Day 1 - Vegan

February 1, 2014

First day of the Peace Advocacy Network's Vegan Pledge.  At the first meeting I enjoyed a vegan cookie, but didn't feel too well after even a few bites - felt sick and got a brief head ache -- I think it's the sugar...stuff gives me a head ache I'm sure.

Feeling very good about decision to go vegan.  It is WONDERFUL to have a support network. 

Went to Harmony Farms afterwards and filled my cart full of stuff that has never been in my house.  Again, it was nice to have someone help me in the store - someone who didn't look at me weird and knew exactly what it was that I needed.

Afterward went with the kids to Whole Foods, again with my I Quit Sugar shopping list.  In the produce section I felt overwhelmed -- again, buying food I've never tried (fennel anyone?) -- but I thought to myself, why the heck, give it a try - it can't kill you and in fact will probably make you feel better.

Concerns right now??  Mainly I'm worried about making the time to plan my meals.  There are so many things I need/want to do.  I'm looking at the shit-hole that is my living room, thinking about the BDB book I'm 3/4 way through, and the vegan books and the other books and all the produce waiting to be eating in the fridge.

I FEEL FRIED!  It's okay, it's all good. I'll manage.  I'd love a good night sleep...but I just gave my bed up to the kids b/c they weren't going to bed.
