No posting…sorry

I have not posted for a couple of days mostly due to job seeking craziness. I had an interview that went very well, I was sure I had the job and then didn’t get it so I was bummed.

I have managed mostly meat free for the last several days still. I did have a caesar salad with bacon in it one day but I have not had any other meat. I am starting to think more in terms of eating vegetarian. Yesterday I made a pizza with fresh basil, grilled zucchini, tomatos and mozza. It was pretty good although I found it a bit sweet for my taste. Not sure what was sweet…

So all things considered things have been going very well on the vegetarian front. I am going to make some more soup I am just not sure when. Not today I have decided that. I will have pasta for dinner tonight and shrimp for lunch.

Update

Well, I managed another meat free day yesterday!! Yah for me. I did have prawns for dinner but as I have mentioned they don’t have the acid that causes inflammation. However as time goes by I may try to eliminate all animal protein. Bacon will be the hardest but I digress. It looks like today is shaping up to be another meat free day. I have had no major cravings for anything meat related which is really good. We are going to a bbq this afternoon but burgers won’t tempt me. I will eat salad and potato salad that Deb made.

On another note we went out for dinner with Carol from SAINTS. She was telling us how cows cry real tears. This really affected me. I think we see the expression of emotion as strictly a human thing but apparently not. More thought needs to be given about animals and our effect on them.

meat-free day

Well, I didn’t have any meat yesterday. I had veggie soup from the other day, eggs and mashed potatos. It was a good day. I was craving an Italian sub from subway but managed to talk myself out of it because I knew it would not taste as good as I thought it would.

We are going out for dinner tonight and I will likely stick with seafood or salad. So far meat free today as well!

Yesterday I had bacon for breakfast (have I mentioned that bacon is my all time favourite food). We took my mother out to the Copper Room at Harrison Hot springs and I had the prawns rather than chicken, duck or beef. I think I will try and make today meat free though if possible. I don’t have a lot of control over what we are eating at this point but I will make a good effort. My mother goes home tomorrow.

Well I did well yesterday. I ate fish and not a burger when we went out. I snacked on shrimp and cheese in the afternoon. Fish and shrimp are good for me becasue of the omega 3s. So it was a good day.

Today is my mother’s birthday. I am making bacon and pancakes for breakfast. I like the bacon way more than the pancakes I must confess. We are also going out for a nice dinner. I am thinking of trying something new. Not sure though.
