So I have decided to try out becoming a vegetarian. I have literally been considering it since I was 13, but every time I try it usually lasts a week... all I eat are green beans and junk food and then I cave.
Sigh. I am so torn on the issue. I don't see anything wrong with eating meat. But knowing the amounts of chemicals that are in meat, the inhumane ways that the animals are treated... and the fact that meat just really isn't good for you... it all adds up. One of the girls I work with at the restaurant is doing her Masters Degree in food and nutrition right now that I asked her if she could help me work up a plan for eating properly and getting all of the protein I need.
I have also decided that I will continue to eat fish. That may not last... but I'm going with it for now.
So.... in on February 1st I am going to try out Vegetarianism for a month and see how easy it is, how I like it and most importantly how it makes me feel. That is one thing I have learned in the last year from a book I read... every time you eat something you need to sit back when you are done and think about how you feel... do you feel full? Do you feel sick? Do you feel tired?
I also went to GoVeg.com today and ordered a free "Vegetarian Starter Kit" which provides me with free recipes, grocery lists and tips on how to make the transition.
I am trying to convince Nick do try this out with me. I don't know if it will work.
The last day in January I will try the meatlovers Skillet for the first time at Smitty's. And then Nick and I will go to the Keg. Who knows... that could be my last steak ever.
Except Tuna Steak.
Man, I love fish
