Meals this week

In case anyone wants some inspiration, I'm going to post my meals for the upcoming week. I'm transitioning into a vegetarian diet for a meat-free March, which I may keep up if I enjoy it. I've been interested in vegetarianism/veganism for a long time, both because of my interest in health and my fiance's interest in environmental sustainability. I'm starting to feel more and more that whilst I do enjoy meat, I don't need to have it all the time. Food/environmental gurus Michael Pollan and Graham Hill suggest that reducing our intake of meat, even just a few days a week, would have dramatic results for the food and agriculture industries. So I'm seeing what I can do.

But I can't even begin to give up eggs. The goat milk stays too. So consider me an ovo-semi-lacto vegetarian for March, and maybe just a flexetarian after.

Anyway, this week's meals are:

Breakfast/Pre-workout: Smoothie (1/2 cup frozen cherries, 1/2 frozen banana, 1-2 handfuls spinach, scoop vegan protein powder, 1 cup coconut milk, mint leaves)
Morning snack/Post-workout: Homemade banana flapjack w/ strawberries or Almond butter on Ezekiel bread
Lunch: Root vegetable lunch pot (Organic cous cous, carrots, sweet potato, swede, onion & chopped tomatoes seasoned with cinnamon & curry powder)
Afternoon snack: Chickpeas & cucumber tossed with tahini, lemon juice, olive oil & mint leaves
Dinner: Finishing off my Turkey hummus meatloaves w/ paprika sweet potato fries; Wholemeal spaghetti w/ olives, feta cheese, red onion & sundried tomatoes (mmm, fat); Broccoli, leek & potato soup

Since I didn't eat too well over the weekend and today I went over my calories due to an extreeeme sugar craving (the peanut brittle in my car is well and truly GONE), I'm going to weigh myself Friday and decide then if I deserve a treat. If so, I'll probably visit Shipley's at some point over the weekend! Yay, forbidden donuts! I know I will be feeling crazy ill after so I will be sure to pair it with lots of water, perhaps a green tea and walking.
