Spent lots of time outside this weekend and got to explore forests and coastline I hadn't been to before which is always a treat.

Spent 10 minutes outside last night appreciating and tending to my garden. So rewarding! I found that the arugula and a few other greens have shot up, enough so that I was able to make a delicious and fresh salad.

Eating an animal-free diet is hard! Only made it two days this time, but I like the idea of working toward a vegan work-week habit, where I avoid animal products in the day-to-day and only eat meat and dairy on special occasions.

Day 2 of vegan diet was easier! On day 3 now and once again very tempted by non-vegan cookies that have appeared in the office, will do my best but oof it's hard!

Monday was day 1 of trying out an animal free diet. Vegan alternatives abound! Made vegan banana bread and coconut milk soup, so I don't feel I'm lacking in tasty treats.... just have to get used to reading labels and turning down non-vegan food when offered (so hard!).

  It gets easier with time.
  At this point my body shakes at the thought of eating an animal product of any kind.
  Hang in there
