My New Years Resolution

Most people give something up for new years, cigarettes or alcohol for instance, but few carry it through the year. As someone who already happens to be a non-smoking vegetarian, and only a moderate social drinker, at first I thought I'd go for the classic 'Go to the gym more often', then came the idea of giving veganism a go.
It's a move I've been considering for some time. I don't particularly enjoy dairy foods, especially when I think about where they come from (and the methods used in its production) and mainly live on soy products in place of my meat and dairy.
I do, however, have a few vices:

• Quorn
• Cheesestrings
• Mozzarella
• Quavers
• Pesto

This is to name but a few. The list of dairy items I consume mostly consists of junk food, and eating cheese always makes me feel a little sick afterward. So it makes sense from all points of view to just bite the bullet and cut it out completely.

Unfortunately, I happen to be an incredibly lazy person, and the only way I ever get anything done is by getting other people to nag me. So, I came up with the idea of this blog to stop me straying.

Every day in 2010 I will post what I eat.

This idea is twofold:

• It will pressure me to make a healthy balanced delicious vegan meal every day, because I know I have to post it to the public.
• Some people may find this blog and offer recipes/tips/encouragement.
• Some people may find this blog and get recipes/tips/encouragement for themselves.

And hopefully, if all goes to plan, it will help show how easy it is to live on a healthy balanced delicious vegan diet :)

The main blog won't start until 1st January 2010. but there will be a few posts before then .

Please follow, leave comments and share :)
