I’m now on day 11. Temptation has certainly not been absent. Still want my turkey sandwiches and fish/chicken at night. But I’ve found a way of avoiding it and coming up with alternatives. Take for example tonight. I’m doing some Mexican wraps. Starting with Flatout wraps, then adding refried black beans as the base, topping with pico de gallo, hot sauce, 2% reduced fat Mexican cheese, and pre-chopped bell peppers. I baked them and they were great.

But, there has been a bit of a setback in terms of exercise. Unfortunately, I threw out my back and have been essentially immobile for the past week. And for someone who exercises as much as I do, its a bit of a bummer. So the weight and body composition at the end of 30 days may not be as accurate, or as “complete” as I had hoped. Nonetheless, I’m still getting a good perspective into the world of vegetarianism.

I’ll keep you updated as I try different foods.
