Shannon: Crappy foods make me feel like... CRAP!

I'm only a week into my journey and my body has adjusted to the point that it craves only healthy, unprocessed, plant based material. When I drink wine or beer or eat pretzels or chips, I feel horrible. After only one glass of wine, I wake up feeling hungover the next morning and for those of you who know me well, I love my wine and can definitely drink more than one glass and wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed the next morning ;)

I went on a bit of a zumba bender the last few days... Did the equivalent of 5 classes in three days. I was concerned that my new diet wouldn't hold up with strenuous activity. I was pleasantly surprised to have TONS of energy. Last night I effortlessly ran a mile prior to an hour of zumba. Piece of cake... vegan cake that is ;)

Here is my awesome lunch I've been having everyday - Baby greens, cucumber, carrot, radish, soy beans, tomato, wild rice, almond slivers, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
