Well it's been 3 weeks...

Very interesting 3 weeks!!  So far I am really enjoying the change of my eating habits but still getting use to my food choices. 

I find I am eating too much starchy foods such as pasta, rice, potatoes in order to fill me.  I have found tons of Vegetarian recipe websites which have been very helpful but find that I am shopping more often to replenish the fruits that go bad, I guess I have to buy smaller amounts and shop more often!

My girlfriend that joined with me becoming a Vegetarian is doing awesome as well!!  It is so much easier to do this with support of friends and family. 

Just the other day my friend cooked spaghetti meat sauce for her family.  I was visiting and we were going to eat the sauce but without the meat, then we thought, we cannot do that as the sauce was cooked with meat so that is defeating the purpose, silly us!

A few days after going Vegetarian I was researching on vitamins and supplements (which I have posted the information on previous posts).  So I started taking a B12 vitamin and found that I could not sleep!!.  I was wide away at 3:00AM and was getting very frustrated.  I was wondering, WOW, did meat have something in it that made me sleep as soon as I hit the pillow?  Nope, it was the B12 tablet I was taking, I was taking too late in the day around 3:00PM.  Recently I have switched my vitamin intake to the morning as soon as I get up and I have found a difference in my sleeping, thank goodness!!  I have found the B12 gives me TONS of energy and LOVE the feeling!!

This weeks task is spending more time on balancing my food choices so I will not be eating to many fattening foods.  I will post some tips/ideas really soon!!
