the vegan diaries

I think i am going to begin being vegan tomorrow, because I am currently unemployed.
What is that you say.... being unemployed should have nothing to do with your diet? Correct...being unemployed should have nothing to do with your diet; however, it has plenty to do with your frequency of blog posts.

Thus, I am re-initiating my veganism in order to have inspiration for my blog. I will blog for the next 30 days about my veganism (13th to 13th). I will not be blogging every day, nor will I blog only about veganism, but please expect random vegan anecdotes to make their way onto collecting snowmen in your freezer. Now being vegan is not a completely foreign idea for me. I was vegan for six months in 2007. That being said, even those who flirt with veganism have their weaknesses.

What are some other advantages of blogging about veganism? Well, firstly....you have something to keep you accountable to your diet. That thing would be type. When I was in Ecuador, I thought of going back to veganism when I returned to Canada. I then flirted with veganism, eating a mainly vegetarian diet. Then I flirted with vegetarianism, eating mainly a vegetarian diet sprinkled with the random meat product here and there. Sometimes that meat product would even be sausage, which would go against my muslim upbringing and introduce the pork and pig into my body...yuck! When did i think that was a good idea? Never....I feel like that is something I will not miss.

Let me take this opportunity to talk about things that I will miss.
1. Eggs (free-range, of course). If you have read recent blog posts or have lived with me since I have been back from Ecuador, you will realize that i LOVE eggs (free-range, of course). (Mind the emphasis.) (Mind the unnecessary use of brackets).
2. Honey Goat Cheese, because I bought some today. It was really good and I still have about 75% of it left.

So it seems that my main challenge is eggs; however, the REAL challenge is much simpler than that. The biggest challenge to my becoming vegan...is remembering. We will see how this goes. Everyone wish me luck!
