You are not going to believe this not in a million years,
especially if you know Keith. I was a bit caught off guard myself. He has
proposed we try to dramatically reduce the amount of meat we eat. Notice, he
didn’t suggest we go full out vegetarian. But he is open to the idea of eating
meat only once or twice a week for dinner.
Before Keith and I got married, I often ate dinners three or
four nights a week that consisted of nothing but fruits and vegetables with a
high-fiber carb on the side like quinoa. I also was going to the gym five days
a week and was in the best shape of my life. Well, since moving in together and
ultimately getting married, we both have let the ball drop on our fitness regimens.
I no longer go to the gym 5 days a week and yoga a couple of times. Keith is no
longer lifting weights and training for marathons. I know. I know. This is
normal, but it’s gotta stop.
For one, I’m tired of battling my closet each morning. I’m
tired of feeling just bleh. When Keith suggested an even healthier approach to
meals, I knew he had reached that point with me. We put it on together, so it’s
now time to take it off together. Just maybe I’ll finally break in those new
running shoes I bought over a month ago.
Stay tuned. I hope to share some of the interesting
vegetarian recipes we try and really enjoy. Not to mention, I’m sure there will
be crazy adventures that we just have to share about the path to fitness.
