Evidently, being a Vegan means waking up with a headache.
I got drunk on hard apple cider last night. I had a hangover before I went to bed last night. I drank a ton of water and took ibuprofen before my head hit the pillow, but it didn't matter. I was sunk.
I blame being a Vegan.
I mean, it's really not the fault of Veganism that I have a hangover. I've been accidentally Vegan for a longer period of time without developing a hangover. (Accidentally Vegan means Vegan without knowing it. Everyone is Vegan while sleeping...)
I have been Vegan now for 13 hours and 22 minutes and certain things are starting to come to light. Today is the first time I realized that this self-imposed lifestyle comes at a tremendous price when it comes to certain things.
All of these restrictions will make this more difficult, but will also make the whole thing worth while. Mark Rosewater, Head Designer of Magic the Gathering, loves to say how complications or restrictions force people to be creative. I will have to be creative when I walk into my kitchen for the first time since becoming a Vegan in about an hour when my tummy gets rumbly.

I did some minor bio-metric measurements this morning when I woke up, for my lovely wife Rebekah. She's asked me to keep track of this type of info for her sake. As I said, I am not in this for the health aspect of it. I'm in it for the lifestyle experience. If my health should improve or change in any way, we're going to capture it. She has her own blog about her struggles and triumphs with weight loss which you can view Here. Cheers!
The Sad Bits... Doritos are made with dairy. :(

- Vegan's do not have the choices that normal people have. (Yes, that was a slightly veiled slam on Vegans... )
- Everything has meat or eggs or dairy in it. Often times, all three. (I'm looking at you Chicken and Waffles)
- Almost everything I drank before today had caffeine in it. (Even my designer water, H2-OHHHHHGOD!)
- I did a lot of mindless eating. (Damn Adam, no one knew that. I know this is not much of a shock.)
