DAY 1: I miss you, Cheese.

I have already kinda been vegan for about a week now.... but the pressure is on because day is officially day 1 of 40. I usually don't do so well with restrictions....

So far my biggest challenge has been finding things to eat! I wandered around PCC for about 20 minutes, looking a labels. After a journey around the store, I settled on the same sandwich I had yesterday. I'm guessing there won't be too much variety in what I'll be eating.

I feel like I have a little bit more energy....

I feel really thin too!

However, I have had some strange pain in my neck, arms and legs. A quick google search proved that this is pretty normal and that I should expect my body to change a lot....

until tomorrow.

VEGAN. for the next 40 days....

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the begining of a longggg forty days where most of us (sometimes) devout Catholics give it up: something we love.

I have been a vegetarian for 3 years now but even when I eat eggs, fish, cheese..... something inside me doesn't feel right.

If my reasons for being a vegetarian are wanting to eliminate animal cruelty, how can I continue to enjoy animal products?

So here I go. Join me for the 40 days as I give up animal products, cook vegan food, complain a little bit and hopefully learn a lot.
