I have never been much of a cook, but if ever there was a time to give it more of an effort, this would be it. Oh boy. I'm fine with NOT eating the things that are un-vegan. I am however struggling with getting the good stuff in my body. For instance, today I have eaten a wheat/raisin/walnut bagel thing, dark chocolate, wheat bread with tofurkey and vegan cheese with veganaise and mustard. Yummy, seriously. But I'm sure you can see the vegetables are missing, and the fruit too, for that matter. Usually I'm really good about the fruit, but my trip to the grocery store is overdue. Vegan recipes (well the final product) appeal to me, but I just haven't made the effort to follow them. Lacking in my diet are the bean, pepper salad with quinoa. I suppose this is just one more step on my journey. I do think that my fat levels are down since the omission of cheese but honestly can't say that my diet, today, is much healthier than anyone elses. I'm missing the point.
Better luck next week. At least no animals were hurt because of me, I'm just not reaping the benefits yet.

Don't stress ... I couldn't cook AT ALL before I went veg!!! Seriously! It was painful for me to boil water ... now I am loving it. You will get into it, no worries. :) Thanks for checking out my blog! :)))
