Days 4 & 5

Oh wow. Work totally wore me out yesterday. I was so tired when I got home. But enough excuses. This diet is getting challenging. I get the feeling that I'll be eating the same things over and over again. From what I can see, there isn't much of a variety when it comes to vegan food. Just about everything in the grocery store has either eggs, milk, or meat. It's hard to know what's okay and what isn't.

Day 4

For breakfast, I had the typical peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat. You know, I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to eat that kind of bread. Are there eggs in bread?

Lunch time! I had a really great salad. Iceberg and romaine lettuce with Greek vinaigrette. Barbecue kettle chips and some gluten free cookies. Nothing special other than the fact that I got to eat this at home. It was all super fresh.

Like always, there are parts of the day where I mess up really bad. I had kettle chips and ALL of the remaining gluten free cookies. I felt bad afterwards. Even though these those are supposed to be healthy, I still felt my insides screaming, "RACHAEL! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?" Now the cookies are all gone and I won't be able to make that mistake again.

Day 5

Like the day before, I had a PB&J. And like I said before, I'm running out of variety.

I wasn't able to make a lunch for today due to lack of time. Let's move on.

Dinner is always the best meal of the day (except for yesterday). I made a huge salad with iceberg and romaine lettuce, chopped onions, broccoli, carrots, and Greek vinaigrette. It was the best thing I've ever eaten. I had peaches on the side and for some reason, I made gluten free rice mac and cheese. Let me tell you something. That was the worst mac and cheese I have ever eaten. The box said to boil it for 12 minutes, and I never actually go by the box. So I boiled the noodles for 15 like I always do with regular mac and cheese. I put in the cheese powder, butter, and coconut milk. My mom had the first bite. Right there, I knew something was wrong. I took a bite and made the same face she did. They were so not cooked all the way. They tasted kind of stale. Yuck yuck. But it's okay now. All the mac and cheese is gone, so I will not be buying anymore.

Besides the lack of variety, everything is going well. I ordered a Warby Parker home try-on kit two nights ago. I hope to post a review next Friday. They have some really cute glasses on their website. They have this thing where you can order five pairs of glasses without prescription lenses so you can try them on and see what you like. And the best part is, it's free. You don't even have to pay for shipping. You get to keep them for a week then send them back when you're done. It's so cool. If you're interested, you can visit their website: www.warbyparker.com

I promise I'll do better. I'm going to a seminar today so I'm interested in seeing what I'll choose to bring for dinner.
Until next time...
God Bless You and God Bless America
