So I write Vegan, when in fact I'm not. I am what is called a ovo-vegetarian. This means I eat eggs. However, I only eat the eggs produced by my lovely chookies and duckies. I have 3 duckies, 1 (mean, asshole of a) rooster, 4 young hens and 4 senior citizen hens-they are like 10 years old and are very lovely. We call them the 'retired girls'. I also have a beautiful cat Butters, who is seriously the apple of my eye. I love him soooo much and he loves me:)...I also have another cat, Kani, who isn't quite as cool as Butters, but she's still pretty special...Oh I have cockatiel as well who is the most beautiful bird I've met. I don't particularly like birds in cages, but my brother bought it and the abandoned it so Mum and I are looking after him.
Okay so pets, umm chooks, eggs, non-vegan...Oh yeah, so my point-I'm not a proper vegan as such but I do have a very limited intake of animal products (eggs). Basically I have been into the gym since I left highschool in 2005 (despised all forms of PE in school), and have been conscious of my strength and fitness. This year, my friends and I have set (the MASSIVE) challenge of participating in a 100km trek from Mt Glorious to Mt Cootha in Brisbane for Oxfam...I think I have the link somewhere in my old posts.
So I am in 'training' at the moment i.e. I go for jogs/walks at least 4 times a week, plus a cardio and strength based boxing session once a week. I'm hoping that my training will equip me for the trek as I want to be able to pull of such a feat without having consumed copious (well any) amounts of meat or dairy. I will keep everyone posted on how my training goes for 100km and eventual (fingers crossed) completion!
