because the one i'm in now is busted.

it keeps nibbling on food from christmas dinner; craves sweets, especially cake with whipped cream (or buttercream) frosting, custard, hot cocoa...ANYTHING with sugar; hasn't gone to the gym in a week; hasn't been motivated to do much of anything except watch movies; seems to function on 5 hours of sleep.

i feel so toxic.

and to think i'm holding off until january 1st to start my two week vegetarian diet. earlier this year i promised a friend of mine that i would give it a try but haven't so i'm giving it a go come january.

that reminds me, i still need to figure out my menu. if i plan ahead, i'm more likely to stick to the two week trial so i better start looking for recipes.

i think you'll find it easier than you realize to have a completely vegetarian diet. just make sure to get enough protein - that's the kicker. i ate vegetarian the entire time i was in israel, just because i was wary of the meat cooking methods. (my tummy's not so forgiving and i didn't want any problems.) although i was sick of tomatoes and cucumbers, i ate hummus every day. i felt fantastic by the time i got home (well, but for the cold) and found i had more energy and had lost weight while i was there.

of course, one of the first things i ate when i got home?

chicken soup.

i think you'll enjoy it - let me know of any awesome recipes! i'm going to try and cook more (or at all) starting . . . soon.

Aw. I hope you feel better, dear. I have to go and stop treating myself like a garbage dump too.

It's the end of the year, we're allowed a little naughty. ;-)

"...just make sure to get enough protein - that's the kicker."

yeah, i'll be stocking up on the morning star farms grillers and chick patties for sure--good source of protein and tastes like meat. i know i said i was giving up meat for two weeks but i didn't say i was giving up the flavor! ;) as long as i can find vegetarian foods that i like, i think i'll be good to go. speaking of which, thanks for mentioning hummus. *adds to list*

girl, this naughty streak couldn't end sooner!

it's the holidays!!! you're SUPPOSED to be doing what you're doing! hehe :) *muwah*

I can't do the morningstar farms stuff - anything that tries to taste like meat will automatically fail. But I've found eating a lot of vegetables isn't really all that hard as long as I doctor them up a bit. With butter, balsamic vinegar, or a bit of cheddar, I'll eat almost anything.

I could give up meat if I absolutely had to... but never cheese.
