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 20: February 20

DAY ONE OF THE IMMERSION!

I am insanely excited.  I am also tremendously tired.  So we are going to keep this brief.

Got into Austin at 11:30.  Then the big blue shuttle drove us to Travassa (formerly the Crossings).


There's a long and winding road leading up to the resort.  There's tons of sky.  There's also tons of land.  It's just lovely. When the shuttle stopped, cute Texan boys were there to take our bags to our rooms.



My room is AWE. SOME. MAH.

My bed is big and fluffy, the way I like it.  The bathroom is large and gorgeous.  There is a a beautiful desk, so many windows, and wifi! 

And that BED.

I am going to sleep so hard tonight.

The welcomes tonight were so exciting.  We went into a huge gym/auditorium where Rip Esselstyn (Big Engine 2 Author Guy) told us about all the super exciting people we were going to listen to talk this week.  Nutrition big wigs and the like.  And he gave us a rundown of the menu for the week. Which was enticing and delicious. 

I am a sap.  I get excited when people who know something works say over and over again "This is going to change your life. This information." I believe them.  Especially when the food looks like this: 


two kinds of delicious beet salad.  Huge piles of kale and spinach with cashew cream sauce.  And sweet potato lasagna.  I ate all of this.  It was delicious and filling and yet I feel light and not stuffed.

Except for the crazy gas.

I am amazed I am here.  It hasn't sunk in yet.  I think a good night's sleep will help that along.  Man.  It's going to be an amazing week.  So many lectures and classes tomorrow.  And workout at 6:45 am.  Oh boy. 



I suspect I will also take the time to enjoy this view.  Over and over again.
