My energy level is shot. By 2PM each day, my arms are so heavy that I can barely lift them enough to reach the keyboard, let alone strike the keys with my fingers. Instead, I have to use the mouse to highlight specific letters in text, and then copy and paste the letters into something that looks more like a ransom note than a powerpoint presentation. My muscles are rapidly deteriorating as well. I could barely make it up and down the basketball court on Monday night, and had to pull myself from the game on a number of occasions as my legs felt like jello. My back is so tweaked, that I can barely make it out of bed in the morning. I honestly thought about relieving myself at my desk today, because I couldn't bare the pain of walking down hall to use the bathroom. My body is screaming out for animal protein, but I'm too stubborn to listen. Damn this cursed bet!
Yet despite the pain, I shan't go gently into the night. My hectic work schedule this week has kept me from picking up more vegan entrees, but I was able to assemble a vegan-tastic dinner. How do you end an otherwise dismal day with an animal safe smile? Take one part Tater Tot, one part Zatarain's Beans & Rice, smother with vegetarian chili, and enjoy. Oh, and a bottle of vegan wine doesn't hurt.
Day 16
* Coffee
* Leftover General Tso'
* Potato Chips
* Couple of slices of Beer Bread
* Leftover Pasta Salad
Day 17
* Coffee
* Dr McDougall's Vegan Chicken Soup
* Pasta salad (finished it off)
* Vegan Cupcake(s)
Day 18
* Coffee
* Sun Chips (original flavor) and an apple
* Potato Chips
* Tater Tot / Beans & Rice / Veggie Chili concoction (actually one of the bright spots for the week)
So that's it...another week has almost come and gone, and while I'm not happy, I am still a vegan.
