This Blog Is Now Read-Only

Ok, now that it’s two months since I’ve posted here on Veggie-Style, I think it’s time to admit that I won’t be updating this blog as I had hoped. Life and work and other projects are just taking up too much time, and this blog didn’t make the cut.

Still, there’s some good stuff in the archives worth checking out, and some great, humorous photos to share with your friends.

If you’re stumbling across this blog for the first time, check out these posts:

• Vegetarian Gas, Not A Myth!
• Vegetarian Feminism
• The Importance Of Breakfast
• Types Of Vegetarianism
• Cruelty To Vegetables

For the curious, I am now eating meat only once a week, and I have yet to consume any ground beef or Chicken McNuggets (do those count as meat, anyway?) since I began this experiment. Life is good, and I feel healthy. Slowly but surely, my eating habits have changed, and I’m consuming a lot of great food. Good stuff.

If you enjoyed reading Veggie-Style, please check out my main blog Frivolous Motion, where I write daily about technology, design, business, and other really cool stuff.

Happy eating!

Day 30: Where’ve I Been?

Life and work has taken hold, and sadly, my dedication to Veggie-Style has suffered. It’s been a full week since I last posted, and for that, I am sorry.

Rest assured that I have not had a single bite of non-fishy meat in the last 7 days of my bloggish absence, however. No cheating by me.

Today marks the 30th day in my 30-day vegetarian challenge, which means that, officially, I’m allowed to start eating beef and pork and chicken and human flesh again.

But I probably won’t.

At least, not nearly as frequently as I once did - if at all. It’s possible I might have a bit of a celebration meal this weekend, but other than that, I intend to keep with it. I find the discipline refreshing, and I’m slowly teaching myself to develop new and healthier eating habits. It¦s happening. Not overnight, but still. It is.

Thanks to everyone who sent in tips and encouragement this past month. You rock.

If all goes well, I plan on keeping Veggie-Style alive, with perhaps a post a week about something vegetarian-related. Some more fun posts like the one on vegetarian feminism, for instance, or 10 Great Ways To Make Tofu. And I love making the images that accompany the posts, so I’ll continue to post these to my Flickr stream and here on the site.

Do check back from time to time, and better yet, subscribe to the RSS feed so you’ll be notified of anything new that comes down the pipe.

Rock on, veggie. Rock on.

Day 23: Thai

Meal One:

• Parfait
• Iced Coffee

Meal Two:

• Red pepper, cheese, marinara, onion, etc. wrap (There were black olives on this. I took them off because biting into one makes me gag. Seriously.)
  
• Kettle Salt and Pepper chips

Meal Three:

• Vegetable Pad Thai (gross compared to chicken - too many conflicting flavors)
• Spring Rolls
• Thai Iced Tea
  

What I Ate This Weekend

That’s more-or-less the recap. Missing a couple things, probably, but this is pretty close.
