Michael and I love watching documentaries just about anything. I have seen Super Size Me, Corn Inc and Morgan Spurlock documentary about corn syrup. I feel like health and wellness is a passion of mine.
So I have been on a quest to work eating healthier for years. I have known people who are vegan since I was in my 20's but thought I could not eat just veggies. Doing the research on what is available-chicken and egg substitues, tofu sour cream and cream cheese, soy,almond, rice and hemp milk, veggie cheese, soy yogurt, soy ice cream. The options are limitless.
The taste-I am telling you my vegan choc chip cookies are the best cookies I have ever had but on the other hand, vegan carrot cake is gross. Just have to keep trying things that work.
What about the protein?? If you read your labels-beans, meat sub, you will not miss out on any protein.
Why do I do it? I feel better. After dinner, I do not feel sluggish and tired. I do not feel like I want to go to bed. I could even go work out without feeling like I am going to loose my dinner.
Do I completely give up on all meat and dairy? No, I feel the more veggies and fruit I eat the better off my family and I will be.
I have heard some people say(not knowing this is the lifestyle I am choosing) to never trust a vegan. Why because I would rather not eat a cow that is on a diet of corn that makes the cow sick and they give it antibiotics that I then in turn eat. Because of eating vegetables and trying to be healthy makes me a person a shady character.
I love this way of eating. It has made a more calm,center person. I am always looking for other healthy items. Let me know if you know of any.

Angi, you are AMAZING! I SO admire Vegan's.... I could never discipline myself to convert to it but I would love to chat with you about how it is working for you. I just love eating beef so much! haha. I better not watch that documentary because I am not ready to even consider letting go of a juicy steak. :) Anyway, I loved reading this post.. it sounds like you feel awesome which means it must be working! Are you trainig for the Ogden half??? I so wish I was there to do that this year! You have to tell me ALL about it! Sorry I missed you this last trip (we were there a couple weeks a go for a few days)... we are planning a much longer trip in July. Anyway, I love you and hope all is well!!!!
