Hey Everyone!
Today, I want to share with you something I've decided to do for my health and to re-start my taste buds.
I'm committing to a 7 day smoothie challenge, a 100% vegan diet cleanse, something I've needed for AWHILE!
I will be making fruit smoothies, green smoothies and fresh salads with dairy-free, vegan dressings. For breakfast, I'll have a smoothie and whenever I feel like it, basically ;) I don't believe in deprivation.... that's not me. For lunch and dinner, I'm planning on having a large salad with my favorite ingredients. I will share these with you along the way =)
Why am I doing this?
There are so many reasons why I want to do this. Besides health and wellness, I want to take the first step towards becoming a vegan. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years but stopped for the last 2 years. Another reason... my diet needs a restart badly. I have been off in a bad direction for the past month or so and it's time to get back on track.
I just got married to and at this rate of overindulgence and bad eating choices, I'll be unrecognizable by our 1 year anniversary (LOL, exaggerating a bit!).
But I also care about animals...
That's why I went vegetarian for 10 years. No, I was not vegan - I wasn't ready for the commitment. But I think I'm ready to plan a future in the vegan lifestyle. This is just step #1!
Well guys, I'm going to need your support! My new hubby is a meat, potato, cheese, bacon, sweets super-fan. So, temptation is all around me. But you know what? There are lots of vegans and people here who are on a journey of their own, and I know I can do it with all of you together.
Thank you for your support :)
