Fun With Food Friday!!

My favorite day of the week is finally here, and I'm ready to let my hair all the way down! I've been a reeeaal good girl with my power walks, some roller blading and also consuming NO processed sugar all week (with the exception of that pack of Twizzlers yesterday - my one guilty little treat) and pretty much sticking to my healthier eating plan.
I look back and see no errors. SO. Tonight I'm heading out with some buds and we are doing an ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI AND SAKE NIGHT!!!!


OMG. Can you tell how excited I am?? Yes, I knew it was coming and prepared. I hope I can eat as much as I think. I've been being so good that I might have sabotaged myself, really! ;)

Tomorrow will see me doing a few miles of blading with some folks, so all the carb loading should be good, right? That should also take care of burning off some of that sake! Yeah...that's what I'm sayin'! I absolutely believe in the reward system, and my reward will be grasped between two chopsticks in a mere few hours! Can you say SAKE BOMB?? LOL. I can! ;)

Hope your weekend gets off to a great start also. Remember, be good to yourself when you can! I'm sure you deserve it!

For Love of Sushi..

I'm a sushi girl, BIG TIME. I can eat a ton of it. I once went to an all you can eat sushi buffet and almost killed myself. However, when you're cutting those calories, and watching your carbs, sushi is NOT the way to go. It's more of a reward or a treat. And I wouldn't do it more than once a month when on a diet. So, yesterday, I had my little reward of the most awesome sushi EVER! And the fact that I haven't had it in a long while made it all the better. The sushi chef had to hide his smile as I sat there with my eyes rolling back in my head with every piece I ate. YUM!


So, of course I'm calorie sniping right now, so although I enjoyed my sushi unrestrainedly, I figured that getting the goods on sushi calorie content would be a good idea. So, here's the rundown on the calories you consume when you eat sushi, sashimi, and a few other Japanese restaurant delights.
