*sigh*… suppose it’s time for accountability, so here it goes:

7/30- breakfast- bowl of cereal with soy milk, raisins, nuts, coffee.  “snack”- coffee with cream, slice of cake. lunch- rice with 2pc. shrimp, nettle leaf, eggplant and pumpkin tenpura, miso soup, sukemono, 2 slices of eggplant. dinner- about 1/2 cup stir fried veggies, 3 pc. fried shrimp, about a fifth an egg, 4 pc. gyoza (pot stickers?), 3 pieces of beef with bean sprouts, 2 yakitori sticks, 1/2 tomato tonic, latte and about 3/4 of a chocolate chip cookie. eww!! i did a lot of damage in tokyo!! and i think all in all i got about a half hour of walking in

7/31  breakfast- piece of toast, 2 mini muffins, salad with tons of tomatoes, 1/3 of a hashbrown, 1/2 a banana, 2 cubes of watermellon, 2 eggs, 1 sausage link, a glass of grapefruit juice, and 2 cups of coffee (yay for buffets, right?!) . then a latte… and then lunch. about 9 pieces of sushi, cup of egg soup, and green tea. snack- small ice cream from cold stone. dinner- 100 gram steak (i think) 4 pieces of some other meat, salad, veggies, garlic rice, miso soup, annondofu, coffee with cream and then a small mango frappachino from starbucks. BUT- all in all i’d say that day wasn’t too bad. i got in a half hour of strength training and AT LEAST five hours of solid walking. my friend said seven, but i think it might have been more like 6

8/1  breakfast- mini muffin, toast with butter, 2 eggs, 1/3 hashbrown, 2 sausage links, 1 glass o.j., salad, 1/2 banana, 2 slices of apple, 3 cups of coffee, and broccoli. lunch- rice, tofu with some kind of sauce, sashimi piece with shiso and daikon, 2 chunks of chicken, more tofu, and miso with tofu (we went to a tofu restraunt- suprisingly good!) dinner- rice, eel with sauce, salad, 2 pc. grapefruit, miso soup. then a small choc. truffle from starbucks and a slice of cake. and i think all in all i got in maybe ab hour of walking. not good!!

8/2-  breakfast- bowl of cereal with nuts, raisins and soy milk, 2 cups of coffee. snack- three cookies and a peach.  lunch- japanese pork curry rice, coffee with cream. dinner- nikuman and chocolate covered macidamia nuts (aghh!!! i’m an idiot!! i think that was about 450 calories just with that) and prettymuch no workout.

8/3 breakfast- uhh… that was this morning and i can’t remember?! oh- right. nikuman and coffee, half a pear. lunch- about 2 cups of pineapple fried rice. “snack”- more macadamia nuts (i think i muct be mildly insane? severly brain damaged? not sure what the problem was today!!), coffee,  a carrot, the other half of the pear, five pieces of hard candy, yogurt. dinner- another cup and a half of pineapple fried rice. i did get in about a 30 min jog, 10 min walk and maybe another 10 min of ab exercises, but i need to do a lot more!

sorry this was a rather mind numbingly boring blog- i’ll try and write about tokyo (other than the food) tomorrow!
