Week 2 Update

This week I did add some cooked food. I kept it Vegan except for 2 occasions. Where I broke down and ate what my family was eating and what my boss bought for lunch. Stayed vegetarian though.

I had the good energy up until Thursday and used up every ounce of it. Friday and Saturday I continued to push and get things done that needed doing. Today I am paying for it.

My legs are hurting badly and my shoulders, right hip and right knee are in pain as well. The pain kept me up last night. I was so tired that it was intermittent and I didn't wake up enough to take any pain medication.

This is not bad news for the dietary changes. I have talked with people who have lived Vegan for their whole lives. I got some good ideas and was able to add a few more cooking things to our pantry that will help us all change how we prepare food.

Even given the pain I have been able to get more done than in the past. Hubs gave me wise counsel and told me to remind myself that I am not cured of anything yet. I can't take the inch given me and use it go a yard.

So I'll be slowing down just a little and try to take care of me while I am healing my body.

When I add a few more things I will be posting recipes that I try and like on this site. This will include breads and other meals.

For our dinner tonight I substituted frozen stir fry veggies for the meat on my spaghetti. It was delicious and more filling than the meat.

I have changed the salt we use as well. We now use RealSalt which is pink. Better for you with a great taste.

I'm liking this more each day. Our fruit and veggie bill has increased three fold. It is still cheaper than buying all the meat I was buying.

If you have questions I will answer them. I am no expert. I just know what I am doing. You can ask in the comments or email me with the link on the side bar.
