Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Day 2 - SPP Cleanse

So far so good!  I feel healthy and in control.  However, I can already see my social calendar dissipating, but I'm trying to appreciate the quiet times.  I'm just not as fun during the cleanse.
You want me to meet you for drinks?  Sure, I'll have water with lemon.
You want me to join your group for brunch? Sure, I'll have a bowl of fruit.
You're having a Valentine's Day party? Sure, I'll come and bring - guacamole with veggies for dipping.
Let's meet up for dinner after work? Sure, but does the place have brown rice? Were the veggies sauteed in butter? Actually, I really shouldn't since I'm supposed to be drinking a fruit/veggie smoothie for dinner...

See? I'm a hoot!  (I hope it's worth it!)

Eating Journal:
-smoothie (apple, carrot, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, spinach, kiwi, flaxseed oil)
-sauteed Brussels sprouts, salad
-braised kale and shallots
-nori snack
-same smoothie
-brown rice with nori strips and wasabi (My energy started crashing around 4p, and my eyelids felt so heavy that I had to make brown rice for some protein.)

    The important thing is that you're flexible and make it work :)
