And it begins!

So far, so good!

Saturday was wedding day for some of my dear friends - my hubby and I were both in the wedding. I didn’t MISS meat right away, but I did catch myself about to absent-mindedly eat meat a couple of times - once in the morning, getting ready in the bridal suite (turkey roll up) and once after the wedding when the bridal party went back out for drinks and snacks (raw oysters). Both times I caught myself, though, so no harm done! I did get to snack on lots of fruits and veggies, and the wedding food included more veggies, rice, cheese, and crackers, so I wasn’t lacking for options by any means!

Sunday, we drove back to Asheville. I started the day with more fruit and a whole wheat bagel and then loaded up on what I like to call “road trip food,” which usually consists of really healthy stuff like Skittles and Chex Mix. By the time we got back to Asheville, I was exhausted and full of junk food.

By Monday, I was back at work and surrounded by yummy, healthy options - Salad for lunch with mashed potatoes (OH yum!), yummy burrito for dinner. I feel like I’m getting the swing of things. I don’t feel like I’m missing out nutritionally OR taste-wise (tastily?). So far, meat has shown itself to be something I can definitely live without.

Do you think it’s going to get tougher as I go?
