Day 17: And like sands through the hourglass ...

I can't just walk away.

Hi. My name's Blake and I've been a vegan for about 16+ days. I feel tired and fairly awful right now. Might be the first day the diet is actually catching up with me. That or working long hours on little sleep. About to go bed at the equivalent of 8:00 p.m. my time and wake up at 4:00 a.m. It's not going well so far, but I'll live. I have a pounding headache and my stomach feels as though it might implode. Oh well. C'est la vie.


On a positive note, tonight I had the best meal since turning vegan: tofu with Asian noodles, mushrooms, snap peas, and tomatoes (yes, dreaded tomatoes). Or maybe it was the wine. Could have been the wine. Either way, I'm numb and happyish right now. Better than last night. I'd love to write more, but I can't concentrate at all. This is the kind of day I must remind myself that a throbbing headache and an upset stomach pale in comparison to the daily tribulations of others.

Thanks for stopping by. Sorry I couldn't stay longer.

Instead, I'll leave you with this:

Something that I've noticed through your blogs...you get headaches and are hungry a lot. Hmmmm...just something to ponder. You doing any research as to the side effects of veganism? :) What is this actaully doing to your body?! That should be your homework...if it already hasn't been.
