Vegetarian Week: Day 6 and 7

Vegetarian Week: Day 6 and 7

Man, I missed the last two updates! I didn't mean to drop the ball like that, guys!

Although I didn't drop the ball with the vegetarianism. Hurrah! I came sooooo close to it on Friday, though. Friday at my school is Chicken Ball Friday. Usually I tend to steal a couple from my friends when they get some, since I happen to be boycotting buying school lunches. However, that's a story for another time. Anyway, as it happened, Nick got some chicken balls, and I actually had the chicken in my hand and was just about to take a bite when I realized that it was, in fact, chicken. Those devilly lunch ladies may process that food so much that it is unrecognizable, but it was still meat nonetheless!

I threw the food down and everyone at the table laughed.

Saturday passed by fine, and I didn't really have any close calls.

It was strange, though. Today I went to get lunch with my dad and I decided to get a chicken ceasar wrap, since I could have meat again. However, the chicken wasn't very good, and I actually felt rather bad about eating it. I wasn't exactly repulsed by the idea of eating meat, but I had the remnants of queasiness in my stomach as I ate. The food could have been made badly, but I doubt that was the case, since we were in a reputable place to eat.

I do think I will dramatically reduce the amount of meat I eat after this, however. It's sort of put me in a mindset that I don't really need meat to survive, although I'm not going to go out of my way to actively avoid meat. Since I didn't eat much meat to begin with, it looks like I'll only be eating meat mmm maybe 2 to 3 times a week, if that. What was funny was the fact that I actually think I gained weight on this diet! That might have been because my mind thought I was severely lacking nutrients, when in fact I wasn't, and began over-eating.

I liked doing this experiment! I think I'm going to try doing a Vegan Month instead of a Vegan Week. A little more dramatic, but maybe I'll see bigger results during the longer amount of time. That will probably start soon, once I get a mealplan started and do some more research on Veganism. The Raw Vegan Days will be encompassed in the Vegan Month, but damn, those will be a tough couple of days, I must say.

I hope you all enjoyed my little experiment. Don't be afraid to try some of your own, just be sure to stay healthy and be careful with what you do.

Cya!
