Today, Fat Tuesday, has been both exciting and scary, knowing that starting tomorrow I will be giving up many of my favorite foods. I am embarking on this Lent adventure of veganism with one of my best friends, Andrew Jessup. Though I have been a vegetarian for five years, I have a strong weakness to most all other animal products (especially cheese and yogurt) so I am expecting this to be a great challenge. That being said, I can't wait to see how these forty days affect me.
I can't wait to begin tomorrow but who wants to hear about how I celebrated my last meal of freedom? Just a few minutes ago I finished off a bowl of Starbucks caramel macchiato and Edy's thin mint ice cream. Yes, I'm going to miss it, but I'm willing to take the risk of leaving these foods behind.
In less than three hours I am going to begin one of the most mentally challenging experiences of my life.
