morning! For anybody that knows me, you will already be aware that giving up cheese and eggs is my idea of a living hell! But anyway, I decided to suck it up and do something drastic for once in my life!!
So here I am, day 4. Now I thought this week would be quite an easy week to do this challenge as I was working the Sunday so could keep myself occupied. Boy was I wrong!!! Now the actual not eating meat, dairy or anything that's comes from animals isn't bothering me in my everyday life all that much. I eat vegetables that I love along with whole wheat noodles or rice and i'm all happy smiley. However over the weekend, I somehow managed to become very busy after work and ended up going to a friends on Saturday night and the pictures on Sunday night. So because of this I had to take a bag of pistachios to my friends on Saturday night whilst they all sat there eating popcorn and a bag of cashews to the pictures with me, when everyone else sat there eating frozen yoghurt!! That is my idea of mental torture. Forget all the horror movies you have seen, the biggest way to torture any woman is to eat a tub of Ben & Jerry's right in front of her when she can't have any. Having said that, I didn't moan because it was me who chose to do this silly challenge. On the plus side, I made it to day 4 and I made it through the ice-creamless trip to the cinema!
Other than than it's not been all that bad. I feel brighter and healthier for it already. I think mixing this challenge with my ongoing challenge of drinking no caffeine has really gone hand in hand with making me a bit healthier looking all around! I've been eating so much broccoli, mushrooms, beans and rice. Which to me isn't that bad because broccoli is my favourite vegetable! Throughout the day before I used to get so hungry and have major dips in my energy levels, but so far these last few days I have been absolutely fine. If anything, I am not eating as much as I used too because i'm not making massive portions of food that give me a quick full feeling. By changing to an extremely healthy eating pattern I seem to be fuller for longer which is always a plus when you're working 8 hour days and then coming home to study and talk to you guys! How do I ever have time to eat anyway?!
If anyone is looking to change up their eating habits or just create a healthier diet all around then something like this might be a really good thing to try. I'm not saying go full on vegan like I have, but change your main meals and lunches to a healthier option. Cut out all the processed foods and make everything from scratch. Even if you replace your chocolate with a yoghurt or a handful of nuts, just try it and you'll see how much better you feel for it. It sounds silly but even before I started this challenge I was drinking Alpro soya milk in my tea (decaf) and coffee (decaf) at home. It's so much healthier and full of loads of protein and to be quite honest, it doesn't taste much different. I even gave it to my blue milk top loving Dad and he didn't even notice teehee... Don't tell him though guys, I don't think he'd appreciate it!
