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 2

Went to work early this morning to make up for the 2 hours I took off on 16-Jun-2016 to drop Kitty off at the airport.

So tired at work, but it wasn't too busy so that was good.

I had more pizza for lunch.  I think there may be 1 more serving of pizza, which I will eat for lunch tomorrow.  I love pizza, but its giving me a lot of heartburn, so I am happy to finish it.

After work, I did about 45 minutes of archery.  I think I am getting better at this, but still not great.  It was fun as usual though.

Then I spent the remainder of the Costco giftcard and bought the following items:

Wow $206.15

Tissue paper is very important.
There was $5 off the cottonelle, so I bought it. Seemed like an okay deal.

Smoothies Supply

I planned to get in on that smoothie game.  Probably resume going to the gym on 18-Jun-2016.  I still need to buy some milk.  The milk at costco was super cheap though.  It was $3.49 or so for 2 gallons.  That is like the regular cost for a quart at Berkeley bowl.  However, both gallons expire July 3rd.  There is no way I can drink that much.  Well with the smoothies I might, but I won't know until I start.  I will go to Berkeley bowl tomorrow for milk and maybe more tofu or other protein substitutes.  I was thinking about going to Safeway, but there is the glass bottle from the chocolate milk I wanted to return.

Miscellaneous Lunch and Dinner Stuff

I planned on eating a lot of eggs and avocado with salads.

I hope this $200 will last me at least 2 weeks!

Return of yesterday's stir fry

For dinner, I just reheated some of yesterday's stir fry and ate the not dry parts of the left over rice.

That's it for tonight.  I want to curl up in bed and play some Fire Emblem.  Yay!
