Becoming a vegetarian AGAIN!

January 1-31 2009

Day 8-31

This one isn't really exciting but it was really good and starchy! Rice and beans, Salad and mash po' taters.  A latina girl always doubles the starches.


Here is a picture of a delicious meal Andrew cooked! Shrimp w/fettucine and salad.

I have to say the tough part is not giving up the meat. The tough part is actually writing about it.   I've had a lot to eat since the last time i've blogged.  Some good, some bad, some boring, some that looked good and once you taste it...YUCK.  I am not sure if I already mentioned I purchased vitamins.  Take one a day, it keeps the doctor away.  I thought I would feel some extra energy after taking vitamins but NOPE. 

Day 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7

Ok, So I slacked off for a few days. This is what I have been up to.  I ended up purchasing a multi-vitamin and I think it's actually giving me some energy.  For the past few days I have eaten tuna fish with onions and potatoes and white rice.  It might sound strange but It tastes really good! Then again if you had an ecuadorian mom that knows how to make it.  I keep forgetting to take pictures of my food.  I can't remember everything I've eaten but today Joe from JJ's catering came by and he brought some YuMMY Tilapia! It was breaded with panko. I tell ya' it was amazing especially with the sauce he made. For Dinner today I had some rice and beans. I think I really need to talk to a nutritionist to see what I need to purchase to stay healthy.  But then again I can't go wrong eating Doritos and Oreo cookies which by the way I almost barfed up last night.  I ate way too many! I'm going to try to post some more interesting things. Even though I only have one follower....thanks E and J!


Day 2

Thank Goodness! I am not big on eating sausage and bacon for breakfast.  I am all good with just having scrambled eggs, toast and coffee.  I am still eating dairy because I am not a vegan.  Vegans do not eat any type of living creature or any type of food that comes from them. I still drink milk, eat eggs, and put mayo on my tuna etc.  For Din Din, we went to eat at a Thai restaurant in BK called Fulton Thai.  It was pretty good. Shrimp with basil, bamboo shoots, onions and mushrooms with white rice.  I forgot my camera so I wasn't able to take a picture of the meal.  In the end topping it with Thai iced tea and for dessert fried banana with ice cream. Day two was a success! 


Continuation of Day 1

On my first night I was looking forward to eat some salmon with rice and mash potatoes. But unfortunately I didn't like the taste of the fish. TOO fishy! It was just carbs for the night. Yummy! I need to remind myself to buy some vitamins. I did enjoy eating my favorite DORITOS for dessert though.


Day 1

Yes folks! Here I am again trying to be a vegetarian all over again.  I tried it about a year and a half ago and it went pretty well.  I was off the beef and poultry for a little over six months. Somehow I slipped and I don't remember exactly how it happened.  If you are wondering why? Well it's pretty simple.  My love for animals is greater then my love for meat. Don't get me wrong I love to eat some good ol' roast beef or yummy baked chicken.  But I just refuse to eat it in the conditions that we do. Imagine that juicy savory chicken breast on your plate!  Then imagine how all those chickens were slaughtered. Hundreds, no thousands, One by one getting their throats slashed.   They never felt the sun on their back or grass on their feet.  Don't get me wrong. I'm not totally against eating animals just as long as they had a chance to be free.  Below is a video that initially made me want to stop eating animals.
