14 days to go until I cross off the first item on my 31 Before 31 list: (#10) Be a vegetarian for 60 days. And I never cheated, not even when we had food tastings with two different caterers. I didn’t touch the meat dishes.
Believe it or not, I haven’t been craving for pork or beef at all. In fact, I’m craving for just 3 things: Jollibee Chicken Joy, Sr. Pedro roast chicken, and my mom’s squid in ink dish. After the 60 days, I think I’ll continue to lay off the red meat and reincorporate just seafood and chicken into my diet, but only when I’m craving for it. We’ll see.
I’m actually feeling better now than when I first started going vegetarian. Six weeks ago, I felt like a truck in bad need of rv repairs: I felt heavy, I was sluggish, and I was popping and creaking and aching all over. The difference isn’t really dramatic and the weight loss is minimal (just 7 lbs.), but I’m happier, definitely. I don’t feel as heavy or as bloated as before, and the body pains have lessened. And while almost everyone around me at work has the sniffles and coughs, I’m as fit as a fiddle. Must be all that fruit.
I’m so proud of myself already. I can’t wait for August 26, when I’ll finally get to tick off item #10 on my list. I’ll treat myself to a 1-piece Chicken Joy meal then.
I’m sooo proud of you Dea, that’s probably one thing I can’t do =( I can eat chicken and fish all day, but not on veggies alone. I can’t wait to see you, 7 lbs is a ot! =) And I’m sur you’re glowing with all the vitamins too =)
Congratulations in advanced sissy! Look more closely at your skin. Don’t they look more glowing now that you’re eating veggies and fruits?
whoa, ang galing! naaisip ko palang, nanghihina nako, but you did it. congratulations..
sabi ng parish priest namin: Christ controlled his meal for 40 days and nights. kaya after that di sya natempt ng devil..
kasi daw a person who can control his meal, can control everyhing.. Ü
good job, Dea. I only tried that for two weeks, but because I love Bulalo so much, I failed. Haha.?
I think I need this too! Ang dami ko kasing ‘after’ reasons eh…after this weekend, after bday ni ganito ganun! Bottomline, ang hirap cmulan! I wish I were like you, keep it up! ^^
Dang: Thanks, Dang! Okay na ang 7lbs, considering na wala pang exercise. I’ll start exercising na this week talaga.
Nicquee: My skin looks nice nga, fruits and veggies truly are ‘glow’ foods!
chyng: That’s interesting, what the priest said. Pero di ko talaga kaya ang fasting, hehe! I need to eat!
Rosa: Oh, wow, bulalo! I’ll try to avoid red meat after this, sana kayanin ko.
mishi: Haha, hirap magdiet, no?! Sakit ko rin yan, procrastinating when it comes to my fitness regimen.
