I'm a vegeterian - Day 2
Ok. This is my first blogspot post. I used Xanga for a while, but for reasons personal to me, I'm no longer in Xanga land. It's been awhile since I blogged, and honestly I haven't had much to write about. Except now I've got an interesting challenge.
Last week I went to the lab for some work (they took some pee, too... they're insatiable!). My thyroid levels were too low again, and so for the second time in a year, they upped my prescription of synthroid. My triglycerides were sky high again, so I've gotta take Lopid again, and this time my sugar was high (maybe b/c I had yogurt and apples that morning?). So, my wife Misty says, "you oughtta go vegeterian for a month and see if that helps." For some odd reason, I said ok.
People, I'm a corn-fed Kansas boy. My favorite food is a 16 oz. ribeye. I guess I was just tired of doing nothing, and I needed a drastic challenge to see if I could master my flesh in this area. The fact that it is the shortest month in the year helps too.
Day one (yesterday) - I had two slices of leftover pizza for breakfast. They did have hamburger on'em, but that was a couple hours before Misty threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to being a veg. That doesn't count. For lunch, since it was AFTER the challenge, I had a garden salad at Wendy's, low fat ranch dressing...and a small order of fries. Ok, the fries were a splurge, but I swear it was a SMALL fry, maybe 13 fries in it (I gotta maintain some dignity!).
For dinner, after our Chi Alpha gathering, we went to the Pita Pit. I had two Pita's (I'm a big boy), one was falafel and the other babaganoush. Falafel was ok, until the last several bites. I gave the rest to Misty. Babaganoush was good, it's a fav of mine anyway.
Today, leftover pizza...chill out, it just had cheese and olives on it! Then a Dillon's salad for lunch today. So far, so good. I'm not suffering too much. We'll see what happens after a week of romaine overload.
