SO…I have made the decision to go VEGAN. Several factors influenced that: 1 being my love of animals. (For crying out loud as I write this I have a gash in my hand from saving a turtle I ran UP an interstate ramp and into oncoming traffic to save from a certain death…some payback! He swiped my hand and tried to escape!) 2-being the environment. Well, there are so many posts lately showing (ref: theGuardian.co.uk & articles I read constantly via PETA and PCRM.) THEN there is the health issue. I want to be THE healthiest I can because I want to honor God and honor what He has given me. So this is technically day 3. So far I have noticed 2 major things: I feel a lot less bloated and I am generally not as ‘hungry.’ I think a lot of our hunger is misguided looking for water or just boredom. But I am on the journey…excited and going to discuss it more a bit as I journey along. The highs and lows will be chronicled and of course I shall try to be more ‘daily’ about it. But nonetheless, VEGAN Marti, here I am!
