It's Friday [thank the sweet baby Jesus] and the weekend is just a few short hours away. I usually start my Fridays in a great mood [b/c it's fucking Friday] however, today started off kinda yucky.
Why? I slipped up last night and ordered a veggie flatbread pizza with mushrooms, spinach, red onion, balsamic drizzle, annnnnnnnnnnnnnd cheese. Sad face.
In retrospect, I should have asked for "no cheese" but I broke the cardinal rule of eating. I waited too long between meals, and I was ravenous. Insane with hunger. I couldn't bother to make a vegan choice. Or give a flying fuck about what was going on with anything. I needed sustenance and for the sake of everyone's well-being, I needed it immediately. I was two seconds away from snatching a child and roasting it.
Just kidding. Sort of.
The pizza was bangarang, by the way. It would have been delicious without cheese, but again...raging hunger took over. I didn't even take a picture because 1) it wasn't on the plate long enough and 2) I don't have a laproscopic camera. You see the predicament, I'm sure.
I'm only slightly ashamed. We're all human, right? We can't beat ourselves up for momentary indiscretions [unless you're Kristen Stewart. You should beat yourself up].
Thankfully, I'm not Kristen Stewart and so there's no need to beat myself up over some mozzarella cheese.
I'm going strong and feeling awesome with the meatless approach to life. That's been a party compared to how much I miss dairy. I know it will get easier but uuuuuuuuughhhhhhhh. Going out to eat is the hardest because the temptation is so much worse! Also this area doesn't cater to vegans. Sure, there are tons of vegetarian options on the menu but all of them have some kind of dairy whether it's cheese, cream, milk, etc. Needless to say, it's challenging in that respect but most places are happy to accommodate your dietary needs. I mean, shit, they want your business so they better accommodate!
As a side note, I haven't done much cooking this week. I've made a lot of salads with various veggies and a lot of smoothies. There was some quinoa and sauteed veggies thrown in there, too. I'm trying to get as much variety as possible because we all know that variety is the spice of life, and this little girl needs to change it up before boredom sets in. I'm sure you all agree that when it comes to lifestyle changes, if you get in a slump, you tend to give up.
Which is why the change in weather is super exciting! It means new foods and new recipes! Hello pumpkin, my old friend. I'm going to eat you and your family.
