Sometimes Vegan Week 1

The first week of my Vegan Lifestyle was I wouldn't say hard, but it was definitely an adjustment. From previous post you all can see I have put a lot of thought into this. I was debating on meal prepping these vegan meals or not and in the end I decided against it. I left enough time in my schedule each day during the week to cook. In addition to eating different during the week I also went ahead and decided to start back drinking a minimum of 1 Gallon of water per day.

After the first week I had more energy that normal, there were times throughout the week when I was starving, which is new for me I rarely get the sense that I need food even when I am not eating vegan. So this feeling was a first, and when it happened I would snack on a mandarin orange or other types of fruit that I have easy access to.

I would also like to add that eating vegan initially is pretty expensive. Reason being I had to buy everything all the way from egg substitute down to vegan butter. My initial grocery bill was a tad bit pricy however going forward I will just need to restock on tofu, fruits and veggies. Just wanted to let you guys know in case this is something that you are considering. In addition to food items I purchase a couple other things to help me on this journey one being a Vegan cookbook. Another thing that I purchased to go along with my vegan lifestyle is a food processor. In the near future I am going to start making my own almond butter and almond milk. Almond butter alone cost me $11 and I go through a tub every couple weeks (I prefer the Justins brand). So my food processor will pay for itself in no time.

I will continue with weekly updates, in addition to meals that I ate during that particular week.
