Being vegan seems easy now compared to juice cleansing! Granted I'm eating large raw salads in the evenings, plus a banana as a nightime snack if I'm hungry... But still, I feel some major detox taking place ~ let's hope its not just all in my head. I notice such... Continue reading

I detoxed all day yesterday, consuming 3 large juices (breakfast: pineapple & grapefruit, lunch: chard, cucumber, celery, lemon, and romaine, snack: carrot & apple) followed by a large veggie salad for dinner (consisting of romaine, cucumber, sprouts, onion, green beans, and sweet potato). I felt better waking up this morning... Continue reading

I didn't write yesterday, as I was in an icky place and couldn't bring myself to face the screen and admit my sins and my guilt publicly. No, I didn't deviate from the diet. But I did drink entirely too much on Sunday, leading to a Monday of stuffing myself... Continue reading

Really I'm blogging just for the sake of the trial... I didn't want a day to go by without holding myself accountable via this blog... So here I am, reporting for duty on day 6. It's now nearly 10pm and I've made i through the day vegan. I wasn't very... Continue reading

My mother visited yesterday and stayed through this afternoon. Thankfully, she's quite understanding of my many dietary experiments, and too she is a vegetarian, so empathizes with the deer in headlights reaction you occasionally get from servers in restaurants after explaining you need a specialized menu item. I haven't really... Continue reading

So I made it another day! Blogging about this has absolutely kept me on track, as I mentioned previously that I tend not to finish things that I start. I suppose that no matter what happens physically as a result of a vegan lifestyle, I know that morally, I'm doing... Continue reading

This morning I feel a bit crappy... I ate two vegan, wheat free cookies late last night and am feeling the difference between "not eating before bed," and "eating before bed." I don't feel especially well rested, nor do I feel like my skin looks all that great. Also, I... Continue reading

Last night, I ended up being unable to eat (just because I was out and about running errands) for longer than I normally like and became quite ravenous. I ended up picking up some vegan nachos at a local carry out. They were DELICIOUS. I mentioned that I didn't want... Continue reading

So I've had a wonderful morning filled with eliminations galore. Prior to noon, I'd already made 3 trips to the "ladies room." Thankfully I work from home! Dairy clog is leaving my body in the manner of mass exodus, and that's after just one day of vegan eating (even though... Continue reading

So it begins... Here I sit, eating a pear and drinking coffee with almond milk and stevia for breakfast. It's 9:24am, and I'm about to embark upon a vegan diet for the next 30 days. I'm very much looking forward to this challenge. Just last night, I was standing in... Continue reading

After having struggled for six years to go full throttle Vegan, I've decided to do a trial for 30 days while simultaneously blogging about it, in hopes that this accountability will lead to a successful trial. See, I'm the type of person who's always starting "tomorrow." My addictive nature has... Continue reading
