Day 2

Since we are slowly easing into the diet, I had cheese pizza for lunch. I felt much better as I got to sleep in. We went for a bike ride in the afternoon and then I had a softball game at night. By the time I got home I was real hungry. I grilled soy burgers for dinner. I am not a fan of soy at all. I could have seasoned the patties, but I just had it with cheese and pickles. After taking a bite I immediately wanted a REAL burger. This will be a long month and a half!

Introduction

Hello friends! I started this blog to record my experiences over the next 45 days. I have decided to become a vegetarian just to see what all the fuss is about. I wanted to mix things up, so here I go. The rule is absolutely no meat of any kind. I'll still eat dairy products, so I won't be a vegan. If anything this will amuse and entertain you while I suffer the withdrawals of a steady meat diet.
