Day 30 - Congratulations!!!!

Here we are, my little chickens, at DAY 30 of our VEGAN IN 30 DAYS journey.  Can you flippin' believe it????

I decided to do a list of what I've learned this month, because really, I know you just can't hardly wait to know.

What Tina Learned in July

1.  The hardest part about being a vegan is going out to dinner.
2.  The most difficult food item to give up is cheese.
3.  Being a vegan is a lifestyle, not a diet choice, and should be approached as such.
4.  I lost 12 pounds with zero effort.
5.  I am really, really lazy, and if I maintain this, I'll probably eat like 3 foods and ignore everything else.
6.  Green smoothies are THE BOMB.
7.  Soy hot dogs are really not the bomb.
8.  Vegans poop A LOT.
9.  Vegetable stock is much more flavorful than beef or chicken stock.
10.  Most people don't know what a vegan is, and when you tell them, they always respond the same way - "Why would you want to do that?"
11.  My thing with LB pretty much fizzled, as it was certainly destined to do.
12.  I had an epiphany about what, exactly, I want in a relationship, my career, and my life in general.  And I kid you not, within HOURS, I met someone who met all those criteria in each of those areas.
13.  Sarah Taylor is an AWESOME person, and thanks to the exposure she gave me on a big-time vegetarian website, I had more blog hits in July than I had between January 1 and June 30.
14.  It's really difficult to sleep in July with no air conditioning.

Now for the question du jour - am I going to stick with it?  Answer - I truly don't know.  I can definitely do vegetarian.  I just don't know if I can realistically give up eggs and cheese.  It's not that I can't live without eating an egg, but geez, they are in EVERYTHING, it seems.  So I'm going to play it by ear and see how it goes.  

Tomorrow we start a new project...can you stand the suspense?
