With the sad ending of Team Marathon Bar, I have turned my hopes to other locations. I am still hoping for a little something from ActiveAmbassadors.com, but there's no telling whether or not that will happen. So, when I received an inviting email about a month or so ago, I immediately responded with a "heck yes!". And this is what I received as a reply to my reply...
If you don't know anything about Vega, take a minute to head on over to their website and look around. In a nutshell, Vega was created by a professional Ironman triathlete (Brendan Brazier) as a means to supplement his plant-based diet while on the road. Vega has grown to a world-wide brand, and continues to grow. And even more than that, Brendan and Vega are doing everything they can to support people who want to work toward adopting a plant-based diet through the Thrive Forward series. This is a free, online series with videos and spreadsheets to help explain the benefits of eating cleaner.
I first came across Vega a few years ago when a guy I work with had a tub of this funny plant-based protein. I gave it a try, and to my surprise, it was delicious! I didn't really think too much of it at the time though. Fast forward to about a year and a half ago. My wife and I decided to adopt a mostly plant based diet. Not knowing a lot about what we were doing, I searched the internet for how to go about being an athlete that was mostly plant based. I almost immediately came across Vega. I recalled my previous experience with Vega and knew I had found the promised land.
But why take supplements if I'm supposedly eating so healthy? Because life is life, and in all reality, it's pretty stinkin' tough to have a varied enough diet to be able to get EVERYTHING that your body needs. I do my best, but there's bound to be areas that I fall short with such a busy schedule. But, thanks to Vega, I know that I am getting the nutrients that I miss, and still getting them from plant-based sources.
I'm not too sure what all Team Vega is going to entail, because I'm still waiting for my welcome package to show up. But as soon as I know, I'll let you know! In the mean time, why don't you go check out that Vega website!
