I've been pretty good about sticking to the Weekday Vegetarian plan ever since issuing the official decree in our house back in October. What's been surprising is that the girls have been great too, even though I have all sorts of plans in place (including a bag of drumsticks frozen individually in their marinade) to supplement their meals when I know they just can't face another tofu- or bean-centric dinner. I'm convinced having a no-brainer fall-back plan is what has made this undertaking sustainable. It reminds me of the way I became a regular runner -- it didn't happen because I forced myself to run every day. That would have lasted precisely one week. Instead I deliberately set the bar low -- every other day -- so I could only be the hero in my own story. That was 25 years ago and here I am, still racking up the miles on Strava. Slowly, but still.
