"no follow through"

Okay so I have officially made a recipe that absoultley did not turn out. I had a craving for lemon bars so I decided to make a vegan lemon bar recipie that I found online and as I mixed up the crust and then mixed up the yummy lemony fillig of goodness, I popped that baby in the oven and to my dismay I arrived at a very odd looking finished product. It was more brown than yellow and more honey tasting then lemon, needless to say I was not very happy and will definatley be disgarding the remains.

I will be finishing up my 30 days this weekend and many people have asked, now that I have made it 30 days being vegan, what am I going to do next, well I have officially decided, with much deliberation, that I will be continuing on my vegan ways after the 30 days are up and I will be totally content in doing so.

I have a lot and I mean a lot, of people asking me how in the world can I continue to eat this way, how can I stand always having to pack my meals and plan ahead and turn down good, chemical-induced food, and yes while it is virtually impossible most of the time to go out to eat or to go to a gathering and not bring your own dish just so you will have something there that you can consume, I have oddly learned to adapt to this crazy way of life and I really do enjoy it!

Yes there are moments that I wish I could just go hit up Famous Daves and have there buttery corn bread or slab of all too fatty ribs, but I soon get over those wishes and remember the way that I feel when I am doing this, the thing that I have committed to, and if it was about anything else over the past 30 days it was definitely about finshing what I have started and I am happy to say that I will.

There is nothing greeter in life then a true sense of accomplishment, the feeling that you get when you have done what you set out to do. There are so many times in life that we have deviated or just plain given up so when we finish something and we gave it all we had there is something to be said about that. I really do admire those of you that seem to have everything together and always finish what you have started, but for the rest of us with the classic case of "no follow through" we seem to take pride in when we achieve these things in life. I hope you all can finish the things you start and committ to the things that will make you a better you. I bid you all a farewell till tomorrow. Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!!

Warm Regards,
