It’s the Fourth of July, but not that I really care because there’s no real celebration here. I don’t work on Fridays anyway. I’m on a full study marathon until Tuesday (exam *groans*) and then, I’ll taste F-R-E-E-D-O-M. Oh yes. As you can see, I enjoy blogging during my study period because I’m a major procrastinator. During this period, my house is ultra-clean and there will be no dirty laundry or dirty dishes in the sink. Talk to Bubster, he knows.
I just did 40-min of Denise Austin’s Hit The Spot Pilates. This is definitely my staple pilates DVD. You can customise your own workouts (just ADD, and ADD) to target and tone which ever part of the body you wish. Each workout is about 10 min – so you don’t have the time, just pick one, because everyone has 10-min to spare right? The best thing about this DVD, you can just have music and not Denise’s instructions as she can sound a little annoying.
Today, I did abs & waistline, power abs, thighs and hips. Power Abs is a real killer for me, especially when I just finished abs & waistline. I can’t do a full teaser, you know those V-shape ones. I can only manage a half. I did pulled a full teaser once before toppling to the side. My goal right now is to be able to do a full teaser by September.
Meet Sticky Date Cookie.
I’ve been having these for a couple of days now. I got it from the health section in Cold Storage. According to the pack, each cookie is about 50 calories. They were quite yummy, not too sweet but Bubster thinks they’re alright. He thinks I sacrificed good yummy sugary stuff for this blah cookie. I miss my gingernut cookies from Marks & Spencer *sobs*
Last night’s dinner.
I took this picture because I was kinda proud on how my lemon pepper grilled chicken bits turned out. Yesterday’s dinner was yummy. Today I’m not cooking because it’s Friday and I’m lazy. It seems like someone is not coming home for dinner and now, it’s 8:20pm. Thanks for not calling, Bubster.
Breakfast: Nutella on toast, Protein Berry
Lunch: Leftover from last night – steam vegetables and lemon pepper grilled chicken
Snack: Kiwi fruit, 3 x stick date cookies, SOYJOY hawthorn berry, lemongrass juice
Dinner: Yong Tau Foo and Papaya. I’m boring, what can I say
Happy weekend!!

I am definitely going through a “roasting” phase! The oven is my new best friend. I had quite a late dinner considering it takes at least 35 min to roast vegetables. Bubster got home at 820pm, so that’s not a good sign. I had 3 x mandarin oranges to fill my tummy after pilates.
Dinner: Grill beef and roasted pumpkin, potatos, garlic, onion
Snack: 3 x mandarin oranges and fruit juice, a bite of Nutella on toast (not my sandwich!)
I did pilates – oh I always feel ultra-fresh after that. I did core, abs and buns – 10 min each. My abs were definitely trembling after. That’s good right? My body is getting more accustom to working out. My muscles don’t hurt so much. I definitely want to do evening yoga or at least 15 min of meditation later to calm my mind down.
OK back to the books. Dad’s birthday is tomorrow. I’ve to wish him tonight.

OK. I gave-in to not just one, but TWO bad snacks. I was hungry and I popped by the Korean supermarket below my building for my favourite Lotte Lemon Cheese and Cheese Stick. Ooh, that’s 225kcal!
Bah. I need to get with the program. Dinner won’t be ready for another hour or so. Need to fill up that tummy. I’ve got some Mandarin oranges but tummy is still a little acidic. Trying to stay away from the Vitamin C.
Breakfast: Cheese Sandwich, 1 x Banana
Lunch: Char Siew Rice, Guava
Bad Snacks: Lotte Lemon Cheese and Cheese Stick
OK, I’m going to do 30 min pilates right now!
