Soo... I decided to start a vegan diet and yesterday was my first day! I've decided to use my blog as not only for hair and makeup for to keep a journal about turning myself beautiful from the inside out! I have been interested in nutrition but because of my OBSESSION with food have never taken any steps to change my diet. I've never really looked at diet as a way to beautify yourself. Lately in my classes we have been talking about all the different benefits that come with fruits and vegetables, most are benefits for your skin, hair, and nails. I would LOVE to strengthen my hair and skin, especially since i have a long line of skin cancer in my family to beat.
Im going to start keeping up with all of you and ask you to please comment and give me some recipes that i can try and post about!- And i know this doesn't seem too fun.... but Im allowing myself to start with TWO cheat days... then ill have one in a few weeks.
Ill track my progress with all of you, even if that means sharing gross details and embarrassing pictures. I need motivation and help.
Heres one of my first steps!
Here I bagged up some different snacks to take to school or a friends house.. or even out drinking.. hehe. I bought bags of peanuts, veggie sticks(taste like potato chips) and dried fruit from Trader Joes and spent about 15 minutes making my own snack bags! Its so easy and you will in turn save money by not buying a bag of chips out of the vending machine!
For my first dinner I made brown rice(Trader Joes has easy freezer packets- microwave for 3 minutes) green pepper, onion, tomato(which i HATE!!! but they are so good for you!) and carrots! On the side I had a 1/4 cup of peanuts! I actually still have leftovers for today as well.
So there it is! my first day as a vegan! It wasn't that bad.... Minus the cravings for sushi, cheeseburgers, and really anything with meat and dairy... oops.
PLEASE comment below and give me suggestions and tips!
