How's Your Pesky Thing Going, Anyway?

Over the past few months or so, I've been asked the following questions many times:

"How's your fish thing going?"

"You're still Presbyterian, right?"

Say it with me-

Pes-kah-TEAR-eeyan.

I actually don't mind being questioned about it. I think it's kind of cool that people find the quirky things I do interesting. I thought I would check in and let you know how it is going.

It's going GREAT!

No seriously, it is. Not only have I not cheated (although there were some close calls when I wasn't paying attention) but I have noticed an improvement in my health. I drink more water, I exercise more regularly, and I have more energy at the beginning and end of my day. A friend of mine also pointed out that my skin seemed clearer and smoother. So...I don't plan on going back to poultry or beef any time soon.

Do I ever miss it?

Hecks yeah. But usually only when I'm really hungry. Once I cook up my fish or shrimp, I'm not thinking about anybody's burger and fries.

And that's another thing. Because I am now the only person in my household who follows this eating habit, I am forced to cook almost everyday. I have discovered that I actually like cooking, and I'm good at it. Who knew? I get to experiment with new recipes all the time. And if I'm feeling lazy and don't want to cook, I can pop in some oh-so-not-nutritous Oodles of Noodles or some soup. Sometimes, I'll go for an old-fashioned PB&J or some hard-boiled eggs with toast.

Not only that, but two of my friends have mentioned that they want to try this thing out! I almost did a backflip. It's so empowering to see people taking charge of their health and embarking on a new journey. Makes me want to go even harder.

So if you ask me how my pesky thing is going, I'll tell you.

Pretty darn good. =)

Be Blessed!
