In my 30 days I had 2 non-vegan donuts, a few eggs (breakfast, mostly) and 1 canned tuna (that's 50 g of tuna) that I did not particularly enjoy.
In my 30 days I lost 4 kg, 7-8 cm in waistline, 2 cm on my hips and 2 cm on my thighs (and losing) - which is the area I want most to work on. And all this without even cutting on my meal portions. If anything, I'm eating more than ever. The past week I have eaten so much junk food that - any other day - it would have shown on my waistline, for sure. Well, my PMS is gone now and so is the junk food out of my menu.
My jeans are really coming loose. Skirts that were a bit tight, are fitting great now. The one thing no one speaks about: my digestion improved dramatically. In my PMS times I used to be really blocked, for like days, and needed extra magnesium and digestive mineral waters for help. Well, all great in that department as well this month!
I feel great, I mean, really great.
As my partner is currently suffering from some kind of spring fatigue and needs sleep, I have been adjusting myself naturally to the summer clock (waking up at 6.30 on my own, but still going back to sleep until 7am). Well, truthfully, I mostly fall asleep by 11pm tops on the couch, so I do get my beauty sleep. I also regularly consume Vitamin C supplements (I don't believe you can have too much Vitamin C in spring time), so I guess that helps, too.
Not eating meat the past 30 days has been great - physically and mentally. But I do believe this is not a decision to be taken on a whim. I have been preparing myself for this for a long time. Thinking about it. Trying a day or two. Reading about it. Researching it. Supplying myself with cookbooks. Thinking about what to cook & eat. And, also very important, informing my family about it for support.
If you're a bit picky about the food you eat, going vegan means more effort. I admit, I am picky. I don't like beans, at all (sometimes I eat them in soups, though - where I cannot see them). I also hate mushrooms (because they're... you know.... fungi. Like... mold and skin-infections stuff, eww). I also have trouble with some greens, sour food and beets. So preparing meals means double trick. I am trying my best and over the past years have learnt to eat & enjoy more vegetables than ever. But with some food it's just plain struggle and I really fear eating out :) Like, you order vegetarian you get cheese, you ask no cheese you get mushrooms. Familiar?
So, to sum up. Expanding this to 90 days!
With spring approaching and more goods in season (mom will soon start providing), this should be fun!
