Kelly's Vegan February

I started out a meat eater. Then I became vegetarian.

Now I'm Vegan. For the month of February, at least.

This is a record of 28 days of living
a Vegan Lifestyle
for my 28 Day Challenge
at Whole Foods Market Columbus Circle.

The struggles, the successes, the food!

Let's do this like it should be DONE.

Day 17: Feb 17

So, today, four people on different occasions said I looked skinny.

And I woke up this morning feeling like "Oh, I look skinny today"--which is interesting.  Did my attitude affect the way I looked?  Did they way I look affect my attitude?  Both? Probs.

I put on a pair of pants I've actually never been able to wear comfortably since I  bought them.  Now they are loose-ish. I put on a tshirt that fits fantasically which used to hug my spare tire (that belly roll above the waist).

I felt smaller when I walked into work today.  And four people all said I looked smaller.

Just a great feeling, man.

I have to celebrate ALL these little things. Fitting into a pair of pants, getting compliments, figuring out how to make great healthy pizza, a month of veganism.  All this stuff, all these little victories along the way should be celebrated.  Because the ultimate GOAL--it might not ever get reached.  Heck, I might not even really have a goal in sight except to be healthy and to look better.  And I can always be healthier.  And I can always look better. So what good would it be if I just looked toward that all the time and didn't take time to appreciate my successes along the way.  That's no fun way to live.

I want to live FUN.


Last day of work tomorrow. Sunday I leave for Austin.  Oh, man.  That's something to celebrate.
