We had tilapia last night, which, not to discount my hubby's cooking, was about the most bland protein I could have. I'm just not a fish person. Never have been, probably never will be, unless I find the right kind cooked the right way. That was not it. I appreciate his effort, but, aside from leftovers tomorrow night, I don't mind not eating that again. I am proud of myself for trying it, though.
Another protein I'm not fond of that I had to try this weekend was plain Greek yogurt. I know I can't just have eggs, chicken, and turkey all the time, so I'm trying to branch out to these other options. Since I can only have ground meat every other day, I figured I would try the new yogurt option. I have sampled it before at Costco and remember not caring for it (I have an issue with regular yogurt's texture sometimes), but I thought I could make myself like it if I had just a little more and it was one of few options. It tastes like thick sour cream to me, but not as sweet. I'm glad we just bought 1 6 oz package to try, instead of the big 30 oz or whatever Costco has. If I do have it again, I'll have to add some Splenda and fruit. That might not trigger my gag reflex as easily...
I weighed in this morning and am thrilled to say that even though we went out to eat Saturday (where I overate a little), and pigged out Wednesday through Friday last week before I got back on plan, I am down 8 pounds since Wednesday! Yippee!! Turns out the water intake is not hindering my weight loss. We are celebrating this success and Cinco de Mayo tonight by cooking chicken fajitas with bell pepper and green onions.
I also found some great recipes on Pinterest that are from another weight loss plan (slimgenics), but many of the recipes incorporate ingredients that I can have. It gives us another resource for finding some variety for our meal planning. I'm excited to try these ground chicken stuffed mushrooms next week!
