Vegetarian for A Week

So I've been issued a challenge from a friend to be vegetarian for a week. She is a vegan, and I thought hey if she can do it, why can't I? So i'm going to abstain from meat until November 20, 2009. I wonder what effect this great endeavor will have on my life. We will just have to wait and see. This morning's breakfast consisted of cereal, soymilk, a custard bun, oh and lunch was a veggie patty from subway, which is not all that bad. I think that I can really do this. The biggest challenge will be the thanksgiving dinner that my dorm is putting on later this week, with delicious turkey, but its OK! I can forgo it this week and enjoy it next week. So far I've started noticing the ingredients in my foods. I can't imagine being vegan because cheese and milk and eggs are so yummy. I just realized that I will be giving up fish as well. No Omega 3s for me :(
Well at least it's only for a week. I never thought about how hard it is for vegetarians to get vegetarian food. Additionally, since I'm on the Dining Services committee for my school this will be an excellent way to see the world from a vegetarian's point of view. I wonder what spectacular benefits this will have on my health as well. I'm pretty excited! but I am kind of hungry still right now :( eeeeehh. Well I will reflect on this experience later. Anyone wanna try this challenge too?
