Back on track

Hey guys, I'm Paula Julia and I recently went vegan. This blog is about my journey to a healthy lifestyle. xx

Becoming vegan

What’s up, people! I’m back with another post about veganism. Did you actually now that I’ve been vegan since the world vegan day? That’s funny. It’s been more than a month and it’s going well. I can’t believe it! 

I was watching Madeleine Olivia’s vegan story and thought it wouldn’t influence me. The week after that I continued watching documentaries like 101 reasons to go vegan and The best speech by Gary Yourofsky and I just stopped eating meat. I did make a few mistakes and one time I just couldn’t resist, but I’m trying not to be too hard on myself, because I know that this is a process and eating less animal product is already helping. I’m in this for the long run (my boyfriend is not happy..) and I want to make it right. So I’m currently trying out a lot of recipes and have found some that I really like. Also I’m trying to veganize some of my favourite foods but unfortunately, there is no good alternative for vegan pizza here in germany. I’m sure I will figure something out. The last few days I’ve noticed that my energy levels are going up. Especially in the evening, while my boyfriend likes to fall asleep in front of the TV, I can’t even think of sleeping. I have to find an outlet, because I’m currently not running. I don’t feel comfortable running in the early hours of the day when it is so dark outside. I’m just too scared and I know why (too many things have happened..) so maybe I’ll have to start yoga again. At least during winter. Have a good day xxx

Changes I’ve made since turning vegan

- I eat a lot more carbs (I’ve previously tried to avoid them but now I don’t care if I eat french fries in the evening)

- I have eaten a lot more junk food, but I’m trying to eat more healthily 

- and that’s why I buy lots of vegetables and fruits

- I’ve tried to eat tofu but gosh, I  don’t like it. 

- I am looking up a lot new recipes

- I don’t worry about weight loss or weight gain and funnily enough, I am finally losing weight again

I’m pretty interested in eating a lot of bread

I never thought I would make such a decision, but without even noticing it my diet has changed in the past years. I don't want to continue consuming animal products. I never liked eggs, but I love dairy products. It is a big change for me to go vegan, but I know it's the right thing for me to do. It's not going to be easy, but I will try my best to avoid meat etc from now on. It's definitely a process and I'm not ready yet to tell my family. My boyfriend knows about it and he thinks I won't pull through, but he'll see, I'm not going back.

Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone - and finding that that’s ok with them.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” - Matthew 19:26

As a runner, you have to face the truth about yourself on a regular basis, and it makes you more honest. You can’t pretend to be faster than you are. You can’t pretend that you are better prepared than you are. You cannot pretend to be a runner, you actually have to run.
