I’ve gone Pescetarian!
No more meat…besides fish, and well…you know.
Lol It’s an empowering feeling to know that I have made this lifestyle change.
I’ve been seriously contemplating this diet change for months now and it took
one documentary to completely make the switch. Vegicated. It’s actually a
documentary on Veganism but I can’t go that extreme. A segment of the
documentary revealed the torture our animals go through behind slaughterhouse
walls and I was in tears. It was almost unbearable to watch how inhumane the
animals are treated. “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a
vegetarian.” –Paul McCartney
My friend Michelle's beautiful garden!
I’ve also committed to a sobriety challenge for the entire
year of 2013. No marijuana or alcohol. Period. Instead, I’ve been drinking all
sorts of different teas and expanding my diet and consuming a hell of a lot
more fruits and vegetables than I’ve ever eaten in my life. And to my surprise,
I’m gaining weight! If you’re a hater like I once was, you should try eating
more nuts. I combine walnuts, almonds, peanuts and m&ms to munch on all
day.
This past Monday I tried something new for the first time
and accompanied my friend to a 90 minute guided meditation class. It was so rejuvenating!
I walked out of the room and thought I was floating on clouds. I love it
because it goes hand in hand with yoga and they make me feel so good.
Here’s a picture of the newest pose me and a special someone
are trying to master.
Namaste Everyone
You don't miss meat? I gave up meat twice for lent and I definitely felt a difference in a good way, but I also missed eating meat a lott. All the best to you though!
ReplyDeleteAnd yea, doing meditation/yoga definitely puts you at ease. And it's great for flexibility!
sounds good and healthy, sobriety good, diet good. wow.
ReplyDeleteI had creatine after college which helped me get kick started on working out from 140 and up. for while anyway. keep up the great blogging!

ReplyDeleteSo what does this mean? You allow yourself to eat fish and seafood? That's a good compromise, cause I cannot see you giving up your annual holiday feast of sushi. :-)
ReplyDeletethats extreme man! haha but thats awesome you're feelin so good from changing your ways
ReplyDelete@Kwakamole: Your username makes me giggle. I don't miss meat at all! You should try it again, especially since you noticed positive changes yourself! Do it with me??
ReplyDelete@Dan: Thanks man! Creatine works great...until you stop using it lol Do you still take it? I used it for a month and gained 5 pounds but I was getting pretty bad headaches so I paused for a while.
@Jack: Good luck! Let me know how it goes.
@Anonymous: hahaha thank you :)
@fan of casey: Yes. I could NEVER give up my sushi. You know me well! hahaha Hope you're doing wonderfully :)
