7 Day Vegan – Day Six

I’ve got my first vegan race tomorrow.  The race itself isn’t vegan but it will be the first race that I have competed in since being a vegan.  It’s the Auburn Triathlon and I’ll just be doing the 10k run leg of the relay.  My training this week has felt fine.  I haven’t had anyContinue reading “7 Day Vegan – Day Six”

7 Day Vegan – Day Five

When I signed up for the #7DayVegan challenge, I clicked a box that said something like “Send me an email everyday to check in.” I love getting email so this seemed like a good idea.

7 Day Vegan – Day One

My family and I have been vegetarians for the past 3 and a half years.  The transition from meat to meatless was easier than I expected.  We eat most of the same meals that we used to (stir fry, pizza, enchiladas, chili, soup, sandwiches, salads, cereals, egg dishes, tacos and burritos, etc.) just without theContinue reading “7 Day Vegan – Day One”
