Confessions of a Carnivore...

I NEED A CHANGE!

I am so tired of eating meat. I need more energy and lately meat has been looking a little crazy. I think I am starting to hate it. Last year, I went through the Lent season sans carne- and it wasn't as bad as I had feared. I thought I would be dragging myself to Carl's Jr. like a dehydrated person in a waterless desert. See I am coming from tamales, menudo and tacos. But I was cool. You just have to be a little creative. That is what I plan to do. I feel the need to detoxify my life both spiritually and mentally (not in a crazy extreme way- I just want to be at peace with myself). Going vegetarian is just one of the tools that I plan to implement. Last year I got inspired by dead prez and you know it ended as soon as Easter rolled around. 40 days and then poof, I was chowing on the meat again. It actually felt foreign yet I remembered how good it was. Plus, the Atkins diet will send any meat lover to the otherside- (just the sight of a crazy invention that Carl's Jr. calls the breakfast bowl is enough for me to never want to see meat again).

So this time I vow to make it last, which means that I will be reading up on this mess. But there's a catch: I am going to continue eating fish. What would I do without SUSHI!!!! Ha- I could never give that up. For all you people who have slept on dead prez, I suggest you go out and and buy one of their CDs. I personally like them all but try Lets Get Free- it will inspire healthy thoughts.

Be Healthy- dead prez
I don't eat no meat
No dairy, No sweets
Only rice, vegetables
Fresh fruit and whole wheat

I'll let you know phase #2- tommorow
Peace
