Hello Awesome Biotches! Well I thought I would give you an update to my daily eating regime as I have successfully completed my 2nd vegan weekend. Still going strong and feeling full of fiber! 3 things to note:
1. I am drinking BLACK coffee- what the f*** is going on?! A month ago this would have been crazy talk. As in, “admit me now, I’m a genuine crazy bitch” talk. Now…it’s my reality. Holy shit!
2. I am getting significantly fuller faster, therefore eating less- a nice bonus for not supporting the industry of factory farming. However, the below material may look like I’m still pigging out.
3. I will never buy wool again, and you shouldn’t either. Research it people, it’s out of this world awful. I’d be happy to post some information if anyone is interested.
Tomorrow night I am excited (and anxious) to finally sit down and watch the film Earthlings. I’ve been avoiding it, much like I’ve been avoiding making this drastic diet change, but it’s an experience I need to have and I’m sure will motivate me to continue my lifestyle choice. Our good friend Chris Wray will be joining us and hopefully bringing along some of his delicious non dairy banana ice cream!
This is the run down on what I’ve eaten the last few days. I’ve been documenting it with detail so I can accurately share it with you, for those of you that are venturing through this with me.
Here goes!

1 apple
2 cups black coffee
Black bean chipotle garden burger on a whole wheat pita pocket w/Annie’s BBQ sauce (yum yum!)

See how much I eat! It’s ridiculous! I’m very satisfied, and feeling great about my choices.
I’ve also been more regularly going to the gym, which I loathe, but it feels like a natural process. While my veganism isn’t necessarily a total health focus, it’s definitely a large part of living a fuller and more wholesome lifestyle. Ok! That’s it!
Love and peace bitches. Lisa’s blog out.
