Meatless Monday 4

            Since, it is our fourth Meatless Monday I have officially gotten into the swing of things.  Whenever, Monday roles around I immediately think to not eat meat at any meals.  I suppose it has become a habit by now, a good one though.  So this week when I woke up I ate a breakfast consisting of an apple, some pineapple, a Clementine, and a little bit of Chobani plain Greek yogurt.  I felt pretty full after this for a while and ate lunch at around 2:30.  For lunch I had two slices of Kashi Mediterranean pizza, this pizzas are not very big so this was actually about half of the pizza.  They are however very good and nutritious they have red peppers, spinach, onions, Feta and mozzarella cheese on top.  I know this wasn’t very creative but I have been swamped with school work this week so I had to choose nutritious foods that were pretty quick.  Along with the pizza I also had some more pineapple.  Then for dinner I had a salad consisting of the organic spring mix, Gouda cheese, fresh parmesan cheese, carrots, and a Sweet Vidalia Onion dressing.  As a side I had a sweet potato and another Clementine.  And as a snack after my night class I had some non-GMO blue corn chips and organic Wegmans salsa.  I don’t think my meals had too much of an effect on others throughout the day.  I did eat with others but we had our own meals and if anything I probably encouraged them to eat some of my vegetarian choices.  Which I suppose is a very good thing, maybe I’ll spread the idea of Meatless Monday to people I share meals with!  I don’t think that my meals were any more expensive than what I normally spend on food in a day.  Monday may have actually been cheaper because I usually make more of an effort to cook all my meals for myself and to eat at home because it gives me more opportunity to make a nutritious meal.  Overall, I think that Meatless Monday’s are becoming a routine, and I hope to keep it up after the project is over.
