Today was a decent day for a Monday. My period started yesterday. I thought it was going to be much later like the two weeks in January, but it was only three days. It's weird how I can be so hormonal, sleepy, hungry, stabby in the days or weeks prior, then all of sudden it disappears when I start. This month I know I am going to start the progesterone cream on time. i'm not taking any chances or experimenting this month.
I went the grocery store and picked up some food. I got some fruits, vegetables, pasta, & beans. I am going to see if not eating tomatoes and potatoes will help feeling better with the aches and pains. Potatoes (not sweet potatoes though), tomatoes, and eggplant are from the nightshade family and are supposed to cause inflammation and should be eaten in moderation. Of course, most everything I like has tomatoes and potatoes in it. But, most every thing I like has dairy and eggs in it too and I'm dealing with that. So, I am going tomato and potato free for a bit to see if it makes a difference, then add them back in one-at-a-time.
My main problem and challenge with the vegan diet isn't necessarily going without the meat and all as much as the availability of vegan-friendly foods. It seems like almost everything contains milk/milk by-products or eggs/egg by-products. As far as processed foods go, that is. I am trying to eliminate them though, too. My system doesn't handle them as well as it used to. It's just taking a lot more planning and getting used to. It's not that it's difficult - just different.
