The Vegetarian Challenge

It's 2AM! I have hair dye in my hair, I'm snacking on soybean cherry nut trail mix and listening to Lady GaGa...not being able to sleep. Since it's a Friday, I'm not beating myself up too much about not being able to sleep because I don't have to be at work in the morning.

So not a lot of you challenged me to try and go vegetarian for a week. Only one person did, and that was my "Filipino sister" Deanna. I did decide to try it and see if I could live without. It's not like my mind has been playing stress games with me a lot lately.

So to prepare for "the vegetarian challenge" I went to Target and bought vegetarian chicken nuggets and Boca meatless burger patty's. I'll probably start tomorrow...it's good timing since I bought my CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) dietary supplement pills from GNC. I want to drop a few more pounds before my final two NKOTB concert excursions for the rest of the year.

While on my Target shopping excursion I found the soybean cherry nut trail mix I'm snacking on now and some rye and flax crackers (it's really not as bad as it sounds). I can tolerate eating it for the sake of my diet. I'm one of those people that can modify my tastes and eat something until it states to taste good.

I also couldn't deny getting myself a grande iced coffee with soy milk from the Starbucks that was calling my name from within the store. Soy milk counts in a vegetarian diet, I checked!

So from the time I got home from Target, until now, I've been searching online for new jobs. It's time to move on, I've repeated it a million times in my head. It's been almost two years and I guess all I'm good for is beating my fingerprints on a keyboard all day. Time to break out of the shell...
