Out with the …. and in with the improved me

I watched Forks over Knives this morning.  Released earlier this year, the movie/documentary basically examines the claim that most degenerative diseases can be controlled or reversed by adopting a whole foods plant-based diet and eliminating processed or animal-based foods.
Rotten Tomatoes gave the film 3 tomatoes but I give it 5.

I am lacto-ovo vegetarian already so I share a lot of the same beliefs. However, I am not the best vegetarian in the world. Think boring, uncreative meals.
I always struggle with time and making quick eats. As I get more into the running scene and set more goals for myself, I’ve taken a hard look at my diet. There’s good stuff there but there’s a lot of room for improvement.

I’m still going strong with the out with the bagels in with the nutrition whim.
Thankfully Carleigh is trying to put a little more green in her diet too. We can be obsessive together!
Changing my eating habits when I return to work will be the most challenging. I need to prepare the week snacks and meals in advance. I do that somewhat now but not every day.

And on those days I would either skip a meal or simply eat toast.  I know – bad vegetarian. (Hence why I am going cold turkey on toast and bagels).

My new eating goals starting yesterday:

• No more bagels or toast for breakfast
• Eat three meals and two snacks every day
• Try new recipes (including more homemade soups)
• Use more spices in my cooking 
• Reduce intake of processed food
• Make my own salad dressings and sauces
