Start of An Adventure or Torture?

I am not too sure what I am getting myself into...
I will admit that I need some drastic change of some sort in my life, lately it just feels a little too helter skelter. I Have no control over my personal life, I lack focus, my faith is lacking and not because I want it to be and I am surrounded with wonderful food. The problem with wonderful food is for obvious reasons not bad, it's the fact that once a day I get a meal of MY choice off of the menu. This means that I can look at the menu and select something that I feel like. Sounds great right? Wanna know what I usually choose? Cookies. Yup, cookie and soup. We have the most incredible food to choose and I pick the least nutrient rich items possible. This is how I have been since we opened shop. I am tired of my own lack of self will. I need a change. I need control back.

I am looking forward to this lent adventure I am embarking on with my good friends. What better way to experience something like this than with a little fellowship along the way.

What is this lent adventure you ask of?

This year for lent I am going vegan (with some limitations and some flare).

Vegan in that I will eat standard vegan foods, veg, no meat, no dairy.

I will not avoid wearing leather goods or wool.

I will not eat food that had been pre-packaged (other than my own canned goods made at home)

Bulk is fine.

We shall see. I'm excited to exercise my self control with food.

I am going to try to journal my experience here. When I start doing stuff like this I usually end up bearing my soul, which I'm not sure I want to do for the entire web, so please bare with me.
