My First Vegan Meal Day Plan

Today I made my first-ever conscious effort to eat 100% vegan.
Not as hard as I thought, really.

Here is my meal plan for the day:

Breakfast:
1 cup of organic grape juice
1 cup of granola
1 banana (sliced and put IN granola)
1/2 cup of Soy milk over cereal and fruit

Comments: I LOVED this breakfast. This was one of the most satisfying morning meals I've had in a long time. I don't think a vegan breakfast will be very hard to get used to.

Lunch:
1 can of soup - carrot and butter-bean (absolutely NO eggs or dairy - I checked the can)
1 green apple
1 bottle of water

Comments: Very yummy. At the same time - pretty plain and pretty typical. Soup and an apple. Nothing special -but - it's pretty much what I have everday for lunch anyway...no real challenge here though. Would have gone well with a piece of Manna Bread, but unfortunately, left it at home. More on Manna Bread in another blog.
Great lunch for work ...I think sandwiches will be a challenge...so far so good, I am full.

Din-Din:
1 cup of soy milk
1 green apple
1/4 cup of non-salted, shelled sunflower seeds
An average-size slice of tofu-soy fake "mozarella" cheese (for extra calcium)
pretty MAJOR bowl of salad w/ lettuce, green peas, radish
crusty croutons (made with - to my delight SOY!)
and - a vegan-friendly soy-based zesty oriental-type dressing!

Comments: A good supper. The salad was very much a dinner-sized salad, so I was completely full. With the fruits, tofu/soy and veggies - I think I definetely had my fair share of proper calcium and protein (especially w/ the dark greens in the salad). For the most part - I am completely stuffed and satisfied. Will it take some getting used to? I think so. Is it POSSIBLE to eat this way EVERY day - sure. Can I do it...I don't know yet.

I must say though - all things aside - writing down what I ate today was a FANTASTIC excercise. I really watched what I ate and thought about anything I was contemplating eating VERY hard. I'm not much of a nutritionist at ALL - anyone who konws me can attest - but, I don't think I ate half bad today.
I might even drop a few pounds outta this... you just never know.

Went for a walk with Life Partner in the evening. We walked by an icrecream store and I felt my buttcheeks TWITCH with desire for a nice creamy scoop of chocolate dairy heaven.

I withheld myself.

"The lord is my sheppard," I whispered in my head. "I shall not want."

But fuck that! I wanted it. I wanted it so bad I could almost taste its creamy cow-goodness.

But I withheld.
Bravo to moi.

Tomorrow, I'll kick this blog up a notch.

Day One: A complete success.

Night,

Dan
