Hey guys- sorry i know it's been ages since I posted.Wanted to post a short update real quick though. So, yeah I'm really in shock that 2013 is almost over! are you kidding me? It seems like just yesterday it was January 1st! I now know what my dad always talks about, " A year goes by super fast when you're an adult." Well, I'm in no way an adult yet, but I know what it's like for time to fly now- as I'm getting older. I just can't believe it's Christmas time already! Our tree has been up for a few days now- we bought a pre- lit fake one this year- not as awesome as a real one( true) but truth be told, it's a lot less of a pain:0 :). We did the traditional decorating on Wednesday and decorated our house for Christmas on Sunday. I need to get with the show and start thinking Christmas gifts and vegetarian Christmas meal plans- lol. I guess Christmas came really fast this year- because of how late Thanksgiving was.
which by the way- I had an awesome Thanksgiving. We got to have both of my parents'parents over and had a delicious spread- turkey, stuffing, corn, zuccini, homemade rolls that I made, & pumpkin pie. I was so excited for my first vegetarian thanksgiving. I made pumpkin soup for the first time- it was amazing! Creamy and nourishing- it satisfied me but didn't give a' too full" feeling.
I recently decided that for just this month I wanted to go back to eating meat. It wasn't an easy decision- considering over 7 months since I last had some. I say not easy, because for one thing I didn't want to break my strict diet, but for another- I really have been craving a Swenson's cheeseburger and some of my mom's Mediterranean chicken- lol. The other night when I had some home-made pizza with turkey pepperoni and sausage- I seriously considered permantely going back to being a carnivore- because of how good it tasted:). But afterwards I got the dreaded" heavy" feeling I hate- to sum my vegetarian life style during the next 7 months I would use these 3 words, " I feel better." I Feel soo much better when I don't eat meat- in the long run I feel better with eating light meals, or filling up on light foods like vegetables, complex carbs, and cheese. Which is why I'm planning to go back to a vegetarian life-style and stick with it in 2014. I don't think after this month- that I will ever want to go back to eating meat again- unless of course I'm stranded on an island and there's nothing to eat but burgers- lol!
not much else going on right now- just preparing for Christmas and starting off the boys's basketball season. They are now playing at a big, cool gym - the only con is their games are on Sunday- which is kinda a bum- but their first game was pretty cool and intense:)
hope you guys have a great weekend!
