What I ate on my first day as a veggie....

First day=success! No meat! Woo! Of course I had some eggs and a little dairy after dinner, but I'm not trying to be vegan so I'm okay with that.

Here's my eats:

Pre-workout-apple and 1 c. almond milk

Post-workout-Green Monster(see earlier post for ingredients)

Breakfast-oats, almond butter and eggs

Lunch-flat out artesian bread(can I stress how much I love these?) with homemade hummus and goat cheese...OMG...so frickin' delicious, I'm going to have this again, but next time with peppers and a big salad!(I was running low on food, it was the day before grocery day...you know how that is!)...no picture cause it looked like baby poo spread on bread...maybe when I make it with peppers it'll look better and I'll take a pic.

Snack-arnold flat sandwich bread with pb and nutella

Dinner-curtesy of Sweet Tomatoes-huge salad with all the veggies(including butternut squash pieces-this is soooo good, try it at home!), chick peas, a sprink of sunflower seeds and ranch dressing on the side. I dipped my fork in the ranch and then had several bites of salad so I hardly used any dressing. I've really learned how to love the taste of vegetables and how they mingle together in a salad with very little dressing! 1 c. of vegetarian chili, that I put tons of chives and onions int0(smell my breath now...teehee)...a couple pieces of the different breads, and I only had 1 bite of each...and a cookie with a little frozen yogurt and caramel sauce.

I'm not going to say that this was the most balanced and healthy day I've ever had, but hey, I decided to go veggie early(I wasn't going to start till next week) so my cupboards were pretty bare and then hubby and I went out to dinner. I'm actually proud of myself with my dinner, usually I got crazy at Sweet Tomatoes and pile eggs, cheese, croutons, ect on my salad and eat a ton of baked goods, so all in all, I say success!

I was hungry when we got home from the movies but it was too late to eat anything, so this morning I was SOOO HUNGRY!..Oh yeah, we saw Couples Retreat. It was pretty cute and funny.
