So, it went something like this…
While in the bathroom at work, I looked in the mirror a few days ago and noticed my neck jiggle a bit.
Not just a little bit. But a lot bit.
I was horrified.
Right then and there, I knew I needed to do something to get this body under control. I absolutely refuse to be one of those girls who ignores the fact that she’s gaining weight and/or getting out of shape, only to wake up one day 300 pounds overweight.
So, I decided to go on a diet. Not just any diet. But vegan and gluten free.
Why vegan and gluten free, you ask? Well, I’ve always wanted to try a plant based diet. Meat really slows me down, especially since I don’t exercise very much. Plus, I heard that a vegan diet can really clean the impurities from your body, which to me translated into clear skin. (Something I am always searching for.)
I also hear that carbs bloat you to the max. And to get rid of this gobble neck that is steadily forming, I have to cut the carbs. And since I LOVE bread, I knew I couldn’t cut all starches and such. So gluten is the next best thing.
Just an FYI:
- If you’re looking for a blog or article that will provide you with medical stats and real facts about vegan and gluten-free diets, you are in the wrong place. I decided to do this diet strictly for vanity sake and with the word-of-mouth knowledge I received from my friends and family. I did not consult a doctor or a vegan support group before committing to this challenge. And unless I pass out somewhere in public, I doubt I will.
- I’m allergic to soy and tree nuts. So this challenge will really be a challenge for me.
- I have called upon my good friend, Starlet Monet, to join me on this journey and be my accountability partner. In no way could I do this challenge alone. But with Star by my side, I may have a shot at completing it.
- Easter and my Birthday fall right within my challenge. And I WILL be eating meat, mac & cheese and whatever meal that is offered to me on those days. So please know in advance that I AM CHEATING on those days.
And with that…now begins my 90 Day Vegan Challenge.
Follow along with me. Join Me. And at the very least, wish me luck!
