Hey Everyone,
It’s been a while since my last post but thought if there was anytime that I should be writing about my weight loss experience, it’s NOW!
Since the last I was here a few great things have occurred. I am currently the lowest I have been since maybe my first year of high school! It’s amazing to think that and also sort of sad at the same time. To think that I was a young teen and weighed more than anyone should at that age is sad for me! Wish I had the guidance and will-power that I have now, then!
Any who, some of you may know that I’ve dabbled with the idea of giving up meat for some time. And I actually very rarely eat red meat (I have a burger here and there). As you all know, yesterday was Ash Wednesday for the Catholic community and for Lent I will be giving up…you guessed it..MEAT! Not just red meat…ALL MEAT! Say goodbye to steak, chicken, and pork! I am actually really excited about this! I know it’ll be a challenge but I am hoping that I will be able to make a lifestyle change out of this! We will see?!?
And I know often times when people thing of meals with no meat they think this:
or this:
(blah!)
But I am looking forward to meals more like this: (!!!!)
HOLY YUM!!!
Look forward to daily posts of my eats! I’m going to try to keep it very interesting for you all!!
Are you still going to eat Fish?
Hey John! Yes, fish is still going to be part of my diet. I think it’s important to get the Omega 3′s in there. What’s your thoughts on that?
I think its a great idea. It is so much healthier to eat a more fish/vegetable diet. Even chicken can be very high in cholesterol. I know how hard it is to live a healthy lifestyle. I think the best thing to do is to take one day at a time and set small goals for yourself. Good luck.
Thanks John! That’s exactly my plan. One day at a time and truly listening to what my body needs! Keep checking back in for updates!!
