Today

WARNING!!! Boring and dull blog post coming up.

But then again, not everyone's everyday lives are all that interesting. If it were, interesting would not be so anymore.

So today is day 2 of my 30 day crunch, plank, squat n push-up challenge. You know, those 30 day challenge type sheets you get on Pinterest. Well guess where I got it from (haha Captain Obvious). Let me tell you, it's not that bad (though i feel absolutely pooped now, lying in my bed).

Yesterday felt fine, except for my legs. I do not really like squats, and day 1 had 50 of them. So when I went for my run in the evening (to Tesco), I felt very errr... detached from my legs.

Today, saw 55 squats. I could squat as deep as much without looking in the mirror (what is this sentence??!!). But we bought chicken legs and had roast chicken with mash for lunch, so that was nice.

The chicken made me feel very sleepy though. I should try having a few more vegan/vegetarian meals this week. I do find that it makes me feel less sleepy while studying. Though it does cause me to get the munchies slightly quicker.

So here is to the future meat-free meals, abundance of veggies and surviving tomorrow (read: squats). Sorry for the bland lengthy post. Ciao.

Much love,

Failure (saia tak kuad)

By dinner time we got so hungry. We had been in Italy the whole week before, stuffing our faces for 8 days.

So it makes sense, the reason why we were so hungry.

From stuffing our faces, to strictly rationed portions of simple, but rather bland food.

All in all, it was a good lesson, or a few. I learnt about hunger (although not true hunger, and it is still very different from fasting). I also learnt how to make really good chicken bone stock, practically for free ( from chicken carcass that was free from the halal butchers, and vegetable scraps)

So, I hope to try again next time.

Much love,

Living Below The Line: Day 1

Quite a sad looking picture.

All the more to make you realise how hunger is hurting so many out there. Here is to the next 5 days.

Much love,
