Official Day 1

Wow. I'd just like to point out that I've posted more here today then I have on my other blogs in like a month! HA!

Anyway, today was the official start of NO MEAT. I keep using something they mentioned in the book: telling yourself that it's not like you can't have it. You can have it if you want. You just don't want it. It's actually amazing that it works...as soon as you think you can't have something you want it. But if you realize that there is no one stopping you, it makes it a lot easier.
I totally made myself look like some crazy carnivore. I'm not.
Just sayin'

So today was good. I ate lots of veggies and fruit and not so much refined sugars (more on that in later posts). I drank water. Although I should have drank more. Overall I didn't drink much today. Not even tea...my nemisis.

I bought some tofu. I've had it before and knew what I was in for, but thought that maybe just maybe I was over my "issues." I'm not.
I have issues with textures. I ate a few bites of tofu that I cooked in with one hell of a stir fry...then I started gagging. I had to feed the rest of it to the dog. He liked it.
It was hard because at that moment I really felt like "I can't do this. I'm not made to eat like this". But I am. It's not all about tofu. So what if I don't like it? It's not the be all and end all of becoming a vegetarian.
I also talked to my sister in law who is a vegetarian and currently transitioning into becoming a vegan. She has been helpful to say the least. I just wish she was closer! She lives in Alberta :( I've also made the call to hook up with a nutritionist.

Anyway, for a day one, this is good. But I can't live on Booster Juice with Protein Boosters everyday right?
