You guys, I’m really proud of myself today.

Yes, I stayed in bed too long waiting for the gym to open. Any of you who have been following me for a while will know that I have serious issues running, but I’m trying to train myself to run.

Today, I finally ran a mile straight without stopping. Yeah it’s only a mile, but I have never done more than half a mile straight without a walking break. And it was on an incline too!

To top that off, when I got back to my room after my full workout, I had reached 5000 followers. I am feeling many things: flattered, amazed, overwhelmed… A little confused because, let’s face it, I’m kind of a bitch…

But anyway, thank you all so much for following and sticking with me all this time. Thank you new followers for checking it out. Thank you to ALL of you who have told me you have gone vegan with the help of this blog.

Please know I am always here for help of you need it, advice if you want it, and pointing you in the right direction of information (or recipes!) you need to stay healthy, stay compassionate, and live well.
