day 4 
I'm kinda weepy today. I think part of it is PMS, but there's some other stuff going on as well.
For the first time since I gave up coffee, I am feeling a bit sluggish. I think it's mostly mood inspired.
Otherwise, I've felt really good since I've been eating vegan. I don't mind salads as long as I have some salsa to put on them, and of the three vegan dinners this week, two were really good.
Last night, my sweetie made me a soup with carrot juice, beans and a can of bean soup. It ended up being way too rich for me. It's sorta startling to say that, as I am one of those people whose doesn't know when to say when. Nothing was too rich.
I ate some celery today to see if I still hate it. I think it's moved into the dislike category, rather than hate.
I'd be fine alternating the two dinner meals but I know that isn't going to fly with my sweetheart. He's totally been supportive, so I don't want to see how I can test him, you know?
By and large, I'm not having cravings. I am missing going out to eat so so much, but I'm not craving cheese, and I would have thought that I might. Though the thought of some Bearnaise sauce with frites and a nice steak does sound really good. (Maybe watching Nigella Bites this morning was a bad idea?)

I've tried something new the last couple of days: cycling in the clothes I plan to wear to work. Sometimes I get freaked out about getting too sweaty, and needing to shower, etc. The last couple days, I decided I would ride leisurely, and I've gotten to work in almost as little time, and I've felt okay about the whole thing. Last night I decided I would be leisurely on the way home as well, and it definitely did take longer, but I didn't feel quite as exhausted as usual post-ride-home. And a good thing too.
