Create Your Own Action
Eat vegan as much as possible
I am already vegetarian and would like to eventually be vegan. I will be staying with families in Spain for one of the two weeks, and asking for vegetarian food is already a big ask. That's why I'm saying 'vegan as much as possible'.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Sally Fish 10/14/2017 3:36 PMEating a vegan diet in Spain is a little tricky without sacrificing my nutrition (a diet solely made up of bread/potato/salad) or going to a special restaurant (no good for my meat-eating family). Everytime I say I'm 'vegetariana', they sigh deeply/look at me like I'm crazy/start offering me fish dishes. Ironically I'm now eating more dairy than I was before I challenged myself to go vegan. Ha! Oh well, I tried. I'll have to slightly adapt my challenge: 'Vegetarian in Spain, Vegan in England'.
On a positive note, no plastic bags were harmed in the making of this trip, we have been refilling water bottles religiously and all of our waste is destined for the recycling plant!
Cheers from Spain! 🍺

Sally Fish 10/12/2017 4:08 PMMostly vegan menu - day two: beans on toast for breakfast, veggie Thai green curry for lunch, dinner with my parents - roasted vegetables with polenta fries and a mushroom bake (contained cheese as my mum didn't realise I'd taken the plunge). Still happy with my efforts and very grateful for a cooked meal with family. 😊 -

Sally Fish 10/05/2017 6:53 AMAll of the actions I have chosen to adopt are habits that I once had but have lost along the way due to a lack of motivation. I'm seizing this opportunity to realign my beliefs and actions and be the very best version of myself.
My Eco Challenge will be made extra tricky by being in Spain for one of the two weeks. Spain is not exactly known for its vegan options! Here goes...-
Rob Greenfield 10/08/2017 7:13 PMHi Sally! Very great to hear that you are using the EcoChallenge to get back on track. We all need that sometimes in the long lives that we live! Thanks so much for being on the team! -
