Day 5: I'm Not A Vegan

"I'm going to live a whole food, plant-based, wheat free lifestyle...no, I'm not a vegan."

Monique C. Seidler, whole food, plant-based lifestyle

Today I was faced with a common thought. I'm not a vegan. I am not living plant-based to "save the animals" or to become an animal activist. I simply want to be as healthy as I can for as long as possible for myself and my family.

Day 5 went great! My kids spent the morning learning and excelling at their unschooling, considering we were indoors due to rain. I did my workout and realized my left calf feels like it has a permanent kink in it, and then spent the afternoon filming and editing our current YouTube video for 4 Nuts In A Shell.

Last night I finally caught up on all of my work, and two days ago a very generous woman from the town we are in drove to the city and picked up a teasing comb for me so I can give myself dreadlocks again (I'm very excited for this!).

I realized this morning that I haven't really struggled at all with what I have set out to do. I feel more alert, emotionally and physically stronger, and all around better with each passing day. Weighing myself this morning told me I gained two pounds of muscle in the last five days as well, which thrilled me.

There was one brief occurrence today when my husband got back from grocery shopping and I saw the hamburgers, buns, and muffins and felt sad, but it passed quickly when I reminded myself that I was connecting that food to experiences, and not to a true want.

I believe food should be consumed with purpose in mind. If it has no purpose, why eat it?
