Why you may ask?
Well ladies :) Yesterday after running my 10.5 K at the gym, I went off to Westfield shopping mall to meet up with J's cousins and siblings.. it was -PACKED-..as in.. -cantmoveorevengointoashoptobuyabottleofwaterPACKED-. I tried to get myself a post workout snack at Boots but after seeing the queue (yes Chelsie, it's a word) in Boots I abandoned my basket. I can always get Salt and Vinegar spirals another time.. even if they are only 73 calories per packet.. hmm. Anyway, too late now. Later on when I tried to go back to get a drink while I waited for dinner time, EVERYTHING was sold out. I was completely put off shopping, and, let's face it, I didn't actually -need- anything, so we went for dinner early.
Dinner was a halaal steakhouse that is fairly new.. the same place I went to a couple of months ago with J where he managed to scoff down 900 g of meat (sorry if you're freaking out again Chels).. anyway I was wavering between the 200 g and 300 g.. decided on a 200g fillet with scallops, asparagus and a side salad. And was pleasantly full. Just as well, because when I got home and logged it on my livestrong profile I found out that an extra 100g of fillet - which would have been too much and was essentially a case of greed - would have cost me almost 200 calories (191 to be exact) extra. Not worth it! I guess seeing as I had worked out so much it wouldn't have been a disaster at all, but as the long term goal is learning moderation, I'm glad I managed to reign myself in. :)
Today I had a fairly relaxed day, went grocery shopping and then popped in to the in laws to wish them a happy 30th anniversary. Having got home I had a quick snack of a wholewheat English muffin with Weightwatchers baked beans (surprisingly tasty, don't knock it till you've tried it.. Amanullah had a bite of mine and loved it...and we all know how anti low-fat he is)..and then headed off to the gym. Only managed a 9K today but did some incline brisk walking too and gentle incline jogging to try and mix it up :)
Dinner was a lovely grilled chilli salmon with some butternut squash and cous cous..and then to treat myself I had some custard.. mmmm just what you need for a cold winter night :) I am so looking forward to seeing my little babies verrrry soon.. poor Ally has a long long list of treats to get me (lined paper, files.. my right boot) and I don't envy her. I'm still contemplating whether or not I should haul a** and get to the gym before the flight gets in around 10:30 or a lovely lie-in.. hmmm.
All in all, a good day food and exercise wise.. only downfall was probably sleeping in too late till 11.. need to get a routine sorted especially seeing as I have to start studying for exams soon.
And because I know y'all love Usher's OMG, maybe google/Youtube Homer Simpson's christmas song.. it's being linked to OMG with speculation that well, perhaps Usher stole the idea from the Simpsons.. I've just heard it on J's laptop and it does sound kinda dodgy....Uhoh.
More tomorrow.
