Vegetarian Living...

so its been a good couple of days since i ended the fast. it feels great that ive been able to maintain a vegetarian diet since last thursday and ultimately, 17 days in a row now. im also happy to find out that eggs fall under vegetarian, which to me is kinda odd, but as long as i can have my egg whites in the morning, im happy. ive been eating alot of veggie burgers (lots of BBQs the last few days), cereal w/ soy milk and my brother introduced me to my new favorite - BBQ'd sweet potatoes. slice the sweet potatoes like fat potato chips, microwave them in a bag with a little bit of olive oil and spices for 10 minutes and then throw them right on the BBQ rack... so good. antha and i went to the diner last night and i got a vegetarian panini sandwich thing. it was so much better than i expected. so yeah, eating veg isn't as hard as i once thought it was. sure it takes a little more thinking because its not always as available (like lunch at work), but if you get creative and dont mind eating "side dishes" as a meal... no worries. and i feel good!
beer. gotta love beer. been having a couple here and there, and no, i didnt get shitfaced after the first 2 beers i had. its weird though, once i drink 4 at the most, i lose all desire to keep drinking. this was the case all weekend... i think alot of it is from conditioning with the baby though. nothing is worse than a hangover when youre up at 5:30am and you dont get to go back to sleep until its dark out again. you do that ONCE and it never happens again...a little switch goes off in your head when you start getting a good buzz.
so yeah, ive been quite busy the last few days and other than being at work, i haven't really been on the computer. i'd like to try and keep this blog going though in the future. and not necessarily just food and diet related self indulgant drivel... see where it goes.

AND, today is Hugo's last day of his fast. i can't believe he did it, im actually beyond impressed and i hope he's proud of himself. if there was anyone more worthless then me when i started my fast...it was him. good job, buddy!
