๐Ÿš™ DAY OUT WITH TRACY | ๐Ÿฃ OCEAN SAMURAI MEAL

I had the chance to spend the day with my cousin and we went over to Virginia. We had lunch at Ocean Samurai in Blacksburg, VA. I ordered 2 pretty plain rolls to avoid as much food reaction as possible and 2 appetizers and split them over the whole day.

Wayyyy over on carbs, but it was a lovely chance to spend time with her and I only ate once the day before (had over 1000 calories left over), so I wasn’t worried.

Very short note today… I spent the day out in town with my favorite cousin running errands and catching up.

We had Sushi from my favorite restaurant – Shoguns.

I had…
Pink Lady Roll
Purple Rain Roll (it used to come with purple rice)
1 of her Tempura Shrimp
Bowl of Clear Soup
Ginger/Soy Sauce

It was delicious and we ate kinda late so that was all I wanted. I precalculated everything and knew exactly what I wanted and worked it into my day…

I stopped at Kroger on the way home and got a few things and am here at home now for the foreseeable future… ๐Ÿ˜Š

I did a little weigh in catch up video while driving out to meet her… I don’t film in the car so it’s a bit of a mess but if you want it…

๐Ÿฑ DINNER ๐Ÿฑ

A lovely summer storm popped up this afternoon and triggered a ๐Ÿก *poof* ๐Ÿก – headache, muscle spasms, congestion, my eyes swelling, ears get blocked up, numbness in my hands and feet, abdominal swelling, general blahhhh – weather/barometric changes are fun like that… So I didn’t finish lunch and definitely didn’t want dinner. I just took some meds and came to lie down…

๐ŸŽ CORE WEEKLY POINTS REDEEMED – 0
Since I didn’t use anywhere near the 30 points we write off each day, I am not going to redeem any weeklies for the 4pts over I would have used. This is just a personal tracking decision for today…

———————

๐Ÿฅฆ Almost all of my vegetables are either steamed in my @goodcooks Microwave Steamer or water sautรฉed and then seasoned afterwards. This keeps them fresher looking and since I am not a fan of soggy vegetables I can control the level of crunch which I appreciate. Plus of course it is less points than cooking in oil or butter. If I want those for flavor, I add it at the end.

3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much ๐Ÿ˜ Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.

This month she has a friend staying for a month so I’m cooking for them both. Today she requested I do the Butter Chicken dish I did a few weeks ago.
