Day 16 -still going strong!

I have sucessdully been vegetarian for over 2 weeks now! I think that is the longest time I have ever gone without meat. I have been eating salmon a lot...I just love it but maybe I am eating too much? I know you have to be careful with tuna but I'm not sure about salmon. I always eat wild pacific salmon...mmmmm delish.
I have probably increased my vegetable intake a bit but I want to aim for more. I also need to expand my repertoire of recipes...maybe some nice stuffed peppers or portabellos this weekend?
I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and I don't think there will be a lot of vegetarian choices so I might just make a decision to eat meat if that's all there is. I'm not going to starve and have low blood sugar just for the sake of it but maybe there will something that I can just remove the meat from?
The weather this September has been stunning. It's been like Mid July for the past 2 weeks, so hot and the sky is just the most amazing blue colour. The only downside is the very low sun that co-incides exactly with my drive to and from work. I drive East in the morning, looking at the sun and West on my my way home. I keep having panics as I can literally see NOTHING out of the window ahead of me for sections of road. It's quite scary. I think you are supposed to pull over if that happens but it would take me an hour to get home (7k) as I 'd have to sit there for 20 mins while the sun goes out of range. There has to be a better solution!

Keep it up Sally! Is it easier or harder to go without meat than you thought it would be?
We are enjoying an extended summer too - I hope it never ends :)

It's not too hard really, I just have to be prepared and ensure that I eat fantastically tasty food so that I don't feel the need for meat!
I did eat meat at the wedding as there was effectively bread and salad which was not enough to sustain me properly for the duration of the event (went til midnight) and I was drinking alcohol too.
I'll blog about it later this week with more details!
