I have completed my Vegan Challenge... and I am excited to say that health wise I feel great. No longer do I have the afternoon slump happening, I have more energy and I am more alert than I have ever been. So, throughout this whole challenge, I have continued to cook grass fed beef and free range chickens to my family... I have heard to Mmmmms and Yummys since we switched to the more healthier animals. I have not eaten any throughout my challenge; however, I did a couple of days ago since my challenge finished. 

I cooked Adobo seasoned Chicken cutlets with lemon juice and pepper with a side of mashed potatoes and spinach salad with feta.... When I tasted a piece of that chicken, I enjoyed the flavor of it but not the chicken piece. It was then I realized that I no longer can enjoy meat or chicken as I once did. Maybe, one day I will... Thanksgiving is coming up....unsure if I will try it. I am okay with it.....being a big chicken lover....Im okay with it!! I guess. 

Oh well, this transition in my life was truly an adventure... I did not think I could do it, but I did. I have made new recipes, learned how to deal with self control and patience... Definitely patience... I am excited to continue this walk as being a Vegetarian. Although, I am a full fledged Vegan now, I still cook for my family the healthy meats and chicken. I am not anti meat or chicken.... For my health, i chose veggies and fruits.... However, I might just enjoy a piece a time or two. I never know when I will be in the mood for some. Lets hope..

As we approach Thanksgiving... I want to remind myself and others to truly count the blessings in your life. Step back and think of the times, you should of been in a different place, but You have been carried through the situation. Remember, your health, your children, your love for life, and Remember that God is the reason you are alive on this day. It is Him that is the giver of Life and He wants you to know that He loves you. Continue your walk with Jesus and you will know the truth of your purpose.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless your family this Thanksgiving and days to come..

Your Organic Girly,
