Veganism
Something I am considering because of it's extreme health benefits but since I have some experience from a year as a vegetarian I am not sure of my success rate. I lived on a farm I know the difference in taste between a properly raised and cared for animal and a factory farmed one. Seriously you can taste their fear. Ever wonder why people go organic. Try it sometime. The meat is sweeter and juicer because it was properly taken care of. While I know it would be a fantastic way to drop a lot of weight the problem would come from cravings for meat. The supersize me guy had a similar problem his girlfriend at the time (now wife) gave him a vegan detox diet after all that mcdonalds. He still went back to meat. We did evolve to be omnivores and eating foods of opportunity. It wasn't until the last few hundred years that people as a whole have been more settled and eating things that they raised. I think to do it I would do it different. Have Monday to Friday as vegan/veggie and then on the weekend allow myself meat. Or alternate days, or whatever works. I know for sure that I should already have a Meatless Monday and a Fruitarian Friday. I have been slacking and that has to change.

New Year, New crazy
So basically we have all been thrown into a new year where will will promise to do better about our bad habits and focus on being better. This isn't where lasting change comes from. Its great to really get into making yourself better but the human body evolved over millions of years you can't just make yourself something better over night or expect insta results. It should take 2 weeks to make each change. (2 weeks is about how long it takes to create a good habit.) I have decided that not bs'ing my workouts is my first two weeks of the new year. The second will be getting out more for walks or bike rides or whatever. Last will be adding more and more healthy, locally grown food into my diet. I plan to implement that with actual growing of my own food. It will take well over the month of January and into February to actually make and stick to my resolutions without going crazy and failing like I do every year. Do you have any tips or want some advice on sticking to it? Or maybe just some support. Just follow me.
