A week in the life...

         Hi all! I thought it might be interesting for some of you to see what I eat on a weekly + basis. I'm all about balance. I do what I want! I make sure I eat greens almost every day and avoid processed foods as much as possible. I haven't had fast food or soda in years, and have been strictly vegan for a little over a year and a half. I love it so much. It's saved me. That and yoga helped me take control of my health, rid my body of sluggish feelings and clear my mind. I'd love to answer any questions anyone may have of my journey. Feel free to comment below! Below is my past 9 days of eating.
