When the boards were up during renovation, I thought "Oh no, another salad place!" When they opened, I decided to pop in for a visit and, it turns out that they make pretty good salads. The concept is innovative.

For $8.90, you get a bowl of mixed greens, a dressing of choice and 6 toppings of your fancy – tuna, sunflower seeds, tofu, corn, broccolli, olives, cheese, chick peas etc. You’d be hardpressed to find something you didn’t like! It has become my new favourite take out for lunch. I would usually get two servings of tuna, egg, tofu, sunflower seed and chick peas with a french ravegoti dressing (olive oil, lemon juice etc). Absolutely yums and I get my protein.

It helps that the owners are on hand to serve you, gives service a real kick! If you are in the CBD area, drop by and give them a look.

Protein-wise, it’s an awesome day. Caloric-wise, it is the devil’s armpit. It is commonly said that not all calories are made equal so we’ll see. I should not have had that yogurt. Blasted 11am hunger pangs! (more…)

Working out x 3 a week and meal planning to boot comes with it's own set of time management issues. There is just not enough time in the day to do everything. Usually, I cook twice a week for the entire week's worth of food. Needless to say, it means everything has to be done in double time or less.

I love chinese stir fry – everything still tastes incredibly crunchy and fresh.

One of my favourite recipes is coincidentally, the fastest to prepare. Prep time: 5mins (excludes defrosting of meats) and cooking time: 5mins.

What a better way to begin a week than on a clean slate! After last weekend’s debauchery (food-wise), I welcome the regiment that comes with eating clean.

Wow. This marks the second month of recording down my food intake. Gee. Time does fly when you are having (not!) fun. Truth be told, it is quite easy to do, it simply takes effort.

My goal this week is to eat 100% great even on the weekend. Documenting every single thing that I consume has its pros and cons. The obsessive side of me is discouraged that i have yet to break my mini goal and I am so close to goal (a mere kg away) which makes me wonder if my body is meant to be this way or if there’s something that I am not doing well enough.

Save the muscle talk. I truly doubt it’s muscle.

Not working out hard enough, not eating great enough etc. The flipside is that, I know I am not doing bad at all. Even on my cheat days, I don’t consume simple carbs because I don’t have the need to. I am perfectly satiated on protein and complex carbs. I just have to push on and not give up now.

T’was the sweltering heat that caused my afternoon migraine attack. No matter what natural method I tried, the nagging pain persisted. Eventually, I reached for the pill bottle.

By dinner time, the pulsing behind my eyes had stopped and my belly could only stomach comfort food.

It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Healthy, light and yums. Recipe after the cut :) (more…)
