Mmm...sodium

I had plans to eat out at a Japanese steak house tonight with some friends from school, so I wanted to keep my other meals small and light today. I also wanted to get my dairy in early, so I had a big cup of milk and a Clif Z Blueberry bar for breakfast:




I was really looking forward to trying this bar. The honey graham is still my favorite, but blueberry solidly earns the #2 spot. Or, in the spirit of the Olympics, you could say it gets a silver.

Around midday, I felt horrible. I was extremely nauseous and almost canceled my plans, then suddenly I was starving. I needed something immediately, so I microwaved a Lean Cuisine five cheese lasagna. It's not that great in terms of sodium, but it was hot and cheesy. I'm going to say I felt bad because I didn't sleep enough last night and didn't drink enough water yesterday so it caught up with me today. Hopefully I'm not getting a bug!

Dinner tonight was a lot of fun. I was disappointed, though, because the sushi bar was closed for the week for remodeling. I was looking forward to a Tiger roll! Instead I ordered chicken and shrimp, which came with mushroom soup, salad, and rice. There was a ton of food and I brought around half the chicken and most of the rice home. I didn't eat my salad (I know, BAD), but it was just a bowl of iceberg lettuce and that is my least favorite. I did eat all of my zucchini, onions, broccoli, and mushrooms.

Sorry there is no picture, I was too busy talking and completely forgot! I'm sure you'll get the idea since it was standard hibachi fare.

I should probably start chugging some water to flush out all that soy sauce.

Tomorrow I am making a batch of crockpot barbecue. My parents are coming to visit this weekend, and I have to prove to my father that it is actually good. He is an avid griller and smoker, so he is pretty serious about his barbecue. Unfortunately I don't have that option since I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex, and I'm sure the management would frown upon flames and excessive smoke. I might make some new friends if I tried it, though! I love the smell of a hot grill.

See you tomorrow!
