Week #3 as a vegetarian is complete.\u00a0 As the weeks go by, I do not crave meat as much.<\/p>\n

My energy levels are still very high, and I still got in my normal exercise routines.\u00a0 One thing I am finding is that I’m eating more.\u00a0 I’m snacking at least every hour and a half, and my portions during meal times are larger as well.\u00a0 I think it’s because I exercise so much that I need to replace the energy expended during my workouts.<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to Thursday night.\u00a0 My wife and I will be meeting up with Samantha Gladisha from www.holisticwellness.ca<\/a>.\u00a0 She is a Holistic Nutritionist and a Hatha Yoga Instructor.\u00a0 While she prepares us dinner, she will be educating us on eating healthy, nutrient-dense foods and answering our questions.<\/p>\n

Some new things and some favorites from the past week…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non-GMO pulled tofu in BBQ sauce, with a side of baked sweet potato fries and boiled beets with walnuts<\/p>\n

Coconut chia granola is the newest addition to my oatmeal.<\/p>\n

It goes well with everything else I pack in there… frozen blueberries, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

A couple of breakfasts last week, we enjoyed steel-cut oats.<\/p>\n

In them, we added cinnamon, almond milk, and some maple syrup. Yummy!<\/p>\n

Tossed it in the crockpot at night, and it was all ready for breakfast the next morning.<\/p>\n
