So, today is Day 1 of our vegan challenge and it went really well (for me at least, Andrew might have had a different experience). I was on a field trip with my English Lit class which lasted the entire school day, so I was thankfully distracted from thinking about my vegan diet as I tried to understand the three hours of the Shakespearean play, Henry V. It is now night and I'm surprisingly full and satisfied from the day. I don't want to speak for all people, but many individuals who I've talked to about being vegan always state how I'm going to starve and never be able to eat. Thankfully, that is not the case. As long as you aren't super picky, finding vegan foods isn't as hard as everyone may think. Hopefully this mentality lasts throughout these forty days and I don't actually starve, but after today I am able to say that I will definitely be able to find satisfying foods to eat.
Today, I encountered a slight problem which doesn't regard veganism. Andrew and I had a realization. April 14 is the date of our half marathon which we've been training for, but our senior prom is that day. Even though I've been to many dances throughout my high school experience, it's senior prom. This dance may be lame or it may be super fun, but if we don't go, we'll never know. That being said, running can wait. Though Andrew and I won't be participating in this race, I am going to continue to run so I'll continue posting how this vegan diet is affecting my runs. Can't wait for Day 2!!
Staying Strong,
Maggie
