Loving Veg, Snow, Ice, and Puddles

I have to admit. The thought of eating meat (other than fish/seafood based "meat") is starting to take a toll on me. I really can't imagine when my next piece of organic chicken will be. I don't know if I'll ever go back.

It has been so easy to maintain this eating style, and enjoyable as well. While I would like to take it a step further in the future (trying out a Vegan diet as I mentioned once before)I am not ready for it, and am really enjoying the place I am in as of right now.

I thought that I would at least want chicken when I decided to take on this idea, but no, not even chicken. I am quite surprised because staying a vegetarian was never the plan.

Just look at all the wonderful Indian dishes out there. Some do contain meat, but I stick to the meatless ones. Full of curry, ginger, lemon grass, vegetables, protein, soy, so good, and so good for you.



I am feeling wonderful by the way. Since changing around my eating (to veggies) I have ...

- Felt physically better
- Had an easier time eating outside of the house (I know it sounds crazy)
- Tried many new foods by devoting more time to cooking

The reason it has been easier for me to eat outside of the home is because many vegetarian options are also vegan options. That means, no milk (a key look for out me personally). I am lactose intolerant so questioning the milk factor when eating out side the home is always a worry.

Secondly, if there are no meatless options, I stick to a salad. Healthy, delicious, and effortless. I also hardly use dressing and when I do it is olive oil.

Thirdly, I don't have to worry about whether the chicken is breaded or grilled.

Fourthly, I am always getting plenty of fresh, unprocessed, as close to nature as it gets, veggies, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, etc. because what else is there to eat?!

I love to cook, and find my self cooking more and more because if I don't, then I don't always eat a complete me. Complete meal's are number one in my book (I.e. a balanced ratio of protein to carbs to fat). And it isn't just cooking, it's trying new recipes that are delicious and wholesome.

Love it!


Sports Sections ...

A run on the snowy/icy/melting (not so safe)boardwalk this morning. It was beautiful. With much ice and puddle dodging it was fun.



Also, Wii Fit Plus. You don't even need to call it exercise it's so fun! Playing Wii Fit with family and friends is great entertainment, and it gets you moving!
