@ Melisa - That's so great! When does your week start? I bet a personal mentor will help so much, too. And it's true, if you can make it a whole week it really seems much more manageable (have you read me story?) Good luck, and let me know if I can help!

I hooked up with the Vegan Society, and am pledging just ONE week (If I can make it a week, I can make it longer, I just know it!) with the help of not only their vast resources, but a personal mentor! So awesome!

@ Melissa – You can do it, just keep at it!

@ Melisa – Girl, we live in a non-vegan world! I hear ya!

I just cross paths with too many sweets. (;

@ Valerie – I think this mission is a continuing endeavor for most people who participated. It sounds like you made a change that resulted in positive outcome, even if it’s not exactly what you imagined. I guess the important question is do you *feel* better?

@ Kenna – That was ambitious, and 3 times is AWESOME. And totally realistic, and most importantly sustainable. Good luck with keeping it up and forming a permanent habit! (for both of your accomplishments)

@ Melisa – Try making vegan comfort foods! What is it that you’re missing?

Going vegan is still going slowly. I’m reading both “Becoming Vegan” and “The China Study” (after you recommended it, a person on Instructables did also!) but I’m struggling to resist comfort foods which are very unvegan. I know, I just need to nut up, but that’s where I am.

I kinda changed mine halfway through. Getting to the gym 4 times a week was too ambitious, but I did 3 times a week, so yay? I also added a “get up really early” goal, which I did too. I got to work consistently before 8am, and some days I was there at 7:30am.

I’m having a hard time telling how well I did on this months mission. I am not getting up as early as I want, however I am only sleeping for 8 hours instead of 10 which is good. I have decided to change my bedtime and thus my get up time. Obviously, this monthly mission is going to continue to be a work in progress.

@ erosan – Haha, busted! But good that you’re aware, and you have the right attitude. Keep trying!

@ Shelby – That’s great! So glad you’re feeling better. Sleep is so important – it changes *everything*!

@ Kat – Oh I hope you’re right. I hope I hope I hope!

@ Stephanie – yay, I was wondering about you. =) Glad to hear that you’ve had such a shift. That truly is a remarkable change. And exercise is so important. I’m still working on that one myself . . .

@ Shango – AWESOME! Nailed it, that’s what I like to hear. =D I used to do that back in college when I was a bit of a boozer. I’d quit for the entire month of finals every quarter. Felt good to reset, take a step back. Let me know how the second month goes, k?

@ saundra – That is wonderful news! Sounds like you are making great steps, moving steadily n the right direction. And it’s so great that you can see it’s positive effect immediately in your life – and in your kids’ lives!

SUCH GREAT WORK everyone! I hope you all can keep it up. Feel free to keep checking in, because I’ll be thinking about all of you!
