21 days

21 days doesn't seem like that long...right? Three weeks is all it is. Starting this Monday I am going to do a 21 day vegan kickstart program. Why vegan you ask...well the health benefits of going to a plant based diet are phenomenol, especially considering my cholesterol level is over 200. In addition to being able to lower my cholesterol, gaining more energy, feeling good about myself and losing weight--it's worth giving it a shot. Three weeks is all it is.

Won't it be hard to give up meat?
No--I don't think so--I really haven't been consuming much meat now. Maybe a chicken breast here and there but I can do without for a minimum of three weeks.

What about dairy--no milk, no cheese, no eggs?
Dairy and I have a horrible relationship anyways. It does a number on my stomach and the only thing I will miss is ice cream. I have to look and see if there is a vegan italian ice of some kind. I don't use cow's milk now anyways. Andrew and I have switched to almond milk which we both love.

So here it is. I am going to use this blog to track my progress. If anyone wants more information go to: http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/
