Post-Vegan Challenge

Well, the reason I haven't posted for a few weeks is because I've gone back to my old ways :( however, I'm massively regretting it. I feel bloated and sluggish again and I really need to accept the fact that if I can't control how much of the bad stuff I eat, or realise that a half pound burger is not going to make me feel good then I should stop eating meat and dairy so my only options are healthy options. Which means, it's back to veganism! Ok, maybe not quite yet as it's just over a week until Christmas. But at least for the next few days I'm going to steer away from the meat and cheese!

I might try some different recipes this week just so I have something worth showing you!

30 Day Vegan Challenge...Complete!

So, it's done!
Can't quite believe I managed 30 days of no meat, cheese or eggs. (Bar a couple of slip-ups, but I'm stil proud of myself!)

This weekend I definitely indulged in meat and cheese but feeling worse for it. Eating meat after 30 days of not doing so made me feel so heavy and I will most definitely eat a lot less meat than I used to.

So as it's Monday and it's a new week I'm back on go healthy go! I think I'll continue the way I was over the 30 days but just Monday - Friday and try not to over-indulge at the weekends.

I'll be having cereal for breakfast, I need to make this a habit, and eating once every 3 hours to avoid the bloating and sluggishness. These are two of the biggest lessons I learnt over the 30 days.

I won't be blogging every day but keep following my blog because I'll upload tasty, healthy, and low-cost recipes a few times a week :)

Tonight will be a sausage casserole because I got some free sausages and bacon from work, they were going in the bin and I can't let that kind of waste happen when some people (like myself) can't afford these luxuries! 

A big thank you to the readers of my blog, to the members of the Animal Aid vegan challenge facebook group, and to Animal Aid for promoting my blog.
