Day TWENTY-TWO: Stay Motivated, Stay Educated

This day is easy, because it’s something that I have been doing in my free time since the beginning. Today we are to buy a book, subscribe to a magazine/email newsletter, or follow a blog that will help us stay motivated about veganism and that will continue to educate us on the subject. There are tons and tons, but my two favorites so far are Eat to Live and One Green Planet.

Day NINETEEN: Buy Yourslef a Treat

Today’s assignment is a fun one: buy yourself a treat for all of your hard work so far. It’s that simple. Money may be an issue, and this assignment is nonessential to becoming a vegan. That being said, if it fits in the budget, go out and buy yourself something nice (and vegan). Sarah suggests a t-shirt to show your vegan pride. You could also treat yourself to vegan cosmetics or fine (dark) chocolates.

My little indulgence was Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live. This book is a real kick in the pants to take your diet choices seriously. It expounds on the link between consumption of animal products and heart disease/cancer/stroke/diabetes. Dr. Fuhrman is also kind enough to offer a shopping list, a meal plan, and some recipes to set you on the right track.
