| My Meals for Meatless Monday! Breakfast: Egg Whites and Salsa Lunch: Spinach Salad with Beets, Goat Cheese, Red Onions Dinner: Spinach & Kale Ravioli |
Things I have learned in my few months of vegetarianism:
#1. It is still super easy to get your protein in without meat. Seeds! Beans/Lentils! Eggs! Greek Yogurt! Oh and my favorite About Time Protein Powder.
#2. Eating fast food just doesn't really work. YAY! I can't really just make a crappy choice and run through any drive-thru. I stick to veggie burrito bowls at Pancheros and veggie sandwiches from Jimmy Johns if I'm in a pinch. Not great, but better than the burger and fry routine.
#3. Leftovers for lunch are the best thing ever! I really was never a fan of next day meat, but next day veggies that have been seasoned and roasted just taste better! YAY Oh and that goes for tofu too.
Also, I have been on the Runner's World Holiday Run Streak since last Tuesday actually. :) As expected, my mileage isn't AMAZING, but it isn't about miles damnit... it is about commitment. Well, I'm committed. In fact, I'm going to head down to the treaddie after I post this and catch up with my favorite brothers.

How was your Thanksgiving?? Mine was great, I had an awesome morning run and ate reasonably. I did drink a bottle of wine over a 6 hour period, but some things just can't be helped. Honestly, I spent the rest of the weekend spooning my cats, doing laundry and watching Vampire Diaries. It was awesome and work this morning sure was a ruuuude awakening!
Do you let your diet/exercise routines slide over the holidays or are you making plans/ joining challenges to stay motivated? Elf 4 Health! Run Streak! Success is in the planning I say! Plus I didn't do a damn thing last winter and gained weight... I wonder why that happened!?!?
I swear - I'm only stalking you a little bit and that's why I am the first person to comment! Your salad looks delish! I love goat cheese! I had tofu for the first time today in a stir fry. I think it was pretty good? Hard to say since it was pretty seasoned but I will definitely try it again. Nice job on the streakin'! Tonight was a close call for me but I made it
ReplyDeletei am totally trying to pull my nutrition back out of the rubbish bin. sigh. rough time of year for that, but i figure if i can do it now then i can keep going with it!
ReplyDeleteI joined the elf4health and flunked the meatless monday, but I don't believe in it so I didn't care. Great job with the run streak and I would be spooning cats after a bottle of wine too.
ReplyDeleteOh man, my meatless meal was disastrous! I'm glad that your meatless life is going better than my one meatless day!
ReplyDeleteThose ravioli sound yummy! Great job with streakin' so far, girl! I'm still hanging in there with you. :D
ReplyDeleteI've never done a run streak, but good for you in committing to it! It seems like a great way to stay in the habit of running daily in the winter. :)

Congrats on an awesome job! And I love next day veggies, I totally agree with you :)
ReplyDeleteSo true about leftover meat. Gross. With the exception of beef, it all tastes horrible to me the next day.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing terrible with the daily challenges for Elf4Health but I had a feeling there would be several days I wouldn't participate so it's all good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome things here. I am very glad to look your
