6 weeks have come and gone. Time passes quickly huh? I never thought I would enjoy a "diet" (I almost hate calling it that anymore...because it's really a lifestyle change) so much, but I actually enjoyed the last 6 weeks a lot! I learned a lot about myself and what I'm capable of when I have motivation, accounability and determination! I ventured outside my safe zone with food and tried things I wouldn't have even looked at before.
The past week, I've ventured outside of my new lifestyle changes this week and reverted back to my "old self" and I gotta tell you, my body was not happy with me! My body is no longer use to consuming meat or diary products. Oh man--did I find that out the hard way. Lots of bad stomach aches and lots of trips to the bathroom! I was impressed that my body had gotten use to the way of eating I was putting it through for the past 6 weeks and was actually saying, "NOOO! I don't want that cow in me!"
So, I suppose (since my body is telling me to!) that I will be continuing on the vegan-ish train! I plan on doing 5 full days of vegan food during my week, and the other 2 days I will be adding some chicken and fish as my body allows for it. I will be staying away from red meat as much as possible.
I started going to the gym (joined Bally's and I LOVE it!) 6-7 days a week. I've been highly motivated to go and work hard when I'm there. Lots of cardio, strength training and I even tried a Yoga class with a friend! I plan on also trying a Zumba class as well as Aqua Cardio and maybe even a spinning class! I actually want to go to the gym everyday--shocker! I'm sure my motivated will waver eventually, but until then I plan on diving head first in!
So, here's my meaurments after my initial 6 weeks of my vegan lifestyle change :)
