Week 3
3/24/14
I have to start
off by saying that’s this assignment to go meatless every Monday has definitely
had somewhat of an impact on me as I came to see during spring break. I was away for spring break and because of
that I did quite a bit of eating out at different restaurants. What I noticed was that I still tried to use
my better judgment to eat less meat if the option was there. For example, at family owned Mexican restaurant
I was at I ordered tacos, and instead of getting beef with a lot of vegetables
and just got my tacos filled with a slew of different things that were non-meat
based including beans, rice, corn, salsa and sour cream. The tacos were great however most places I
ate at did not offer such great options; most places have entrees that include
meat in some type of way. When I did
have the opportunity to cook on spring break, I ate what everyone else was
eating and meat being the main part of the dish was the norm.
This
Monday though I did well and was successful as apposed to last week. I started my day off with my usually dish of
eggs to which I have recently been adding “paper pepper” and chili powder to
add some kick after our class spent learning about spices. After my workout as well as for lunch I made
a huge shake that consisting of milk, strawberry protein powder, and cup and a
half of frozen strawberries. For a
mid-afternoon snack I went with some chai tea that I found in my house as well
as some mixed nuts, and celery stuffed with peanut butter. For dinner I had some veggie burgers that I
threw on the grill and melted some American cheese on top of. With the burgers I microwaved a bag of frozen
broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to which I spiced up with the chili powder
again. Overall today was a lot easier,
much more satisfying, and filling than the first couple weeks.
