Today is my first day as an official Vegan and starting myself on a healthier path of life.
I will admit, last night I went out with a bang: I ate and drank the most unhealthy things possible. Probably not the best idea in hindsight, but I was out at iHop with friends and knew that would be a place I would probably never go again after that night. I got their Cinna-Stack pancakes: Pancakes with cinnamon roll center and icing. Very tasty, but after I few bites I felt like it was too much sweets. I also had some of Eric's hash browns and 3 Mountain Dews... ouch! I will have to be working off those calories this week!
This morning first thing I did when I woke up was went straight to the Wii Fit. It was the first time I had been on it in 341 days according to the Wii. My weight is 109 (using the -2lbs for clothes weight if that is even correct) and my BMI is 20.56.
I worked out with a few of the balance games and all of the yoga moves for 40 minutes.
After my workout I ate a serving of Quick Oats oatmeal with tons of cinnamon, a few handfuls of Emerald CoCoa Roast Almonds (which I think are vegan), and a full glass of water. I plan to do more cardio later in the day by rollerblading with Paul and then biking once Eric gets home.
To add to my day I also would like to clean the house and rid if of the last few Christmas decorations and I need to go grocery shopping for my meals for the week. Last night I planned out all of my meals and figured out which stores I thought would have the ingredients I needed for the cheapest. I tried to use recipes with things I had or I knew were cheap and easy to attain at stores like Walmart and Save-A-Lot, minus a few items I will need to get at a natural foods store in town.
Being Vegan and changing my lifestyle is going to take not just knowledge and will power, but planning to fit everything into my week.
I will write more after lunch and dinner to tell you what I have accomplished!
