Progress…I guess

first week as a vegetarian (struggles)

Giving up meat and other animal products is very difficult. Meat is scary addicting and I…

My First Week…

For the amount of time I have been a pescatarian it has been pretty easy. I haven’t really thought about the things I can’t eat (such as meat) mostly because there hasn’t been much time to think about it. It is also easy because I can still get my source of protein and nutrients in the fish that I…

Shorter Shower Update

My Mistakes

It was all going so smoothly until I went to my grandmother’s house — a place surrounded by meat — on weekends. Since there was nice weather on Sunday, she decided to have a cookout and completely forget I’m doing my science project and can’t eat meat. At first I tried to fight it and stay in my cousin’s…

Vegan Update 3/30/17
