I'm baaaaack.....

Ok, so I have missed blogging.  It's been over a year.  What better time to start, than January...it's a new year.

So...First up.....New Years Resolutions...  Mine is for the DOGS!

D - Diet & Exercise
O - Organization
G - God
S - Simplify & Surrender

To start with the D...Today was my first day as a vegetarian.  I have given up red meat for a while now, but after having some "issues", and also eating unhealthy for the past year...I'm going to try it for a while. :)  I'll be blogging/journaling about my menu's and plans...feel free to offer any advice.

I’m a Vegetarian…Day 1

Today went better than expected. :)  Grocery shopped…and read a lot of labels.  They sneak meat in everything!  Here’s the menu for today
Breakfast - Protein shake
Snack - Almonds
Lunch - Mixed green salad with walnuts, cranberries, grapefruit and feta
Snack - Hummus with carrots & low fat pita chips
Dinner - Southwestern Black Bean soup - YUM!
Snack - Honey Roasted Soy Beans
Drink - 32 oz. of  Dr. Oz's Tangerine Weight-orade Green Tea
Exercise - Ran/Walked 2.2 miles
Probably went too much on the “fat” side with all the nuts today…but I’m okay with that for now.
