I had the most delicious vegan sushi today. It had rice, nori, cucumber, avocado, and carrots. I am addicted. As soon as I go back to Whole Foods I am picking up some more. So good, and vegan and soy-free! Yummy.
I realized today that not everyone is on board with me going vegan. My mom, who usually has something to say regardless of the situation, said that I shouldn't be vegan because "it's a hard life." Ironically, she says the same thing about being Justin Bieber as well. Maybe that's my problem. And I went to get my supplements today and got a little bit of grief about being vegan, that I would lose muscle mass if I went vegan. I have heard for the most part that is not true, as long as your getting a variety of protein sources and you aren't, for instance, eating just greens or just lentils or whatever exclusively. A variety of sources will keep your muscle mass up. He suggested I try the protein powder because I didn't have all the dairy and such in my diet. I had the same symptoms like wicked major stomachaches and shortness of breath, so I don't think I will be including that in my protein regimen. I am going to try a Vega nutritional shake tonight and see if it's any good. I think before I didn't put nearly enough water in the thing so it turned into something gross. I got a different flavor and will mix it in a shaker bottle so we will see. :-)
I am also struggling with my faith a little bit, just because some of the things I see in the Bible, like ritual slaughtering of animals and such. I know it's a far cry from the crazy CAFOs we have today, but for some reason I'm just having a little trouble reconciling it. That's why I have always liked Buddhism, because they are so laid-back and practice compassion to all beings. I have a lot of respect for someone who can do that and really get it. But I suppose there are some Christians like that too. I don't know, we will have to see. :-)
Sorry to get real in-depth with this post, lol! I wasn't intending to go this deep at all, but I guess it kind of happened. I digress.
I hope everyone has a great night. I will be going to lab in the morning and then will chill for the weekend. :-) Be blessed and enjoy the journey!
