I began a 30 day vegan challenge inspired by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's book of the same name on 12/26/14. I have been a vegetarian for at least 15 years. When I say vegetarian, I mean no animal flesh- no beef, pork, chicken, lamb, veal, and no fish or seafood- essentially any sentient being with eyes. I want to take the next step; no dairy, eggs, honey- no animal products of any kind.
The only blogging I have ever done before is surrounding a trip to Australia in 2011. While that was certainly a journey, I felt that I wanted to chronicle a journey of another kind. Probably nobody will read this or care, but I want to make it clear- I am not doing this to preach. I am not about judgement. Everyone has their own journey and I just want to document my own, mainly for reflection. Where did I start and where did I end up and more importantly how did I get there?
Day 1- Yesterday was kind of a bummer, I was dealing with exhaustion from the holidays, another holiday without my Mom, exhaustion because of work, school, and caring for my furry friends. There wasn't much food in the house (which is definitely not a smart idea)and I didn't feel like shopping. I ate bread and pasta, dried cranberries, vegan Luna bars, and a banana and almond milk/almond butter smoothie. It was fine, but I will be shopping today. I know that my body needs greens. Off to make my shopping list...to be continued...
