Why a 30 day Vegan Challenge?

So I was browsing Facebook and I saw a friends post about considering going Vegan.  She asked a few friends for some guidance.  This is something I have considered for quite a while!  I wanted to cut back on red meats and then with the news of chicken containing arsenic along with all the other nonsense, enough was enough.  So I watched a few documentaries (Vegucated, Cowspiracy) and plan to watch a couple more.  This made me decide to try it for 30 days!

I am not an environmentalist or an animal activist.  I am doing this for myself.  For the health benefits.  I am 34 years old, slightly overweight, and I want to meet my Great Grandkids and I want to teach my children how to live a healthy lifestyle.

So please, join me on my journey of a plant based diet.  I will post all my meals, challenges and other thoughts on my journey right here.  This is my first ever attempt at a Blog, but I am doing to keep me honest during this process.  If any of you have feedback (good or bad) please feel free to comment or contact me!
