Evolution Two – week Three
Friday, June 12, 2009
Hello Folks,
Today was a day of errands. I have been trying to make a good effort at managing my time a little better. When I went to my sisters for the weekend I found myself sleeping in and feeling like I really need more of that. With such a busy schedule I don’t have rest as part of my scheduled time, so any little moment seems nice to me. Today I almost took a nap (10 minutes)....and it felt pretty good to do nothing for once.
I also went to a vegan dinner party. There are lots of nice folks there who only eat vegan. A family hosts the dinner and cooks all of the food. They are such good cooks that it makes vegan eating seem really feasible.
I was vegetarian for many years starting in college. I had decided to become vegetarian because I didn’t want to support the abuse of animals. The one problem was that I had no clue how to be vegetarian, so my diet consisted of cheese and bagels and cereal...etc. I wasn’t making sure that my diet was really well balanced, and yet I considered myself pretty healthy.
I eventually did all kinds of experiments with food, partly because of my weight problem (which I never talked about to any one) and partly because of my interest in food/ nutrition...etc. I learned many things along the way. I went for a year without eating anything with refined sugar in it. I did detox cleansing fasts, ate raw food and wild food and tried every kind of strange suggestion under the sun...to see what kind of results I would get.
Lately, I am focusing on a higher protein diet, which is yet another experiment with diet. I recently ordered some whey powder and am also planning on trying some egg white powder as well to see how my body responds to those foods. I am also a big fan of organic food and free range food. In the long run, the more I experiment with different foods, the better idea I have about how my body works and responds to different sources of energy. I will keep you posted on the results.
