Who Wants To Be A Vegan?

February 9, 2011 Comments : 3

I’ve considered living a vegan lifestyle quite a few times over the past few years. I absolutely would not have a problem with this…I love fresh foods and could care less if I ate meat. I actually go days without eating any sort of animal product and don’t even realize it. The biggest obstacle for me is the fact that I moved back home after college and while I attend law school. See, last Spring when I was living in my townhouse, I always cooked for myself and ate extremely healthy foods. I still eat healthy at home at least 95% of the time, but my family eats meat and dairy products. I would really like to experiment more with vegetarianism and eventually veganism, but I would have to make a huge commitment by cooking all of my own meals!

I’ve been seeing Oprah’s “Vegan For A Week” idea all over the blog world, and I see a lot of people have jumped on the bandwagon. I haven’t done enough research yet, but soon I would like to experiment with it. I love to cook, and I love living a healthy lifestyle. And I know that “healthy” does not mean you have to be a vegan or vegetarian. That’s just what I think would be healthy for me.

Did you know that Americans eat an average of 197 LBS of meat per year?! And that the average American consumes 70 more lbs. per year than we did a century ago? Another interesting fact: on average, non-meat eaters live 6-10 years longer than meat eaters. Crazy! I found all of this info on Oprah’s website.

Ivar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

Have you tried a vegetarian or vegan diet? What did you like or dislike about it?

Ivar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
