Chic-fil-A's Chargrilled and Fruit Salad

Picture above was lunch, along with a few sips of their chicken noodle soup. Yes, that was it! I did not finish the greens. I wasn't a fan of the way the chicken tastes like, much more the vinaigrette that came along with it. I savoured the fruits -- strawberries, apples, mandarin orange slices, and grapes! Oh I enjoyed the soup as well but had to share it with the little one hehehe!

I couldn't survive with this lunch at all! I was starving and my palate couldn't help but imagine bursting flavors and whatnots. I hoped for an Indian dinner. Although I am not sure how much calories there are in the chicken tikka masala with all its creamy and savory glory... Good thing the husband suggested we have Japanese instead. Oh my! Thank goodness for Asian flavors!

Had miso soup, shrimp tempura (I didn't care about the batter!), lemongrass chicken, gyoza (ah fried! grrr!), and my greens with the ginger dressing (alleluia, flavorful at last!)... very filling sans rice. I successfully ignored my craving for some coke, tang, and whatever drink besides water.

Could this be start? To that phase of eating consciously and wisely? To sometimes boring appetite? To bland-I'd rather just drink-no choice in the menu life? Ahhh, whatever it takes. Now, the challenge is to create wonderful dishes with just fish and chicken (and maybe sometimes shrimp), vegetables and spices.... Emphasis on fish! I have never been a friend of seafood. Why? Because I can't eat them, sometimes. It's itchy, it's stinky, it's not hypoallergenic. Oh well.

Btw, no exercise for today and oh brunch were two slices of toast with chicken salad and non fat milk. For dessert earlier in the evening, I had one little clementine to tame my about-to-be-harsh throat.

Tomorrow, I hope to be good... geesh as I type this I just remembered my medication (Lopid)! Got to take it! Darn! And why is Tang calling my name? Aigooo!
