Replenished the kitchen and added protein to the shopping list

Today
I followed through on my protein concerns and purchased raw sunflower
seeds and raw pumpkin seeds. They have about 7 grams of protein per oz.
I will also be looking into grains for protein. Someone suggested in
the Comments that I try several types of grains, including sprouted
quinoa. I tried quinoa once and didn't like it, but I can always try
again. Grains are a good idea for additional protein. Someone else
commented that I should use Fitday.com or another resource to find out
my nutritional intake. I use Sparkpeople.com, which has really helped
me to stay on top of my nutrients these past few months. It works using
the same concept as Fitday.
I had
my picture taken for an ID card and I was rather pleased with the
result. I'm still very overweight, but my face looks healthier than in
previous photos. It could be that the lighting was good, for all I
know, but I can see that the shape of my face is less puffy than it was
when I weighed this much previously. I guess we don't necessarily lose
weight the same way every time we lose it.
I went
shopping and stocked up on more fruits and veggies. My girlfriend is
joining me so she got some produce for herself as well. She likes pears
(ick!) and apples (give me a stomach ache) but other than that we will
likely be eating the same stuff. She bought some sprouted beans and
peas from Whole Foods so she can try another Juliano bread recipe. I'm
all for using sprouts when other people sprout 'em! I don't want a
repeat of the nasty, cheesy wheatberry experience from last week.

NOTE:
Thanks to all who have been sending me ideas, leaving messages of
encouragement, etc. A reader, Mimi, left a comment asking if you can
buy nut milk cheeses. I have never seen nut milk itself for sale, but
know that equipment for making it is available. Can anyone help her
out and let us know if you can buy nut "cheese" anywhere?
