Diary Entry #12 Reflection on my journey

Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:54:22 -0400

Sadly and happily this is the end of my journey of being a vegetarian. Not so much the end of my journey for using mugs and reusable water bottles, that I will continue with and hope to influence others with. Being a vegetarian did teach me a lot; I never knew that it was helpful for the environment or that it had an effect on our planet. I think that being a vegetarian and using reusable drink cups had a small impact on the earth, if everyone made this small impact with even just one of these things we as a global community could have a huge effect on the wellbeing of our earth. I think that vegetarians have started a trend same with using reusable drink cups that has cot on, educating people about how much this helps and what it is doing to help I think will make the trend even bigger and encourage more to adapt to the lifestyle. There were a few people that asked me about why I was being vegetarian for the month and what else I was doing, many were very surprised, just like I was to find out the effect that eating meat has on the environment, and that that is a reason that some people give it up. The reusable water bottle as well people were shocked to hear how much of a different it made and what large effect our waste had on our global community.

I think that was I did wasn’t impractical or inefficient because that would be like saying that every person that dose a little bit to help the environment has no greater impact. I believe that yes it is a very small impact but in the bigger picture it has a larger impact and one day will hopefully be more meaningful. I think that to the people around me or ones that knew what I was doing for this project, they were also affected because they knew what was happening and were in a way educated buy hearing me talk about my blog and the things I had found out, and then watching me put those into effect. I personally really liked the blog idea because I think it is a perfect and modern way to inform people about what you are doing without bombarding them with information. They can look at what they would like and aren’t forced into anything.

If I was to do this project again, I think I would do it for a little bit longer. Though I found this extremely painful do I think that I was just starting to get the hang of it at the end of the month and a little bit more time I think would have made my experience that much more interesting. I really enjoyed writing this blog and learning about a different lifestyle that is for the better of our community and environment, I also thank my follower and many people that inspired me with their posts and their many food recipes and ideas.

10 Healthy Sweet Potato Recipes!

For a humble root vegetable, the sweet potato sure does have a lot going for it. The orange tuber packs 438% of your daily value of infection-fighting vitamin A and, like carrots, sweet potatoes are a major source of skin-protecting beta-carotene. While bananas are often touted as the go-to source of potassium, a medium sweet potato has 28% more potassium than a banana. (The mineral helps your body absorb fluids to replace sweat losses.)

Whether sweet potatoes only enter your kitchen on Thanksgiving or they have a regular spot in your cooking rotation, you could probably use more delicious ways to prepare them. Here are 10 recipes for dishes from fries to soup—each with about 300 calories or less.

Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Gingered Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

Spiced Sweet Potato Chips

Baked Sweet Potato Latkes

Rosemary Sweet Potato Wedges

Chili-Spiced Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Apple and Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Ginger Sweet Potato Cheesecake

Marshmallow Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Diary Entry #10 (Wednesday May 30th 2012)

Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:15:15 -0400

Ok eating lunch near my school has many choices, but sadly i am slowly and painfully realizing that they all have different meat containing goodness meals. I am going to list all the food places that are my fav that have meat in them that i cant have.

Heaven on Earth lunch spots:

- Bread and butter (chicken sandwich)

- Joe’s aka Aristotals (Honey garlic wings) (Chicken fingers and fries)

- Subway (Most sandwitches with meat slices, tuna, or bacon in them)

- Longest Yard (they have vegi freindly things but a lot of the non vegi things are like heaven)

- Sushie place (Everything that is good)

- Thai places (pad-tie with shrimp)

Some of the places it is sad but after 4 years i dont know that name of them, though these are my fav spots to go right now.

fresh2deathjuicers:

Maximize your weight-loss and be good to the Earth

Even though I will be following a vegetarian diet after my reboot, I like to help out all my fitspos and weight-loss bloggers.

according to weight-loss and nutrition guru, dr. joel fuhrman, meat and dairy consumption should be limited to no more that 12 ounces weekly. this will dramatically help your health over all and help you to increase your fat loss.

many people often say, “but i just can’t live without…(cheese,milk,chicken,xyz)” well be grateful, you don’t have to! just cut back. moderate.

if you want it. you can do it.

I dont think it should be legal to take such wonderful pics of food because it makes you so hungry and every time i do my blog i want to eat like three of the different posts. I love that so many neat things are posted on one site, with instructions on most on how to make them as well.

Also a lot of Vegi blogs and vegan ones have an element of fitness on them, i have learned that there are a lot of really cool differnt ways to work out that i am definetly going to start doing :)

I went to sushi today with my friends, during our school lunch brake and i was dyeing i cant eat any of the amazing meals so i had a salad :(

fresh2deathjuicers:

when telling people you are on a vegan or vegetarian diet, they often respond, “but how will you get enough protein?”

pure proof how the food pyramid has misled U.S.

let’s reverse misconceptions…educate others about the health advantages of skipping out on meats or reducing intake to improve health
