Today marks the last of the six Meatless Monday’s I will be participating in, as agreed I will not eat meat all day. I finally started to get use to the idea of packing my meatless lunch on Sunday! At the beginning of the Meatless Monday I would always forget 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 oatmeal a full cup of oatmeal, with added peanut butter, banana and whey protein. I packed lots of fruit, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs and nuts for my lunch while I was at school. Dinner I made white veggie pizza! It turned out so good, lots of tomatoes & olives and herbs! Not eating meat the past six weeks affected others around me a little bit but not too much. 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.
