My Vegan Pledge: Pre-Pledge

I am starting a 30-day Vegan Pledge beginning tomorrow, November 2, 2013.

A Little About the Pledge (from :
What’s the Vegan Pledge?  I’m glad you asked!  The Vegan Pledge started in the UK.  Board members of Peace Advocacy Network brought the Pledge to Philly and with great success. Non-vegan people pledge to go vegan for 30 days with the Pledge program’s support. This support includes weekly meetings consisting of cooking classes, environmental and health speakers, a personal mentor (experienced vegans), social events for support, and an incredible care package to make 30 days of being vegan that much easier.  - Peace Advocacy Network

My particular pledge is part of the Triangle Vegan Pledge. We meet once a week (on Saturdays) at the UNC Law School and I have a wonderful mentor named Sylvie to guide me throughout the pledge! She actually took part in the Triangle Vegan Pledge last year and has been vegan ever since!

I decided to make this pledge because I have been wanting to live a healthier lifestyle. My eating habits are awful - I eat anything and everything - and it's time I took control of that.

But literally, my diet is probably 50% sweets at the moment.
So healthy - I know.

I thought this pledge would be a good way to kickstart my health and push me into a healthier lifestyle.

I doubt I will come out fully vegan after this challenge, but I am definitely hoping to incorporate it into my lifestyle. I wouldn't mind eating half vegan and half (something like) pescetarian. I'm not completely sure yet, but regardless, I am hoping it will be healthier than what I eat now.

I will try to post updates throughout the challenge to let everybody know how I'm doing!
