THE LAST HOORAH?

FRIDAY

I was so tired when I arrived home last night, i didnt have the energy to blog and whatnot.

I had a few friends that came over to hangout and we did actually have a late dinner. That was a bit of a challenge because NONE of my friends are vegan and so aren't late night restaurants. 

However, i did chose some vegan friendly dishes which were mostly rice and pickled veggies. Everyone's meal looked so mouthwatering good!

Korean sushi or kimbap with a side of salad and shots of soju.

This meal was heavy as f***! even though it was mainly rice and veggies the stomach couldn't handle it. 

SATURDAY

THE LAST DAY!

I did reward myself with a meal from Veggie Grill. 100% vegan friendly restaurant located in Santana Row and throughout california. They have delicious dishes like burgers and nachos that are vegan! Pretty tasty  but i couldn't stand vegan cheese. Its just too weird to me!

My phone had low battery so i didnt get a chance to take a photo :(

But this whole experience was such an eye opener! Not so life changing but it really did change my perspective on what goes into my body.

Would I call myself vegan? Not 100% but I still do want to continue this challenge for the rest of my life. Maybe ill have a burger here and there but i want to limit that to a least two times a week!

and just for the record, I didn't treat this as a "weigh loss" diet because I rarely workout and I didn't really lose weight (not that i need to though). I wanted to see what other vegans get to experience health wise. Good skin and long lasting energy!

btw...i do see a a difference in my skin!

I encourage everyone to really take on this challenge. Not three days not one but A FULL WEEK!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed what I ate LOL

DAY 5 - ALMOST THERE!

This morning I felt energized during my cardio session. My lazy ass usually would want to stop after 30  minutes but after my daily oatmeal breakfast, I felt like I could've gone longer! Sadly, I was short on time and had to fit in some weights after.

But I actually felt good this morning! Not too groggy or sleepy! I hope it's from the good food i've been consuming.



Still feeling full from todays meals, I made a quick butternut squash soup for dinner. To be honest, Im getting a bit tired from cooking my meals, work, school and just life. It was just so easy to grab or microwave a precooked meal from Costco.

Don't we all wish we had a personal chef sometimes?

butternut squash. sweet potato, asian pear, carrot, onions, coconut milk, veggie broth, coconut milk, salt

pepper, paprika, a pink of curry (this made it spicy).

Steamed and blended.

taste so good! especially after a long tiring day.

DAY 4 - SMOOTHING SAILING

Super excited that my veggie patties turned out like actual veggie patties! When I cooked them yesterday it just looked like stir fried rabbit food, but I added some organic breadcrumbs to soak in the liquid. I even had some left over to freeze for later use!

For late lunch I used the leftover pasta and mixed it up with whatever veggies and greens I had laying around. Never really liked a cold pasta salad but this was delish!

Just finished the day off with some steamed veggies. I needed to fulfill my sweet tooth and had apple slices with cookie butter. OMG THIS SHIT IS YUMMY! ID PUT THIS MUTHAFLUCKA ON EVERYTHING! and its vegan so booyah!

oh! i purchased some vitamins just incase if i was missing out in some daily action. The woman's daily supplements were on sale at Target and pretty much contained all the nutrients you can get from eating meats. dairy and eggs. 

If there are any supplements I should take please let me know!

Im pretty much past my withdrawal stage and I do feel a satisfying "full" after every meal! I think i might extend this challenge until I leave for LA next weekend cus I'm a MUTHA FLOCKIN GANGSTAH LIKE THAT.

in the meantime, enjoy this video. it was probably in your dinner :(
