Days 109 & 110
I was at Panera Bread the other day and got a medium roast coffee. As I approached the coffee stand to fill up my cup after paying I realized that I had not asked if they had any soy milk.
Being in a hurry and not wanting to pester them for any as they were getting pretty busy, I just said, “screw it” and put in some skim milk instead.
Being vegan is just being too picky so here’s how it will go for the rest of the year:
-If there is no dairy substitute when I need some in my coffee I will just go for the least fattening creamer on hand.
-I will still avoid buying and consuming yogurt, cheese, milk and etc. but if a social situation comes up where that is all there is (such as a friend buying you pizza after you help them move in) and I am hungry then I will eat what they give me.
-And like I already established with eggs, dairy is okay if it is a mixed in ingredient such as in baked goods.
I am still doing a perfect job of avoiding beef, pork, poultry, fish/seafood and whole eggs though.

Three Meals a Day
Days 11 - 13
I was feeling drained Thursday morning but felt better as the day went on. I think this was because I only had two meals the day before. Makes sense when one thinks about it—less fuel, therefore less fire.
Skipping meals can be way too easy to do in our busy adult world. I bet that’s why quick fixes like Pop Tarts, McDonald’s breakfast burritos and other unhealthy options are a frequently favored solution. That’s not as healthy as eating an apple and some cereal with milk.
According to my nutritionist, our metabolisms are like a furnace that always needs fuel to burn. If we skip a meal our systems don’t operate the most efficiently that they could and we suffer for it. This can also lead to being starved and maybe eating too much at our next meal.
To combat this one could prepare their meals beforehand. Have time the night before? Pack away a lunch for the next day or get all the ingredients ready for breakfast the next morning.
Some dieticians even say instead of eating just three meals a day you should include some healthy in between meal snacks. Some almonds or a piece of fruit at 2 in the afternoon can help you pick up your pace and help tide you over until dinnertime.
