I'm definitely a meat lover. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I'm addicted to meat.
I quit smoking a little over a year ago, and--as a reward to myself--I told myself that I would eat steak every single day. Because of my work schedule, I could only eat steak 6 days a week....but I basically stuck to this and ate steak for 6 days each week for the entire year, with very few exceptions.
I recently got kind of got bored with steak and decided to switch to hamburgers. Now I grill 2 hamburgers for my dinner, with bacon, cheese, and mayonaise. And of course, I do this 6 days a week. I'm obsessive this way and it drives my roommate nuts. "Can't you eat steak one day and burgers the next?" he asks.
No. I guess I can't. I'm on to burgers now.
After reading Steve's 30 day trials with veganism and raw foods diet, I became interested and think that I should make a change. I don't know how to do it though. I am allergic to seafood, nuts, and beans, and I basically hate vegetables. I don't even really like chicken all that much. I guess I'm a red meat addict.
But I feel fairly good. And since I quit smoking, I jog six miles three times a week. And I am fairly skinny. I don't remember the last time I got sick even.
I think eating meat helps me sleep. My sleep schedule is a nightmare, by the way. For the past 4 years, I've been working third shift twice a week, then switching back to "normal" hours. Because I don't take naps, this schedule has be sleeping 6 times a week instead of 7 times. It's weird, to say the least.
Sorry there is more than one topic in there...guess I'm a bit out of control!
