Maybe this will work for me, maybe it won't.

So, thanks to Zephii's "Food" blog, I've been thinking more about what (and how much!) I'm eating. Which, in turn, is leading me towards becoming a "mostly" vegetarian. I say "mostly" because I'm pretty much already there - but I don't necessarily want to entirely give up chicken. And bacon.

But really, I need to increase the amount of fruits & veggies (mostly veggies) I'm consuming. I want to be eating better, and not just so I can lose weight before the wedding. I want to be healthier - and yea, okay, I want to look freaking hot for the big day - but I want to FEEL better. I don't feel healthy right now, I feel like a lazy turd.

So, I guess this is the beginning of a semi-vegetarian life? I mean, I've basically already cut out red meats (unintentionally) so limiting the amount of poultry I eat shouldn't be hard... especially since I get too lazy to cook it, ha! I have recently (aka yesterday) discovered ground flax seeds. I've heard about the benefits of it (fiber and protein) but hadn't ever really looked at buying any when I was at the store. I know that whole seeds are better (and last longer) but I don't have a food processor.

Note to self: add food processor to the registry...BRB

OK back. (Food processor added! I admit I'm registering for things on my registry I might not buy for us, but that I think we would definitely use. Like expensive bed sheets.)

So I'm definitely trying to be more active, but it's frustrating when people are posting things on fb/twitter/etc that are like "Lost another two pounds this week!" And I'm like, wth. Clearly I'm doing something wrong, because I didn't lose 2 pounds this week OR last week. Here's hoping a change in diet will help that.

  I'm opposite of Lucybelle, I think duck is disgusting!
  
  I'ma be the person I hate, but maybe you haven't had good duck yet? I've had very mediocre duck, and freaking melts in your mouth, delicious, fatty duck.
  
  (people always say that to me when I say I don't like steak. "Well you just haven't had good steak!" I've had good steak, and I don't like it! )

  I spent a week in Beijing about 4 years ago (has it really been that long already??!?!) and had peking duck. It was amazing. Definitely not something I'd eat on a regular basis, but I couldn't pass it up. (I did, however, pass up the fish with it's head and eyes still staring at me. Creepy.)
  
  I'm not a big red meat person at all, lucybelle, which is why me "giving up" red meats has been mostly a, "oh. I don't remember the last time I ate red meat".
  
  On the "new vegetarian" note: I had chicken pot pie for lunch today...

  We have (or had) an add on telly here. It said "If you don't like chicken there is something very very wrong with you" and I feel I must agree with that.
  
  But that aside, I feel you. I have those people losing weight on my social media too and I'm like.. WTH? Why is it so hard this time? But we'll get there. And you'll have beautiful photos to prove it.
