Why?

Why the vegan change?

I might have mentioned I've been reading a lot about how I can lose weight--yadda yadda yadda. And I'm sure I said something about high blood pressure. So all this reading (which, by the way, means 'browsing' to me) has led me to the not-so-new idea that eating solely plant-based foods will help me with both.

So, ok, I thought I'd give it a shot. And at the end of said shot, I'd reassess the sitch (so to speak). It's now day 3 and I'd really like a steak and eggs breakfast, please. The sitch is not going so well.

I take that back: Yesterday I have to admit I felt way less bloated than the day before. I think it's because I was just about finished with my period. (sorry, guys, I'll try to give more warning when I talk about stuff like that). Today with the bloating: not bad. On a scale of 1-5, about 3 (normal). Of course, I'm light years away from where I'd like to be, body-wise (Starting point: 169 lbs). Must start monitoring blood pressure as well.
