Well????

Alright, so everyone is on the edge of their seats wondering how my 14 days as a vegan turned out. Truth be told it was probably more like 11 days. And I did lose 2 pounds. But I'd like to summarize my experience by telling a very embarrassing story about myself.

It was 2002ish and I was still trying to eliminate those college lbs that just wouldn't quit. I guess I had seen an Oprah or something and it was recommended to keep a food diary when you are trying to get on a healthy diet.

Great idea.

I went out, bought a nice little journal and decided that by writing down everything I ate I would be sure to tackle the problem areas head-on.

Fast forward to a few years ago when my mom and I were cleaning out my closet when she uncovered said journal. She pulled it out and flipped through a page or two and was immediately cackling. I grabbed the book and took a look for myself and when Denver came to see about the commotion it was all too much. We were in tears of laughter- the kind of laughter that makes you red in the face and you are forced to sweat out the humor, literally.

Suffice to say that my "food journal" lasted about a week and by mid-week of week 1, I was ordering by number and having multiples of things that don't grow on trees, or anywhere for that matter.

While this experiment was not as unsuccessful, it was still indicative of my varying degrees of will-power.
