I was recently contacted by Vegan Outreach and offered the help of a mentor to continue on my journey. While I am not vegan (not yet at least), I reached out to them today and asked if there may be a lacto-ovo vegetarian mentor who has experience with fitness and weight training. I am excited to hear back from them.
Last year, with 40 looming, I decided that in order to practice compassionate eating, and compassion towards all living things, I must also practice compassion towards myself. It is easy to get caught up in the day to day grind and forget that. I made a commitment to at least try to remember. I started to put myself first, and slowly but surely, I began to give myself the gift of a fit lifestyle.
Below is a progress photo of my fitness journey as a vegetarian. I am proud to share it with you, and hope to share even more progress over the next year to show just what is possible as a vegetarian. Hoping I can work with Vegan Outreach to accomplish even more as a 41 year old!
