MakingMine

J and I finally took the time this weekend to watch a documentary that’s been on our list for months - Forks over Knives. It was an incredibly enlightening view on exactly how the diet decisions we make daily have a longterm impact on our overall health. We both really enjoyed the film and had some pretty major takeaways. If you haven’t seen it, we highly recommend watching it. It’s available to stream via Netflix, and their website has some additional options for viewing.

We both want to make a significant change in our lifestyle and are working on a plan to implement a plant-based, whole foods diet. If the past year has taught us anything about jumpstarting a change, we know that we need a plan. Random and impulsive decisions don’t have much longevity and are the perfect storm of imminent failure. The past few days have been about absorbing as much research as possible to make truly mindful decisions about what is best for us as a family.

So no, I haven’t ravaged our pantry and freezer throwing away anything and everything that contains animals :)

We’re taking small steps and adding vegan components to our diet while slowly removing animal-based foods. Today we’re starting the first phase of our journey. I’ll take some time this week to share our long-term (continually revised) plan with you all.
