Happy Friday World!
I had a very busy day! Which is a rare thing in my current job. However, this was a great day filled with things to do and looking onward to the future-considering things like my next job and researching average salary for the position i wont. WOWeeeeee do Americans have it good, comparing my current china salary to the US is like black and white. Although maybe i am over estimating my worth, its always good to start high and negotiate down then vice versa. Atleast that was my dad’s opinion- but to him i am worth a million bucks (gahh i love him!)
Anyways last night after my belly dancing class i broke one of my rules! I ate after 9pm, but class got out at 9 and i hadn’t had my apple yet. SO i ate it while i walked home around 9 15ish. My stomach felt gur-gully when i was laying down reading my book, and i could tell it wasn’t happy with its late night digestion requirements! Anyways i finished my book-sad and good- last night. It was a really easy read and comical, also the first book i can remember i have read for pleasure and finished in all my life! Its called “The Hard times of the Thunderbolt kid” by Bill Bryson. He is an awesome writer who basically just covers his childhood life in the US during the 1950’s t present, in Iowa, in a comical and funny manner. Wow LONG SENTENCE! i’ve been writing all day so don’t mind my run on thoughts and lack of passion for editing. I suffice.
My diet and exercise was good today. However, i think bc of the cloudy weather i don’t have much energy. I ran for 20 minutes, walked at a steep incline for 5 minutes and got off- NOT completing my 35 minute running as projected 😦 Anyways i moved onto the circuit training of my workout at a more steady pace and did it all. Then when i was leaving the gym, i saw my friend Amy running and said hello. I told her i only ran for 25 and she said well get back on a do 10! SO I DID! sometimes you just need that person to push you, or just to run next to, to get you back on track! So i ran another 10 min at the end of my workout and left the gym feeling better than i would had i not run at the end! Anways were going out tonight to a fun dance club/bar in Louhu, but i am not going to drink! This is going to be a challenge! But i know i can do it! Just drink tea or water!
Anwyays what i ate today:
Breakfast: (yummy becoming my fav)
-4egg whites
-3 small mushrooms
-1/4 cup onion
-1/2 tomato
(i put it all chopped, together in a bowl with the egg whites, mix it up, and pop it in the over for about 25 minutes making a quiche like dish! its easy and while its cooking i get dressed and ready for work! So great, i love multitasking when it is simple!)
Lunch:
-4 oz chicken breast boiled
-1 cup broccoli baked last night and microwaved today
-1/4 cup red onion
-1/2 cup cucumbers
Snack:
-1 medium apple
Dinner:
-1 can tuna
-4 tbsp mustard- YUMMM
-1/4 red onion
-10-15 cherry tomatoes???
-1 apple
-3 cups fresh cabbage
With these i make like tuna taco’s with the cabbage as the wrap. I put loads of black pepper, sichuan (spelling?) pepper, and grated red pepper in the tuna with a pinch of salt. I’m really trying to reduce my sodium intake- i.e water weight! Today the scale didn’t change from yesterday, bummer! However i am hopeful it will continue its great reduction tomorrow!
Tonight, like i said, is going to be a big night-i think. Its friday night and time to party and dance and be social! Social with no alcohol, but i know my friend amy will want me to drink. I hope i have the will power to do it! i Know i dont need to drink to have a fun time, but i do enjoy drinking from time to time. I just havent gone long enough on my diet to drink already. Plus im saving those drinks for Bali!!!!!! More tomorrow, wish me luck, even though i know i dont need it because i am DETERMINED to stay away from alcohol tonight 🙂
Kisses (mmmm hershey kisses) haha nom nom apple snack time!
