More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

I eat vegan because it is the right food for humans and it is helping me to lose weight. So far I've lost 42.5 pounds. Still have long way to go.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

Totally unaware if there are any vegan or vegetarian restaurants where I live. Wouldn't mind connecting with other vegans in my area.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:

I'm not a world traveler but I've been a couple of interesting places in my lifetime, so far. I am still amazed with Niagara Falls! I loved Yellowstone Park -- and Montana. I love the Bonneville Salt Flats -- you never know whether it will be a salty desert or a lake. I love driving the canyons near Salt Lake City where I lived for a while. I love driving the farm country of Ohio with its neat and pretty Amish farms, around where I grew up. I love driving around and looking at the lights of Christmastime in Atlanta, Stone Mountain, and Snellville areas. Don't have current plans for much travel. I am a home body. If I need to escape I just hop in the car and head out. I take my GPS so I can find my way home. Ha Ha!

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

Favorite Sandwich: Ezekial 4:9 Sesame bread with p-nut butter, tomatoe, onion, lots of lettuce, and creole mustard! Favorite Recent Meal: Rice with steamed: sweet potato, kale, corn, okra, red pepper, onion, garlic, curry powder.

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:

I write Bible Studies for a small group of friends -- but I am more likely to watch a vegan or health teacher on YouTube than to read a book. That's how I became a vegan. I started off in September of 2015 just cutting out the sugar for 10 days. Then in November I watched "The Truth About Cancer" and reduced the amount of meat I ate and increased the veggies. Then in the middle of January I simply dropped out the meat and there I was: a vegan. I didn't actually plan it... it is more like I tried a little of this and that and ended up there. I'm happy. Especially about the weight loss.
