getting mobilized

[Guest guest]

Okay, I'm thinking I would really like to transition more toward

vegetarian eating, more of the time. Following the " evolution, not

revolution " dictum, I'm trying to come up with a plan that will

allow me to make this change and not a) spook myself and 2) leave my

body short on anything it needs. (actually I'm thinking it could be

even better because I'll HAVE to work more with vegetables!)

 

So here's what I can do. My breakfast is always vegetarian (George's

Restore shake, brown, veggie juice), no work needed there. Lunches

are leftovers from dinner 99.999% of the time. So I simply need to

develop some dinners that will work for me. It's not as hard as I

thought!

 

I've been a bit haphazard about my meal planning lately; my animal-

protein meals are good and program-solid but not very inspiring. So

I can see this as an opportunity to delve into those great

vegetarian cookbooks and come up with a few things that will work

for me, and start to incorporate them regularly. I can journal,

journal, journal to make sure I stay steady and my body stays happy.

It feels a bit like learning to work step 3 again -- baby steps,

planning, and getting used to new things!

 

I think I'll start by cooking some chickpeas in my crockpot today,

and making an Indian dish with them (khatte chhole, sour chickpeas).

I'll let you know how it turns out!

Val, I love how you are taking baby

steps in this and not trying to do it all at once . So wise!

 

Your chick pea recipe sounds wonderful,

if the dish comes out ok, would you mind sharing it?
