I did move in the right direction with my new diet though, with the exception of the doughnut for breakfast (Patrick had an early morning fire call, so after, he went and filled up my car and brought me home coffee and a doughnut.....i couldn't just not eat it, that would have just been rude.) I had a light salad for lunch and a meatless stirfry for dinner.
I'm trying to cut back on animal and animal byproducts. I don't intend on cutting them out entirely, that would be far too difficult, but I do want to cut back substantially.
my reason being, that I've done some reading and animal products are not all that great for you, they aren't bad, but if i can do without, why not?
Patrick will not be participating in this experiment, while I ate stir-fry with tofu, yellow squash, zucchini and noodles, he ate steak....and I made it for him too! aren't I such a kind wife!?!
Making him a separate meal didn't clutter me up at all either, I put his meal in the crock pot this afternoon, when I was making my dinner all I had to do was pull it out and plate it. easy!
most nights we will eat the same thing and I'll just omit meat from mine, I'll eventually want him to hop on the bandwagon with me, but he's just not there yet.
all that being said, I'm not committing to an indefinite no red meat diet. :)
I do plan on eating the occasional chicken and turkey, and very rare appearance of pork.
Another motivation is that half of my family is already vegetarian, they have so many good ideas and creative dishes that they make, so why not!? I want my family to live out the healthiest diet/ lifestyle that we can so if it's not going to kill me or make me unhappy, why not?
