We are at day 4 already but I gotta say, my day didn’t start very smoothly. I had slept badly last night and I was still tired when I woke up this morning. So with a bad mood I started the day by making breakfast. For breakfast I had some bread, like usually, and some coffee cause I really needed that after having a short sleep. 

Later that day I decided to go to a nearby city together with a friend of mine. We also had lunch there and I ordered a delicious pizza at a pizzeria. It had lots of cheese, vegetables and other things on it, they had enough vegetarian pizzas luckily so you can still enjoy eating fast food when you are vegetarian.

After I got back home in the evening, I had dinner. My mother made a couscous salad for us and it tasted very nice. She had added feta cheese and different sorts vegetables to it. I am still not craving for meat yet and am still fine without it so I will just go on like this. See you tomorrow.

The third day as being a vegetarian started casually by making myself some sandwiches, just like the first day. I ate some bread with chocolate pasta on it and I also made my lunch already so I could take it with me, because today I had to work at my little part-time job (like a small job for teenagers so they can earn a little money). I work at a local garden center if you are wondering.  So for lunch I had bread as well.

After I came back from work I went to the supermarket to buy a salad for supper. I bought one of those “ready-to-eat” dinner salads that are already complete and ready, you probably know them. They had different sorts of salads and I bought the only vegetarian one they had. It was a salad with lettuce, goat cheese and some other ingredients. It tasked ok, but I probably won’t buy it for a second time. 

My vegetarian journey is going well so far and this shows me that I can easily live a life without eating meat. 

Today I started the day by making myself a tosti. Normally I put ham on my tosti but that is not going to happen obviously , so I only put cheese on it. It still tasted great but that slice of ham would have made it a little more tastier. 

In the afternoon, I made some musli for lunch and I added some apple and yogurt to it. Pretty simple to make and also very healthy and of course….. vegetarian. 

For dinner I had spaghetti with pesto and some arugula and pine nuts, a very delicious recipe which is also really easy to make. I expected that I would really miss eating meat during this month, but so far it is actually going very easily and I am not missing it at all. But it is only the second day of course so who knows how the rest of the month will go.

The first day as a vegetarian went smoothly and easily. I didn’t have to adjust my eating pattern for breakfast and lunch, I just ate bread and that’s easy to keep vegetarian as long as you don’t use meat products as a sandwhich filling, there are enough other fillings for vegetarians such as sprinkles or cheese to put on your bread. However, I still had to partly adjust my dinner. The other members of my family ate potatoes with vegetables and meat and I had vegetarian meat instead of normal meat. The vegetarian meat was made on a basis of soy protein and really looked liked normal meat. The taste was almost exactly like real meat as well and is therefore a perfect meat substitute for vegetarians. During this day I didn’t have to adjust for anything else and for most of the time I was able to continue with my old eating pattern.
