Day 1 of Oprah-inspired food challenge

Day 1 - Going Vegetarian
Exercise - 7 KM Easy night run
Summary - Full but not quite satiated/satisfied!

As mentioned previously, I am attempting to re-invent my eating habits according to days of the week. And today I'm trying out being vegetarian. I'll be honest. Initially I wanted to delve right in and try being vegan but I made the mistake of having milk (a by-product!) this morning. Time to stock on the soy milk again.
I reckon this is the first time in my life ever, that i had gone a whole entire day without any sort of meat. The horror!

So here's what I had.
Brekkie - 2% milk and my favourite muesli bar.
Lunch - button mushroom and baby spinach one-egg omelette with croutons. (Homemade!)
Tea - A mug of English Breakfast and 2 Oat Chocolate Chip cookies (Homemade!)
Dinner - 1/2 Plain Roti Prata/Canai with dhal ...
... and the remaining 1/2 I had with a spoon of seri kaya for dessert (bad but so gooood)
Snacks - Vegetarian samosa and spring roll and a little mug of Horlicks with Equal.


Not sure this is the healthiest dinner I've had - quite a bit of fried stuffs, more than I'd usually have. But you know what, going meatless wasn't too bad. Being vegetarian wasn't too bad!

What day will tomorrow be? I'll figure it out when I wake up. But I'm thinking, it's white meat day!
