Let's not waste any time! Let's take a look at the scale reading:
What in god's name is that? A gain? A gain of 0.8lbs at that too! I guess eggs really do help me during Ramadan! Again, it's a blunt number, unless it's a loss I won't be too happy about it lol. The reading on the scale today if you can't tell is 222.4lbs. Let's move on!
Iftar
Today we were having fish, Alexandrian style (fried and submerged in sauce). Also, this requires roz samak which is basically onion flavoured rice. So today we got a little creative!
There was little I could do about the fish, had to put it in flour after it sat in the marinade and deep fried the suckers. Although I told myself I wouldn't eat any of the skin, just the fish itself. At least i'm telling myself that it won't affect me ;) After they were fried they were submerged in the spicy tomato garlic sauce.
This would be tilapia cut and cleaned, then fried. So what was I going to do about the rice? Well, the other day at the market I found a yellow cauliflower and immediately said "What if I fry the onions in macadamia oil, and then add the cooked cauliflower to it?"
Not quite the brown colour that normally the egyptian rice brings up, looks more like saffron rice. However, it was delicious. It's not an exact match, but it was close enough for me!!
I also had this salad on the side. Usually what I do is I take all the white meat of the fish out and put it on the rice, add salad and tahini (which I didn't have today), and more sauce and mix it all together and eat it like a burrito bowl. Didn't picture it since my hands were dirty! But it was really good!
Of course to break my fast I had water and my PAG supplement.
Suhur
No suhur today! I decided to only have my protein shake and see how that goes tomorrow. Only because after Ramadan i'm going to have 3 whole days of garbage, and then get back on for the long haul. SO i'm taking advantage of the fasting by limiting my meals in the next couple of days.
See you tomorrow and let's hope for some good results!
