Boring stuff.

I'm really liking how my arms are starting to look.  I missed one day of the gym this week due to a cold/severe allergies.  I'm going to try making it up by doing some exercises at home, and not just relying on the gym classes that I go to twice a week.  I missed yoga this week too.

I donated blood on Monday, and now I'm paranoid that because I was sickly thrusday, they won't be able to use it, but we'll see.

I'm doing somewhat better in the last few weeks about eating less meat than I used to be. I had a couple of days this past week that were completely or mostly vegetarian.  I'm trying to limit myself to meat no more than once a day if it's unfeasible to do without it completely.  I had a few slices of roast beef this morning for breakfast, so no more meat the rest of the day : ).  I'm going to have a tofu taco salad (no shell, cheese or sour cream) for lunch, and I don't know what for dinner, but it shall be meatless.  A few nights ago I made a vegetarian quesadilla with just light cheese, fresh chopped tomatoes, frozen spinach, lightly carmelized onions and peppers and salsa on whole wheat toritialls - it was very very good, and I'd rather have a pile of veggies than any amount of meat, but sometimes the options just don't allow it.

Restaurants really don't give a lot of options for meat -free, other than 'I want this, but no chicken', but then they charge you full price anyway, and there's not enough food left for it to be a complete meal, most times, not all times.

Sigh.

I'm getting there.  I may never be vegan, but I really do want to consume much less meat, and try to get it down to none, but just reducing my meat intake to 4 servings (normal servings, not 'american' serviings) will make me feel better about how and what i eat : )
