~(._.)~ Day-7 Phase-1 :: Wednesday

136 lbs   Today, I’ve decided I like cooking with/ eating ginger-spiced foods.

1. Long Life Cocktail (2 caps psyllium husks)

2. 1/3 serving  of warm water with half tbsp lemon

3.  Ate lunch outside at a Kogi Truck: Ordered a “Yum Yum Lamb Pita Sandwich” Ate the lettuce, tomato, onions and lamb inside.

4. Full glass of warm water and half tbsp lemon

5. 2 cran waters + bowl of Pinky’s Garden Chicken Soup

6. cran water + 2 glasses of water + 2 evening primrose caps, vitamin c, e, prenatal

7. cran water +  shrimp stir fry

8. water + artichoke + spinach salad

9. 1/2 cup prunes + water

10. cran water + water

11. cran water, shrimp stirfry, artichoke spinach salad + water

12. Elliptical 3miles in 42 minutes + Leg machine 4 sets of 12 reps 20lbs.

13. 1 cup prunes + water (I’m thinking I might need to lay off the prunes… the serving size is 1/4 cup and each serving is 110 calories with 13 g sugar. hmm. )

14.  cran water + 2 psyllium husk caps + 2 glasses water

I got up late and was rushing to get the kids dressed and ready to go out for lunch. Josiah was picking us up on his lunch break to drive us a block from our house to where the kogi trucks park. Every Wednesday, there are 10 restaurants on wheels that serve gourmet fast food. It’s a primarily-commercial area near the college, so most of the regulars are the people who work in the neighboring offices, their friends,their families; and of course the college kids and foodies who check it out too.

“Yum Yum Lamb Sandwich” with gyro sauce, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, red onions and ground lamb. Greasy. (uh oh!)

It was okay. I ate everything but the pita.

 

I met Josiah’s boss and a few of his coworkers. His boss seemed pretty nice and conversational. I was responding to conversation made towards me but not really making an effort to make any, so there was a few silent moments here and there while I waited with the group with River while Josiah and Shane was in line for food. I would’ve preferred to stay in line for the food. Solitude can be real sweet sometimes. The weather is perfect outside with a moderate to windy breeze that is neither hot nor cold. It was a nice day today.

 

 

I’ll try to dedicate myself to making the stir fry tonight. Meat choice will be shrimp. Will update late tonight.

Workstation, Being Cooked, and Finished Product.

I went by the recipe minus the bamboo shoots. Added generous amounts of parsley, ginger and unsalted chicken broth. Turned out good.
