WEEK #3 AS A VEGETARIAN

Week #3 as a vegetarian is complete. As the weeks go by, I do not crave meat as much.

My energy levels are still very high, and I still got in my normal exercise routines. One thing I am finding is that I’m eating more. I’m snacking at least every hour and a half, and my portions during meal times are larger as well. I think it’s because I exercise so much that I need to replace the energy expended during my workouts.

I’m really looking forward to Thursday night. My wife and I will be meeting up with Samantha Gladisha from www.holisticwellness.ca. She is a Holistic Nutritionist and a Hatha Yoga Instructor. While she prepares us dinner, she will be educating us on eating healthy, nutrient-dense foods and answering our questions.

Some new things and some favorites from the past week…

Non-GMO pulled tofu in BBQ sauce, with a side of baked sweet potato fries and boiled beets with walnuts

Coconut chia granola is the newest addition to my oatmeal.

It goes well with everything else I pack in there… frozen blueberries, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, and cinnamon.

A couple of breakfasts last week, we enjoyed steel-cut oats.

In them, we added cinnamon, almond milk, and some maple syrup. Yummy!

Tossed it in the crockpot at night, and it was all ready for breakfast the next morning.

I was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario and for as long as I can remember, I’ve always been very positive & optimistic. As a young boy, I was a dreamer, a doer and excited for life! I remember growing up, before any big test at school, or soccer game, my mom would always remind me to Do My Best! I’m a wee bit of a perfectionist because of that. And, today, I’m still all of those things, but now a man, driven, dedicated and committed to living a life on my own terms.
