Ed Blog: Veggie By Day

A few months ago, the G-Life girls blogged about going vegan until dinner. It seemed like a good idea, but not exactly for me. Lately, though, I’ve been doing the veggie-girl-by-day thing (and eating a bit of meat at dinner) all the time. How many of you girlies are vegetarians?
 
At first, it seemed tough to eat healthy AND veggie foods and not be totally starving by 4 p.m. Then, I started upping the ante at breakfast. I ditched the daily cereal and started grabbing plain oatmeal with nuts, whole-wheat waffles with peanut butter and an apple or an egg with peppers and toast. Suddenly, I was snacking less and didn’t wolf down my lunch (which is usually a vegetable soup and barley). Love it.
 
I won’t be going full-on veggie anytime soon (I heart sushi wayyy too much), but stocking up on nutritious grains and greens before din makes me feel fab every day!
 
Oh, and P.S. Have you signed up for the Turkey Day Challenge yet?! I’m so on board.
