Day 8 of 50

It's a Sunday!

My second rest day. But I had to go to work to finish a special project.

So, in order to sleep longer (until 11:30), I didn't push thru with my plan to either go to the gym or swim.

I basically went out to lunch, went to work, and had dinner.

These are what I ate:

- Fish soup with beehoon

- About 14 pcs of honey roasted almonds

- 1 pc of Indian style ukoy (Probably just starch and spices. Shown above, on top of the round calves)

- Cafe Cartel fish and chicken meal - grilled dory fillet and grilled chicken with bolognese pasta

- 1 banana

- About 10 pcs of gummi bear

- 1 pack seaweed, about 35 calories

Day 7 of 50

Day 7, Saturday, My favorite day of the week.

I woke up almost 1 PM. Actually, I was already well rested by 12noon, by I sort of forced myself to get some more sleep.

When I got up, I lazed around and ate my breakfast, in preparation for my gym.

I was thinking of swimming instead. But honestly, I don't feel like wearing my swimsuit during broad daylight.

So after I ate my breakfast, I read a few chapters from my new book and allowed the food to be digested. Then, I trudged down to the gym for an hour of cardio and weights - the usual: treadmill, rowing, leg pushes, weight for my arms, and stair master.

What I ate today:

- 2 pcs of wholemeal bread with pork floss

- 1 pc. Del monte banana (imported from the Philippines)

- 5 pcs gummi bear

- 30 pcs of Mondre bread sticks

- 1 bowl of soup, with mostly vegetables (plus 1 egg, 1 rice cake and 1 tofu), which I ordered from Yong Tau Foo, Novena.

- Din Tai Fung for dinner >> 4 pcs xiao long bao, 1 cup fried rice (small), 1 cup noodles with 2 pcs pork ribs, 1 steam layered cake

Family International Buffet

Shown here are the 1st and 3rd plate.

1st plate is where the gluttony took place. I took 1 pc tempura, 1 pc chicken wing, 1 chicken nuggets, 1 nonya crab, 1 chawan mushi, 2 pieces fish fillet with sweet and sour sauce, 1 prawn dumpling, 1 chicken siew mai, 4 pieces steamed shrimp with vermicelli, 1 serving of brocolli leaves and crab with sharks fin soup. Oh, and 2 pcs of fried dory fillet with a wedge of lemon.

2nd plate, I took some shrimp salad, apple salad, 2 pcs abalone, 1 small piece of Mexican grilled fish, 1 pc sushi, 3 steamed prawns,1 black pepper crab, 1 very small piece chicken curry and 1 small piece fish head curry.

3rd plate, I took 2 slices of watermelon, 1 mango pudding, shrimp salad and Guava. Plus a super bitter herbal jelly with honey (supposedly good for the skin).

I drank 1 cup green tea and 1 cup blackcurrant tea.

Day 5 and 6 of 50

Day 5 and 6, so fast...

On Day 5, I ate:
- 1 pack frooties shortcake biscuit
- 1 glass milk
- Chinese Mixed Rice for lunch (Like our turo-turo, you just have to point what dish you like. I chose 3 - Steamed fish, greens and okra. SGD4)
- 3 slices wholemeal bread with pork floss
- 1 small cup peach yogurt (after workout)
- 1 slice wholemeal bread
- 1 small pack preserved mangoes (the pickled type)

I half jogged and half ran the stretch from Chiltern Park (my condo), to like, a cross away from Aljunied, an entirely different community. Then I bought some products for household use (toilet duck, anti-bacterial liquid, etc). I walked all the way back to the condo, lugging around the heavy grocery items.

Day 6.

I ate:
-1 pack Blue Skies plain crackers
-Yong tou fu and rice. I chose mostly vegetables for my soup.
- 20 pieces of honey roasted Growers peanuts
- Buffet at ' Family International Buffet', in Ngee Ann City. (My colleague treated me, so how could I resist) .
-From the buffet dishes, I chose mostly seafood, and non-fried items. Well, except for the fried crab and chicken nuggets. Then, for drinks, I drank tea instead of cool and sweet drinks. To top it all off, I did not eat ice cream nor their tiny cakes. Instead, I feasted on Guava with plum powder. (Yum, I never appreciated Guava this much, and I'm not being fake here. Guava will taste so much better with plum powder).

I got home past 11pm already, so it was too late to do any workout. So, I decided to do a crazy thing. I went out of the condo vicinity and walked. Nobody was in sight, it was quite scary because, as the Singapore Government warns: 'Low crime does not mean no crime '.

I was turning around once in a while to check if anyone was following me.

Day 4 of 50 (additional)

I'm still soooo hungry, so I'm eating a slice of wholemeal bread again.

Day 4 of 50

Surprisingly, it was a very light day at work. I was bored actually, which is a rare occurence considering my line of work (customer service), where I'm always up and about.

So, I was able to leave the office early. By 630PM, I was already out and on my way to the MRT.
_

I got home around 730PM, ironed a few pieces of pants and changed for my workout today - swimming!

So, I stayed about an hour in the pool. This time, I didn't just float around, I really swam. Swam so hard until my arms couldn't paddle anymore.

Today, I ate:

4 pcs of wholemeal bread with potted meat (1 for breakfast and 3 for dinner at 6PM)
1 glass of milk
1 fish soup
1 order of rice (slightly bigger than the normal serving)
3 gummi bears
1 pc of wholemeal with pork floss (after swimming)
1 ponkan

This is getting more interesting, I just hope I can keep it up.

Day 3 of 50

Day 3.

I had Yong Tou Fu for lunch. It's not a brand, but more of a stall name which describes what they are selling. Almost all food hall or hawker centres would have them.

Basically, you get to choose 7 items (from an array of ingredients that are mostly vegetables and does not contain pork or lard). The price would likely be 4-4.30, regardless of what you choose. Then, you have to decide whether you want it in soup, with noodles ( sgd 0.50), with rice (same) or with noodles but with gravy (their sauce) instead.

I chose mostly vegetables and some fish balls to taste. All in all, it was a delightful and refreshing meal. But a couples hours after, I was already famished. Sigh.

These are what I are today:

1 pack of Blue Skies crackers for breakfast

1 glass of Nesvita milk

1 bowl of yong tou fu with rice

1 pc shrimp dumpling

2 slices of wholemeal bread with potted meat

1- 500 ml diet lassi ( it claims to have 30kcal only)

1 ponkan

1 slice of bread with pork floss (not yet eaten, but I will, after I post this)
