My Attempt at Vegetarianism!

Hello again trusty blog. It has been a while since I have blogged! Honestly, it feels as if life has been stagnant and I have not been having any new revelations to blog about. But, I now have one, and it is a good reason to resurrect the dusty ole' blog! For lent I have decided to give vegetarianism a try; from there we will see if this becomes a permanent life choice.

This was not a decision that I made overnight. This was something that I had always wanted to do but never thought I could. As I have slowly cut meat out of my regular diet I finally feel like I am at a place to do this. I had never prepared much pork, as Jason doesn't like pork, so that was pretty much out of my diet. Over the last year I had given up red meat (except for the rare occasion when it sounded good to me, which didn't happen often). So, all that is left is chicken. I am by no means trying to make anyone feel guilty about eating meat, nor am I trying to persuade anyone to become a vegetarian with me. This blog is simply my journey of giving a new diet a try. (One that I am VERY excited about!)

The decision to do this became final when I had my last doctor's appointment this past Friday. I had been concerned about switching to a vegetarian diet in the middle of my pregnancy. My doctor assured me that as long as I get the recommended protein in a day there is nothing wrong with this. (Which made me realize I hadn't been getting the recommended amount of protein on a normal basis, so already this has caused me to reevaluate what I am eating.)

I plan on posting my progress on my blog, so stay tuned and see if I can successfully become a vegetarian!!!
