Ive made up my mind!!!! No more meat!!

Well this New Year, New Me thing just got a whole lot more serious!!! I'm going to 'try' to become a vegetarian! Ive thought about it before, and I'm not a huge fan of meat anyway, but was scared about getting he nutrients another way. I was told it can be difficult so I just continued eating the way I always did. Well come to find out, its not as hard as I thought. I love eggs, peanut butter, nuts, and especially love veggies!!!! The main thing I'm taking out of my diet is protein, and I like all kinds of protein rich foods!

The #1 reason I'm seriously considering this now, is that last night I had dinner with my hubby as usual. We had pork, and pork is the meat I enjoy the most (which isn't saying all that much). I took one bite, and didn't really want it. Then it dawned on me. Every single dinner I make, I eat a couple bites of meat, and finish everything else. I CAN DO THIS!!!! I may miss a juicy burger at a cookout, but that's about it. I love fish, so I may throw that in the mix every now and then, but tonight I'm headed to the grocery store to shop for my new lifestyle!! I'm really excited! More excited about this healthy decision than Ive been about anything since quitting smoking 7 years ago!!!

I will definitely be posting about how easy or difficult this is for me, and my progress along the way with possibly some added weight losss!!! Woohooo
