The following are the brief journals I kept as I went a total of 48 hours without meat:
Forty-eight hours without meat! If this does not drive me insane, I don’t know what will! Honestly, for me this will be like a lion resisting the urge to rip into what the lioness has brought back to the pack. Seriously though, this may be more of an experiment to test my level of addiction to meat.
Twelve hours into my temporary vegetarian state…AGH!! No, don’t worry about me; I am only having a hard time focusing in my classes. I feel a little more tired than normal and my muscles are sore as well. Other than that I am doing great!!! Veggies Rock!!
A few hours to go until the completion of my first 24 hours without meat! I have decided that I am going to have to go 24 hours without meat, eat a meal with meat, and then proceed with my next 24 hours without meat…this is not fun. I like meat.
It has been 24 hours! Two of my friends and I broke my meat fast by ordering two large Papa John’s pizzas (one pepperoni, the other sausage) along with 16 chipolte honey barbeque chicken drummies! What did I eat of this meal? Four slices of pizza along with six drummies! So good!!
I am now on my second interval (choosing the word interval to show this is more of an exercise of personal will rather than a personal choice). I am handling the lack of meat much better this time around. However, I am still finding myself thinking about it…a lot!
Finally I have completed my total of 48 hours without meat! I cannot say that I would have been able to complete the challenge all at once. It is a good thing that I broke the time in half with one meal of meat in between. This method, quite honestly, saved me a mental break down! I don’t know if I would have been able to complete 48 hours without part of me dying in the processes. What does this experiment tell us about me? I don’t care if it was once a cute little animal, I need to survive! I am sorry, but this guy will not be becoming a vegetarian anytime soon!!
