My 30 Day Challenge

I was so sad to have missed Freelee's 30 day vegan challenge by mere days so I am starting my own.

July 9th- Day 1

August8th- Day 30

 I feel so passionately about this way of life that the number 30 is almost unnecessary but life is a journey and this is my first step.  I'll use this post to share all my meal photos and exercise stats and I'd love any tips to improve upon my thriving regime.  

Peace, Love and Kiwis
