warning...I could be a bit cranky this week

are you a vegan

or

a vegetarian

?

~~

i'm not

not even close

but

i might be someday

~~

have you seen the movie

food, inc.

~where you will never look at a cow or a chicken the way do now~

?

or

have you picked up the book

~the kind diet~

by

alicia silverstone

?

well together

those two things are going to change my life

well

maybe not my life

but

they're at least going to change what i put in my body

~~

i'm on day two of no processed sugar

~all that stuff that ends in "ose"

which will possibly make me cranky and jittery and forgetful and headachey

and

so far

I am not the raging lunatic i thought i might be

~~

new groceries in my pantry are foreign to me

brown rice syrup

~surprisingly good in my hot tea~

brown rice vinegar

brown rice

~a great substitute for the pasta in my dinner last night~

lots of organic

everything

including peanut butter which was pretty tasty this morning on my whole grain bread

~~

i have

vanilla flavored rice milk

~who knew there was even such a thing~

in my fridge

which was delicious on my organic cinnamon cereal

and

now i can't wait to try the pure almond milk calling my name

~~

and

lunch today

will be miso soup

~whatever that is~

with some edamame and rice crackers

~~

so in a few days from now i might be pulling my hair out and stomping my feet

while my body screams for a kit kat bar

and

a handful of m&m's and a golden oreo cookie

~part of my old diet~

or

i might just be feeling so great

that

i'll be dancing around the house wondering what took me so long

to be good to myself

~~

i'll be sure to let you know
