Lent starts tomorrow, and though I'm not religious I'm using the 40 days as a challenge to foray into veganism. I need to try to eat healthier, particularly when snacking or binging on biscuits or whatnot, and I like to use Lent as a sort of personal test more generally. Being vegan is something I've wanted to do for a while, but have lacked the insight or knowledge on how to properly go about it. So, as I embark on this project I'm going to share experiences by way of a diary on this blog, and also as a means of learning tips and advice from other vegans.
Day -1
I'm excited about tomorrow and have now bought supplies to make my own granola (which I hope to blog about when I get round to making it) as well as soy milk (Tesco had sold out of the hazelnut and almond milks I was keen to try, booo), dairy-free butter, veg, etc. As a sort of farewell to dairy food I fully embraced pancake day by scoffing 3 of them, loaded with chocolate, nutella, lemon, sugar, the usual. We also had Domino's pizza - the gastric combination of which has made me more ready to embrace healthier, greener food over the next few weeks. Talk about going out with a bang...!
The only real apprehension I have right now is what I'll eat on my break at work tomorrow, as our choice of vegan food is currently nil. Luckily I'm working with my fellow Vegebee though, and we're heading out for a bite to eat after work (review to follow). Until tomorrow, then...
Bye bye, cheese and cakes and biscuits...
