o
Meal 1: Oatmeal
with nuts and raisins, fruit cup (strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe,
honeydew, apples)
o
Meal 2: Protein
Shake (whey)
o
Meal 3: Garlic
hummus & pretzels
o
Meal 4: Seasoned
rice with peppers, grilled asparagus, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, house salad
o This
Monday was the most difficult because I was traveling. It’s hard enough to eat
healthy, let alone ditch meat. For breakfast, we went to Chic-Filet (yuck), but
I did find oatmeal and fruit! I was glad that would hold me over for the drive
from Atlanta to Athens. I packed a protein shake and the hummus/pretzel combo
that I bought at a gas station. The worst was dinner, because we were at a
steak house! So being 100% veggie, including no seafood, was pretty tough.
o
Meatless Mondays didn’t change my eating habits
the other days of the week. Again, I am still giving up meat on Fridays because
of lent. However, I did realize how much meat is associated with fast food.
Every quick meal my friends were going for burgers and chicken.
o
I struggled this week, solely because I wasn’t
in my own kitchen or always choosing where we’d stop for food (obviously, or I
wouldn’t have been at a steak house).
o My
dinner did cost a bit more than I would have liked, because I had to order all
of my vegetables a la carte. It ended up being equal to a steak dinner, which
was interesting in itself.

Hey Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI’ve always wanted to visit Atlanta with my friends. I had the same trouble this past Monday as I was traveling back up to Buffalo from Cancun. That was good that you didn’t give in while you was at a steak house I would have definitely been tempted to ask for a piece from one of my friend’s plate. Your dinner looked delicious. I love asparagus I may have to look into trying to make that seasoned rice. I myself also had trouble trying to accommodate to those around me this week. It was hard trying to not have meat especially when it really convenient to eat it. You also mentioned that you spent as much money on a healthier dish as you would on a steak plate. I find that extremely bad because a healthier meal should be cheaper than a steak meal. That’s why it is so hard for individuals especially college students to go meatless or not go for the fast food because its saving us more money which is what we need to be doing. The garlic hummus and pretzels is a perfect snack to keep you satisfied I had it before when my roommate bought it once. I’m actually anxious for meatless Mondays to be over this is something not for me. I am on a diet and in order for me to be fuller throughout the day I need my meet. I get grouchy when I begin to fell hungry. But I wish you all the best of luck on the rest of meatless Mondays.
