To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong
So I've decided that I want to try being at least a vegetarian if not a vegan. Today is my 2nd day without meat. I don't know when the last time I had fried food was. And so far today I haven't had any dairy products. I'm gonna work on getting meat out of my life first and every week, I'm gonna get rid of something else. I actually bought soymilk a week ago cuz I had decided to take dairy out of my diet, though I've had cheese since then. But like I said! One week at a time. I want fried chicken so bad though! ;_; lol But that's life. I want a happy, healthier me! ^_^
I'm gonna try to go to BR Thursday to see if there's anything at Whole Foods & Fresh Market that isn't too terribly expensive. This is supposed to be my Japan check, but I can't count on my family to try to help me out with my new lifestyle. -_-; I'm trying to get my mom to flirt with being a vegetarian b/c I know how badly she wants to change the way she eats, but it's really hard. I can't even get her to stop at one cookie. I mean, they were sitting on the counter and I didn't touch them except to put them in a ziploc bag & put them back in the pantry. I didn't even lick my fingers of the chocolate! I washed my hands after. And she made brownies yesterday and I didn't eat any of those either. I think I'm doing pretty good at resisting temptation though I did have a Twix yesterday. But this is my no meat week, not my no dairy and chocolate week. lol
I need to learn to cook with tofu. I can get that easily and it's a good source of protein. Dangit! I need Erika to come visit! She was supposed to teach me how to make miso soup from scratch! Poo. We shall see how fake chicken & hamburger taste.
This was my horoscope the other day:
You are driven toward success now, but you may not be ready to make all the sacrifices required to accomplish your objectives. Still, you could do your share of deep soul-searching today as you consider narrowing your ambitions by setting aside some of the less realistic parts of your plan. It's crucial to be pragmatic, but don't let anyone talk you out of your vision. Hold on to your core beliefs, even while they are being honed in the fire of everyday practice.
This, I believe, applies more to my plans concerning Japan, but it can work for my vegetarian attitude too.
The simple truth and meaning of life is just this: Be your fuckin' self, and don't make any apologies.
From the fic "But Then My Homework Was Never Quite Like This" and I can't find the author's name at the moment...
