Red, white and blueberries.
Day 48 done and dusted. Head was in a fog this morning as I woke up. Not enough sleep again, I guess. Managed to get out of work by 6pm today though so I came home and did the jump-rope and the workouts fairly early after a 20-minute power nap. Couldn't jump well today, but I think that has to do with my yoga-mat, as I was jumping inside. It is too springy so the rope bounces off it too hard, causing me to trip more. I have a new toughest exercise to deal with though, and that is 60 second planks after V-sits. Amazing how just the extra 10 seconds puts such a strain on the back and arms, as well as the abs. Tough work.
Fixed up some fruit and also some water-sauteed scallops and veggies: all organic broccoli flower, celery, tomato, daikon and asparagus with the trusty salt substitute spice mix.
It was another crisp, cold morning today. These are probably the last few days of the clear Mt. Fuji views before the warmer air makes it hazier once spring rolls around. So will post a few pics below.



Guess I need to try some organic produce....if there is that much difference in the taste then the price is justifiable I guess!
ReplyDeleteHi Molly,
ReplyDeleteYes, organic produce is pricy, but it will add maybe ten, twenty dollars to your weekly grocery bill. That is like two or three cocktails. As you pointed out before, less going out during PCP means more money for groceries. So I recommend trying a few organic items and seeing what you like. I find the natural flavors come through stronger on the organic stuff. Let us know what you try and what you think if you do give it a shot.
George your salt substitute is pretty good: I use it a lot. Good fruit mix you have there. I need to do more vege mixes like you - they look good. Totally agree - the extra 10 seconds on the plank were an entire new challenge. Keep it up mate.
ReplyDeleteGood food choices.
ReplyDeletescallops look delish! yeh hear ya on organic produce tasting better ESP chicken, eggs, milk. i only buy organic eggs, they might taste almost as good as Molly's chicken eggs from her garden?!?!
ReplyDeleteHi George. Great blog and thanks for the inspiration from day 48. Being only on day 4 I have a looog way to go. By the way I am salivating looking at this food! I thought it was all egg whites and yoghurt. Something to look forward to I hope!
ReplyDeleteHi George, Thanks for your comment, it's encouraging to hear from people who are ahead! Love your posts, I just kept reading on the way back from a meeting. It's great seeing foodies like you and how you find ways to keep the food interesting and exciting, instead of a punishment. I'm going to forward my husband (a foodie, and an ex chef and F&B guy) the link to your blog. Going to make the salt substitute this weekend! Keep those posts coming- looking forward to them!
