Today marks the first of the six
Meatless Monday’s I will be participating in, as agreed I will not eat meat all
day. I think the most difficult part of this whole thing was remembering Sunday
Night (as I was packing my lunch for the next day) that I could not eat meat.
As an athlete I am always trying to get as much protein as I can, I found this
a little difficult… But I think it is mostly because I am not use to it yet. I
started off the day eating my usual breakfast ‘loaded oatmeal’ a full cup of
oatmeal, with added peanut butter, banana and whey protein. Full of fiber to
keep me full all day! I packed lots of fruit, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs and nuts
for my lunch while I was at school. Dinner was the meal that I was most
affected by, my mom made chicken for dinner, which was so temping to eat!!
Luckily for me she made a chickpea salad for the side! So I stuffed my face
with chickpeas and veggies. This was definitely healthier for me and better for the
environment. Not eating meat affected others around me a little bit but
not too much. They were very upset when I ate all the salad and left very
little for them... As a result of my experience I think that I would like
to continue the Meatless Monday idea even after we are done with the assignment
in class. I think it would be very beneficial to my health and the
environment.
