I think I'm going to announce this on my blog in a day or so, but starting tomorrow I am going to go vegetarian for at least 30 days (maybe [...]

Shroom Burgers

Happy hump day, ladies and gents.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing vegan professional triathlete and Thrive author Brendan Brazier!  He was very friendly and down-to-Earth, and showed no sign of irritation at having to spend 25 minutes of his rockstar Ironman life talking to some peon-schmuck blogger.  So go ahead and put me in [...]

When Did Exercise Become My Idea of a Vacation?

Good morning and happy Saturday everyone!  Hope you've enjoyed the first two guest posts.  I'm checking in from Hilton Head Island, on our third day of vacation.  And so far, so good–I've been neither sitting on my ass nor eating lots of steaks and chickens.  In fact, quite the opposite.  There is an amazing network [...]

Anniversaries, and a Movie You Must See

Three-Month Veggie-versary!
Yesterday marked the anniversary of two momentous No Meat Athlete events, if there is such a thing.  First and foremost, it was the three-month anniversary of my new diet!  Actually, three months ago is when I turned pescetarian; it was still another month or so before I stopped eating fish.  So big ups to [...]

Chobani Greek Yogurt Giveaway

Sounds like most of the challengers are sticking with it!  I was a little concerned that not many comments were coming in, thinking you had all bailed on me.  Then I remembered that I didn't post yesterday until almost five P.M., so it was my fault for throwing off everyone's routine.  Anyway, if you're wavering, [...]

Tomato Pesto and a Near Dough-Disaster

Today marks two weeks since I've had any caffeinated coffee!  This 30-Day Challenge has definitely made me realize one thing–30 days is a long time.  When I first committed to this, I was worried that it wouldn't really be enough time to break the habit.  But let me tell you, these first two weeks have [...]
