Breakfast: pasta, egg, steamed daikon & yucca-root/cassava. Wow. Saw yucca-root at Whole Foods, realized I never had it, so gave it a shot. It's wonderful, esp. left overnight in my $10 rice-cooker that produces a caramelized toasty bit on the bottom (why so long? Well, the wiki page mentions something about paralysis from cyanide poisoning if it's not cooked well and/or soaked, so I figured I'd play it safe).
Lunch: chicken, rice, more yucca root.
Dinner: Halibut, rice, asparagus, daikon & yucca. I definitely need to eat more fish but the selection is pretty limited at the nearest super. So it was very nice to find that the frozen fish I found tastes good. I was really missing fish.
Exercises: now we're starting to get serious... Nice to be able to finish (w/great pain) the 4*25 situps. Went to a climbing gym for the first time yesterday. Wow that was fun--I can't wait to see how much easier it's going to be a few weeks from now.
Canned tuna (no salt, in water not oil) is your friend -- simple, delicious, goes with anything, available anywhere, in great quantity, pre-measured, needs no refrigeration, and easy.
ReplyDeleteAlso don't forget about crab! Kinda pricy, but crab is an awesome protein.
And turkey! Sliced turkey on a wholewheat bagel. Grilled turkey with cucumber and spinach and pumpkin and sweet potato and onion...So. Good.
