New Year’s Resolutions

The best New Year’s Resolution I ever made to go to every party I was invited to that year. It was an easy resolution to keep, and it actually did improve my life. In fact, I’ve pretty much kept that resolution ever since. Other years, the resolutions don’t last past the first week. But it’s still worthwhile to think about the things that I want to change.

This year my main resolution is to finally go vegan by March 20, the date of the Great American Meat Out.

This is one of those resolutions I’ve made before and kept for a while before faltering. Perhaps this year will be different. I’ve gotten to the point where there is just one stumbling block - eating away from home. At home, it’s become easy to avoid dairy and eggs; but at restaurants, or when a friend or family member fixes a meal, it can be more difficult. That’s why I didn’t set Jan. 1 as the “start date” - I figure to use the next several weeks to develop strategies for avoiding eggs and dairy products when I eat away from home. Hopefully that will help me stick with it this time.

Readers, are you making any veg-resolutions for 2008?
