I've decided to take a journey. This journey will have to be a day by day commitment for me. Over the course of the next few weeks, I'm committing to try the vegetarian lifestyle.
I'm not even considering veganism yet and perhaps never.
Here's what I am committing too eating...or not eating.
For the next week I will not eat......chicken
......beef
......lamb
......turkey
......crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster)
......or any other meat
I will still eat...................................eggs
...................................fish
...................................butter
...................................cheese
I plan on sharing my dietarian eating habits with you, my readers, as a way to hold me accountable. Also, if you have an recipes I would love for you to send them my way. (I really like this recipe from one of my sponsors "Happy in Life, Young in Love." It's a Black Bean Burger. Yum.)
I really believe this is going to be fun and I would love to hear your journey about eating or any other lifestyle change.
What's a lifestyle change you're working on?
Good luck on your new food journey! I am your newest follower!

Yay! Glad you're here and thank you for the encouragement.
DeleteGood luck with the change!
ReplyDeleteI am on what I previously would have called a "diet" journey, but is now a lifestyle change. Eating healthier and walking.
Very good for you. Keep it up.
DeleteI was a vegetarian for a year when I was a teenager! It was easier than I thought it would be! I did it for "moral" reasons, I was making a point, basically... and I eventually got hungry enough for bacon to stop... BUT, I wish you the best of luck! It's something I would love to do again, permanently! Looking forward to journey!
ReplyDeleteBacon is going to be a tough one...and shrimp. I really love shrimp.
DeleteI've been contemplating this change too lately. I don't feel great and I know my horrible dietary habits area part of the problem. Good for you! I'll be following along!
ReplyDeleteYou should do it. I'll help you if you help me.
DeleteAwesome! You will feel like a new person! I felt more energized just 2-3 days after I stopped eating meat!
ReplyDeleteI am your girl!! :) Thanks for the shout out!

You're welcome. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need all the help I can get on this.
Deletei was juuuust thinking of trying this today. i'll have to follow your journey then decide!
ReplyDeleteSounds good. I'll look for ya!
DeleteI have some great recipes that I love! I am not vegetarian but I make meatless dishes all the time. I will email them over to you! Good Luck and I am proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will love trying them out.
DeleteThis sounds like a great idea. I was watching "Thor" last night and I turned to my husband and said: "You know why Natalie Portman is so skinny? It's because she's a vegan."
ReplyDeleteOf course, that's not the only good thing about it!
Though I stay away from meat as much as possible, I have never gone vegan or vegetarian. But in all my nutrition research, books, and classes (I'm in nursing school) there are so many health benefits to it! Just make sure you're eating the right fruits, vegetables, grains, or supplements to make up for the lack of meat.
Good luck! xoxo
Thank you. I was at the health store last night and one of the cashiers said that she was a vegetarian for a year, but she had to quit because she wasn't taking the correct supplements.
DeleteOoh! I will have to follow your blog! I've been trying to eat a more plant-based diet, although I have a long way to go. So, any great recipes will be much appreciated! :) Glad to have found you through the GFC hop!
