Hey Guys, Great forum you've got here! I decided to go vegan and abstain from alcohol and tobacco for Lent this year. I'm not religious, but I think entertaining bouts of self-denial and disrupting routines makes for an interesting life. I'm 24 and was vegan for 2 years in highschool and vegetarian for another 4 in college. Sort of fell off that train, but hopefully I'll continue the diet after Easter. (Seriously doubt I'll keep the drinking off though) When I ate veg growing up, it was purely for ethical reasons and I never really pursued a healthy, whole foods style diet. I'm excited to turn that around. For you fellow Austinites, I live up near 290 and 183, but work off South Congress and Riverside. Spring is rearing it's head and the ladies on SoCo are looking amazing! Anyways, I'm off to the gym for some chest and cardio. Take it easy!
