Day 5 of my 30 GoVeg Pledge

Today I'm starting day No. 5 of my Go Vegetarian for a minimum of 30 days pledge and I gotta say, it's not even a struggle.

Granted, I've been incorporating meals like this in my diet for several years and I enjoy them, so it's not a challenge for me to stick to this so far and it's really helping me stick to my WW Momentum Simply Filling Plan much better :)

Speaking of WW, this is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast:
A bowl of PC Ancient Grains Cereals topped with wild blueberries, milk and a hint of brown sugar.

Lunch:
A lovely organic corn on the cob (unlike a lot of people, it seems, I prefer to eat my corn on the cob with absolutely nothing on it - i.e. it's not swimming in butter or anything like that. Then you can really taste corn, delicious!).
One of my home made 'Bean Burgers', and a small garden salad with my home made Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar vinaigrette.

Dinner:
A bowl of home made vegetable soup, and for my entrée, Whole Wheat Spaghetti pasta (I love Catelli's Multi-Grain and Whole Wheat Pasta in the brown boxes), topped with fresh mushrooms and onions (that I sautéed in a bit of Olive Oil in a non-stick pan) and to which I added some home made simple tomato sauce. Topped with some fresh grated Parmesan cheese (much tastier than the processed stuff, a little goes a long way).... yummilicious!

Evening snack:
Fresh baby carrots, English cucumber slices, Roasted Garlic Hummus, and a few potato chips.

This is my way to still include (in moderation) a bit of potato chips but without filling up on them like crazy like I used to every night. Filling up on the crunchy baby carrots and cucumber slices dipped in some really flavorful hummus is really satisfying, but I still need that 'potato chip' crunch and flavor from time to time, so having a few as part of my snack is ok. It's a much more healthy way to have them than what I was doing this past year.

Weight Watchers is not a diet, it's focusing on eating healthier, and learning to incorporate the higher calories foods in a much more moderated/natural way.

There's absolutely nothing moderated or natural about eating half a large bag of potato chips every single night... and there's no nutrition in that either. But doing a pretty plate like I did last night, it not only looked and tasted really good, but having it this way, I didn't feel deprived or like I was on a diet, and then I would want to binge on a whole bag of chips at the next turn.
