.... and a Mozzarella and Red Pepper Omelette ....
By the way, all my mates ate heavy bread sandwiches, which they drooled over whilst eating and woofed down so fast, then spent the next 2 hours complaining of a dense, stuffed, yucky feeling in their stomachs.
I, on the other hand, ate pure protein and fat and I felt amaaaaazing. I'm becoming more and more anti-carb as I get into this protein diet.

.... And I had a pot of Organic Earl Grey Tea with Cream.
Fresh leaf Earl Grey is an absolute treat. It smells like marshmallow and tickles my soul to the core. The addition of cream was so decadent and luxurious. Who needs desserty carb-addict treats when Earl Grey is in town?

We stopped in at Eataly after brunch and I couldn't help but buy some Tanzanian 75% Chocolate on sale. I had about 15g and was deeply satisfied. This brand is awesome! It didn't have the distinctive tasting-note characteristics. It was just perfect, creamy, buttery dark chocolate.
I also grabbed an amazing jar of 100% fruit peach compote. No sugar, not even any concentrated fruit. Just peaches. I can't wait to add these to my new full-cream Greek Gods plain yoghurt.
Oh, and I was thinking about what I'll miss when i leave NYC. It's all about the food. WholeFoods salad bar, organic everything, Grass-Fed meat and imported Italian goods. Buffalo Mozzarella in particular. It's one of my all-time favorite foods. SO I grabbed a ball from Eataly at a whopping $14. Can't wait for a Caprese Salad tonight. Buffalo Mozzarella, fresh torn basil, sliced tomato and a drizzle of organic extra virgin olive oil. Beautiful!

DINNER
Organic Green Soup with Poached Salmon and Dill.
Skinny Bride Mission Recipe: ORGANIC GREEN SOUP: Boil 6 cups chicken stock with 6 cups of chopped green organic vegetables. (I used kale, collard greens, green bell pepper, jalapeno, broccoli, cauliflower, leek, dill, zucchini). Add a clove of garlic, a knob of fresh ginger, 6 cardamom pods and loads of chili powder. Blend and serve hot.
The salmon fillet was too big. I ate 3/4 of it, (about 4 oz) and saved the rest fro tomorrow.

PRE-BEDTIME SNACK
1/3 cup Full-Fat Ricotta Cheese.
This stuff is devine. How have I ever put up with low-fat versions of ricotta? It honestly tasted like icecream straight from the tub.

MIDNIGHT SNACK
NOT HAPPY! I went to bed at a reasonable hour, slept for 2 sound hours then I was woken by our noisy clomping neighbors upstairs. They woke my fully and kept me awake until 2am. I was stressed, furious, indignant when Dave knocked on their door to ask them to please keep it down, and then hungry.
I had to eat a Berry Jelly Parfait with 1/2 a small tub of Full-Fat Fage and 1 Tbs Italian 100% Peach Compote.

I also had a handful of pumpkin seeds.
Then I was so worked up I had to have a sleeping pill. This sucks. I am ruled by my neighbors habits. It's not the first time either. 3 nights ago they were doing elephantine aerobics at 3am! Are you kidding me?
My calories were great today, until the neighbors decided to vacuum at 1am.
