Ew. You're a Vegan?

Two weeks ago, I made the decision to challenge myself to become a vegan for a month. It's something that has always been on my bucket list, but I just never got around to it. It was my love for cheese, and other various products containing milk or eggs that was stopping me for so long.
At some point in the seventh or eighth grade I decided for seeming good reasons at the time to become vegetarian, and kept up with it for a good 5 years until it became difficult to keep it up. I was working long hours at a pizzeria that definitely had few to none vegetarian options. I did keep away from red meats though.
about 5 months ago I made the decision to go back to being vegetarian, it just seems right for me and the lifestyle I live. I don't even know what triggered myself to suddenly decide to become vegan now. I think it's between the fact that I've been hitting the gym more than ever recently and that I really need to keep my renal system healthy with my PKD.

Well the past 2 weeks have actually been a lot easier than I imagined. I have way more energy than before, I'm eating food that actually does good for me. This could be a permanent change, or I'll at least be able to cross off my 6 month vegan challenge from my bucket list!
