I finally got that vegan tattoo

A few weeks ago I finally got my vegan tattoo, here is the proof.

I'm Still Vegan

Just a quick update, I am still vegan and you can find my much more frequent updates over on Google+

Luscious Red Velvet Moist Chocolate Cake

So my first birthday since going vegan last October and luckily I was not cake-less thanks to this Luscious Red Velvet Moist Chocolate Cake recipe and my dear old mum.

It's so good.

Argh!!! McDonald's

When I went veggie and later vegan, I chose not to exclude food from places such as McDonald's and other fast food chains as I a) like the food and b) sometimes need the convenience.  I often have to order a slightly modified vegetarian option i.e. no mayo etc.

Today my friend went to a McDonald's drive through and I ordered a Spicy Veggie Wrap without mayo.  I am happy to report it came without mayo but unfortunately after I bit into it I discovered it came without the veggie patty too, it was chicken (I spat it out without swallowing any of it and my friend ate the rest).

At first I gave them the benefit of the doubt assuming it could have been a misunderstanding and they thought my friend ordered the chicken, but the receipt below clearly shows the veggie wrap.

So today ended my run of 334 days without having parts of a dead animal in my mouth, thanks McDonald's.  I either need to inspect my food more carefully in future or just avoid McDonald's.

I completed my first triathlon

I ran in my first triathlon today, I had fun and was on a high for ages after.  Not got the energy or words to explain it so feel free to browse the photo album by clicking the picture below.

I didn't make this but I'm sure going to eat it.  Recipe can be found at http://cashewcatering.co.uk/john_bailey_vegetarian_vegan_wedding_catering_blog/?p=224

I am doing a triathlon Sunday, "thanks" veganism

I have my first ever triathlon on Sunday, a sprint distance which is a 750 metre swim, a 20 kilometre bike and a 5 kilometre run.  I never would have had the energy or drive to do this before I went vegan but now I do.  I am doing it for a great charity, All Dogs Matter.

In 2007 I was 22 stone 2 lbs.  In August 2011 I was 19 stone.  I went vegan, I got into exorcising and now this morning I weigh 15 stone 0 lbs.  Want to read more about my weight loss, see Ralph is helping me change my life - Barry Scott

Roll on Sunday, wish me luck.
