Vegan-ish?
Ok, this might sound crazy.... but Ian and I decided to try a VEGAN diet for one month. We LOVE red meat, chicken, dairy, and anything that might come from an animal. We especially LOVE fast food. One might ask why? right? Well Oprah did it again. She had a show sometime in February that challenged her team to be vegan for one week, she had about 378 team members commit to this. Once the challenge was over, many said that their new diet made them feel so much better, not only that, they were able to loose some weight. I am not the best cook, but I try to cook for my family... but there might be weeks were I cook for our family, but most of the time I get lazy or am too tired to cook so we go out and get fast food. OK... So instead of the challenge only lasting for one week at our home.... It will last for ONE full month. We are not allowed to eat meat, fish, chicken, dairy or anything that might come from an animal. We hope to continue eating healthy after our challenge is over with so that Noah grows up in a home that eats healthy. I say vegain-ish because we will try to continue not eating red meat at our home once the challenge is over, but it does not mean that we are not going to be allowed to eat it. I know it going to be hard because we are so used to going out and eating really bad food, but we have to start somewhere. The question is "Can we make it for a full month?" I will keep you posted!
(I just love this picture of Noah's cheeks... I found this picture and just love it, so I thought to include it)
