Day 30 of my 30 day No meat Challenge

Day 30 of my 30 day No meat Challenge

Posted by Monmac1 on August 22, 2007 - 1:01pm.

Its over my 30 Day Meat Challenge is over. Today is day 30, decision time. I have learned and grown very much in the last couple weeks. I have found out a lot about my boundaries and health issues. I am going to be Vegetarian the BEST I can, I am still after all I am: Anemic. I need some iron and other certain vitamins in my body. Until the day that I can totally drop meat from my menu I will be one happy camper! I have looked up some recipes online, but I have not found much. Anyone’s help would be greatly appreciated!

I found this on the Food Network. It is all about vegetarianism. Not only does it have some recipes, but tells you what vitamins you should be eating. Give the site a try and let me know what you think. I hope it helps you to stay motivated. I know I mentioned this before, but the magazine The Vegetarian Times is a wonderful resource to get. It's all about being a vegetarian, not just the recipes.

Forgot to mention

Oh I had forgot to tell you I did check out the Vegetarian Times Site and I subscribed to Vegetarian Times, I will get the first two issues for free, and after that I guess I will decide. I got a gift too! I can’t wait till it comes in the mail! I also subscribed to Cooking Light; they seemed to have some good healthy recipes on their site also. If it does HAVE to come down to it, and I will have to consume a small portion of meat just for my health’s sake, I will make sure it is not a lot, and that it is still healthy! Thank you for the link to the Vegetarian Diet on Food Network, and as you know I adore this site. I will be sure to use it soon!

May I personally congratulate you!

Well done!

I was not sure if you where going to make it all the way to day thirty, but I was rooting for you!

So I have to ask, are you going to set another thirty day challenge for yourself?

Possibly

by Monmac1 on August 23, 2007 - 1:09pm

I think I might, I know that if I do decide to do another Challenge I will have to take more self control and get on a STRICT diet so I will not end up getting sick again. If I do decide to I will let all of you at lime know ahead of time, I am sure I will need help with my meal plan!

Thank you for all the support.

your philosophy

You have done amazing and remember that food is supposed to be for pleasure as well. Find something you can stick to and not feel deprived. I don't know if you need to be so strict. Once you decide on your personal philosophy with regards to food, all will fall into place.

Congratulations!

One question: What was the first meat you had to break the streak with, and how great did it taste?

Be well!

How great to have made your goal! Please do be careful and mindful in your choices, it's not a failure to make healthful choices you can stick with. You rock!

I agree

I am a vegetarian-almost a vegan. I am one because I can't digest animal protein, but it makes me feel so good. Check out the Vitamins Goodlife and Goji Berry Juice. Go to cislandgroove.com and go to favorite sites and you will find it there.
