weekend's here!

Hey there.
It has been a strange week for me. I have been dizzy a lot all week. I will speak to the nurse practitioner on Monday when I have my weigh-in.
I am sticking to the diet. I haven't had a glass of wine for about 2 1/2 weeks. I miss it but I'd rather be thin!
I haven't written much about what I am eating because I hate to be like a broken record.I am eating the same stuff all the time!
I have the cereal for breakfast, for lunch I usually have a big salad and alternate between the soup and the cappuccino drink. For dinner I make something sensible-a lean meat or fish of some sort and vegetables. At 9ish I have a snack-either one of the cran-granata bars or if I had soup for lunch, I'll have the cappuccino drink.
I feel like I am eating too much meat. I usually eat vegetarian some days and typically make pasta once a week or so. I have to have protein on this diet but can't have beans yet so I just bought a vegetarian ground beef substitute. I will try something with it on the weekend.
I really don't want to eat meat every day. I like the taste of meat-I like pork, chicken, beef is ok but not my fave. I do like roast beef and pot roast but am not a big steak eater. I like fish if it isn't fishy and love shrimp. I won't eat lamb or veal-I can't eat babies!
I would like to try being a vegetarian, or really a pescetarian but the fiance is not having it! Telling an Englishman you want to stop cooking meat is like sacrilege!
I just don't want to eat animals anymore I think.I never gave it much thought before but now it bothers me. I love animals and somehow I recently realized I feel bad about eating them.
I did try a new vegetable...new for me,not actually new anyway! I made roasted kale. It was pretty yummy.
I washed it, dried it, tore it into small pieces(off the stems) and tossed it in a bowl with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a little crushed red pepper. I put it on cookie sheets and into a 375 degree oven. After 5 minutes I turned it over and cooked it for another 8 minutes.I then tossed it with some sea salt and it is crunchy and tasty. Sort of nice to snack on and good for you.
And to my regular reader Melissa-how was your first week on the Ideal Protein Diet? Did you do well? Fill me in!
