Well I had a setback but overall I think the weekend was a success in the "try new things department." I went a little crazy at Whole Foods yesterday and tried too many things and it backfired. I think it may have been the sweet and sour tofu I sampled...things went seriously down hill after that. I love that place...I can make the rounds and have a few samples and I am stuffed! I save a fortune! haha!
Anyway I had a few bites of grilled salmon and this amazing olive tapenade with goat feta sprinkled on top. I was fine until I had a bite of that tofu. I knew it was going to be bad. I dont think its a good thing but I have figured out how to deal with this as it has become second nature. So I just force myself to get sick and get it over with rather than endure the torturous pain and agony of the 3 hour drama to get rid of it. I felt totally fine right after. So after that the day was a bit of a bust since I stuck to water. I was afraid to get sick before going into work to do my overnight shift. But today was great and I had some great proteins.
Here's what I tried this weekend:
-Fage peanutbutter dip- yummy yesterday- today it made me gag- tossed it.
-Olive tapenade with goat feta on a thin cracker- to die for- bought all 3 products at Whole Foods- being the sample sucker that I am.
-Salmon- too fishy for me- but at least I tried it- didnt think I liked it- now I know.
-Sweet and sour tofu- disgusting and pretty sure it made me hurl
-Frappacino protein shake- tried to take a sip but the smell made me queasy- couldnt do it. Still cant handle the shakes- totally surprises me.
-DRUMROLL PLEASE- Whole foods chicken salad on couple crackers. SO GOOD and NO PROBLEMS. I still cant believe it. I have been terrified to try chicken after hearing so many horror stories.
-Cheese and brushetta tortilla pizza- had 2 slices out of 8- so good! Lew loved it. This is our new pizza fix- no more take out and big greasy pizza with thick crust.
-Healthy Ones Kielbasa with roasted red peppers and garlic- great recipe from one of the girls at the support group- it was delicious and so high in protein. Lew loved it too.
So I think I made some serious progress and I am very happy I tried some new things.
Also I forced myself to drink plain water today and it was ok. I am so sick of propel and crystal lite and all that splenda and the calories are adding up. The plain water doesnt go down as well or as fast but I am going to keep trying. I have been on propel and crystal lite for 4 months- its breaking the bank!
Ok gotta get some shut eye- I never really slept before going in last night and then just took an hour nap this morning. I have a feeling I am going to be hurting tomorrow. Nick fell asleep on the couch at 6:30pm so its gonna be an early morning.
Must have been all the excitement from the new Chuck E Cheeses this morning and the Big Truck Day at the common this afternoon:)
