1 month anniversary of vegan-me!

Today marks the 1 month mark of being vegan.
I haven't been perfect: I'm pretty sure I consumed 2 fried eggs over the course of the month, and once when out I had to get a yogurt parfait (Starbucks is not the most vegan-friendly and I needed something substantial). At first I continued to have milk in my coffee from Timmy's, but now I just get it black.

Overall I feel good about how well I've done.
I've stuck to this for longer than any other crazy diet/lifestyle change that I've done before.
I know I will slip up occasionally, whether knowingly or unknowingly, and I'm okay with that.
It's the intention that's important.
Besides, it's about my health and well-being anyhow, not animal rights or anything. To me, that's just an added bonus.
I feel much cleaner on the inside now. Not so groggy feeling and definitely I am having less digestive issues.
I think I maybe farted 3 times in the entire month? ;) Seriously, you give me a slice of cheese on a sandwich and I am stinking up the room for 2 days. NOT COOL. Same deal for baked goods/junk food.
Eating clean is worth it if only for the reduction in embarrassing body functions.

I've also lost 7 lbs. WHOOT!

Dinner today = homemade veggie sushi

  1. That's awesome for you! I'm a pescatarian, for the sake of sushi, but I mostly eat vegan. I want to be 100% vegan, but it's so hard to give up cheese! I don't know how you do it!

  3. Congrats!!! :) You're going so well, I'm so glad you're already feeling the heath benefits. Loving your attitude to 'perfection' too- it's about the long haul and consistency over perfection. Keep up the great work hun xxx
