Day Two

So, I've already messed up by eating some baklava, which is made with honey. Oh well. Progress, not perfection! I did my first juice. Still drinking it. My juicer is fabulous. It makes what I call "chuice" because there's enough pulp still in it that I have to chew on it. :-D It was a mix of apple (Fuji and Granny Smith), lemon, ginger, parsley, celery, carrot, green pepper, and radish. Not bad, actually.

I also had a bagel and some vegan cream cheese alternative, which was nice. Still on the soda.

I'm also hungry. I'm going to have to make myself a little something. Hopefully I don't go too nuts this time.

Day One

Today was Day One as a vegan. I didn't do particularly well on the eating front. I had the Sweet Greens juice at Starbucks, along with a banana. I had my typical two diet Dr. Peppers, which I really need to stop doing. I had a salad with sesame ginger dressing (Metropolitan Market). I ate about three servings of homemade split pea soup. It was delicious, but a surfeit. 

While I was at it, I went to the fruit stand to buy fruits and vegetables for juicing. I have three juices to make tomorrow. I'm a bit afraid. 

I'm trying to decide whether to toss my dairy and eggs or give them to a friend. They're open, so I can't donate them. I might just make something tasty and bring it to my friends at the wine tasting, but... temptation! We'll see how I feel by next week. Also... cute boy is coming to the wine tasting! I will be bringing my seduction bread and wearing something cute. 

I've been thinking a lot about food, farming, and health. I think I have a good idea for legislation proposal. In order to keep their subsidies, farmers must produce food that is used (not thrown away). Any subsidies lost by the corn/wheat/soy industry fund an addition to the food stamp program. I vote for having a food stamp program that can only be used on fresh produce. Doing so would help people dealing with food scarcity get food that is nutrient dense.
