So...for lent I decided I was going to take on a big task. I am going VEGAN! And I am attempting to blog my adventures as often as possible (my goal is everyday, but lets be honest, I know that's not happening..who knows maybe this will be my first and last post..)
Why am I going Vegan? Who knows...maybe cause I'm crazy. But part of the reason is my boyfriend started doing it and lost weight and seems healthy, and as most anybody I want to lose weight and eat truly healthy. Also, I am not doing this because I feel bad for animals. For the vegans that do, that I totally awesome and I respect that, but when people ask me why I am doing it I give them the snide comment..."I'm not doing it because I like animals, I'm doing it because i HATE PLANTS!" --- get it?? Pretty funny eh?
Back to seriousness.... I also want something to challenge myself this Lenten season. I have given up sweets, desserts, junk food, pickles, and pop in the last few years and have been successful so I want to move on to a different challenge.
The good thing is I am not doing this alone. Of course my boyfriend is still vegan (for the time being), but my friend and awesome roommate Allie is doing it do.
Anyways, so I was home this weekend and I told my family about going Vegan for Lent. Needless to say, most of them don't think I can do it. Luckily my sister is awesome and is proud of me...but I got a lot of questions from my family, including from my little brother. I was prepared though and proved to them that I knew what I was going and how to do it right. It seemed that my brother's main concern was that I would be getting enough Riboflavins.....!!!!!! What the heck is a Riboflavin and how am I supposed to know if I'm normally getting enough of them??!?!?!
Well tomorrow is Fat Tuesday and am definitely planning to load up on as much meat and dairy as possible...starting off tomorrow with about 5 slices of turkey bacon (I mean I have to use it all up tomorrow...I can't let is go to waste!) and then finishing off the day with a roommate date night to Boulevard Haus for some thing delicious like a big Reuben Sandwich and some fattening dessert. Now off to bed to dreams of meat dancing through my head.
See you tomorrow....if I can remember that I am actually attempting to do a blog here.
