I am ready for a new challenge. One of my biggest beliefs is that you aren't really living if there is no challenge under your belt or at least the inspiration of one. I crave to try new things constantly. So I have been on the lookout for something new and complicated to try. I would appreciate some interesting feedback.
Someone I recently have come to admire is Alex Jamieson; who also happens to be the wife of Morgan Spurlock, the star and creator of 30 days. If you were paying attention to the video, you would remember that she is vegan and before she set her husband free on a thirty day McDonald's feast she made him a mini vegan feast to boost his health before it plummeted to its doom.
When I sat down to write a post today, I was feeling negative amounts of inspiration that is until I discovered Alex's blog. What popped up and blew my mind was her "coming out" post from about a year ago called: I'm Not Vegan Anymore. What I learned from her post is essentially my reason for not eating meat anymore, which may or may not appear to be ironic. She went vegan for the sake of her health, then she got involved with the vegan communities and whatnot, and then years later she started craving these animal proteins again: meat and eggs. She figured that eating these animal products would not make her wrong or unhealthy for doing so, but more so in the right because she decided to listen to her body's cravings.
Simply put, she now preaches for you should do what is best for your body!
Eating healthy is complicated enough as it is and all of these growing cultures on being "gluten-free" and vegan make it more overwhelming. Alex puts it all into perspective for the insecure but also still posts vegetarian, vegan options.
I strongly encourage you to take a look at her blog if you have not already left me already, or at least read her most inspiring post (link above).
