So yesterday I woke up feeling like death - worst.headache.ever. It felt like a terrible, terrible hangover. Not sure how Joshi feels about ibuprofen, but too fucking bad, it had to be done! Still, I didn't cheat, no coffee, no junk. It was leftovers for lunch and leftovers for dinner with almonds and tea in between.
Today was a gym day which means I'm typically extra hungry so pre-gym I scarfed back a green salad with chickpeas, feta, broccoli, onion, and olive oil. Not the most delicious thing I ever ate, but not too bad. Then leftover dal with chicken after the gym.
I got home from work with a MASSIVE craving for a glass of red wine but I've held out. I can do it!
Apart from the wine, one of the things I'll crave (especially in this weather) is pho, so tonight I improvised a "faux pho" and was pleasantly surprised with the result!
Here's what I did...
In a large pot I combined the following ingredients:
6 cups of organic chicken broth
A tablespoon of ginger
Half a yellow onion, thinly sliced
Half a lime, halfed and thrown in
Small handful of basil
Small handful of cilantro
Even smaller handful of mint
1 red bird chili for a bit of heat
A tiiiiny dash of Braggs for a touch of salt
2 baby bok choy cut in half
A small handful of broccoli
Chicken (but could use tofu)
I let the ginger, onions broth and herbs stew together for awhile, then added the chicken and let it cook thoroughly, then added the veg at the end. In a separate pot I cooked the rice noodles and added them to the soup once cooked. C'est tout!
On to Day 4!
