Good Mornings

Remember when I tore my ACL and all I could do was talk about my ACL? Inside, it drove me CRAZY. It was all I wanted to talk about but I was sick of hearing about it. I wanted to talk about something else but I COULDN'T. It was a catch-22 of sorts.

Well, the feeling is baaaaack. This time, the topic of choice is being a vegetarian. I am so completely enamored with the subject. Everything I read, sleep, breathe and eat (literally) is vegetarian. It affects every aspect of my life. I. Can't. Stop. Thinking. About. It.

So today's post? You guessed it. It's about Me! Being a vegetarian!

My latest discovery on why I love being meat-free: Every day I wake up before my alarm goes off.

Let's back this story up. I am not a morning person. I have never been a morning person. I am the type of person that hits snooze for a solid half hour before groggily rolling out of bed.

So you can imagine my surprise when last week, I started waking up early. The first day that it happened, I opened my eyes and realized that my alarm wasn't going off. Naturally, I panicked and thought that I'd overslept. I rolled over and looked at the clock to assess the damage...and was shocked and amazed to learn that my alarm wasn't scheduled to buzz for another 10 minutes. Score!! So I spent a few minutes chillin' in bed and relaxing. A lovely way to start the morning.

So yes, I am feeling fantastic with my new dietary choices. I haven't had any trouble finding things to eat. I'm getting plenty of protein. I am excited to try new recipes. And waking up early? It's like I'm getting a karmic high-five every morning. LOVE.
