Coming together
Mar. 13th, 2007 08:33 pmMy soup plan is working out wonderfully, I think I'll keep it up indefinitely. Prepare stock (onion, carrots, leek/onion-type thing they sell everywhere here) Monday morning, then just dump some greens and noodles and/or dumplings and/or tofu and/or an egg in the pot when I get home, adding a little water if necessary. Ten minutes later, soup's on! Though I really must remember to buy ginger for next week. Also, this is incredibly cheap: I get five good meals for under $10.
Another side-effect of the soup (and salads for lunch) is losing over an inch around the hips in the past month*. Of course, there are many factors at play. The fact that it's a ten-minute walk to the station is one, the fact that I'm not sitting around being depressed is another. I've been doing a lot of walking, exploring the neighbourhood and going further afield, checking up on the plum blossoms (pretty much all gone now, sadly) and the cherry blossoms (on their way!), finding temples and shopping streets and Engrish galore.
( Some more personal stuff )
* I've been wanting to write about my weight, or rather the concept of weight in general, for some time, but there's so much I'd like to say that I don't know if I'll get around to it. But for now I'll make myself motivated and say that it's coming... Eventually.
