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.

Namaste

My yoga class this morning greatly parallels my current life struggle.  The battle of my mind versus my body.  In some twisted version of the "chair" pose, my legs were on fire and screaming at me to knock it off.  My mind yelled back, "I can't give up now! The class will see me fail and think that I don't have what it takes to be a yogi!"  Mind won.  Parallel struggle: my body craves sugar!  My mind shouts the Kate Moss mantra, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." ha!  Too bad my body wins that battle much of the time...probably because it thinks Kate Moss is pathetic and not worth listening to.  Ideas for a new mantra?
