A Drink In A New Cup (And A Snack)

We got these fancy acrylic insulated cups that look like cheap plastic cups.  I got a little Fresca to try it out.  I'd love to save on making trash, but Fresca and Diet Coke are the only fountain drinks that I can get.

Got a little hungry, so I grabbed a tiny bowl of almonds and honey-roasted peanuts.

Lunch At The New Cafe!

Yum! I grabbed a vegan spring roll from the vegan section, followed by a black bean burger patty with provolone cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, and sriracha mayonnaise.  I also took a few fries.


When I was done I wanted a little something sweet, so I got a tiny piece of coconut cream pie and a chocolate white chocolate chip cookie.

I Couldn't Hold Out

I couldn't hold out until lunch so I'm having a bowl of raisin bran crunch. I'd take a picture of it, but my phone also decided to die.

Update: phone back to life!



Breakfast At The New Campus

Morning weigh-in 233.2. Huzzah!

Today was the first day of business at our new campus! I'm really enjoying the fast network speed, but I'll also be enjoying posting about all the yummy things I get to eat here at our new cafe! This morning I went light.  First, a teeny cup of apple carrot ginger juice.


And a banana.


I might get hungry before lunch, but I'm going to try to hold out.

Healthy Dessert

Courtesy of Kendra! Delicious fresh peaches, grapes, pineapple, and some cottage cheese!

First Booze Post!

This is the only way I'm going to get anything done on my thesis. Can't I just have my degree already? Bailey's and Di Saronno on the rocks.

Quick And Easy Dinner

I was so hungry when we were out at the store that I quickly made some salad as soon as we got home. They totally skimped us on the dried cherries this time - there were only 6!


Kendra and I each had a bowl.


Yum, salad! With a few calories in me, I was able to muster the strength to throw together some fettuccine with roasted red pepper alfredo sauce. Simple, but filling. I held myself to just one serving.


But I did have a Diet Dr. Pepper to go with it.

More Cereal

Morning weigh-in was 234.8. Nothing special.

Breakfast was an illustrious bowl of raisin bran, followed by an only slightly less illustrious bowl of corn flakes. Both were with soymilk.

Why Am I Still Hungry?

A slice of bread with peanut butter.



Mushroom Fajitas!

We had a bunch of mushrooms in our fridge that were supposed to go into some other recipes that wound up not happening, so we decided to make some mushroom fajitas! First step, chop mushrooms, onions, and an orange bell pepper.


Then, mix some fajita seasoning with a little bit of water.


Start frying on the griddle with a little bit of oil.


Add the seasoning/water.


Cook thoroughly.


Get some fixin's ready.


Eat!


Eat more!


Eat a little bit more.


Still wind up a little hungry later and have a bowl of raisin bran with soymilk.

Pancakes And... Bubble Tea?

Yes, I found these leftover pancakes in the fridge from when Kendra made them.  I reheated them and drizzled some honey on them, and that was my lunch.


Since it was such a small lunch, I decided to have some honeydew bubble tea too.



Costco Samples

Key lime pie! Very rich - I don't think we could ever eat a whole one!


And to finish off the healthy snack, some chocolate gelato.



Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Morning weigh-in was 234.4, 234.8, or 235.8, depending on which reading you trust.  Personally, I'm inclined to go for the first one.

Breakfast this morning was just a bowl of corn flakes with soymilk.

Indian Food On The Company Dime

After "District 9", we set off for Mehfil Fine Indian Dining in Redmond Town Center for an early supper.  I started with a mango lassi, which was good, although it could have been a little colder.


Next, I put a few items on my plate: a paneer and peanut/coconut sauce dish, some chana masala, aloo gobi, and paneer sagwala.  There was also some paneer stuffed naan, which was just OK.  The paneer and peanut/coconut sauce dish was excellent, though.


We got some complimentary gulab jamun, which I am not the biggest fan of.  It's basically a soggy donut hole.  I ate it anyway.

Conveyor Belt Sushi!

After mini-golf, we grabbed a quick conveyor belt sushi lunch before seeing "District 9". We got it from Sushi Land in Redmond.
Not the best, but certainly cheap!

Snacks At Mini-Golf

At an offsite for work today. Morning weigh-in was 234!

I forgot breakfast so at the course I got a diet soda and ate a little candy: some apple and watermelon rings.










A Bland Dinner

Kendra's stomach was bothering her, so a very simple dinner it was. First, I sautéed some onions and mushrooms.


Then, added vegetable stock and some soy sauce. After cooking it for a while, I mixed in some flour to thicken.


What goes with mushroom gravy? Mashed potatoes! First, I boiled the heck out of them.


Then melt some butter and add some garlic powder.


A little milk.


And it's ready!


First a bowl of Fresh Express Asian Supreme salad.


Then one and a half helpings of potatoes.
