Random thoughts from a guy who's trying to be a little bit healthier

• So I went to donate blood today. I try to donate blood as often as I can because it's the very least I could do for our society. Is it bad to only think about, "I wonder how much weight I'll lose by giving blood! I should do this more often!"?
• So after giving blood, I went to Subway cuz I was famished. I got a veggie delight (still with cheese, but no may this time). It was delicious and I crushed it. So older, milfy looking gal in tight workout gear comes strolling in. She was very good looking for her age. She ordered a 6-inch roast beef, turkey, and cheese on wheat. All I could think to myself was "You're so killing yourself from the inside out!"
• So I think I got this vegetarian thing pretty much figured out (aside from the eggs and cheese. Leave me alone already!). I fluctuate losing between a total of 20-25 lbs. A pretty good accomplishment in my book. My next accomplishment: Speed up my metabolism! Of the two people who actually read this blog, any ideas of how to do this?
• So Kris has lost a total of 19 lbs and 5 inches off her waist! WOW...so mega proud of her!!! She can thank juicing, vegging, and her own determination for this awesome success! Keep it up!
• So this whole health thing is turning into a movement. On a weekly basis I hear people say that I've inspired them and they are starting to eat less meat and more veggies! However, the best comment came from Nikki. She said she tried to get Dino to start juicing. His reply was "it's illegal and it's weird!"
• The health movement is also rubbing off on my family. The people that I used to cook steak, fried chicken, pork chops, and cheeseburgers for are now starting to slowly head towards the healthier side. But it's not like they have any choice. Only two people cook: me and Grandma. And now Grandma wants to turn into a veggie, too! And she's asking for recipes!!!
• A couple of posts ago, I commented on becoming a vegan once I started to read Kimberly Snyder's book. Nope, can't do it. I love cheese too much...for now.
• Breakfast quesadillas: In a heavy pan crisp up potatoes, onions, green peppers, garlic, salt/pepper, cayenne. In another pan heat up a tortilla and melt some cheddar and american on top. Add the veggies. To die for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Beats any country fried steak! Wait...did I just really say that???
• So I saw Mar's blog where she did the crow pose. I knew I could do it also, so tried it this morning and Haley took a pic. I feel like I've outted myself in a gay light way too many occassions, so I'll just tell you about it and not post the pic.
• Any of you two know of any Vegetarian magazines worth subscribing to?
• Thinking of investing in a Vitamix...ain't no way in hell am I dropping 500 bones for a freakin blender!
• Final thought: give blood, do a good deed, set goals and beat them, and eating healthy is great but eating healthier still works!
