So my boyfriend and I (well more-so him than I) were
watching some very disturbing videos the other day on how certain farms kill
their animals, and it was just so sad, so we have decided to make the month of February, "Meatless February."
I want
to not only do it for the animals, but also for myself. I want to see how
different my body feels after not eating meat for a while. I am not a HUGE meat eater, but I love my chicken, turkey sandwiches, steak, etc.
Since I can’t just
live off of vegetables, I decided it would be a good idea to keep fish in our
eating routine, so at least we have some source of protein. We also decided to
stop drinking alcohol during this time as well. We are going to choose 2
occasions out of the entire month that we will agree to drink on (not including
Super bowl this Sunday).
I am going to be documenting my progress as the days/weeks go by, so that for those of you who are interested, can read my opinions and how my body feels.
If you aren’t a fan of fish, then this obviously isn’t for
you. Also, because I am giving up meat, does not mean I am going to double up
on eating carbs such as bread and pasta, but I will portion those carbs if I do
decide to eat them as part of a meal.
I am very curious to see how this will play out, and if we
can last longer than just one month!
