Date Night

Thanks for the support on my decision to no longer be vegan but incorporate eggs and seafood into my diet! I appreciate it:)

So, yesterday was Friday and same as Thursday I was having trouble with calories. I started my day off with an Americano and an apple but it took me a couple hours to finish the apple because of my low appetite.

ugh, I wasn’t feeling it AT ALL. So for lunch I brought hummus with hot sauce and carrots to dip. It may seem like a weird combo but it can’t be beat. I love it! I may have gone a little out of control with the amount of hot sauce I used. haha

Mmmmm, so tasty. I only had two carrots though before I couldn’t eat anymore. Oh well. Shane then asked me if I wanted to go out to eat and I though, perhaps this is what I need. So I said YES! We decided to go to Buca Di Beppo. A great family style Italian restaurant on the Plaza. Starting off with some bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

I ordered a virgin pina colada because for some reason the coconut pineapple craving was with me. I felt like I was ten years old! haha

It was really refreshing though because they used fresh coconut milk and pineapple juice. Not overly sweet and had alot of coconutie floaties. hehe. We shared a large salad and nearly thought we’d have to fight for those yellow peppers until we realized there were two! We are crazy for those  things!

It was delicious. Then I decided to give my new seafood roll a test and got calamari…….I couldn’t eat much at all. I haven’t eaten meat in a while and it seemed really weird.

There were lots of leftovers but I filled up on the salad. It’s a work in progress! Shane got a spicy arrabata pizza!

I pride myself on this photo….I make that pizza look good! I didn’t have any but Shane approved of the flavor! Afterwards we went and got some coffee since it was early and we were so full that we got tired!

I don’t know how Shane handled that cold drink! I got an 8oz Americano that I couldn’t finish. Shane is testing a new phone (MyTouch) for his work and he was getting the camera going here. It was actually pretty good!

Anyway, so far my test of seafood didn’t  go super well. I got queasy thinking about it later. I may have to stick with tilapia from now on or something. Not little squidies!
