When Erin and I got married, we had all these wooden painted signs decorating our reception. "All because two people fell in love," for example, and a bunch of others like it. Interestingly, only one made its way back to our home, as a keepsake to remind us of the special day:

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 ...

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 ...
