Veggie Challenge 2009!!!!!!!!!

Veggie Challenge 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This challenge started with me asking Paige if maybe she would like to go vegan for a bit, and she said she would try.  She even made a thread about it.  This time, though, I'll make it in levels:
LEVEL ONE: EASY.  Try cutting out red meat for a week.
LEVEL ONE: MODERATE.  Try going vegetarian for a week.
LEVEL ONE: HARD.  Try going vegan for a week.
LEVEL TWO: EASY.  Try cutting out red meat for a month.
LEVEL TWO: MODERATE.  Try going vegetarian for a month.
LEVEL TWO: HARD.  Try going vegan for a month.
LEVEL THREE: Yowza.  Level three would be too hard, anyway. :)
DO YOU ACCEPT A CHALLENGE?
If yes, choose which challenge you feel ready to do.  Post your progress on this thread!
Let's get going!!!!!!!!!! :)
NOTE: If you need help or support, ask and it will be given.

I have already gone as far as I CAN go, that is, I'm a veggie all the time, but I'm not allowed to be vegan. :/  Not enough protein, my Dad says.

Have you heard of Earth Balance? It's this purely vegtable oil butter replacement that my family uses. Oh, and I'll have to do it next week, I'm failing to remember it.

Sorry, I tried last time but *whimpers* failed! (all because my mom HAD to make some chile that night!) Plus I really need protein, and I don't know what else to eat! Sorry BellaTrix! Maybe some other time. :)

That's okay. :)

But I'm sure I wrote "Tank" . . . *frown*  Admin, did you help me?  Or am I hallucinating? :)
 
We do correct spelling sometimes, BellaTrix. You're not hallucinating!
