Matsuri Sushi

For dinner, we decided to go out again for two reasons: a) I’m going to be stuck in the same four walls for a week or more so I wanted to get out of the apt while I can, and 2) we wanted sushi! And I can’t make sushi. :) (Not that I’ve ever tried, although I totally would) I chose sushi for my last solid-food meal because it’s both light and filling, and I love it. We went to a sushi place near us, Matsuri.

We started off with the cucumber wrapped eel roll:

I had two of the rolls.

Then we got the Sushi and Sashimi Plate for Two:

I had the right side of the plate (one of each type of the groups). SOO delicious. Matsuri never disappoints. I’m estimating dinner at 700 calories.

Peter is mopping the apt as I type (love him), which marks the end of our thorough cleaning of the apt. As for the rest of the evening, I’m going to introduce P to Flight of the Concords, try to stay calm, and go to sleep. :) I have to report to the hospital at 8:30 AM, so the plan is to wake up at 7:30, take a shower, and take a cab over. I’m not sure how much/how little I’ll be posting over the next two or three days . I may find comfort in posting and post as usual or I may want to sleep and stare at the TV all day. Who knows? But I will try to post when I can. Thanks guys, and wish me luck!

Sushi Samba

Hey guys, quick post because I have to get to bed early so I can wake up for my 7 AM pilates class. I got out of work really late tonight, and went to Modell’s to get a bathing suit and swim goggles. I’ve been thinking about adding swimming to my workouts for a while, and I think I’ll kick it off this weekend! I’m really pleased that I’ve been expanding my workout routines – it’s really been very satisfying! My lunch was definitely too small – before I left work I had an iced coffee and a new flavor of Luna Bar: Chocolate Raspberry.

It was good, but not great – I could definitely taste both the chocolate and the raspberry, which I wasn’t expecting. Still, it could have been better. Snack was 190 calories, 27g carbs, 5g fat, and 9g protein.

When I got finally got back, I only had time for one thing: cook dinner or go to the gym. P told me to go to the gym (he knows how I get minus gym time :) ) so he ordered in sushi while I worked out. I did the Cardio Smorgasboard again, and I had an amazing workout! Awesome calorie burn! Cardio Smorgas = 558 calories burned.

Before I worked out, I had an Ezekiel English Muffin Cinnamon Raisin with a tbsp Almond Butter:

Pre Workout Snack was 175 calories, 21g carbs, 9g fat, and 7g protein.

The blog has allowed me to analyze my eating, and I’ve realized how often we eat out! I feel like that might be a product of New York – there’s always a new, delicious restaurant to try! I feel like I make good choice 90% of the time, so it’s okay. Let me know your thoughts…

For dinner, I had a bowl of miso (a great starter to fill up on) plus 2 salmon rolls, 4 tuna rolls, and 4 spinach rolls, and edamame.

Dinner was 387 calories, 50g carbs, 8g fat, and 31g protein.

Night all!
