Need a system shakeup

[missdiane]

Hey veganhothead  I think it might be time for me to do another Vegan Week challenge and invite others if they're game. Whattya think? Maybe x-post it to FB. FYI, there's a Food Porn forum with some vegan folks that just joined if you want to be added? It's not all vegan but the new folks do post some seriously yummy looking stuff.

I need to improve my diet and need to get exercising and you'd think that with Summer coming it's be easier since that's when everyone gets all energized but I'm exactly the opposite since I'm a sun and heat avoider. So if I make it a personal challenge and get habits to stick through this rough period, it should help.

I need to use some bits up and do some pondering for what to eat so hm...Could start the end of this month? Anyone else feel like joining in?

I'm a vegetarian already, I'm not sure I could go 100% vegan, but I do notice that I feel much better when I keep normal dairy limited and eat other "vegan" types of cheeses and milks. I have a friend I've known online for YEARS who has turned vegan. She really likes it. If she posts some more of her recipes on Facebook, I'll be glad to share them with the group. How do I join?

That's why it's only a week. ;)

The two things that I moan and groan about when doing the challenge are not having cream in my coffee (I like the real deal) and that I eat eggs a LOT. I also do miss cheese but it's fun to try to find some new stuff to play with. So aside from dairy, I don't have a lot of trouble paying attention to my diet and thinking about my choices for a week. Sometimes I do "vegetarian time" after that.

As far as sharing, is she on LJ? I could resurrect my healthystart group for the challenge :) Or for funsies I could ponder making a FB group for vegan and vegetarian food fun. Never done that before

No, I know her from a Pat Metheny Group site we both used to frequent. Now, I mostly see her on Facebook.

If you make a FB group for Vegans and Vegetarians, I'll be there, for sure. So many people think I am just NUTS for being one. Why, I have no idea. And I'm with you on the eggs, that's another thing I could never give up. I like them too much and they are a great source of protein.

Oh and BABY GROOT! Eee!

I'm addicted to Baby Groot. I think it'd be fun to have Rocket and Baby Groot around all the time. There would never be a dull moment!

I'm game of course! Since I'm already vegan I could make the goal to eat mostly raw produce like I did last summer.

You guy do know about Daiya vegan cheese, right? The stuff is awesome. There are at least two pizza chains here in Canada who offer it as an option.
