Ocean Roaches … and Fruit!

Yah tasty, but not like that.

I may (or not) have mentioned that I’m fat, and not in a good way.  Bloated and swole, I believed I may (or not) have called it.

I/me/we am/are/is holding me/myself/I accountable to my bloated and swoleness, mainly because Half is so shrill, and also because the bod didn’t always look like this.

I used to be considered somewhat objectively attractive.  Now?  Just married and fat.  So let’s begin!

Found a fasting diet that works — 5:2, look it up.  Somewhat painful but thus far effective. 

And exercise.  Mountain climbing in the house, very trendy.  And some outside fitness, about (optimistically) four times a week.

Again, diet and exercise, and a shape other than round is highly achievable
(here’s looking at you, Lizzo, Yumi, that fat woman doing yoga in all the fitness commercials (why) … if Rebel Wilson can do it [although … should have she?  Now her smile looks too big for her face] anyone can.) 

Body positivity is just another rationalization to stay fat … so there.  And nobody in South Sudan seems to have a glandular problem.  And there’s that.

Forgot/digress … for one of the meals in the 2 of the 5:2, eat this!

Avocado Salad with Pan-Seared Shrimp

             5-6 prawns / jumbo shrimp (oxy … moh’ron?), cleaned and deveined (all the veins)

             Half med/large avocado, chopped into chunks

             One cup of cherry tomatoes
              (prefer baby heirlooms, but I’m fancy), cut into halves then fourths

             ½ medium red onion, sliced thin(ly?)

             Two cloves garlic, chopped/sliced/minced/whatever, make ‘em small

             One tbsp + another tbsp olive oil

             One tbsp balsamic vinaigrette

             Sea salt / black pepper to taste

Put chopped avocados, cut tomatoes, butchered onions, and hacked garlic (it’s a veggie slaughter!) into a medium-sized bowl, add first tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, sea salt and pepper, mix mix mix … set aside.

Take a medium skillet, heat over med-high heat, add 2nd tbsp of olive oil, some sea salt and pepper.  Place prawn/shrimp (ocean roaches {Lev. 11:10} – yum!) in pan, sear until opaque (wat – flesh looks white [that’s raysis!]) then remove from heat, let cool slightly (or not), add to veggie slaughter.  Put the whole mix into a nicer bowl, grab a fork, feed the face. 

You’re welcome.
