Spicy Ahi is like Kryptonite to Me

Ah, TGI Friday! Not the restaurant (which is no longer in Hawaii, I think), but the day! It's Friday!

Maui likes to meditate on my bed. He will NOT come into my room unless I'm eating food (he wants some) or...when I leave in the morning for work. THEN he'll come to my bed, always plops himself in the same position, and meditates! Wondering if he might be buddhist or some other asian-based religion. He only does this when he's in my room (with the asian decor).

"Ohm..."

Today I needed to pick up my good ol' trusty Tag Heuer watch from the old Tata by the bus stop who fixes watches. I kinda wonder if the watch is on its last legs or if Tata is giving me crappy watch batteries, cause this is the 3rd time I've brought my Tag in to him in a year. When I bring mine in to Ben Bridge, the battery lasts over 2 years. Then again, BB charges thrice the price, and since I'm broke, well...guess I just settle for Tata.

Needless to say, I didn't get to walk from Chinatown. I did however, do the usual 20x around the office even though right before lunch I was dead tired for no good reason. I couldn't finish my lunch...just feel too full. :( Didn't even finish all of my blueberries.

I walked into Chinatown and got some bargains...89c/lb for apple bananas (usually $1.59) and $1.29 for cherries (usually $2.59)! Didn't walk up The Hill either, not with all the heavy produce in tow.

Payday Fridays as especially nice because I NEED to have spicy ahi at some point during the weekend. I wanted to go to Kuru Kuru Sushi because their spicy ahi don (bowl) is a deal, lots of spicy ahi and too much rice...but $7.50 for the bowl and I'm GOOD! However, when we passed by, the line waiting inside AND outside was Ridiculous (with a capital "R"!), so we ended up further down the road at Genki Sushi instead. I've never been to that particular establishment, so much to my dismay their spicy ahi don was...TINY compared to Kuru Kuru's. Which, should have been good for me, I SHOULD have stopped myself at that TINY little $2.80 bowl (perfect size, about 1/2 cup rice) BUT it did not have enough spicy ahi on it! ARRRRGH. So I ate 2 pieces of unagi. And ate some small octopus legs (uh-oh, fried) from mark's fried octopus bowl. And a salad (which, never in my life would I EVER think of ordering salad from a sushi place!). And 2 pieces of something with avocado and unagi. And more spicy ahi. And MORE spicy ahi. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of my spicy ahi and some unagi w/ avocado and crab thing (I ate 2 pcs)

Spicy Ahi don (1/2 c of rice), a mixed green salad, and 2 pcs of unagi

Ummm...ANOTHER spicy ahi don...I just ate the ahi, not all the rice though? :s

The Aftermath!

Note to self: just order spicy ahi or marlin poke from Taniokas from now on. No more eating at sushi places until end of the challenge. IF I can last that long. Man I don't think I can last that long w/o sushi....ice cream, chocolate, candy, chips, pastries...I don't even care about anymore. But spicy ahi sushi...OH HOW I LOVE YOU SO. BUT now I feel yucky and bloated. I can't even say "man oh man that sushi was gooood and it was worth it!". Sh*t, and now my wallet is like $35 lighter too. Grrrr...Genki is too expensive.

I know I shouldn't beat myself up about eating all that sushi, but darn I don't even know exactly how much rice and how much ahi it was so I can't get accurate counts today. Ah well...tomorrow is another day! I should make it a point to get up at 5:00 and do some of Gilad's workout. :) Okay I feel better now! Ah crap, now I see the Bodybugg numbers. WAAAAAH! :(

I'm guesstimating the dinner calories, but who knows, it might be pretty accurate. It's actually LESS than what I'm used to ordering for sushi...omg have I been eating that much???

Okay done whining. :D At least I made my step count and activity time for the day.
