I have completed my first week of the Vegan Challenge.
Honestly, the largest obstacles on this course so far has been ditching the coffee. I had prepared myself for this farewell to coffee, a few weeks prior by switching to 1/2 caf, thinking that way I had and extra leg in the race. Boy, Oh Boy, I was wrong. I weaned myself off the first two days. Wednesday 2 cups, Thursday 1 cup, days after and since 0 CUPS !!!! I have replaced the coffee pot with a blender/ food processor on my kitchen counter. It was not easy, headaches, 3:00pm on the dot, when I would usually have my afternoon coffee fix, and extremely irritable, but I have pushed through the coffee crunch, and have be coffee clean since last Thursday, cannot believe it!!
Food, I have not felt deprived or unfulfilled regarding food. There are many vegan alternatives for the everyday non-vegan product, For example cream cheese, there is a veggie cream cheese alternative. My favorite use, is on gluten free/ diary free bread, with peeled sliced cucumbers, a lovey cucumber sandwich, and I don't even have to go to a tea party!
I have also starting morning yoga stretch regularly, weekdays 6:00am, I hit the mat, and weekends are a littler later. My goal for Week 2 is to incorporate a stronger/ slightly more intense yoga - or- Pilate's routine daily.
