I didn't know these threads were here - this is awesome! For August, my husband and I are going to try to be lacto-ovo vegetarian. I've put together a menu of dinners and recipes, including ones that can go either way (spaghetti with/without meatballs) for the days we'll have friends over. We bought a rice cooker, because my husband likes rice almost as well as corn dogs, but hates cooking rice. And we brainstormed vegetarian snackage.

@realignedliving: There is of course no reason that a 30-day trial can't cross monthly boundaries. But I find that my internal clock is already keeping a good feeling for how long I have to go until the end of the month, and I find it easier to be able to use the same gauge of how long to go until the end of the trial. Easier to remember to plan ahead to the next trial. And of course, it puts me on the same schedule as these people, so we can all be in it together. None of those are reasons why you have to wait until August - especially if your internal calendar is easier to program than mine. But since you asked, those are my reasons for waiting. Also, the intervening two weeks since we decided to try vegetarian gave me time to find recipes and plan menus.
