Vegan in training

I have decided to go Vegan! It just seemed to naturally be the next step. It was bound to happen sooner or later!
I haven't had red meat or pork since 1999.
We recently did a 10 day raw vegan diet. It was easy and I loved it! I felt great being on the raw food. My skin started to glow, my skin got better and I felt better. Don't know that I could be 100% raw but I will certainly try!
I look forward to the challenge of coming up with delicious recipes. I love to cook. Love to make food yummy!
I could also use more compassion in my life. I need to be more compassionate for people and for animals.
I promise to never judge anyone again because when ever I do I seem to somehow end up in those shoes!
I am also tired of chasing skinny. I have struggled with my weight and body issues since I was a pre-teen.
Had a brief stint with anorexia when I was in high school and have struggled to maintain since then.
In 2007 I gave birth to twins. Full term twins. My body was a mess, I didn't ever think I could get my pre pregnancy body back. But I did, I did better than pre-pregnancy. It took a very Long time and a lot of work. I exercised every day, there were days I would excercise 2 or 3 times a day. Working out became a new obsession and now I'm hooked. I'm not as hard core as I used to be but I really enjoy excercise.
So I think I'm going to blog about my transition from vegetarian(?) to Vegan and life in general as well of course.
I know what my friends and family are thinking. They all think I'm nuts. Who knows? Maybe I'll be able to inspire someone.
