four days

I read in Oprah's Big Book of Happiness that four days is a good amount of time to make changes and see results. Not sure about the results part after my first set of days, but I can envision a series of four that will get me closer to vegan. Each set of changes builds on the one before. Here's my plan:

Thursday-Sunday: no meat - DONE
Monday-Thursday: no fried food - STARTS TODAY
Friday-Monday: no processed sugar
Tuesday-Friday: no gluten
Saturday-Tuesday: no processed foods
Wednesday-Saturday: no dairy

I saved the hardest [cheese] for last. My list is not just about eating animal-free but living healthier. Eventually, I'll add exercise and other kinds of activities to the series.

As I make large and necessary changes for my well-being, perhaps it is time to return to and take seriously the practice of blogging. A new entry, every four days. And as with all mandates and restrictions I impose upon myself, I will indulge once in awhile.
