So, I've realized that I have been a successful vegetarian for a little over 7 months now! I can not believe it has been that long! Not gonna lie, I'm very proud of myself, but the transition wasn't hard at all. You'd be amazed at how easy it is to just turn down meat. Since day one I never had a major craving or need for meat. Sure, I'd occasionally miss eating german sausages with my dad and things like that, but there are so many meat-free alternatives that I am always satisfied. For example, for dinner tonight, I had meat free "buffalo wings". How amazing is that?
I've done a lot of thinking about my lifestyle, and figured it's about time I stop making excuses and start making adjustments. And yes, I realize that I've probably said something like this a million times, but as always, I'll do my best to stick with it this time. I have really random OCD. Whenever I attempt a lifestyle change, I always prefer to do so at either the beginning of the month or the beginning of a week. And June 1st just so happens to be a Sunday, which means it is both the beginning of the month AND week, yay me! So here's the new plan:
I will become a vegan! It's about time I step up my diet to be completely animal free. Yes, that means no diary and no eggs, but there are so many substitutes that I am positive I will be able to survive. Next: the exercise plan...DUN DUN DUN.
Sunday: Yoga in the morning! Sundays have always been used as a day of relaxation so I figured it would be the perfect day to rest and collect myself.
Monday: 3 mile run in the evening during school, but when summer vacation starts I'll do this in the morning. Then an hour of weight training, I really need to tone my muscles. And core, which will consist of a bunch of ab exercises to get that tummy flatter.
Tuesday: 3 mile run, gymnastics.
Wednesdays: 3 mile run, weight training, core.
Thursdays: 3 mile run, and stretching until I convince some parent to pay for an extra gymnastics class.
Friday: 3 mile run, weight training, core.
Saturday: 3 mile run.
In case you didn't catch the pattern, I'll be running 3 miles everyday. For now at least, hopefully after a month of solid training I can begin increasing the mileage and intensify the lifting or something. We'll see if I can stick with this! I can't wait to get started x)

Congrats! I've been a vegetarian for over fours years and I've never missed meat once. Good luck going forward. Veganism is definitely a big step but totally worth it if you can commit.
wow congrats i've been a vegetarian for 8 years and i cant imagine eating meat
Wow vegan is way to intense for me. Im basically a vegetarian.. I eat meat every once and awhile but I just get really grossed out by it! But I definitely dont think I could become vegan, I love my cheese and yogurt, and life without butter in things? Ah it takes commitment thats for sure lol, I hope it works out for you though!
