This is the last back-logged post, which means... I'm finally caught up!

organic original soy milk (sweetened)

uh, self-explanatory? "granola thin" with "chocolatey" coating 

salad from Hosu (iceberg lettuce, carrot, cucumber, some type of gingery vinaigrette) 

grilled mushroom, meatball (??), chicken, with teriyaki/bbq sauce 

marinated soybeans; kim chi; spicy marinated potato; glass noodles;
salmon sashimi; white tuna (?) sashimi; coleslaw; bean sprouts; zucchini;
carrots; futo maki; avocado roll; grilled bbq/teriyaki shrimp

  

iced latte (sweetened); nutella milkshake, whipped cream (shared with Wilson) 

dark chocolate hazelnut crepe; coffee ice-cream; vanilla ice-cream (all split with Wilson) 

1% milk; chocolately chip Teddy Grahams

veggie medley (broccoli, red and yellow onion, mixed bell peppers, evoo, sea salt, pepper,
Italian seasoning); biscuit*; mac 'n' cheese*; cajun fries*; fried chicken (thigh)*

Bartlett pear

iced sugar cookies; decaf Earl Grey Tea with sweetened condensed milk
(I split the cookies with Wilson and drank about 1/3 of the tea) 

*All from Popeyes

Notes: I was so full from the previous night's buffet disaster that I could barely manage to get down my half glass of soy milk for breakfast! Sunday is almost always an intentional cheat day, so even though I got a late start to the eating it certainly was indulgent. So much sugar!! :o Also, I should note that I was not as scrupulous in documenting everything as usual - I had another piece of chicken (a drumstick) for dinner but didn't take a picture, Wilson shared my bento box at lunch (but I also had a little more of his futo maki), I probably mooched about half his nutella milkshake (for obvious reasons!!) and then he drank most of my iced latte, etc.

Still more catching up...

1% milk

Turkey bacon

Leftover chicken veggie stir-fry (see March 4); smoothie (banana, 4% plain yogurt, 1% milk,
organic honey, frozen fruit: blueberries, strawberries, sour cherries, sweet cherries, currants)

Coconut milkshake (you can see a few trays of meat in the background)

Side dishes (two kinds of marinated bean sprouts; spicy marinated tofu and potato;
daikon (?) picked radish; kim chi); some kind of clean broth; white rice

Meat awaiting the grill: marinated chicken (dark meat); marinated beef;
sausage; white fish; squid; salmon; marinated pork (plus marinated beef short ribs, not pictured)

Kalbi (marinated beef short rib) and sausage, after grilling

Notes: After a day spent deep-cleaning and tidying the condo, we had the (not so) brilliant idea to go for Korean BBQ for dinner. First of all, I forgot my camera (of course). Secondly, I gave up trying to take pictures of everything I ate, because it's the nature of a meal like this that you take a million small bites, and documenting every one of them would have completely destroyed my enjoyment of the meal. Suffice it to say, it was a buffet of (mostly) marinated meat. I ate too much and paid for it by staying up until 3:30 am, while my poor digestive system tried to deal with the landslide of food I consumed, and drinking at least a gallon of water in an attempt to quench my sodium (and probably MSG)-induced thirst. Ugh - no more buffets! The upshot, if there was any, is that I didn't order a bottomless glass of Diet Coke (yup, clutching at any small victory I can find, here!) and that I can't actually eat as much as I used to, so "stuffing myself" now means eating much less food than a couple years ago. It's still way to much to eat in one sitting, however. Especially since the side dishes were the only veggies in sight.

Still catching up...

Leftover baked oatmeal (see March 6); 1% milk; egg,
organic salted butter, sea salt, pepper 

 

2% milk; tap water with ice; 12" ham sub on honey oat bread with swiss cheese,
lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, green pepper, red onion,
pepper, light mayo, honey mustard

Leftover shepherd's pie (see March 2)

Banana

1% milk; "chocolatey chip" Teddy Graham cookies

Notes: This was a tough day because I had a horrible morning and was totally plotting a lunch trip to McDonald's (I had coupons and everything!). I knew I'd be eating lunch away from home since I was making a trip to the mall, but when it came down to it I opted for something much healthier (and more filling, since I needed it to last me almost 5 hrs to my next meal). I also was planning to crash at home (after doing a couple hours emergency shift coverage at work) but instead decided to go out to our church fellowship. They were having an Iron Chef cooking competition, but I didn't eat a thing! Yes, I did go home and eat milk and cookies afterwards, but considering all the temptations I successfully avoided today, overall I consider the day a good one.

Leftovers (finished all the veggies in the sandwich and
about half the croissant, plus a handful of fries -
this is what I left behind)

Peanut butter chocolate milkshake (consumed mostly by Wilson,
who insisted on ordering it, although, to be fair, I had a
decent amount of his orange creamsicle shake,
but sadly forgot to snap a photo of it)

Notes: As you can see, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. That is all. (And quite enough for one week!)
