Today was pretty awful
I started the day off pretty good with my cantaloupe breakfast...but then my stomach REALLY started bothering me. I felt like I was going to vomit. I felt 10 times better after I snacked on some peanuts and some pretzels later on.
For lunch, I chowed on SIX veggie spring rolls....SIX!!! There was no way that I needed to eat that many. The rolls were accompanied by some rice, broccoli, and duck sauce (this duck sauce was a little better than the one you find at take Chinese food restaurants). To top off this mess, I probably had about 3oz of Pepsi. I wasn't even craving it, I just put it in my cup as I was walking by the soda fountain. I felt like such a mess, but I figured I'd have the opportunity to burn off some calories during my softball game...which we won 27-0 (I hit a homerun).
Well, I ended up pulling a muscle early on in the game, so what was supposed to be my workout turned out to be a lot of sitting. I may head over to the fitness center on campus within the next 30 minutes to get a bit of an ACTUAL workout in.
Dinner was probably worse than lunch. I had two bowls of rice topped with some type of tomato sauce concoction , a bowl of string beans, a popsicle, AND ANOTHER FEW OUNCES OF SODA! Why the hell do I feel the need to drink soda all of a sudden. My addiction is either resurfacing or I'm just trying to get a quick fix. Either one is bad news.
Someone came up to me while I was eating dinner and asked me how the vegan thing was going for me. I told her it was going well. She asked if I had noticed any changes in my body and I told her about the weight I've lost and how much cleaner I feel.
Someone else came up to me earlier today also and told me that she 'sucks at this vegan thing.' I think it's funny that so many people around me have been asking me about my diet and seem genuinely interested in what I'm doing. It not only keeps me motivated, but what I'm doing is allowing other people to look closely at their own habits. I even have a teacher who is inspired by me!
I really have to start making smarter choices concerning my eating habits since quite a few people are looking up to me (and, of coarse, for my own good more importantly). Getting more greens into my diet is a must...I can already feel my surplus of simple carbs weighing me down.
I'm going to try to get to the mall this weekend to buy a mini-blender that I can use in my dorm for the remainder of the year...maybe one like the Magic Bullet.
Doing mid-day green smoothies would really be ideal if I can get my hands on a blender. My Mom and I are working on splitting the cost of a Vita-mix since we'll both be making a lot of smoothies. Anyone have a suggestion for a good food processor/juicer?
