Back in Action

So it has been a couple of months since I have posted anything and to be honest I wasn't planning on coming back to the world of blog. I felt that my blog didn't really have a specific topic. I'm a little all over the board, but I realized that is just how I am in life so it makes sense that my blog would follow suit.

So an update on the Vegan lifestyle. I tried the Vegan eating for 3 weeks and I found it pretty good. I wasn't eating meat for awhile so that part wasn't hard but the cheese! I craved cheese so bad! I know you can get cheese substitutes and I tried a few but it was my downfall. Also, I learned that I wasn't quite ready to fully take on the vegan lifestyle because I didn't like the attention. I found it difficult in social situations to say I was eating aVegan diet, because it would turn into a huge explanation and then me watching people eat cheese. Lastly, I felt like a Vegan poser. I read some of the book Vegan Freak and well to be frank the book freaked me out. The authors were very adamant that you were vegan 100% or not at all. So overall I am pretty much eating a vegan diet as I don't eat eggs, milk, yogurt, try and avoid cheese and I avoid meat products. Occasionally, I eat honey and if I am offered bake goods with dairy products in it I eat it.  So overall it is an evolving process and I will continue to adapt my diet to meet my lifestyle and beliefs. I plan on trying the vegan diet when I get back to Halifax as in Port Aux Basques the natural/healthy food selection is slim pickings. Either way I'll be sure to keep you all updated. :)
