9.3.11

We're brought up thinking that there's a right way and a wrong way to do everything.  I think it's part habit, but it's also part time management.  The truth is, we can only feasibly follow one path at a time (if the metaphor stands).

This education comes at a cost.  Evaluative and critical thinking skills aren't needed until we begin to question that "holy grail" of a right way that we were presented.

This being said, there are multiple right ways to do vegan depending on one's tastes, goals and banner waving.

Today, I did it a bit wrong....

Breakfast:
arroz con coco
coffee

Lunch:
Water
Tempeh

Dinner:
Garden salad with oil and vinegar
Sweet potato fries dipped in honey.

Where did I go wrong?
I had last minute plan changes yesterday afternoon... That's why lunch was just the tempeh mix.  I was smart to eat that before we left though, because we wound up at a diner for dinner and I ordered the only two vegan things on the menu.
The fries were deep fried.  They were nothing spectacular, but by that time I was so hungry I scarfed most of them.
The fat content was off for today.  I need to be cognizant of the fact that no matter whether or not I'm partaking of animal, deep frying things isn't going to help me.
