Me give up chicken?
Who am I kidding!
Me give up shrimp?
Yeah, right!
Me pass on a good hamburger?
What am I nuts?
I thought I would end up dead, angry and/or bitchy without meat.
Well I did it!
I haven't eaten any meat since December 1.
I'm sleeping better and the night sweats & hot flashes are less frequent.
I don't feel so bloated...go figure since I'm eating more beans!
But carbs scary me!
I'm a protein girl...I feel more satisfied when I eat good lean protein.
Carbs don't satisfy like protein does.
Yes, yes I stick to complex carbs; brown rice, whole grains, etc.
And yes, yes....simple white carbs sneak in once in a while.
So I do watch that I'm not overloading on carbs; easier said then done.
Also I worry about gaining weight.
My husband asked me, "What will you do if you gain weight but feel better?"
Yikes, I didn't think about that and really don't want to!
Thanks Babe.
But I'm hoping my training for the 1/2 marathon will keep me in shape as well as the 2-3 exercise classes I take at the gym!
Again...yikes!
But bottom line; I'm doing well without meat.
In fact, I would say I'm doing quite well!
Better than I expected.
And I'm not curled up in a ball in the corner or yelling at my family or dead!
