859klm's Journal, 02 May 2018

I haven't weighed but am likely 137-8ish. when I started working I stopped working out w any regularity and the eating went to help pretty much. I've tried to keep the protein high so as to preserve muscle and the job is very strenuous at that.
Suddenly I've had a personal epiphany after reading some interesting articles, YouTube channels and considering my personal health challenges.
I plan to transition to a meatless diet and may go further and drop dairy also in time. this is huge for me. but knowing what is in my family history and knowing I've struggled to keep certain tests in any respectable range I think this is the one thing I would almost never have considered.

I'm excited and hopeful and I also know ive enjoyed eating many animal products. So first to vegetarian and possibly a fully whole food plant based way of eating. I think it will be so enjoyable to make veggies and fruits promonant. I like cooking and flavors and there are so many high quality sources of menus and advice. I may end up a vegan or a flexitarian but it has begun.
