It’s Friday – and that means Seafood! Tuna for lunch
and Tilapia for dinner. I’ll be honest with you – if I didn’t designate Friday
as Seafood day, there would be weeks going by with no seafood on my tracker. I
love shrimp but don’t eat it enough. I love whitefish salad but with prices at
an all-time high local bagel stores are adding weird things to the salad such
as large chucks of celery and eggs? Huh? I’ve got nothing against celery and
eggs, but if I’m going to pay $16-lb for whitefish salad then it’s not gonna
have any additives to bulk it up. So I haven’t had good whitefish salad for a
while – and of course I avoid bagels so it’s just as well. I make Friday’s a ‘Seafood
Event’ – dedicated a whole day to it and Viola'! Fish takes center stage and I’m
sure to eat at least 2 servings of it every week. I also take Omega-3 fish oil
every day because it’s great for cardiovascular health, brain, joints, skin and
it has built-in anti-inflammatory properties which I need. So of course I love
Fridays!
Another benefit to Friday… the weekend starts! The
weather is so beautiful it’s unbelievable. Everyone on Long Island will be out
and about this weekend – no question, and I will be no exception. I’ll see the
new Planet of the Apes movie. I’m going to the outlets and also a BBQ. For the
record, I will not be one of those who eats 2 hot
dogs/buns, a cheeseburger/bun, a piece of chicken and a rib or two, potato and mac salads,
corn on the cob, some chips, cookies, fruit salad, cake or pie, sodas, beers, ice
cream etc. No, for me it’s like any other meal – I’ll be sure to limit the food
intake to one piece of meat/bread, some salad, maybe some fruit, and probably a
drink or two. But I won’t have another 3000 calorie day – I can tell you that
right now. No indeed.
I’ll also be doing a lot of walking this weekend.
And I’ll even manage to do some strength training (probably tonight). So it
will be a fun yet disciplined weekend. Meanwhile…
