Tomorrow is the official halfway point of my 30 days of going vegetarian. It’s really not so bad. Dinners are by far the most difficult part, but Whole Foods has been a huge help due to them having all kinds of vegetarian alternatives. I picked up some Boca Burgers too. I’ve had them before and they’re “ok”, but thats about it. I dont think I can choke down any more tofu, so I’ve uped my bean intake.

Good news! I turned a corner yesterday and all of a sudden a switch was flicked. The back pain went from constant pain to intermittent sharp shooting pain. But now, it’s all but gone (unless I bend in a few certain ways). Friday I was at about a 60%. I’d say now I’m 90%. So I went swimming today and got in 2,000 pain free yards. I’ll be back on the bike tomorrow and hope to be running by mid-late week.

Tonight for dinner I’m experimenting with another fake chicken thingy from the same brand that I had before. We’ll see. Oh, also, veggie chili is really good. Plenty of beans and tomatoes and of course, cheese and hot sauce.

Still looking forward to getting back to my turkey sandwiches for lunch and chicken/fish dinners though. One more thing before I go… while at Whole Foods, I saw that they have “meatless meatballs”. Am I the only one who thinks that’s just wrong? Didn’t think so.
