Wednesday started lent, which started my fourty days without beef. In all truth it will be 46 days if you count Sundays. Although this is difficult for me, I do not care to eat any other kind of meat, I fully intent to see this through.
Giving up beef, along with quiting smoking due to health reasons (will discuss in another blog), have proven to be harder than I thought it would be. Giving these two up at the same time has caused me to be irritable, made me realize everything stinks, and is really jacking up my sleeping habits. But I know in the long-run this is really good for me.
This experience has made me realize that beef is everywhere, yeah… so are smokers. It is hard to eat at a fast food joint if you are not a beef eater. I really believe they need to work on the menu to accomodate people who do not eat burgers or beef tacos.
As I stated this will be a 46 day ordeal.. of which I have completed four. I am certain in this time there will be more post on this experience. You know… if you are going through this, it would be great if you share your experiences!
