Day 2 as a Vegan - well kinda

So Day 2 I actually went shopping so I can eat something other than veggie burgers and fruit.  Again not a bad day but I wasn't as disciplined as I was on day 1.  In the grocery store they had lots of vegan options such as waffles, cheese, bread and ice cream and other goodies.  This life isn't too bad. 

Here's what I ate:

I kninda skipped breakfast (not good but I just wasn't hungry)

Lunch - Veggie burger on bagel halfs and sautéed spinich

Snack - non-dairy smoothie & olives (I love olives)

Dinner - Vegan styled teriyaki sauce veggie and noodles

Late night snack - I had pop corn and lots of it. Not so good plus it had butter.  But that's ok I will do better next time should have got the kettle corn instead.

I had about 2 cups of tea and my favorite - V8's pomegranate and blueberry juice.

LESSON LEARNED:  You should not neglect drinking your water.  I slacked on it because I thought eating healthy will compensate. I don't love water but it's very necessary for me to keep things moving - if you know what I mean. TMI, sorry I'm honest. I also learned that you're not safe from making bad food choices anywhere - not even Block Busters.. ***sigh*** Also be wear of gluten free, they put it with the vegan food so you may assume it's ok.  Me and hubby read EVERY label before we put it in the cart,

HOW I FEEL:  I feel VERY energetic!!  I usually feel sluggish and still sleepy in the mornings when I get up but here lately I noticed I don't have that feeling.

Thanks for following me on my journey..

Day 1 of Veganism lost 2 lbs already

Hello All,

My name is Keisha and I'm a makeup artist (www.keishawillisbeauty.com) and me and my daughter (Chae) decided to go vegan for 1 week. In case some don't know, Vegan food is food that is plant based nothing from an animal at all.  After watching Oprah and she and some of her staff did it we thought this would be good.  Well I completed my first day yesterday and it was not bad at all.  They have several vegan options now making it much, much easier.  Our reason of doing this is to be healthier and loosing weight is a great bi-product.  So I figured we will chronicle our quest to be vegan and maybe we can help others. Chae will blog about her experience too so you can see how a teenager feels about it.

Also we are doing it a little different because we also saw Tyra so I want to make sure I'm making good choices and only eat a carb with one meal because you can actually gain weight on the vegan diet.

So here's what I ate on day one:

Breakfast - Orange
Lunch - Veggie sandwich from Subway on Wheat (I'm praying it was Vegan wheat bread), tomatoes, black olive and sweet onion sauce (No Cheese or Mayo).
Snack - split a fry with my 2 year old
Dinner - Vegan burger and chopped up Veggies

I lost 2 lbs already!!  not bad

LESSON LEARNED:  it's pretty common sense and what everyone says when starting a new diet or lifestyle, I should have prepared for it and bought the food before hand.

HOW I FEEL: I feel really, really good because I am doing something good for my body and I actually just feel good over all - good energy.
