Protein Safari

So I am hitting it hard today. Trying to move past my fears and try some new stuff. I am in soup purgatory and I must break out. I love my soup but it has become my crutch and it is not protein rich. I have to get more protein in.
Thank god for my eggface and her recipes. This woman should be sainted. If you are trying to lose a few and or stick to a lower carb lower sugar diet- check her website out- she has amazing ideas for everyone- not just post ops.
The post op diet is really just a South Beach diet when it comes right down to it.

So far today I made a yummy Fage yogurt peanutbutter dip and had it with a few slices apples and bananas. It was really good but so filling I didnt get in as much protein as I would have liked. I will try and finish the dip later today with some of my caramel mini rice cakes. Just made a batch of lemon meringue pie protein icecream so I have a few servings in the freezer for the weekend. Now the big challenge- to try some kind of meat main dish later today. I am terrified. I might do tuna over a salad or some turkey meatballs. If I chicken out I have some morningstar farms meatless chicken strips I could try. Right now I am feeling nervous because the apples are coming back to haunt me. I had about a quarter of a small apple and now i dont feel so good. RATS

Anyway where is this Hanna they promised? The sun is shining and I promised Nick we could do all his favorite rainy day activiies that he bugs me to do when its sunny and I dont want to be inside. The minute he got up he said ok mom today we get to go to Imajination, Chuck E Cheeses, Rainforest Cafe and Jordans! Now what I am supposed to say?!!!! When I come back for my second life I want to be a weather man because it's the only job I know of where you get paid to be wrong pretty much every day!

Ok we're off to the damn mall- maybe I can sneak off to Lands End where I am scoping out some cute fall stuff. Gotta get me this adorable orange and chocolate brown tote bag I have been eyeing. Hey I deserve it- I have to work tonite from 12:30-7:30am- I am getting paid double time so I said I would do it for special storm coverage. Hopefully there wont be a storm so I will just try and stay awake. Wish me luck.
