Day 5!

Happy Friday, everyone! Well, at least what's left of it.  Had another great day today. Again, essentially the same meals and snacks that I had Monday through Thursday. Now, I'm out of my salad greens, so I think we'll have a grocery/farmers market run tomorrow. By the way, 6 days of heaping salad greens - spinach and kale - cost me just $2.50 at the farmers market! What a deal! Who says healthy is expensive???

Watching The Simpson's episode, "Lisa The Vegatarian"! We find out the Apu is a vegan! While visiting Apu's secret garden on the roof of his store, Lisa learns, from Paul and Linda McCartney, that while it's important to stick to your convictions about vegetarianism, you must also tolerate the beliefs of others. Pretty cool!

Today, I had a great conversation, with a friend, about fasting. I had asked her if she had heard of the "Daniel Fast", something a few of my friends are participating in with their church. Of course, the Daniel Fast is more than just a food fast, as it is more of a spiritual journey, but the food diet part of this fast is very similar to veganism, but their are subtle differences. I may post a comparison in a later blog. Fascinating stuff! I guess what interested me most at first was this - would a vegan really be able to participate in the Daniel Fast and get the same benefit, or are they already living the life that others are only experiencing for 3 weeks. Interesting!

Weight continues to fall off! Lost another 0.4lbs yesterday, bringing my vegan total to 3.8lbs in just 4 full days!

Well, it's time for the weekend! Hope everyone has a great one! I'll be shopping at Earth Fare tomorrow! :)
