Off The Rails
Well that didn’t take long.
While it has been easy to remain vegan, the last 24 hours have seen me eating avocados, processed soy, bagels, and plenty of nightshades. Not very “macro” of me at all. I comfort myself with the knowledge that I still made ethical, relatively healthy choices. Plus I bought my first umeboshi plums today, so there’s hope for me yet.
A quick note on how I’ve been feeling: I am sleeping better at night and I no longer have sharp crashes when I get hungry. My energy still falls in the afternoons, but I think I can figure that out by changing my meal schedule a bit. Yesterday’s bagel and vegan cream cheese actully didn’t tast very good to me, but I felt obligated not to waste it. The bagel felt gluey and mushy and sticky, and not as nice as my grains. The spread, which I used to love, tasted too fake. I guess it is true that one develops a taste for real food, even rather quickly. The potato soup and salsa on my rice, however, both tasted wonderul! While I am mindful of eating nightshades, I don’t think I am ready to limit them just yet.
