Once again today will see me start my annual Dry January, the 37th consecutive year. My ‘record’ was two years dry around the time we moved to Spain, and this year I am going to do three months as part of my ongoing health kick and lifestyle change.
This year will also be the year I go 100% Vegan. I have been thinking about it for sometime as increasingly I can not accept any animal being ‘used’ to feed me, and when I turned 60 last year I went vegetarian and have been testing out these last three months viable vegan alternatives.
There are going to be some items that I just cut out as I haven’t found attractive alternatives but in general these are no bad thing, and I accept I may well put more processed food into the old body, but I am comfortable that this will be more than compensated by the extra amounts of natural foods I consume.
It will be a challenge, but I feel that is the right thing for me, and combined with my efforts to get fit, and play cricket and golf this will be primarily about mindset, focus and discipline another challenge I am looking forward to.
