Buh-Bye Beef

So it's the end of one month, and the beginning of another...

Happy April Fool's Day everybody! I don't have any pranks or jokes to play just yet, but I may come up with something before the day is done, I've got a few hours left to make all that happen.

I've decided to continue my experiment in removing various things from my life, and I'm going to give up beef for April. I had some burgers tonight to enjoy before I pushed it all away for the next 30 days. This doesn't mean all cow related products (milk, cheese, etc...) just the meat that I have come to love so much. Part of me wants to do this for some of the healthy benefits that might come from eating a leaner kind of protein. The most significant reason, though, is to challenge myself to cook outside of beef, something I feel that I may rely on as a crutch when prepping food. I see much more chicken and fish in my future for the next month. I'm kind of excited, really, with new opportunities opening up with this.

I've found that it is things like this that challenge us to expand our boundaries, to see things in a slightly different way, and to learn to live our lives differently.

I've still got just over one week for my beer removal, and I'm feeling pretty good about all of that. The beef removal may even be tougher than removing beer from my diet, but we'll see. I plan to keep going on this blog with some regularity after I finish this 40 day trial, so keep checking in on that in the future.

For now, though, I'm going to go get some sleep, and worry about everything else tomorrow...

More later...
