I finally have some time to sit down to think and write about last month’s vegetarian diet. The reason why I switched to a vegetarian last month was because I’ve been meaning to do it in the past. Many people have been saying its a much healthier diet and good for you mentally and physically.

With 30 days of not eating any meat I can say being a vegetarian isn’t much healthier than a non-vegetarian diet. I lost about 2 to 3 lbs which isn’t significant at all. Maybe if it was a more extended period of time there is a good change a person can lose more weight. Mentally, I felt more tired more often. During the diet I was lazy to do anything. I just wanted to stay home and watch television all day. The worst part about this diet is watching your friends and co-workers eating all the yummy food that you can’t eat.

In the end, a vegetarian diet isn’t any healthier than my previous diet. For those of you who believe a no-meat diet is the way to go to be healthy, think again. Stick to a well-rounded meal and stay away from too much fat and salt.

Note: The day after my veggie diet had I eaten pizza with grilled chicken for the topping, and at night while sleeping I woke up with the worst stomach pain ever. It last for several hours and had to hit the toilet a few times. My body was probably not use to eating meat which may have caused the pain. I don’t think it was a bad pizza because none of my friends who ate it had any problems.

Sometimes I wonder who elected the officials that pass these kinds of laws?

I’ve completed my 30-day vegetarian diet. I can’t believe it’s only been 30 days. It seemed much longer than that. I didn’t even realized today was the first of October. I’m stoked, I can eat whatever I want now. Actually, I’m not really craving anything. I’m mentally and physically use to this diet. Halfway through the diet I lost about five pounds but then it evened out when I started eating more snacks and candy. Overall, I probably lost about a pound. I don’t have much time to write now. I’ll be posting a review and conclusion of this diet soon.

Well, it wasn’t really vacation at all. It was just two days off from work. I got to run my errands and got to play with Rosco. With the free time I had I finally got to put in some good running. I haven’t had the time to go for a long run in a while. I finally got my mountain bike and hit up the hills behind Evergreen.

A lot of people ask me if the top header picture on my blog really a picture of me riding a motorcycle. And the answer is “Yes” it is. The reason I haven’t been riding my motorcycle lately is because its out of commission due to an accident when I let my brother barrow it. But in the mean time I’ve been riding an alternative two-wheel vehicle.

This no-meat diet ain’t that bad. I’m actually use to it. I don’t feel as tired anymore and my craving for meat is not as bad either. I recently had pineapple fried rice from House of Siam which was awesome. Anyone on a vegetarian diet should definately try it out.

There’s 10 more days left and I’m debating whether to extend this diet a bit longer, but I’m not sure if I should yet.

I’m half way there with my vegetarian diet for this month. I’m feeling the effects of not eating meat. I’ve been feeling tired a lot and I’ve lost a few pounds. I’m still eating rice, vegetables, and noodles. It seems no matter what I eat I don’t get full. Actually I don’t feel satisfied. It’s like drinking several glasses of water on an empty stomach; your tummy is full but not satified at all.

I ate a Boca burger at Red Robin and it wasn’t as tasteful as I thought it would be. At least I got some onion rings, those are the best. Anyways, its the half way point and it feels much longer than that. I don’t think its that bad and I should reach the end of the month with no problem

Update has been completed. There are few noticeable changes such as a wider content area; inceased by 50 pixels. I also had to remake all the headers and re-added all the quotes to correspond to the wider page.
