two-square dinner

Spinach salad with various veggies, konyaku and spicy garlic, egg-whites, post workout banana.

So what exactly IS this magical "food" konyaku? According to teh internets, konyaku is "a traditional Japanese jelly-like health food made from a kind of potato called "Konnyaku potato" and calcium hydroxide or oxide calcium extracted from eggshells".
It's basically a squishy, rubbery-textured thing processed into flat chunks, blocks, or long stringy strands. It has zero flavor (but sucks up whatever flavors are around it) and almost no calories, since it's almost entirely made of fiber (Glucomannan) that the human digestive system cannot digest. So it flushes right through, but it's high in water content (90%) and fills the stomach nicely. Good way to round out a sparse meal to get that full-bellied feeling. I actually like eating it; it's really chewy and squishy and fun to gnosh.

Eating dinner at my desk at 8pm on a Friday...went to the gym earlier to knock out some more jumps and do my pull-ups and kung-fu sits, which are part of tomorrow's workout but since I don't have a pull-up bar at home I did them now and tomorrow I'll just do the rest of the workout and some dining-table inclined pull-ups or something.
And coming out of the shower I noticed a...crinkle, or something, in my bicep. The lower end of it, that connects above the inner elbow, is, like, shaped or ridged or something. I guess all those different curls (outside, thumbs up, show-off, etc.) are chiseling what I thought was a big slab of meat into a sculpted thing of curves and edges and angles and peaks. Really, really neat!
