I really need to learn to not make impulse decisions when it comes to food. I didn’t think this thing out all too well. Tuesday night, I found myself walking down the food aisles at Target trying to find something, anything, I could eat (that wasn’t fish). I came out with spaghetti sauce and mushrooms (I had noodles at home). I didn’t eat it though. I also found some organic instant mac n cheese which seemed right up my alley on simplicity. After two bites (that is literally a portion size, 2 bites), I was starving and was browsing every corner of my pantry for food. Hello Fritos. Half of that bag is gone. Ok, 3/4 of it is gone. I am struggling with finding that common medium of going vegetarian AND eating clean. So far, it’s not good.
Wednesday was a pretty decent day. Normal breakfast, and I went to McAlisters for lunch. I had the taco salad with the veggie chili. It has beans, but it wasn’t bad, couldn’t taste them. In fact, it was quite tasty. I never would have tried it if I wasn’t doing this whole vegetarian thing. And it was less calories. Dinner I went back to fish. I was tired and I could have eaten cardboard and I wouldn’t have noticed a difference.
It’s already Thursday. I think I will be ok on this whole diet. My only challenge is balancing no meat with healthy options. I’m working on it.
Try shrimp fajitas or fish/shrimp tacos, both are quick and easy. Also think about flash frozen fish items at diergergs, great and easy.
Hey I make tex mex lasagna when we have company staying at our house. All of our friends LOOOVVVEEE it. It is SO easy, and most the ingredients you probably already have.
Go to http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000642373 for the recipe. I usually add more cumin than it asks for and we like to use a thick salsa with more beans in it.
