inspiration

[Guest guest]

Years ago, I would go vegan every spring to combat my seasonal

allergies. My allergies have died down considerably, so I let that

fall by the wayside. I met a strict vegan the other day, and he and I

had a chat about misconceptions about meat and dairy (that we need

them). I decided to try and go vegan again, or primarily vegan. I've

been doing well, but it's only been about three days. My husband

doesn't care. My two-year-old daughter doesn't notice. I know this

will be a problem for my in-laws. They babysit. I don't worry about

what they feed my daughter, it's the extra stuff they buy and leave

here. Ironically, it's not even a veg issue. It's a junk issue.

Tastykakes, Pepperidge Farm Cakes, French toast sticks in the

industrial sized box, potato chips and cheese curls, ice cream

(several cartons a week). Nobody eats it except my husband. And I'm

worried about that as it's not good for his health. My father-in-law

probably could be diagnosed as OCD. He buys this stuff because it's

" a good deal " and he doesn't get that it's still wasted money if

nobody EATS it.

 

Anyway, this isn't to rant. It's to talk about inspiration. Since I

decided to go vegan again, I also signed up for personal training

sessions. I'm thinking about joining a gym (instead of whining about

my excess weight and post-baby thighs). I just want to be healthy.

 

And today I went to one of my favorite mom-and-pop stores and

inquired about a bike.

 

I thought that was pretty cool. Anybody else have tales of inspiration?
