Hello! Let me start by introducing myself! My name is Jennifer, and I am a 32 year old mother of 3 beautiful kids. The older I get, the more health conscious I'm becoming. In my 20's, I ate whatever I wanted with little thought to it's nutritional value. As a result, I was overweight and very out of shape. The past couple of years, I've made better decisions about what I ate, and how much exercise I am getting. Because of my conscious decision to better myself, I lost 60lbs. I even ran a 10k! (my time was terrible, but I finished and I wasn't last! lol). This past February I developed pneumonia and stopped exercising (per dr.s orders), but then never really started again once I was healthy again. This brings me to now.
I've gone "Vegan" before, but only for 21 days. That was a strict vegan diet - I didn't even allow myself sugar (or sugar substitutes) or flour. The first couple of days was hard, but then when my body adjusted, I felt fantastic! So, after a lot of thought and consideration, I've decided for the next 75 days of summer, I will follow (to the best of my abilities) a relatively strict Vegan diet.
I have been following a vegetarian diet since returning from Disney world on Sunday, but now it's time to start my Vegan journey!
I'm interested to see how I'll feel, and how much weight (if any) I'll lose from it.
I realize that no one will read this, but I want to chronicle this journey. If you're reading - Thanks!
