To Vegan or not to vegan....



Six years ago I became a vegan (and then subsequently failed at it) after being inspired by shazzie.com.  She was writing blogs about her transition into veganism, before blogging became the thing to do.  She was brutally honest, documenting how her body dramatically changed as she began eating nothing but non-cooked fruits and vegetables. Years of struggling with acne and bloating seemed to vanish after only weeks; along with a series of health issues and obesity.

In one blog she actually describes the sludge and interesting looking things that she found in her poo while detoxing, or a zit she had for years finally erupted spewing years of goo out. It was so fascinating and disgusting all at once, and I jumped on the vegan bandwagon.

The lifestyle lasted almost a year.  It's difficult to explain to your Iowan meat eating farming family that you no longer eat animals or their bi-products. You would think you killed someone's mother.  Oh wait, you kind of do when you are a carnivore. 

I long for the days when I was that disciplined, that healthy. When my skin glowed, when I slept well, when I could easily meditate for a half hour straight. 

So tonight, guess what I did?  A little research.  A little health research. I have a friend who is trying to shove the benefits of swigging some apple cider vinegar on a daily basis. I also decided to gorge myself on some stawberries, baby steps, baby steps. I have not been taking the best care of myself lately (please see blog about eating lots of cheeseburgers....with fried eggs on them and drinking lots of Jameson, and beers). So, I'm starting up my yoga routine again. I'm still on the fence about going straight vegan again. Do I go for it?
