Week One

Days One-Six…


…total breeze. I’ve enjoyed pastas, veggie pizzas and all sorts of food. I could maintain at this pace indefinitely. If the entire month could be this easy, I will have totally overestimated the challenge.

Day Seven

Cooked up Stouffers Stuffed Peppers today, thinking they would be a nice little veggie option. Set the oven to 350, waited an hour while they cooked, and sat down to eat. Only then did I realize that there is ground beef in Stouffers Stuffed Peppers. Disappointment sinks in, as my hour of prep time resulted in dog food.

Day Eight.

The challenge is on now. I have been craving a CafĂ© Agora beef and lamb kebab. So much so that I spent an hour reading Yelp reviews about their sweet, tasty meats. If you've never been, go. Kebabs are top notch. The owner spoon fed me a bite, which was weird, but also somehow charming. 

Thought about a secret visit…no one would have to know. Thought about stopping in for a road kebab on the way home. Thought about a lot of things, all related to kebab meat, and clandestine consumption. I now know that I can go seven days without a bite of meat, but by the eighth day, I will have secretive meat fantasies.
