I try to stay quiet on the animal welfare side of veganism, not because it isn't important, but because I find pictures and stories of animal cruelty mainly just upset animal lovers and put non-vegans on the defensive. I'd rather people did their own research and keep my posts to "here is a vegan thing … Continue reading Veganuary: Day 113
It's the final day of Veganuary! Tomorrow, I could rush out and buy a doner kebab, a cheese board and a kilo of Yellow Bellies if I wanted to. But you know what? I don't want to. I'm going to stay vegan. ... well, I say "vegan" but I'm going to qualify this a bit. … Continue reading Veganuary: Day 31
This will be a fairly quick review, as the course was completely unchanged from last time, my time was almost exactly the same, and even the weather was pretty much identical. I went out last night with four goals: Run the whole thing (ie. no walking) Don't get lost Don't have a tantrum about inappropriate … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Moon Hyde Park
Three weeks of veganness! And to be perfectly honest, it has all been a lot easier than I thought it would be. I thought by now there would have been at least one episode where I cracked and raided the cheese cabinet, or accidentally ate a burger and found it to be full of trotters. … Continue reading Veganuary: Day 21
I've read several times that prospective vegans worry about giving up cheese, but that after a couple of weeks without it, they suddenly started to find it rancid, repulsive and disgusting and are never tempted again. I think they are probably lying. A decent cheese is without a doubt the thing I've missed the most. … Continue reading Vegan Cheese
I have now survived an entire week as a vegan! And to be honest, it's actually not been that hard. I have worked most of the days since my last post, and as I work near Waterloo, there's a Marks and Sparks, a Tesco, a Sainsbury's and a Pret to choose from, all of which … Continue reading Veganuary: Day 8
I survived a full day as a vegan! Day 1 saw me on a training course at my workplace's annex in Arse End. Arse End is a small enclave of London which is mainly industrial estates and a crap Sainsbury's that never has what you want (even if you're an omnivore) so I prepared myself … Continue reading Veganuary: Day 2
Tomorrow will be the first day of my fully vegan month! Before I should start by explaining that I am a bit of a fussy eater. I do not like: Courgettes Cucumbers Tomatoes (unless cherry, or cooked) Lettuce Pretty much all herbs and spices, particularly garlic and coriander Carrots, unless mashed Margarine Any food from … Continue reading Veganuary: Day Zero
My next challenge is something completely different. I'm giving veganism a whirl! I read about Veganuary (a campaign organised by the Vegan society, challenging people to eat like a vegan for the whole of January) earlier this year, but didn't think it wise to make drastic changes to my diet whilst marathon training. So better … Continue reading Veganuary!
