Let me take a minute to introduce myself. Well, the parts that aren't in the "about me" section. I have been married since May, 2011 to my best friend and biggest supporter, Charlie. He's one of those guys that brings you flowers just because, makes me laugh when I want to cry and supports all my endeavors, no matter how ridiculous. Seriously, I could probably say I want to enroll in belly dancing school and he'd find a way. I'm pretty stinkin' blessed!
Our most recent endeavor is vegetarianism. Now, I have always been a meat and potatoes kinda gal and I have the waistline to prove it. Charlie and I have said time and time again we need to lose weight and get healthy. A few weeks ago the light bulb finally clicked and rather than just saying it we started working on making it happen. In doing research, Charlie started really looking into the effects of meat on your body as well as the treatment of animals. Since then he hasn't had any meat at all and I've had significantly less (I had a few weak moments). Is this a phase? Maybe. But I've gotta say I feel better in just the last two weeks than I've felt in a while.
As I mentioned, we're on a budget. There is always that concern, "It's too expensive to eat healthy, yadda, yadda, yadda". Well, we can't use that excuse anymore. We've got to make it work, so here goes!
Well, that's the first thing on my mind for tonight and I do hope you'll pop by once I get busy posting more of the interesting stuff. Ya' know, projects and vegetarian recipes that don't make me miss meat too much, etc. Until then, take a good look at the world around you and be inspired.
