Day Seven: Energy

Reminder: I write these posts after midnight generally, so don't pay attention to the date stamp. Day Seven is Tuesday the 23rd.

FMT: Toast with humus, cucumber, red pepper, spinach.

DVF: Searching for vegan facts online is obnoxious.

I would definitely have to say that my energy level is up as compared to before Ash Wednesday.  I have been sleeping very little due to an unbelievably busy schedule that I won't bore you with (but everything is going quite well school/job search wise, praise God). Yet despite getting less sleep, I feel more awake/alive during the day.  I think I've been cheerier and been drinking less coffee. My caffeine consumption is one shot espresso with the protein shakes some mornings and occasionally a black tea during the day.  For night class Wednesday, I'll probably have another cup of coffee.

Summary: Great energy level, great digestive system health, happy Pete.

I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow (if I have time to get to the gym/pool) and see if I've lost weight from Wednesday to Wednesday. Although I haven't exercised much, just daily stretching and I ran two miles last Thursday.

It's also interesting to monitor my interest in greasy foods that ARE vegan. Like potato chips, french fries, and hash-browns.  If I'm hungry, they sound really good, I love salt and those foods are most similar to the food everyone around me is eating.  When I'm not explicitly hungry, I think of them as greasy/disgusting. I'm expecting the greasy mindset to continue developing as I go.
