About 6 months ago, I went vegan for a few months. I was pretty nervous about eating no-animal products but gave it a try anyway. The fist week was pretty challenging. I loved it because it really made me think about what I was eating and how to make sure it was balanced. Animal products have most of our proteins so you really have to make sure you are eating enough. My husband even agreed to join me, although, I think he snuck meat when I wasn't around.
I really loved how I felt. I was eating a lot more vegetables, fruit, and beans. Then I spent a month at home with my family, and my vegan ways were gone (my family loves meat). And although, I am not eating a vegan diet anymore, I really enjoyed how it helped me view food. At home, I eat so much more healthily. I had to learn to like more vegetables and really enjoy natural flavorings.
Since the end of my vegan journey, I have been craving hamburgers. Which is weird for me because I have never really enjoyed burgers before. I used to be a chicken-nugget kind of girl. Now, anytime I see a burger on the menu, I order it.
This weekend, as we drove by Five Guy Burger, Mike asked if I wanted some for lunch. I was so excited by this because he doesn't really like five guys (he claims it is too greasy). I was beyond happy that he took me to this delicious burger joint. I ever ate the whole burger, which I regretted afterwards.

On a side-note, I found a piano teacher to start lessons with. I can't wait to get back into my piano studies. She is such a talented pianist and plays at our church a lot. And, my dad and brother are visiting next week. I can't wait to show David the local hot dog place. He loves hot dogs and I know he will LOVE this place. Can't wait to see you family. SOOOO EXCITED!!!
