Has it only been two weeks?!

It's day 14.
Meat doesn't interest me much anymore, not so much as the strange food cravings I get periodically. Like for sushi. Raw fish.
The fact that my boyfriend didn't come down last weekend like he was supposed to also threw me into a crummy mood+boredom= more alcohol instead of considering meat.
But overall, I feel fine! My stomach is flat. I'm never starving or feel drained.

After my 30 days as a vegetarian, will I stay? Probably not. But we'll see.

MEAT--->ALCOHOL?!

Looking back at the last three days, I realized that instead of having dinner, I've been at bars having happy hour. But barely any food involved. Very interesting, since the meals when I am most tempted to eat meat is dinner time.

Maybe I have subconciously conditioned myself to enjoy drinks instead of meat!

Wow, what's worse, alcohol or meat?!I must slow down and do some research.

By the way, when I woke up this morning I was craving meat. Or anything that tastes like meat. So since my fridge was bare, I made ramen. YES, chicken flavored ramen. I hope I didn't break any vegetarian rules, it's just meat FLAVORED right? Too bad it was a shitty idea cause I felt like throwing it all up on my way to work.

Did you know that a pack of ramen has 380 calories in it?

Vegetarianism

For those of you who are unaware, I have recently decided to 'pledge to go veg'. That means that I am going to stop eating meat for 30 days.
There are many different motives for becoming vegetarian (which I DO eventually want to accomplish, I'm just testing the waters right now). Mine is mostly for health reasons. I will go into detail later, if you really want to know. But mainly, there are so many hormones, toxins, dieases, etc. in meat that hinder your health. And make you fat. I want to detox my body to see what improvements it will bring to my body. Being a Nutrition major, I see this as the next big step in an effort to live better and make smarter food choices.
It has been 8 days so far, and quite an adventure. I have tired so many foods (mostly meat alternatives) that I would never have thought to consider before.
So I'm going to dedicate this blog mostly to my journey of becoming vegetarian.
It's gonna be gooooooooooooooood. ;-D
