And so it begins...

How was your Day One?

I spent most of mine hopping from one store to the next making sure I had all of my food groups, meals, and snacks covered. Whole Foods, MoMs, and even BJ's were among the many stops. By the end my bags were filled with all types of new vibrant colors, smells, and names I've never heard of before. Not only did my diet increase, but apparently this is also gonna increase my vocabulary. Words like Tofurkey, Agave, Hemp Milk, and Cashew Butter showed me just how little I knew about this lifestyle. I even came across a package of Manna (which the Israelites ate for 40days in the wilderness)! I really didn't think the day would've gotten that deep...but it did!

After all that shopping I had big plans of coming home to make some gluten, freezing some tofu overnight, and preparing a meal plan for the next few days. Yea right! All the energy I could muster was used to clean out my very 'non-veggie' fridge to make room for the new goodies. So instead of an evening of fine Vegetarian dining, I ended up chowing down on some leftover stewed fish, coconut rice and some plantains. I'm so glad we made fish an option....lol.

But tomorrow will be a better day, now that I'm locked, stocked, and loaded. Promise!

So um....how was your first day?
