Vegetarianism Again, With A Side Of Fish
 

So after gaining too much weight back that I had lost last year, and realizing I was eating far too much crap (i.e. fast food), I have yet again decided to try and go back to vegetarianism. I am, however, allowing myself to eat fish. Odd really, as I don’t know what has me on this fish kick lately. I haven’t really had fish since I was a kid and my mom gave me fish sticks. Eventually I just stopped eating them, and fish, all together. Well no, I would eat my mom’s tuna noodles, that was about it.

I decided to give vegetarianism a try again for two weeks and see how I feel. Last time I tried this I quit after one week when it packed pounds on. I think I need to stick it out for 2 weeks though for the body to get used to the changes. I tend to eat a lot of pasta and breads, which is more carbs than normal, so I think my body has to adjust to the change :)

After 2 weeks I’m going to evaluate how I feel and if it’s something I want to continue. From a health standpoint it is something I want to continue, I just have to get there will power wise! I’ve done it before for 7 years, I can do it again. I have stocked up on tons of veggie foods, including things not even available back when I was a vegetarian. The Morning Star Farms bacon is heavenly!

I also just got the EA Sports Active game today. It comes with a 30 day challenge, which is a preset workout for you every day for 30 days. I am dedicating myself to doing it as well. Thoughts on this game after a week of use, so I can evaluate which exercises I think are the best. I already did it today and after 25 minutes I was pooped!

You’ll know soon enough what your body will adjust to. What a well thought out plan! If you think about it–when you craved those Five Brothers or McDonalds biscuits–you usually had a stomach revolt within a few days. So maybe there is somethihg to your choices. Just watch all those spices you use on your telapia!
Not a bad time of the year to switch–more fresh veggies and fruit available.

Good luck with your life style changes!

I love veggies! Unfortunately, I love them slathered in butter.

Okay – completely unrelated – but I just found your blog (through Puntabulous).
I loooooove Wonder Woman and your review of the DVD was spot on.
And I loooove horror movies. You got to meet Betsy Palmer? Jealous. I can’t wait for Drag Me to Hell.

Drop most of the pasta and bread in your vegetarianism to avoid packing on the pounds. Veggies are high in fiber so it’s almost impossible to overeat on a vegetable diet. The key to a successful vegetarian diet is LOTS of variety.

I recommend buying a vegetarian cookbook and going through 1 new recipe a day!
