Day 14: Protein is protein.

Today was a day of easing back into my diet.  

This morning I did my usual...

BREAKFAST - 340 Calories

Should I come up with some kind of nickname for this meal?  Maybe... the McStar?  That's hot.

LUNCH - 374 Calories (or less...)

I went to Von's to pick up veggies and fruit for my fridge and decided to pick up the Arugula and Goat Cheese salad that I loved so much earlier this month.  I love it so much I picked up all 3 that were there.  I went home and quickly put everything away, cut up half an avocado and put everything together in a bowl.  When I was on the last few bites, I saw something...staring back at me...

Blegh!! I spit out the mouthful I had just bitten and kept repeating to myself.. 'It's just protein Caresse...just some extra protein.  Lots of people eat it around the world..you would eat it for survival..do NOT throw up..NO..do NOT do it.  CALM DOWN." Annnnnd that was the end of my lunch...It saved me a few calories, so... that is the bright side.

DINNER - 332 Calories

Thanks to my dear friend, Brenda, I received a Spiral Slicer from Amazon that helps you shave zucchini into noodles!  So for dinner I decided to try making Thai Ka Prao on a bed of Zucchini Noodles and it came out REALLY tasty!  I just followed the recipe from TasteNirvana.com (with Turkey instead of chicken) and then put in the sauteed zucchini noodles in the end.  If you want a step by step recipe, let me know in the comments.

I had a few calories left in my budget and I had a sweet tooth so I went to Starbucks and ordered a Mini Smore's Frappuccino.  It is 230 calories so I didn't feel badly about it.  Until I remembered the Harry & David Truffles that I ate at work earlier in the day because the bug in my salad left me a little hungry... fail.  So I went over 117 calories today but.. I will be better tomorrow...maybe.

I feel you cat.  I feel you.
