 I am doing this challenge/blog to see how my life and moods would change if i was vegan for a month.  Today was already hard but it was worth it because I felt lighter and I felt like I had more energy. For lunch I ate pesto pasta and for dinner I ate a vegan cheese burrito with rice and tomato. It was hard not to eat meat but chef Barry’s delicious food made it so much easier.

I missed a couple days in my blog but I am still vegan and it is getting way easier. Today for breakfast I ate cereal with almond milk with a fruit smoothie and a granola bar and for lunch I had corn with potatoes and beans. The food is great! For dinner I had vegan Mac and cheese with tofu, rice, and greens. Being vegan is getting a little easier but it is really not that hard as long as you know how to cook the right food or have a wonderful chef to make u delicious food.

 Today was a nice vegan day because went on a field trip to whole foods. I saw a lot of good alternatives for vegans and a lot of reasons why vegan is the way to go. At whole foods they were talking a lot about how a lot of places mistreat the animals and how the meat and things are brought to the stores and that made me super proud to be a vegan. I had cereal and a vegan donut for breakfast and I’m not going to  lie, I couldn’t resist a piece of cheese at whole foods. I had some vegan pizza for lunch and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. It had vegan cheese, sauce, peppers, and zucchini on it. Yummy! For dinner I ate rice, broccoli , and more pizza. I think I like being vegan. I want to be a veterinarian and I love animals and I actually feel better knowing that I am not eating any part of them or anything that has to do with them.


Sincerely, Carrie
