I am starting my New Year's Resolution a bit early this season. Actually, I am starting one for the first time ever. I have decided on a daily challenge: one thing every day that contributes positively to my overall well-being. I figured this one might be easy enough to actually keep. I know, keeping a resolution- crazy thinking!
Today, I will make one of my meals meat-free. I know I know, meat is a good source of protein. But a lot of it is full of saturated fat, and I assure you the kind I eat is. So I will try to substitute that icky meat with a leaner protein or low-fat dairy. I never eat meat for breakfast so I am opting for a meatless lunch.
Now I must admit that if there was only one thing I could cut out of my diet without much effort it would be meat (bar the occasional steak). I could easily be happy with a dinner plate full offried roasted veggies. So this first challenge isn't exactly stretching my limits. (Just wait for the day without brownies- my Apocalypse.) But "they" say easing into a commitment increases the likelihood of completion. We'll see how this one turns out.
