17 days into my "NO HEARTBEATS EXPEDITION" and I ate one shrimp. I failed, again!
But this is not defeat, this is the challenge, the challenge that pushes myself on the daily; I love it!
I have come to realize that I may never be okay with eating any type of animal for the rest of my life, because I am fortunate enough that my thought process about my food has done a complete 180 since I started this journey on January 21st.
I no longer see meat as food, like I had my whole life before, I now see it as a dead animal that we cooked. It may not be distributing to you but that is the one reason I feel like I can no longer consume meat!
By the way, the one shrimp was not worth it; and after I ate it, all I wanted to do was throw up because that one little shrimpy had a heartbeat at some point in it's life; just like I have a heartbeat!!!
But of course, I will NOT give up! I have a goal that I am fighting for with ARDORlarder, and more importantly my "NO HEARTBEATS EXPEDITION!"
"NO HEARTBEATS EXPEDITION" This is my journey to finding an enthusiastic supply of food without heartbeats!
I love all the blogs! It is so awesome to see your challenges that you are overcoming and the funny little things that happen when you completely change your diet! I will recommend getting a juicer and fresh farmers market fruits/veggies. Since your not eating meat anymore you have to eat a wide variety of fruits and veggies to get protein,iron,amino acids,vitamins,ect. You can get all of these from fruits and veggies but it's hard taking time to eat a huge selection on the daily with a busy schedule. It also helps with eliminating colds . I can't even tell you the last time I was sick but its been well over a year and a half!
ReplyDeleteThere are farmer's markets on sat & sun in hollywood and north hollywood! We should plan a day to go! Love you!
