Ducky Solo 2016 - Day 7

Today will be a short post.

Went to work and the pace was not bad.  I got some of my audio recordings of my phone calls critiqued and I think I got relatively minor issues to work on.

I accidentally left my phone on "Not Ready", aka short break mode, for an hour and a half.  I hope management doesn't pay too much attention to that.

Lunch I didn't take a picture of, but it was just rice with some of the broccoli and seitan mix I had. 

The office pretty much cleaned all the leftovers from last night.  I did see a little left over when I was on my way home so I just took it.

I also got a haircut today.  I think it looks pretty good.



Dinner. LOBTER LEFTOVERS.

I ate all the lobster I saved from yesterday with the leftovers from work.

SMOOTHIE

Gotta keep up with my nutrient smoothies.  Today I did a peach, half a banana, 3/4 cup yogurt, milk, and protein powder.  I did not taste any peach.  I mostly tasted the banana.  

Going to play Fire Emblem after surfing the web a bit. YAY.

Ducky Solo 2016 - Day 5

Another long day at work to make up for the day I dropped Kitty at the airport.

Besides that it wasn't too bad.  I had time during the day to make some dental appointments so that was good.

I got home around 5 PM or so and proceeded to water the plants and surf the web a bit.

Dinner Leftovers

Peaches

For dinner I had more of my broccoli, tofu, and seitan stir fry.  It tasted alright.  
I had some peaches for post dinner dessert.


Finished product
Smoothies



 I made more smoothies to keep up with my protein intake even when I didn't go gym.  Today I made a mix of spinach, half a banana, berries, yogurt, spinach, and milk.  Tasted alright.  I think the banana really helps blend the protein powder in well.

Going to clean my desk a bit and then get to bed by 11PM and play Fire Emblem.

I am nervous for tomorrow night's business dinner thing.  Social anxiety to the max.  Sigh what did I get myself into.

Ducky Solo 2016 - Day 4

Woke up late this morning at around 10:00 AM.  

I ate some abalone cookies and drank some water for breakfast.  I didn't get out of the house until around 10:55 AM.  I went to the gym again to try to keep up with my gym habit for this month at least.

Got home around 12:39 PM or so.  Time to make lunch.

Lunch noodles
Finished product


Lunch consisted of a noodle soup of tomato instant soup, peas, 1 possibly expired egg, about 8 wontons, and 1 deep fried tofu pocket.  It tasted very tomatoey.  

More Smoothies
Final product

Continuing with my smoothies.  I forgot to add yogurt today.  I knew something was missing when I was drinking it it.  I did 1 cup frozen berries, half a banana, 1 scoop of protein, 1 cup of milk, and 1 handful of spinach.  Tasted pretty good with the banana today.


I got to play some Fire Emblem today so that was good.  During lunch I watched half of Captain America #1.

Drying tofu for dinner

For dinner I tried to make the following:

However, I made some terrible mistakes.  Firstly, I bought sliced seitan which was meant to be like a ham substitute, not cubed, which was what I wanted.

HAIL SEITAN

Fried tofu with potato starch

Frying ginger and garlic


Fried SEITAN

Looks OKay

Final Product for Dinner

Next, I picked up oyster sauce instead of hoisin sauce.  I was so close to having this 100% vegetarian.  It tasted ok, but I would not use any starch for the frying parts in the future.  The starch was crispy after frying, but gets very slimy after mixing with sauce.  It tastes acceptable to me, but maybe not to Kitty.

Seitan tastes like a very firm tofu.  Very springy and has a firm texture almost like poutine.

Lunch for tomorrow.

My lunch for tomorrow consists of the rest of the tofu cucumber stir fry, an egg, half an avocado, and rice.

Tomorrow is my rest day in terms of gymming.  

I have to sleep some what earlier tonight because I have to wake up at 5:25 AM tomorrow for work.  

Probably read some Nisekoi manga before I sleep.

Ducky Solo 2016 - Day 3

Worked out at the gym first time in a long time.  I felt super sore and I think I almost pulled a muscle.

Realized how far the gym was and why I stopped going haha.

Then went to the local grocery store to buy stuff for dinner.
Much less than Costco

Dinner supplies with SEITAN

Finally done with pizza

Last slice of pizza

Smoothies Time

Berry Smoothies

Made a berry smoothie with a handful of spinach, a cup of frozen berries, a scoop of protein, half a cup of yogurt, and a cup and half of milk.  Smoothie tasted okay, but the vanilla protein was kind of overpowering.  It was otherwise pretty good.

Boy milk is sure expensive at regular stores.  The cost of this 1 gallon could have bought 2 gallons at Costco and then some.  

Leftovers

Dinner just ate some leftovers since I was too lazy to cook anything tonight.

Going to finally play some Fire Emblem.  I fell asleep yesterday.
