A change has come~

I was on hiatus from my blog last week, did yall miss me cuz I sure missed yall!

Sometimes I have to step back and kind of “see where my head is”, so to speak. I am, by nature, a multitasking maniac so I’ve always got a million things going at once. Now that I have started my business, and I’m commuting between states to see my family, I’m even MORE on the go! I did some thinking, made a few decisions, and I’m pretty pleased with the outcome. A little over 3 months ago, I made the decision to stop eating meat. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it thru the first 30 days and when I survived, I decided to stick with it. The next 60 days were tough for me. At first I thought I was doing pretty well but then I got to a point where I felt like I was starving to death and that was NOT the biz! Once I got past what to eat, I started experiencing a whole new issue. Fructose Malabsorbtion; who knew too much fruit could make you sick? *look it up and you’ll see what I was going thru* As soon as I backed off the fruits, all the issues I was having stopped. A decision had to be made and fast! My biggest obstacle, and I knew this going into my vegetarianism lifestyle, is that I don’t like a huge variety of veggies, and those that I do like I only like raw. I commend folks who live a complete RAW lifestyle, some days; momma needs some heat on her food! Okay so after painful deliberation, I have started eating meat again and the process has been interesting for me. We’ll just say, my body has been “adjusting” to processing meats again. I never said I disliked meat, and having been extremely successful with Atkins, you can imagine how hard NOT eating it has been for me. I have had chicken and beef so far and every bite has been pure heaven! I missed it something terrible, I didn’t know it when I wasn’t eating it but now I realize how yummy a great burger is!! *LOL* I am my biggest critic and the decision to go back to eating meat was about as difficult as my decision to wean my daughter before she turned 1. The guilt was something awful! I’m not one to quit anything but my awesome hubby helped me to see one of the things that I honestly believe; ‘EVERYTHING AIN’T FOR EVERYBODY.” I’m proud that I made it the 90 days, which was HUGE for me! I will buy organic meats though, it costs more but I’ll pay for more quality food.  I highly recommend that everyone step out of your comfort zone at least once and give vegetarianism a try. If it works for you great, if not, then at least you’ve tried something new. As for yours truly, it feels good to be back to my old self; a Hello Kitty loving diehard carnivore!
