Surprised Myself

If some asked me to choose between giving up dairy or breathing, I would have easily ditched breathing. My bf "Pearl" has become a vegan vegitarian this past year, and I told her when she first started, "I could probably do it, if I wanted to, but I could NEVER give up dairy". Well I have given it up for almost a week now, and I'm so happy about my progress.

I cheated for the first time today. I was out in Newport with a friend and we went out for lunch at the Rouge Brewery. I was weak in the knees when I saw the crab melt and I caved. There was a wee bit of cream cheese and some chedder. Darn it. Oh well, surprisingly it's been the only time, so I'm still pretty proud of myself so far.
I also had a really great soy 'ice cream' bar.

It's vegan, organic, and oh so heavenly! You just have to try them.

I finally opened the plain Safeway Organics today. I poured into my life cereal and I didn't even notice the difference. I have not had it in a glass yet, but on cereal it was just great. I couldn't find the milk free Slim Fast.... I think it might have been 'lactose free', but that's not dairy free. Well at least I can have cereal instead, but I'm not an 'eat in the morning' kinda gal. Rats.

Tyler wanted pizza tonight. I told him I'm not quite strong enough to handle him eating that in front of me quite yet, so we went out for Chinese instead. I had the best won ton soup. The won tons are SO good, and it's loaded with veggies like pea pods, broccoli, water chess-nuts, carrots, and baby corn. I love the shrimp, chicken and bbq pork in it too. DElish!

I've been 5 days headache free now! Amazing. Maybe this is working :)
