Well, I'm still trying to be vegan on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and vegetarian on Tuesdays (my husband is at Game Night and he's lactose intolerant, so it's the only day I can have dairy for dinner). Last night we had sushi for dinner, and I found that I really preferred the meatless sushi. That's not a big deal, as I'm not a huge sushi fan, but then tonight we had dinner at a friend's house. She made the most delicious pasta with veggies and chicken. This was the first time since 2010 that I've had chicken, and it was so good, but I was more impressed with the flavor of the veggies. I will definitely be making that recipe.
So I kind of feel like I'm settling in to this whole partial vegan lifestyle. I no longer feel like I'm depriving myself of tasty food - I think by allowing myself meat on the weekends, I'm able to stick to the vegan diet on weekdays. In addition, I no longer fantasize about eating meat. I could probably go vegetarian on the weekends and be perfectly happy (sorry, I cannot completely cut out dairy!)
We've become a rice milk and almond milk household, using white rice milk in lieu of regular milk, and drinking chocolate almond milk as a recovery drink after runs. I've discovered that plain almond milk has a funny taste, and chocolate rice milk separates funny. Neither heats up very well (rice milk separates, the almond milk develops a strong taste).
My weight is hovering closer to where it was after the three weeks of being a strict vegan, so that's good.
I have yet to incorporate the Thrive Diet into my diet, mainly because I really struggled with the raw food diet. It's so much work, and I am an incredibly busy person, so it's just not a practical diet for me. I am still interested in making my own nutrition bars, though.
So now the big question is: What the heck am I going to do with all this crazy stuff that I bought at Whole Foods? I guess I'll have to try to incorporate it into my diet until it's gone.
Namarie!
