After all is said and done I wished I had started being a vegetarian years ago. I have often said I like vegetables and fruits so much I could be a vegetarian but never did it, now I have and I really like it. Last night we went to an evening gathering of our senior group and I eat only veggies and some delicious cantaloupe and didn't even want the cake or pudding that was on the buffet table. Such a feeling of relief to pass up the sweets. That makes three times this week I have passed on sweets, I cannot believe it.
The real test is coming. My oldest son is coming on Sunday with his kids to spend the week and I have to find food for them, they all like meat and lots of pasta, cheese and pizza; don't forget hamburgers, soda pop and ice cream. How will I cope? Then I will be going to stay with younger son who in on the Paelo Diet. What then? I will try to cope with these challenges and get back to the blog with results.
We follow a vegetarian diet during Lent every year. The first few years it was hard, and when my Dad moved in, I thought we'd have to quit. But it actually worked well and it is good for his heart health! We got a book on the Daniel Diet and that helps me plan new entrees and meals. It's worth the work to stay healthy! ;-)
