4 More Weeks!!!
March 7, 2010
On this Lenten journey, I have four more weeks and boy, do I feel like I’m already running out of steam. I think my lack of drive mostly has to do with the fact that I’ve been sick for over a week now. I have desperately needed a “sick day,” and unfortunately that’s not very realistic.
We have been eating out a bit more than normal, and surprisingly I have been able to stick to my vegan diet quite nicely. My parents are in town, therefore we tend to eat out more…it’s a WV thing.
Yesterday, out at the Pentagon City Mall, I had a salad from Salad Creations. It included tofu and Asian Sesame Vinaigrette. It was REALLY good.
Last night we ate at The Heights in our Columbia Heights neighborhood. They had a vegan dish – Grilled tofu and mixed vegetables with a tomato pesto sauce. It was AWESOME!
Nonetheless, the journey continues to be a challenge for me because this is such a drastic dietary change. However, I am eating things that I most likely would not have chosen to eat otherwise.
It’s stretching me…which is kind of the point, right?
