Pro's and Con's

This is day 8 of my 12 day vegetarian diet. I decided I would do a little pros and cons comparison because I just don't have enough reasons why I should go back to my old ways.

Pro- I'm never full. I hate when I eat to much and I feel full. It seriously is awful.

Pro- Vegetables are actually cheaper to buy then milk, eggs and meat.

Pro- I never feel guilty about eating anything...ever.

Pro- I haven't noticed having more energy throughout the day, but when I work out I don't get tired as fast as I used to.

Pro- Roommates don't eat your food because assume that vegetarians eat tasteless food.

Pro- I no longer have the craving to stop at In-n-Out and get a strawberry shake (notice how I said craving...not consume)

Pro- People think you are really strong and have lots of self control (I really do)

Pro- I feel I can rightfully burn incense now.

Con- Your meals take longer to prepare

Con- You always have to have food in the fridge

Con- You have stalk up on extra toilet paper

Con- People think you are suffering

Con- You can't add butter or oil to make something taste better

Con- Harder to grocery shop

Con- I run the risk of not getting enough vitamins and minerals

Con- My body is cleansing so my face is breaking out

Probably the thing I hate the most right now is the cleansing. I just wish my body would be cleansed and I can start clearing. So far I have really enjoyed this 12 day journey. I'm leaning more toward staying on it as a permanent life change, but another part was to run to Tucanos. The lunch that I had made last night wasn't horrilbe....but I wouldn't make it or eat it again. I have some left overs and I have a feeling I won't eat it again. For dinner I made my own little creation. I put rice and a mixture of vegetables (i was going for colors so everything was really random) in a pot and turned it on medium. In a blender I added cilantro, ginger, honey, salt and Pepper, and water. I poured the sauce in the pot and let it simmer and the honey create a glaze. I ate it with corn tortillas and spinach. The rice mixture was good, however the corn tortilla combo not so much. I was very pleased with tonight's dinner. Tomorrow I want to attempt to make a dessert that they have online. Hopefully I get around to it. I have been craving something lately.
