Day 91 - bring on the fresh

The 3-month mark of my quest came and was gone. In some ways it seems such a along time, in other ways it's just the beginning.

My meat cravings have long disappeared, sometimes a fried turkey breast still smells nice, but most of the time it just repels me, esp. fatty burgers. I still have some issues with canned tuna, though, and have not completely given it up. Besides the occasional eggs, that's all of animal products that I consume.

With hotter days and fresh organic produce available I'm moving towards raw. I've been eating so many salads, I'm surprised it's not growing out of my ears yet. You'd think it would help in losing weight and it just doesn't.

My mom's organic lettuce (have some pounds of it), young organic carrots, red bell pepper (not organic) and canned corn. I just adore this combination. Shortly I'll be adding freshly picked organic cucumbers straight from my own balcony. I've had a plant growing last year already and it kept giving fruit as late as in October! This year, I have 2 plants! And I also have a pot of strawberries growing :) I should take a picture of that, the balcony garden, I mean.

And cherries. So many cherries. All organic without a hint of pesticides, picked from my aunt's trees (so I am 100% sure they are purely organic). I have an issue with worms, though. Organic cherries are a delight not only for humans, but for worms as well, though it should be safe this early in season. I do not check to make sure (you should NEVER check the inside of a cherry!), but I hope this doesn't worsen my (almost) vegan score.

I'll be trying a cherry smoothie today, but other than that I just eat them plain raw. It's seems like such a waste even thinking about consuming them in any other form.

I've also had a first bite of my beloved peaches (nectarines in this matter) and, although they were good, it's just not it yet. I'll wait a couple more weeks. And I'll be trying the first of watermelons soon, as soon as I eliminate my cherry supply and find a watermelon that smells nice and looks edible. I'm quite sensible when it comes to watermelons.
