day 1 1/2... still alive.

So, yes, I am still alive and kickin'. My brain feels like it's going to explode from lack of caffeine, but other than that, this vegan "cleanse" is going quite well. I officially started Sunday, and kicked it off Saturday night with a late night shopping trip to Whole Foods. It took me way longer than I had expected, as reading every single ingredient on labels is a bit time consuming. So many things have added gluten and sugar, so I have to be careful.

Yesterday I had a fruit and soy yogurt parfait for breakfast (yummy), a southwestern tofu wrap for lunch (it was okay...), and marinated and grilled portobellos over a "summery" quinoa (fantastic!). Sounds so much better than my normal everyday meals, and I really enjoyed cooking them. Especially the quinoa... I think I have found a new love.

I had an intense sugar/sweet craving last night, but curbed it with some pistachios. heh. And the caffeine. God, the caffeine is killing me. I took a nap yesterday not from lack of energy, but from headache. It's hitting me right now too, so we'll see how the rest of the day pans out. Overall though? I felt very... consistent yesterday. Didn't have tired spells after eating, didn't overstuff myself, and felt excellent when I rolled out of bed this morning...

Other than that nonsense, weekend was relaxing. Saw Step Brothers, which was pretty amusing. Went to the farmer's market, and really enjoyed it. I'll be buying my produce from there now, and breaking the habit of the nasties at Meijer... ugh.

So to wrap up, another bad web ad, installment #2:
Bad type, bad photoshop. No other words to explain... So hysterical.
