Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Taking off my training wheels

Halfway through this experiment, I'm starting to get the hang of this vegan thing!  It's just how I live now, and I don't have to think too hard or plan too much about what I'll eat next.  I have only eaten out a couple times, so I haven't been tested too much.  After these two months are over, I plan on sticking to the vegan diet as much as possible.  I will be practiced and educated enough to confidently continue this healthy lifestyle.

I'm also practicing for something else at the end of this experiment.  On April 24, Shannon and I will run an 8k for Crazylegs Global, a UW Madison-based run.  So far I've run/hiked over 88 miles this year and hope to be fully trained by then.

Day 32 Food Journal:
-apple, oatmeal, green tea*
-salad, roasted veggies
-popcorn
-Kashi cereal with almond milk; mashed sweet potato
-orange
*NOTE: after drinking my tea too fast, I went into caffeine shaky overload and wanted to curl up in a ball on the floor and wait for the shakes to pass. I didn't realize that the tea was so caffeinated.
