Meet up bike ride

This is a great thing. I started a meet up bike ride group and it is taking off like crazy. The second day and three people have already signed up. The more people that ride the more people that stay off the couch! I cannot wait to meet all the people that are getting involved. Back soon......

I am sooooo excited!

I did something today that I am so excited about I can hardly stand it! I started a meet up group for bike riders. I already have my first four meetings set. It is going to be great. Having people come and ride together will really motivate me and everyone involved.

Been a few days

I have been busy! I think this has been the best weekend socially for me in a long time. I do stand up comedy,(if I didn't mention that before). Well, I met a well known comedian this weekend and he gave me his cell and said to call him when i come into his town and we could get together.That was a great thing for me. This guy is a comedic allstar. He is incredible on stage and he is someone to really listen to. Anyway, about Vegan life! I have officially went down one pants size! I am shocked. This is a great thing. I have such a long way to go before I will be where I would like to be physically, but that is really not the issue. What is more important is that I am still living Organic and Vegan and loving it! This is a great lifestyle. My eating habits are becoming so habitual. I just do certain things now everyday without really thinking about them.For instance, I know every morning I am eating fruit. It doesnt matter what fruit, just that I know this and do not think of doing anything different is great. I have it sitting around all the time. Rice,Tofu,greens,grains,veggies they are always withing reach and sitting somewhere. Its amazing how junkfood can be so easily replaced. I have also realized something else. There is Veagn junk food too!! So many people have this impression of Vegans that everything is lettuce and tomatoes and carrots. But do you like pop tarts?No meat so vegatarians eat them. Taco bell? bean burritos are for vegatarians. Hey isnt that amazing that vegatarians can eat at taco bell?! There is more to it than that though isnt there? Yes, you know there is. Its about accountability to living creatures all over this planet. Its about treating yourself good . Have you ever done the salt count on taco bell stuff.?Have you ever seen how many ingredients are in a pop tart? What it boils down to is good old commen sense. Do you know that what your eating used to walk this earth? DONT EAT IT!! Did you know that the fish you eat had the ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER FISH WITHOUT USING WORDS LIKE US? It did until it was taken from its home and cut open and killed. I officially refuse to live in a type of lifestyle that only lives because animals are being horribly tortured and killed and then eaten buy us. It feels good to know that there is nothing dying so I can survive.

Moving my feet

I started to walk this week and it has really made a difference. I feel better with just a week into it. Not much to say today. Going to a Vegan dinner tonight, that will be fun.

My wife Christy and Daughter Katie




An impression has been made!!!!

I cannot believe this has happened! what a great step foward. My wife who was raised a deticated meat eater, actually approached me yesterday and ask me if she could go to the organic market with me and see whats there!! Wow! I instantly said , of course! So that night we met at the store and walked around just looking at different products. She asked me questions and I gladly answered. By the end of the evening she had dinner there. I was on cloud nine. Finally some support from her. Later on that night she ask we if I thought she could actually live the Vegan lifestyle!Of course I said yes.Well, to say the least in that area of my venture this is a huge step.Until next time.....

Its a loose day!!

Man this is awsome! I actually feel my pants fitting better. I guess that means I am starting to loose a little weight. An added benefit to living kind.. I was in a rush today when I left the house and I did not prepare anything for my lunch or snacks. Being the fact that I am on the road for my work I was hoping that I would be able to swing back in to my house later and get some lunch. Well, I was really busy but was still able to get back and fix myself something but had to do it in a hurry. I was amazed of how quickly and easily I found what I needed to prepare without really thinking about it. I had a great lunch it was totally Vegan and it only took 15 minutes to make. I was stoked! That means I am kinda getting in the groove of things.I signed up for membership with PETA today and am happy about that. Its amazing as you live a certain lifestyle that you begin to notice things around you that have to do with that lifestyle. I guess it is like when you buy a car then all of a sudden you start seeing that car everywhere you look.This is a good thing though. Seeing needs is a very good thing. I was pumping gas today in my truck and I saw an elderly man start to walk around his car but he did not see the gas hose apparently and fell over it. I ran over to him and he was still on the ground. I helped him up and made sure he was ok. The one thing that struck me was is that he seemed shocked that I helped him. Is that crazy or what!? Doesn't it seem that we should NOT be suprised when someone helps us? Another sad testimony to human nature, but it made me feel good to help. I probably sound corny but it feels so good to be living this way. Until tommorow....
