Vlog | 31 Day Raw Vegan Challenge

Well, hello there, darlings. Hello, hello, hello. This April Mason here. Listen, I am— have been challenged to do a 31-day raw vegan diet. Yes, yes, yes. So I decided to document it, and I'm actually headed to a vegan restaurant right now to pick up 2 days worth of food because on Monday, hopefully over the weekend, I would have found a vegan prep. It was sudden. It was like, oh Okay, you keep saying you want to get right, do a 31-day vegan challenge. So I can do the raw vegan challenge, so I can do raw, but on Thanksgiving I can only do vegetarian. I have to do a soul food, a vegan soul food dinner. So I said, okay, I can do this, I can do this. This is what I've learned: in order to get a different result, you have to change not only your mindset but your routine. Everything has to be intentional. You have to intentionally make shifts, even if they're uncomfortable. Uncomfortable. So for me to wake up and get that challenge, and I'm like, okay, let's do it today. And I hadn't eaten yet. I think I had some green juice, or no, I had some green tea this morning, so I hadn't eaten. So I'm like, all right, well, let's try it. So there's quite a few vegan restaurants here in Atlanta, so I just made a couple phone calls and I'm on my way to pick up some food. So make sure you stay tuned because I'm going to show you what I'm doing. Y'all pray for me because my issue really isn't me eat. Uh, it's more cakes and things. And someone told me that you can make a vegan cheesecake. I need somebody to find me that recipe, or find somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that can make that for me, and I'll be all right. Because I don't— I can't tell you the last time I had like fried chicken. Um, I can't tell you the last time I had ribs. I haven't had pork chops in years. Uh, I really don't eat a lot anyway, so it's not such a huge thing for me to do this. It's just I I'm making a conscious effort to intentionally do, to do this. And you know, normally we're used to having snacks and things, so I can't just pick up some chips and, or, or some crackers or whatnot and have a snack. I have to find a healthier snack. So I'm going to keep you posted. Stay tuned. I'm going to vlog about this experience because I want to be at my, my best health. And I've been wanting to go raw vegan for a long time, but I've been procrastinating. So now I'm just, I just took the plunge. Today was was told, asked today if I wanted to do it, and I just decided today, let's go. So I put it on my Instagram that I'm looking for some, a vegan, a raw vegan meal prep, um, chef. And if you know anyone, tag them on this video, let them know, or send it to them. Um, I'm not looking for anything for free, but I am looking for someone that over this next 4 weeks that can make some delicious raw vegan meals for me so I can decide if this is a lifestyle that I would like to continue. So the type of food that I have, that I experience, will determine that. So love y'all, YouTubers! Stay tuned. Okay, I told y'all I wasn't playing. I said I'm gonna document everything. So I'm here picking up my food. Wait, here's a little salad. I'm gonna give y'all a little breakdown when I get home. And I got all kind of goodies. I have kale salad. I think I have tostadas. I have Sage Burger. And I have— it was something else, I don't know, it was 2 or 3, 3 or 4, I don't know what— and the nachos. So I'll show you guys when I get home, but I'm letting you know that I am for real. I'm, I'm doing this, I'm spending my own money, ain't nobody giving me nothing, ain't nobody, uh, saying, will you do this for some promo? I'm doing it, and I told you guys that I was going to document it. So I'm here at Living It Live here in East Point. Georgia. This East Point, right? Living— say what it said. It's Loving It Live. Loving It Live. Why? Why? Why? See, y'all, she loving it a lot. Loving It Live is why. All right, y'all, I made it home and I'm gonna show you what I got from Loving It Live because I'm not playing no games. When you gotta start, you gotta start, okay? So let me show you what I got. Family, here we go. We started off right. So this is what I got. It's nachos, vegan, raw vegan nachos, tostada, uh, quesadilla, and a Sage Burger, if I'm not mistaken. Okay, that's what I got. So I stopped by the grocery store as well to get some cantaloupe and bananas because, you know, my sweet tooth. So I'm trying, I'm trying. And then I also got a kale salad. And can I open it? A kale salad. We're on our way, people. Okay, y'all, this is really good. If I had fixings like this regularly, I could do this. I could do this. It's good. So day 1. I have a concert tonight, so I'm gonna have to do everything I need to do to make sure if we stop for snacks that I have to get a salad and some water.
