Vegetarian!

Man!! These last few weeks have been ridiculously crazy!! I've been sick mostly, but also working and trying to keep up with Math. Life lately, while hectic, has been absolutely perfect. J and I have been getting along very well and have been each other's partner in crime. B is still doing great! It amazes me at how much one can thrive if given the right circumstances. I know choices are choices and can affect life in either a positive or negative aspect, but its nice to see her making good decisions. 

I mentioned last time that I've been researching the idea of vegetarianism. Well I'm proud to tell you that as of today I am officially a vegetarian! I have also had 2 days without meat and I feel amazing! I've been asked why I want to be a veg head and for a little while I wasn't sure. I don't agree with animal cruelty, however its not a strong enough belief to give up meat. The main reason I've given up meat is for health reasons. I just discovered through this experiment that when giving up meat, my stomach aches go away. I've also discovered that I no longer feel sluggish and tired. Lets not even bring up the grain they're fed and all the antibiotics meat animals are injected with. Its just a hot mess that I want nothing to do with anymore. I currently have no cravings for meat, but Im sure the day will come when I do. I just hope I can find enough recipes that I love to help keep those at bay.

Yesterday the fam and I went to Aladdins - and I tried some new foods. I learned that I do not care for falafel or Greek salad dressing. I'm not so much proud that I don't like - but that I even tried them. A big secret about J and I - up until recently, we've eaten like toddlers. The same foods over and over a gain with no real culinary variety or nutrients for that matter. I'm a bit ashamed of it yes, but it's the truth and I've moved on.  I plan to keep you all up to date on the most recent developments with my new diet and all the positives and negatives that come from it!
