Lunch

[dudelovenext]

Lunch: Normandy-style veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots), peppers (green, red, yellow), almonds, olive oil, minced garlic. So good and good for you! *sigh* Though it sucked eating nearly 3000 calories yesterday. -_-

Had a great Game Night last night. The group surprised JT with a Nintendo DS with Mario Kart DS. :) Played Mario Kart DS for a while (multiplayer is way better then the single player), then played a rousing game of Shadows minus Shaun. No traitors that game, probably cause Shaun was absent. :)

Afterwards headed out for some Pho. I've considered not going for Pho anymore; it's LOADED with calories (a regular bowl probably has between 800-1000 calories). Still, it's so tasty, the perfect Winter food. I'm not sure I could stay away. :)

Had a nice talk with JT afterwards. Things are definitely looking on the up for him, which is good to see. Might be going to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show this weekend with him with some of his co-workers. We'll see how much energy I have late Saturday.

Today is my relaxing day. :) Cleaning as always is on the list (never seems to get done...). I need to get to the gym before 3pm, and finally sit down and calculate the house stuff (yes, I've been putting it off). And I should actually watch my Netflix video, and play some WoW. So much to do!

Also, if you get a BIG bowl of pho, you could always save it for another meal. 1000 calories spread over two meals isn't bad, right?

I find that leftover pho noodles soak up all the soup...

[kapslocked.livejournal.com]

Eh. Don't really care. Just eat it the same day.

I'm not good at that kind of thing. I have to make EXACTLY how much I want to eat, otherwise I have the tendancy to eat everything in front of me. `^_^

You're kidding! Is pho really that high in calories? I thought it was just water and steamed veggies. :P How many calories can that be?

[justawave.livejournal.com]

the water is broth, which is most likely made with some sort of beef. Also, pho is a lot of noodles, which adds to the total!

I didn't realize it was that much - Stephen my brother and his girlfriend were wondering about that and we never figured it out.

Is there someplace where you can look that up? Every pho place (and there are like 8 on the Ave) prepare it differently...

I asked Dan, who's really good at estimating that kind of stuff. I also looked at some generic Pho nutritional values and that seemed to be the consensus. I'm sure it varies, but for beef Pho, yeah.

Well, it does depend. I get mine with beef (that's the only choice at the place I go), but it's not a heaping amount. I think it's the noodles that don't help.

Whats with everyine playing WoW? It's not that great...now WoD thats where it's at! XD

WoW is really great when you have a lot of friends to play with. I think that's why a good portion of us play (Right JT, Dan, Stephen? ;)). Half of the reason I play is for socialization (wow.. that sounds geeky).

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

WoD?

It's just a lot of fun. Gotta play it to find out! ;)

[lhcat.livejournal.com]

I wish they made a smaller bowl of Pho that I could actually finish! ;)

I swear it's those noodles that give all the calories. :(

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind a smaller bowl myself. I can eat a regular, but I'm sure I could get by with less.

"Might be going to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show this weekend with him with some of his co-workers."

Who are you going to be dressed as?

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

Just myself. :) But I probably won't go this time, fundage is at a low. -_- I'll go another time.
