So its been four days since my decision to become vegan now. I really am surprised how easy it has been to make the choice not to eat any animal products. It only seems natural already. I am honestly pretty glad about that because it makes it effortless for me. I don't feel like I am depriving myself of something I still want. I genuinely don't want to eat any meat at all anymore. There may come a day when I may consider eating ethically raised, free-range dairy or eggs again, but not right now that's for sure. My biggest dilemma has been with what to do about all the frozen fish in my freezer. I know I can give it to lots of people that would love it, but knowing what I know now makes me not want to encourage people I love to eat it either or to participate in the acquiring of it. Maybe one of you readers has a thought about that. I'd love to know what you think.
As for what I have been eating lately, well.. lots and lots of vegetables and some fruit too. The last couple days have been a medley of apples, bananas, berries, cucumbers, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, purple top turnip, scallions, green beans, spinach, and lots of cooking with coconut oil and lots of seasoning. Made a pickled type of cucumber dill salad with caramelized onions and dill that was really good too. Gonna probably make some of my curry potato salad for dinner tonight. That is one of my favs!  Potatoes, onions, coconut milk, curry seasoning, and diced apples served cold. Yum!! I'll post the recipe when I make it. Anyway, I am honestly only writing today because  I have woken up feeling pretty down today. I remember when my chiropractor had given me an anti-inflammatory diet to eat and the third day was so hard because of the symptoms of detoxing. I definitely am swimming in that state today. Just low. I will keep this brief because I am not looking to rant or complain and honestly don't have the energy for it. I am tired and cranky and just don't want to do anything at all today. I just have to remind myself that its only for a short time until my body acclimates to the clean food I am eating and then I will feel better. Right now, I just want a really really strong coffee. With coconut creamer of course! FYI, if you want a healthy alternative to dairy and don't like soy, the So Delicious brand of coconut creamer adds the same creamy consistency to coffee as traditional half and half. Yes, that's right! It is just as creamy and it comes in a couple flavors as well as plain, available in the health food section cooler at Stop n Shop as well as wholefoods market of course. Just FYI.  Anyway, Thanks for reading!! :-)
