Meet Mrs. Meat

One of my closest friends calls herself a “vegetarian” and it’s sometimes hard to call her a friend. She is from Vermont, so does that excuse her? It might! EP is not the only person in my life afraid of the “was alive, now dead” food option. My sister lives in Idaho and her boyfriend has cows. She would tell you that she has about 100 best friends because she names and becomes friends with each calf that is born. Thus she also will not eat red meat. It’s a problem when her boyfriend brings home Helen for dinner because, well, she just “didn’t make it”. I am a true Montanan, I love meat. Needless to say, if my dinner made noise on a farm, I’ll eat seconds.  

Recently Lana has asked me to stick to a pure protein and veggie diet. At first I thought it would be ridiculously difficult, but honestly it has been awesome! The idea is to kick habits that were starting to creep back into my day. I am still sugar free, which I am very proud of, but the eating junk was starting to come back. On Friday I will be weighing in (at 6:30 in the morning if you want to come) to see the difference protein is making in my life! I am so excited to share with you how it is going. I hope that I’m on track to lose 50 pounds in 180 days. That makes my 6 month weigh in on Halloween. So I think for Halloween I’ll be skinny? That would be nice!
