Day 20-Final Day

Well this is actually the last day. Actually the diet ENDS today. Due to health reasons, (being weak and hungry etc....) my mom and I have decided its best to end a day early. I am sure that a lot of people will say "oh you couldn't make it 21 days!!" but let me tell you that 20 days was certainly enough. It was quite difficult, and I advise that if anyone wants to seriously attempt this, they should think long and hard about it. I had milk this morning for the first time in 3 weeks, and it tasted awful! I was surprised because I used to absolutely love milk and drink it everyday. I assume that it will just take quite some time to get used to everything again. I have three weeks worth of hunger pent up, so I am sure that I will be eating A LOT these next few days to catch up. Overall it was an "enlightening" experience. It made me appreciate the fact that I was eating healthy, and that we should all pay more attention to what we are eating and HOW MUCH we are eating. Most importantly, it was a way of staying away from meat in order to discourage the mistreatment of animals. Support animals!!! Thanks for reading!!! =]

Day 19

Well today was an epic FAIL when it comes to my vegan-liciousness. I am okay with the fact that I cheated just a BIT considering the fact that I have been pretty strict with myself this entire time. I actually tried to be good for lunch, but it ended up not being what I expected when I ordered. I found out that eating beef is a bad idea, taking into account that my body is NOT used to it. fun!!! (not.) 2 MORE DAYS

Breakfast:
YEP, you guessed it!!! toast with pb
Lunch:
cho-fun noodles. (with beef.ew)
Dinner:
umm..pizza.it was my option?

Day 18

It is day 18 which means only THREE DAYS LEFT!!!! Now that I look back it really hasn't seemed like too long, but it will certainly be a relief to go back to my normal eating. The reason this has seemed somewhat difficult is because it is hard to keep creative when it comes to vegan cooking. If this were a permanent lifestyle change, I would put forth more effort in order to make a more diverse menu, but considering it is only three weeks, I have accepted that I'm pretty much eating the same thing everyday. I am quite sick of the food I am eating, but I can handle three more days!!!

Breakfast:
Toast w/ PB
Lunch:
random vegan-licious snacks
Dinner:
rice w/ mushrooms
Dessert:
SOY ice cream sandwich

Day 17

Well I am getting very anxious to go back to my normal eating now. It is just starting to hit me how much I want to eat GOOD food. But one statement: I am so SICK of rice!!!

Breakfast:
Smoothie
toast w/ PB
Lunch:
rice w/ mushrooms and carrots
Dinner:
rice with potatoes and pumpkin squash
Dessert:
SOY ice cream sandwich (SOOO good!)

Day 16

I cant believe this is the LAST WEEK of this crazy food diet-oops I mean veganism...

Breakfast:
Toast w/PB (surprisingly, I don't miss actual butter)
Lunch:
*exception*
Dinner:
Risotto w/ vegetables

Day 15

OK, I am going to say it-this vegan thing is more ANNOYING than inconvenient. I am well aware what I can and cannot have, but now its just bugging me. I WANT milk, and chocolate, and cheese, and yummmmy food. Oh well.

Breakfast:
Toast w/ PB
tea
Lunch:
Ministroni soup
Dinner:
*exception*
Dessert:
Vegan cupcake. yay!!

Day 14

Wow! Fourteen days! And I am still alive!! Today was a very vegan oriented day, because we went to SF for the day and found an all vegan restaurant! It was called Herbivore, and it was great!!! It was nice knowing that I could pick anything off the menu instead of going straight to the salads. I noticed that all the vegan people in there were very trendy and healthy looking! I suppose I am one of them temporarily!

Breakfast:
Smoothie
Lunch:
VEGAN french toast!
Dinner
Bread w/ peanut butter
