Day 6
Anyway going back to signing and SHARING again my animal petitions full time online again, lately I have been doing it only when they pass on my facebook newsfeed. Some are ugly but justice needs to be served.
I have a recipe fb group and I am no longer going to share recipes with meat or dairy in it. I am taking baby steps with all of this and trying to stay on track.
In the Vegan fb group they were talking about how being healthy and being vegan going hand in hand meaning avoid foods with gmos, processed because in order to help another being we need to be healthy to do so. Which makes sense but I want to get to the basics first of NOT eating meat or dairy at least directly and worry about the specifics later but I do realize I can indirectly be eating meat and dairy as well which sucks because it seems everything on the fuckin planet is tarnished with meat, dairy, sugar and gmos whether we want to eat it or not.
Went to Harmons today and purchased organic herb style stuffing for my Thanksgiving, dairy free mac and cheese and vegetarian sloppy joes.
Thanksgiving my all time favorite holiday ever regardless of how it originated. I celebrate it for different reasons so I am preparing for my Thanksgiving this year as a Vegan. I have a celebration roast, now my stuffing....I also love mashed potatoes, veggies and cranberry sauce. I will try to use more natural (healthy) ingredients as well as of course vegan ingredients. Im excited about doing something unique from now on for my favorite holiday.
Eating leftover vegan pizza and bean/tofu tacos today. Its nice to have options. I need to get more veggies and beans though. I dont think I am going to juice again today, not in the mood.
Well I didnt really eat anything else except a banana before bed. I think I did good today.

Day 5
On my way home from work today I bought some wendys fries & then came home and made leftover bean & tofu tacos.
Then a few hours past and I had been craving pizza and thinking about vegan options and went online to my favorite pizza places papa johns and ordered a hand tossed cheeseless veggie pizza and it was delish! :D I ate it with the free garlic sauce and had two slices. I was going to make my own but I didnt feel like going to the store for the ingredients.
Well I learned last night that papa murphys garlic sauce and crust both have dairy in it :( But not going to let that get me down. The website doesnt even really specify neither about their ingredients just wheat flour and water. Fuckers. I hate that. I wish companies could be more honest. I do want to make my own pizza anyway just not my own dough. I aint Martha fuckin Stewart! (even though I look to cook but not that thorough). I will deal with the GMOs personally. My only goal is to go Vegan period.

Day 4
I had to pickup mcdonalds nuggets for my family again and only had two then when I got home I made myself a bowl of apple sauce with cut up banana and grapes. It was good!
I also made my lunch/dinner which is bean & organic tofu tacos with diced tomatoes, onion, chiles, seasonings, tofu and pinto beans and I will have with avocado on a corn tortilla.
Im supposed to juice today too since I made a smoothie yesterday. I made a green grapes, carrots, leftover tomato, spinach with lemon juice and Bragg apple cider vinegar.
Between juicing and becoming a vegan, OMG I seriously have never ate so many fruits and veggies before in my life! I need a new juicer though, this one is good but so many parts and such. Its a good starter juicer. Hamilton Beach $50 at Walmart. Bought it for myself last year as an xmas present. I just make sure I clean all the parts right away after I make my juice so I dont get lazy later and the fruits and veggies dont stick to the juicer parts.
Well since I seem to be balancing juicing and being a vegan just fine I think I need to add in some workouts again. I want to do just simple at home workouts. No gym, no dvds. I was a beach body coach at one time and bought quite a few of their workouts and then a couple of years later sold a couple of them on ebay. I dont want to overwhelm myself with certain programs or a gym membership again although, I will browse. ;) Once I get fit I would like to build some serious muscle. Not bulky but still have maybe a little bigger than lean muscle. IDK I am not sure yet.
As an entrepreneur its amazing how many health and wellness companies there are out there.
The new multivitamin I bought is working well. It has everything and especially protein, iron and B12. I havent felt weak since the second day of becoming a vegan. Plus I make sure I add enough protein in my meals daily.
I decided once I have been a vegan for a couple of months I am going to take a trip to whole foods or sprouts (not near me), then go to a vegan restaurant and buy a vegan shirt as a treat and reward for becoming vegan. :)
Well to end my night I had some organic oatmeal with no dairy just cashew milk and some hot tea with stevia and vanilla soy milk.
Goodnight :)

Day 3
The only bad thing I had was some tootsie rolls and a few hot fries plus 2 mcnuggets. I had a stressful morning. But ironically I still feel in control of not eating meat or dairy. I almost got french fries at mcdonalds but decided against it since it uses oil with animal beef in it.
I had a smoothie today too, I wanted something creamy so I made a smoothie with honey (not vegan want to finish it up and hate wasting food), cashew milk, green grapes, bananas and ice.
Then I was still hungry so I had a toasted bagel sandwich with vegan mayo, avocado, tomato, onion, jalapenos and salt & pepper.
Whats great about being vegan though is all the options you have, you can eat unlimited fruits, veggies, nuts and beans plus carbs. :)
To end my meal for the night I had a PB&J on a half a bagel with Silk Soy Vanilla milk...YUM!
MADE IT THREE DAYS! SO PROUD OF MYSELF! :D
