Yeah this mornign I realized I had been joking with Robbles about keeping Osha barefoot and in the kitchen. I think I said something like "We have it all worked out, she does the dishes I pay the bills..." All I can think this morning is how Robbles is gonna misconstrue that whole conversation and totally piss off Osha. I bet she didn't get the joke. Fuck those people.
Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of the Borders crew anymore. But you knew that. They are nice people, but kinda wrapped up in thmeselves and elitist. I dunno.
i'm going to cover my bases and respond with: everything you would normally eat if you were an omni, with the exception of meat. Vitamin B12 is the only thing you should pay some attention to; however, it is found in meat, dairy and eggs, so if you are still eating dairy and eggs you should be fine. Personally, I think everyone should take a B12 supplement from time to time, veg*n or not, as deficiency effects the nervous system (think alzheimer's). Lots of soy foods and soy milks are fortified with B12, so it probably won't be an issue for you, anyway. Lots of greens and veggies for iron, folic acid, and calcium. Beans, nuts, legumes and tofu for protein. Make sure you are eating enough, too! Try new things, have lots of variety in your diet.
My #1 favourite veggie book ever is Becoming Vegetarian by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina. It is totally worth the buy, I highly recommend it! (check out the paperback used link on that page - it's selling for $2.62. I didn't know there was a hardcover copy, but the paperback copy is sturdy and at almost 3 bux..jeepers!) One of the reviews says that it is a bit more detailed than one would expect, and I agree with that; but, being a science student, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to read something of that calibre where vegetarianism was concerned. It saved me the trouble of looking like the veg*n jerk that asks all the veg*n-diet related questions in cell bio class and wastes everybody else's time.. It's got tonnes of info about what to eat to get which vitamins and minerals. Otherwise, try reading up on vegansociety.com or ask me if you have a specific q.
Personally, I do it because I'm afraid of being hurt. People are often not the most thoughtful creatures, myself included of course.
Yoga isn't necessarily hard, but you can make it as difficult as you want. My beginner class, I'm happy to say I'm not the least flexible, which makes me happy. I can do all the poses, but they're pretty ridiculous-looking at the moment, since I'm so stiff.
