I am 32 yrs old and I have been a vegan for 2 days. Actually I was vegan from age 18-19.5 but I gave it up. I still feel guilty about that. I guess I've always thought about it over the last ten yrs or so and I don't feel like I'm living up to my ideals. 3 days ago this girl I work with(I work at a large insurance company in rhode island that uses snoopy as a mascot) said she thought I was hot but that if I became vegan I could definitely be her boyfriend or whatever. Well it was funny because I started thinking about it and I was like "well maybe the universe is telling me something..." so I started it that day. I went to the health food store in east greenwich and got some food. I want to stick with it this time.
The one person I know of who is a vegan athlete is mike mahler and he is my hero - I have both of his k-bell dvds and I do his routine. He is a big inspiration to me in terms of strength training but I've never tried to go vegan as an athlete before now.
What's my long-term goal in going vegan? I want to regain something I feel I've lost over the last ten years - it's not really a physical thing it's more about who I am and my ideals vs. what I actually do everyday in my life. Also I would like to have better health, sex life, and my ultimate goal is to one day date casey krebs

OK that's it - I'm a 2 day vegan and 2 yr kettlebell lifter.
