Trashy Shoppin' & Big Gay Dessert

When out with the kids, did a small food shop: diet sprite, big bag of tortilla chips, jug of beer. One would not think the consumer of these things was on a big ol' life-altering change of eating style that would hopefully transform his life in a huge way. OK, also got a pound of string beans....

Got a work out in this morning, amazes me that my muscles feel bigger all over now -- just need to lose some weight so someone other than myself can see! Still no successful pull ups, thinking of adding a few one-legged assisted pull ups to the negative pull ups to help get a little more sore. M & W were work outs, F will be a bike ride.

THE COUNT: 2,425

TODAY'S COOKING
Cherry Sorbet: Didn't whip up in the ice cream maker, so I put the maker into a colder freezer, and set a cube of the stuff to freeze, too. Take another crack at it tomorrow.


Tomato Sauce: Onion, olive oil, carrot, thyme, oregano and garlic cooked to a good base, deglazed with a cup of white wine, added 4 cans of milled tomato and let a stringed bunch of basil and a cheese-clothe bag full of hard-cheese rinds simmer for a few hours. Calculations came to 1,200 cal for the whole batch, so when I way it, I suspect this will be pretty light stuff.


Fresh Salsa: Basic stuff: chopped roma tomatos, minced onion, minced garlic, small can of V8, 2 tbsp of olive oil, splash of red wine vinegar, minced bunch of cilantro, salt. Caluculations got .4 cal/g, which means a large 100g bowl of the stuff will be only 40 cal. Need to get some baked chips and get on that!

BREAKFAST: 9:30am, brown rice cereal with whole organic milk, banana, 430 cal

Meeting up with Y to eat. Old friend, haven't seen her in forever, and our thing when we get together is we EAT. We love to eat together. This was actually a reasonable meal together, at a Vietnamese sandwich shop then the Big Gay Ice Cream shop for dessert. Calories are a guestamation, based on similar foods listed on dark corners of the internet. Judging from my saiety, I think I'm close to my daily budget...


EVENING SNACK: 9:15pm, 12 oz diet sprite, 0 cal
