The Whole Wheat

Plant Month is officially underway!  Yesterday started off really nicely with grocery runs, auto accident, and family party.  Oh wait – the car accident had nothing to do with Plant Month, did it?  Only that it was when leaving Whole Foods with groceries that I swiped the side of the car along a corner.  Sadly the corner won.

This small incident flattened my mood and excitement a bit – although of course it had no relation to the change in my diet.   I made a big salad for lunch and then had a fantastic vegetable salad & delicious fruit salad at the family party I went to.  Followed by some of the Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies I made of course!

My initial impression of Plant Month is that while challenging, this is going to be a great experience!  It really makes me recall my vegetarian days in college – very interesting.  One of my good friends is also participating – she decided that she will include honey in her diet but is working to exclude every other animal food product.  Brad is iffy on participation, but besides the meat, cheese, and milk – he seems to be on board.
