Going Vegetarian

Today has been a decisive day. I've decided to go vegetarian after the Easter Holiday to become a healthier individual. My decision to change over has been long over due, I think I was just to lazy to act on it. I'm no preparing myself for the transition; which I know will be tough, but lead to a healthier lifestyle in the future.  

Since my foot surgery I haven't been able to run, now that I'm almost done with Physical Therapy I'm ready to get back into marathon training with Justin. I know he is ready too! Although he has not gone on the quest of vegetarianism with me, he too wants to be in great shape. 

Wish us luck!!

Here are a few vegetarian facts & statistics for thought!
