For all of those that are concerned with the lack of updates....for the last few days- Here is the deal:
This vegetarian thing is not hard to do at all, but its just very boring. For example, I posted the meals I was having for the first few days with some added jokes for humor.... but then I realized that every day after that I was eating the exact same thing, posting that would just be boring, unless I talked about something else to make it interesting- That would be fine too, but then the blog would have nothing to do with being a vegetarian-....This blog would be a lot more interesting if were a vegetarian and was going to become a meat eater, because I promise you that I would an exciting new dish every day to post about-
So after giving this a lot of thought on how to make this blog exciting, here is what I came up with...The readers want to see successes and failures, success alone is just boring! And plus, If I am meeting my goals and its very easy, it certainly does not make for good entertainment, as we all know every good story or plot certainly requires a conflict! I sacrificed my personal beliefs for the sake of blog entertainment.... so here is what happened for the last two days and today!-
I pretended that I was really craving to eat meat, and I just could not take it anymore...So two days ago I got in my car, went straight to Wendys, ordered a # 5 Double, which is double bacon cheeseburger, large fries, 5 piece nugget (BBQ Sauce), and a Large Diet Coke- and finished everything completely including the soda in less than 60 seconds.- and after that I told myself that I can just go back to my routine the next day...but when the next day came, I realized that if being a vegetarian is so easy, let me just do this for a few more days- So the next day I went to 5 guys, and had double bacon cheeseburger, a hot dog (very under rated), large cajun fries, and large diet coke (took about 5 mins)....and then today I had a meat lovers pizza - But its ok....Tomorrow is a new day with a new sun rise....So hopefully this very difficult sacrifice on my part will provide the entertainment for the readers that was missing for the past few days....

- 1311- Never Thought that moving down a trophic level would be so easy...
Another day down....nothing too exciting- its more of the same- Just more potato pancakes, Subway Veggie Patty Sandwich was great.... its an excellent alternative. I mean it certainly not something I am dying to eat again...(the feeling you get when eating a Mcrib) but it was something I can eat and be satisfied depending on the toppings....-

The Prequel- The Last Failure in 2009
As you all may know from reading my background, I have attempted this similar operation back in 2009, where I lasted 33 days (Although some may beg to differ) But trust me it was 33 days, at least that is my stand. That is the main reason I am doing this blog this time around, so there are enough witnesses and there is no room for uncertainty.
Also, I thought it was important for everyone to know the reason for the failure last time- So I was going strong, everything was wonderful, and I was actually very proud telling people I was a vegetarian. I was officially a vegetarian, since i passed the 30 day mark. Then one day, I can remember it like it was yesterday- I went out drinking with a friend (who shall remain nameless), and I was not going to be driving home so I had plenty to drink... plenty meaning, more than enough and then some. At 3:30am me and him were in the Wendys Drive Through, I broke my streak with a Double Bacon Cheeseburger, Large Fries, Large Diet Coke, Five Piece Nuggets, and BBQ Sauce....
When I woke up in the morning, it was a very weird feeling. It was all over, all my efforts down the drain...I just sat there for hours thinking of ways of defining what I was feeling.... and the only analogy I could come up with....its a little explicit, but certainly fits...
I felt like a girl that had a LOT to drink the night before, and ended up doing something that I did not want to do, and went against my beliefs.....Did not know where to go from there.... so I just indulged in all kinds of meat products from then till Dec 31st, 2010-

Jan 2nd - 1211 - .... This is very easy.
I am getting way too confident with this, certainly no cravings for any meat products- Had some toast and butter in the morning....Then an ethnic dish for lunch - Potato Pancakes (Aloo Parantha) along with Yogurt...
Finished it off with with a grand finale dinner-
Noodles with Vegetables, One Potato Pancake, and almost an entire bottle of Patron Silver (Tequilla)
Coping with Vegetarianism with Alcohol- Perfect Solution, whatever works.

Second Day (Jan 1st) AKA - 1111 - For those who noticed...
Surprisingly, 2nd was easy as well... I guess the momentum is still strong....Very easy day in terms of meals.....- Cheesecake in the morning- Pasta for Lunch - and...... for Dinner-
Egg Salad Sandwich & Fries... (Vegan is phase 2- ... just not right now).... I will admit that this "transformation" would be very difficult if the McRib was still available at Mcdonalds, so conveniently I begun this right after the limited time Mcrib offering ended- For those who have not tried one yet.... I have no words to explain what you are missing out on-....Next time when it comes back, please take advantage of these finer things in life.
