I’m still vegan.
Hard to believe it has been that long. I’ve just read through these past entries and found it remarkable how my life has changed since the beginning of this, on a number of fronts.
First of all, I’ve switched careers again. And that is good news all by itself. I’m now working with my buddy Rob here at the USDA in Kansas City, MO.
Secondly, and not quite so great, I’ve lost weight and then regained it. A couple of summers ago, I had a pretty dramatic accident on my bike which dislocated my shoulder. That hurt. No permanent damage, but it broke my exercise routine. I’ve since joined another exercise club and with all the house construction going on, just haven’t gotten back into it. It is a pretty weak excuse. I’ve got to do better.
The weather has been pretty cold these past weeks, no surprise given the season. I’m looking forward to longer, warmer days.
So, now the vegan aspect. It is very easy to maintain, especially not traveling like I did when I started this. Sister Sunny is also trying the vegan route as well. And I think some of her kids. Casey pointed out to someone that he doesn’t even think of cheese as being food, and now I can understand that. The very thought of going back to the usual carnivore ways is disturbing.
I’ve had checkups with the doc and he says my cholesterol is normal. BP is still a tad high, but probably only because of not getting exercise.
So, that is it. Three years and running. And feeling pretty good, all considered!
