Moving boxes up and down three flights of stairs, rearranging the whole kitchen, dusting every inch of the basement, setting up storage, setting up the buffet; today had been an at home workout. My mom and I had been cleaning our house all day long, although I still felt full of energy.

One time she cooked meat sauce without telling me; I spilled it onto my pasta, so right before taking my first bite I realized there was meat in it. My older brother, Tommy, is the definition of healthy. He could work out all day long with no problem. Although he may be the healthiest person I know, he 's not a nutritionist by far. Tommy did not believe I was getting enough nutrition in my diet; He thought I would become weak and ill after a few weeks of the diet. He sure was surprised when months of the diet later I was healthier than ever. Tommy was even more surprised when I could easily workout at the gym for two hours without collapsing. He would say stuff like, "You must be eating meat sometimes" or "Soon you 'll be tired and exhausted all the time from this diet" but I have not had meat in a year and I am still full of energy with no meat. The way my family argues with me about eating meat you would think we were arguing over politics or religion. Now I try to avoid any conversation about my vegetarian diet whether it 's new people I meet or family; that way it keeps me out of
