Didn't think I would be able to think up something for everyday.  I should have known I would have too much too say to even consider that!  I have been 95% successful in my Veganism this past week.  It's tough to feel like I didn't make it because I didn't read all the ingredients :(  I made some rice for lunch yesterday and wanted something crunchy, all I could find were chips.  Half way through eating lunch I realized like a dummy that I was eating sour cream and onion potatoe chips; duhh--milk in the sour cream.  

     I did not know what would be the hardest thing to give up, now I realize that of all of it I think cheese is The most difficult, half because I don't even realize how many foods have it within their ingredients for flavor enhancers; even breadcrumbs!  I found an article as well yesterday that discusses cheese being the most difficult for many new Vegans, too true.  Each day as I read through my new books and magazines to help encourage and support my path I write down recipe additions to my shopping list so that i can better prepare something I know I will enjoy.  A bit tricky when I really have not been enough of a vegetable or salad person to start with.  I do find already though that the flavors of foods are more pronounced.  I quit smoking for the last time on August 5th 2011 and my taste buds thanked me then.  This push into being Vegan has given it back the last buds I had been keeping blindfolded for years.  Makes this Venture even more comforting thinking I know I will enjoy what I'm eating and will stick to this new way of life.  

     I am set up for the yoga class next Tuesday and am deciding which extra class to go to so I can make up my missed class.  May just be a meditation class; probably what I need the most!
