30 Day Vegan Challenge

I know VeggieBoards has a 30 vegan challenge thread, but is there one here? So many great new forums, but I didn't find one, and wasn't real sure where to post this one...new vegan? food? so I just picked chitchat.
Day #1 of being Vegan. I was going to keep it a secret that way if I slip no one knows. But if I'm to transition to veganism I shouldn't be afraid to talk about it and shouldn't be afraid of others judgements should I fail. I told my co-workers and now I'm telling you. w00t!
Anyone care to join me?
that's awesome tweety! good luck!
That's how i started!! I didn't do the ppk thing though (i'm not even sure what that is) but i read skinny bitch and decided to go straight up vegan for a month and i just didn't turn back. I think i tried milk eggs and dairy each one time after that 30 days and found them all to be lackluster, expensive, and actually kinda gross. been 3 months and i'm still kickin!!!
Will your sister join you?
yay!
I really like your tattoo, btw. I have one on my back I want covered and am thinkin somethin vege related
Great tatoo hippie.
I'm not sure my sister's kitcehn is ready, but that's an idea!!
Go Tweety! :w00t!:
good for you!!!! i really hope it works out for you! ;)b
That's great, Tweety! You know so much about nutrition, and yummy food, it should be a snap for you. Keep us updated.
That's great! But don't stop at thirty days! I am now at thirty years and counting!

Will hopefully do that. Don't know what's taken me so long.
You can do it Tweety! I know you can.
This month is Vegan Month of Food, so most vegan blogs are posting daily. You should be able to surf a bit and get tons of ideas and inspiration.
*hugs*
Thanks Cali...didn't know about "Vegan Month of Food"....how did I miss that?
Correction! October is Vegan MoFo3. More info at PPK Blog and Kittee, Cake Maker To The Stars.
Thanks Cali....I already really know how to be a vegan and to cook vegan, and you guys are my inspiration. I just need to go from 95% vegan to 100%. I'm on day 7 and tonight will be the big test. I'm going out with a gang of friends to the theater and they picked a Mexican restaurant. I checked the menu online and they have a "vegetarian" section that is lacto-hell. Hopefully they can veganize me a bean burrito so I don't starve. In the past, eating out and holidays have always tripped me up.
I've never had a problem veganizing things. They usually still charge you the same as if you have lots of animal on your plate, so ask for substitutions to make up for it. Like, I'll ask for avocado instead of meat and salsa instead of cheese.
So far so good. They had veggie fajita's which I didn't notice on their online menu. I said "no cheese and no sour cream please" and it's a good thing because the beans on the side would have had cheese on it, and a big dollop of sour cream would have been on the lettuce. To the best of my knowledge the meal was vegan. w00t!
I told myself that if I stayed committed through my dining experience, I would make the change on my profile. It's now official....I've crossed over the the dark side.
I am Vegan.

I felt it was coming. Welcome to the dark side. On Day 1, you're already one of my favorite cooks. Congrats on navigating a restaurants menu. You've mastered what is probably the most challenging thing.

Yay!!!!!! Welcome to the dark side Tweety!
That's exactly what I order in Mexican restaurants too: veggie fajitas, no cheese, no sour cream. The first time I ordered them after deciding to be vegan, I neglected those details and they came with cheese and sour cream despite that not being in the menu description. I was so bummed out. Oh well. Don't get discouraged if you hit a few bumps along the way!
