Yeah, so I've completely given up being vegan. I don't have the kind of willpower that Samm does. I can't help it - I LOVE dairy, and I LOVE meat. I'm still trying to incorporate a lot more fruits and veggies into my diet, but it's tough - I just don't like cooking if I'm not sure what the outcome is going to be. I am so busy, so I hate wasting time on a meal that I don't want to eat! I do love making salads, but I also feel like I'm adding a lot of fat with the dressing.
Plus, my husband broke our food processor a few months ago, and I have yet to go out and get a new one. Once I do, however, I plan on trying to recreate the avocado dressing that Borrowed Earth Cafe puts on their salads. Now that it's starting to warm up, I think it will be much easier to eat a lot of salads and fruit compotes and things like that. During the winter I just want warm soup, and thick bread.
I did stick with the 21 days, though, and that's what I set out to do. I also know how to make cheeseless recipes for my lactose-intolerant husband. And, we only drink rice milk or almond milk now instead of lactose-free milk (him) or skim milk (me). I have so much respect for Samm for continuing with her vegan diet. It's so tough!
Namarie!
