Heidi minus the Meat Anniversary!


Today marks the four month anniversary of my being a vegetarian, I mean, a pescetarian (veggie who still eats fish).  It has been an interesting adjustment but I have to say that I have never felt better in my life.  It's funny too because at first I didn't have any cravings at all for meat but interestingly enough in the last month I would say, I have thought that a nice steak sounds good or a big hunk of chicken breast meat, BUT, I am not going to do it.  

It has probably been more interesting trying to find alternatives and ensuring I am still getting the proper nutrition.  I would say that I eat a LOT better now than I did when I was a meat eater.  When you eat meat there are so many probabilities for getting lower quality/grade food and meat.  Who knows where that chicken came from or what kinds of qualifiers the vendor has in picking out their meat.  There are some places that know there are a lot of conscious meat eaters out there and buy organic or free-range and I think that is great but this not eating meat thing is really working out for me.

Just a quick post about my feelings on that.  Now - back to school work!!
