This is actually day 5 of eating a vegetarian diet for a month, but as I may not be able to blog every day, I thought I would give myself a head start! I was teaching today so I virtuously made my lunch last night, put it into a tupperware box, into the fridge. Then of course this morning I forgot to take it to work! At lunchtime I headed over to the local cafe to buy my lunch, and in my head I had decided to have a jacket potato with baked beans. But they had run out so I had to make a snap decision as a queue was forming! In my panic I ordered my default lunch – a prawn sandwich. Now it was delicious, don’t get me wrong, but I was teased mercilessly over lunch by friends who kept asking what kind of vegetable a prawn is! (David, you know it was you!) I guess sometimes, even when you plan your meals, things go wrong. Oh well, this is what I ate last night:
Corn on the cob, pasta with spinach, pine nuts and feta cheese, beetroot salad and cucumber and avocado saladI also bought some of these delicious snacks today, which were recommended to me by my friend Caz (you can see her blog ‘Life is Limitless’ here). They are very natural, give you lots of energy and are super tasty too 🙂
Ah nevermind, once when I was doing lent I completely forgotten I had given up chocolate until I had taken a huge mouthful of my friends dessert!!!!
I know what you mean! It takes time to change habits 🙂 But the good thing is, you can just carry on where you left off. x
