my wife has been a vegetarian forever. Eats fish though, so not total veg. I'm used to it but I eat meat. It's possible to do what you are talking about but it's (a) a drag and (b) difficult to avoid substituting protein sources with soy or fake meat products. The jury is out on whether or not that is 'bad' for you as far as GMO related concerns etc.

Why not just exercise more and eat what you want? The benefits of regular exercise on your cardiovascular health and mental well being vs. being a slug on a plant based diet seem to be a no brainer to me. I'm married as well and work all the time but I find time to run/walk/hike 15 miles a week at least and hit the gym when I can.
