Lol! You’re so funny! I’ve been a vegan for about a year! I have no regrets. I think one important thing in becoming vegan is being able to cook! When I’m feeling lazy i just stir fry tofu and add precooked/frozen vegetable fried rice from Trader Joes. It’s vegan and delicious and in less than 10 minutes I have a meal and 3 servings of leftovers for my next lazy meal. And you’re giving up pizza? NO WAY! Daiya makes vegan pizza and it delicious! I like the challenge of finding different ways of cooking my favorite dishes without animals in it. Good Luck with your marathon and don’t forget most pastas are vegan and so is rice!

I can totally relate! My extended family HATEs that I’m Vegan – ha! Just makes me want to continue! Cheese was hardest for me and I too am starting to LOVE Diaya! Their new Mac & Cheese is to die for. And I still find stuff in my cabinet that I’ve had for months, thought it was vegan, double checked and it’s not. Why do food manufactures need to sneak so many dairy additives into things?? My extended family members are getting all the stuff I’m throwing out. Oh yeah.. and I’m a fitness instructor (part time, Realtor by day) and so many are concerned about my “protein intake”… I usually retort with, how do you know you’re getting enough vitamin A or something like that. For those folks I bought a shirt that says, “I’ve got 99 problems and protein ain’t one!”
Good luck with everything and thanks for sharing!

Welcome! I like Garden of Life Raw organic protein powder – it’s good, mixes well, and is soy free. After four years being vegan, I avoid soy as much as possible because it’s easy to over consume soy as a vegan. There are tons of nutritious, delicious vegan recipes out there – easy, everyday ones, and fancy ones too. I eat much healthier after becoming vegan because it forced me to eat so many more vegetables, and get protein from sources other than dairy – garbanzo beans are really versatile. The possibilities are endless, and it feels so good to be creating a compassionate reality and living in a way that aligns with what you know and believe. Congrats on your decision!
