Day 21


Morning Weight: 140.7 lbs

I'm expecting my monthly friend so I'm not sure if my body is all wacky from that. I certainly hope so because I don't see why I'd fluctuate so much right now.


breakfast: eggs with smoked salmon and a little bit cream cheese
lunch: smashburger grilled chicken sandwich with no bun
snack: mini cheesecake bites
dinner: smashburger grilled chicken imitation in heart lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Found a blog that imitated the smashburger chicken so I attempted it. This is basically what she said...


Smashburger Imitation Chicken
  • Start pounding relatively hard, but be careful not to split the chicken. You want to pound them until there about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Once the chicken breasts are pounded thin, lay them out on a large plate, careful not to overlap.
  • Drizzle some olive oil over the top, and be sure they’re coated.
  • On the first side, sprinkle about 1/8 tsp of each of salt, oregano, and basil. Sprinkle just a touch of garlic powder over the top and finish off with some black pepper.
  • Flip the breasts over, and again be sure they’re coated with olive oil. Sprinkle about 1/8 tsp of salt, oregano, and basil, but this time, forgo the garlic powder. Top off with some black pepper.
  • On each of the buns, spread a small amount of margarine on each side. These will be grilled along with the chicken.
  • Grill the chicken on medium high heat for about 3-5 minutes on each side, checking often.
I barely coated in olive oil and only added a tiny pinch of salt on one side. I also used the garlic powder on both sides because I love garlic! It was a bit overcooked (my fault) but I liked it. Nice flavor. Nothing like smashburger's grilled chicken but probably healthier.

Kirby Cafe Tokyo Reservations

Reservations open at 6pm JST on the 10th of each month! Tokyo, Japan To get an idea before reservations open, click on HAKATA and choose 1 person. You'll probably see some openings (circles) to get yourself acquainted with the form. Tokyo Kirby Cafe Reservations Reservations for the next month open at 6pm JST on the 10th (May reservations opened at April 10, 6pm JST.) I signed on right before it turned 6pm JST to check the website. Thankfully it wasn't crashing like other websites (cough Ghibli Museum!) but there are some things I wish I knew beforehand.  There is a dropdown menu on the top right that allows you to change from Japanese to English. This is helpful if you are just looking at the website but it defaults back to Japanese every time you refresh.  EVERY SECOND COUNTS. JUST SKIP THE ENGLISH . Remember how I said you can change it to English? I feel like I wasted a good amount of time doing that... Really it was just a couple of seconds but by the time I got int...

Tokyo Pokemon Cafe Reservations Tips

Reservations open at 6pm JST, about 31 days before. https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/cafe/en/reservation.php Current Time in Tokyo I got some amazing tips for getting a Pokemon Cafe reservation so I'm sharing it here. Pokemon Cafe reservations open at 6pm JST, 31 days before! This is great because you are not competing with everyone else who might not even want to go on the same day as you. BUT you are competing with people who want to go on the same day as you, so you need to be QUICK! TIP #1. Scope it out first! Go to the reservation page and take a look around to familiarize yourself with the page. You don't want to be looking at this for the first time when you're trying to book. TIP #2. Turn off the Google auto-translate to English.  The Japanese version is pretty straightforward and the translation messes up the calendar. The first month is fine but since you're booking out 31 days out, you want the second month. I'm trying to book May 21st here. You c...

JR Pass

 The JR Pass is an option for non-residents of Japan to purchase. Instructions: Purchase the JR Pass before you travel to Japan (It doesn't seem like there's an "official" website as many vendors do sell it. Just do your research to make sure it's legit. Personally, I have used japan-rail-pass.com before. I think the top choices in your Google search is probably safe.) Receive the Exchange Order Fly to Japan  Exchange the Exchange Order at a participating JR Pass ticket office Enjoy the JR lines! How to Use: Previously, the JR Pass was a booklet that you had to show each station's ticket attendant but I've heard that they've upgraded it to a ticket now! It looks just like a train fare ticket would and you insert it into the ticket gate like any other ticket. The only concern is that it looks just like a regular ticket so do not lose it ! PROs: The JR Pass is convenient because you don't need to think about it. You just scan your ticket and can get...
