A Vegan Adventure - Day 5

Well it seems that the days are getting harder and harder as I'm having to become more creative in what I eat. Today I counted the remaining days and realized that I'll have two weeks left this Wednesday. I can't say that this left me overwhelmed with joy and excitement. In fact I'm going to be completely honest, this is a very hard transition! It is much more difficult than I had expected, but I have a feeling that it may be worth it. I guess we'll find out two weeks from Wednesday!

Today the diet has me eating...
Breakfast: A Fantastic Fruit Smoothie! (see recipe below)
Lunch: Curried Lentil Soup
Snack: Edamame, and Hummus
Supper: Today is a dine-out day!!!! A vegan option for the mexican-food-lovers is the bean burrito without the cheese or sour cream, and loaded with veggies.

Self-Evaluation

1. Physical--There are no noticeable differences at this point.
   
2. Emotional--No noticeable changes here either.
   
3. Mental--Feeling fairly alert, but no more or less than a normal day.
   
4. Energy--I've been yawning all day but I don't really feel tired. In fact yesterday I had a lot of energy and was able to get a lot of stuff done that I've been putting off.
   
5. Digestion--No noticeable changes at this point.
