Day 17:

Hello everyone!! How’s your day going?
For some reason I feel very sick today :( sore throat, stuffy nose and nausea!! Not sure why but I hope it goes away soon because I have work in 2 hours.
So I have been vegan for 27 days and today something odd happened!! When I first began being vegan, I would spend a lot of my time thinking something along the line of “what can I eat that is vegan?” whether I was at my house or somewhere public. Now that almost a month has gone by I’ve gotten into a sort of routine where I know what is vegan and what is not so that every tine I pick something up I don’t really need to check the ingredients. Because of this I’ve stopped consistently reminding myself to be vegan (I know it sounds odd, but being fairly new sometimes I forget hahah). Anyways, this morning I woke up started making myself some oatmeal, and realized that I had put whole milk in it without even noticing. Luckily I didn’t actually eat any of it, and just gave it to my brother :)
Anyways, this suprised me because it shows how easy it is to slip up while trying to be vegan!! Whether you’re unknowingly buying “soy” cheese that actually has casien(milk protein) in it or you just sort of forget, it’s very common to have trouble sticking to this diet. Anyways I promise to be more aware of what I am eating in the future.
Have a great day!!
