Veganuary 2026

January is less than 12 hours away and Veganuary begins at midnight: one month of veganism. No meat or dairy products. 

I did this last year, resulting in some fitness gains. I’ve probably eaten more veg over the rest of 2025 than in any other year since moving out in 2010 too, so it seems to have had an effect on me. 

This time, I’m doing Veganuary again but will also cut down on the grains: the bread, the porridge. The emphasis will be on vegetables and recipes. I currently weigh 80.5kg, way too much. 72.2 is the goal. A few 5km runs, pump and circuit classes, vegan recipes and soups should set me in good stead. Furthermore, I’m going to set up the chinup bar again and see if I can beat some old records: 170 dips, 20 underhand chinups, 23 overhand chinups. I also want to try a few vegan restaurants, so expect meetups held in that kind of place. As the emphasis is health and fitness, I’ll be doing dry January too. No alcohol for a month. 

You know who else is doing Veganuary? Private Joker from Full Metal Jacket, or Matthew Modine!
