Summer in Boston: Week 3 • 6/21-6/27

I've summarized my highlights of the past week as well as my meals, so you can get an idea of my cooking/eating plan while living alone. Here’s what went down recently:


Wednesday June 21: free squatted 175lb at the gym yee, helped a guy find his housekey in the dark on the sidewalk, and discovered broth rice (aka rice cooked in veggie broth instead of water) as my new favorite thing. TIL locks of love accepts colored hair!

breakfast: banana oats, 1/2 scoop whey in cold brew coffee

lunch: soba, chicken, cantaloupe, berries, vosge’s golden berry + acai chocolate

dinner: soba, chicken, broth rice, dr praeger's veg burger

  • no joke I am having soba & chicken for 5 meals because I’m part of the 2% of the population that doesn’t mind eating the same thing for x days in a row. soba & chicken is DELICIOUS yo
