Pratana’s Neighborhood

yay, i made it to gold's. hahah, only because i had the day off, and all the guys at gold's knew it too.

6:30 - ran/walked for 45 minutes on the treadmill. then worked on triceps for another 25 minutes.  let's hope sean doesn't diss out on running with me before we head to the city.

9:30 - made myself an omelet with 2 eggs and a touch of milk.  i also had a tall 1 pump sugar free vanilla/non-fat caramel machiatto.

11:30 - went to lunch with sean and his coworker.  we ate at thai orchid.  we ordered the pad thai, spicy chicken fried rice, and thai basil chicken.  i only ate the pad thai and fried rice.  i haven't had thai food in a long time, so i was a newbie drinking my water after every sip.  lol

and it'll be short one.  my boss is taking our team to SeaBright for a late lunch.  then i'm heading home.  i was looking at the menu for seabright and aaah, it's going to be hard to eat healthy there.  it's a brewery, so what should i expect right?!  imma try to stay away from the fried food.

since today is literally my friday, i bought donuts for everyone.  hopefully i won't be tempted to eat one, so i'm eating my breakfast now.

7:00 - caramel machiatto(non-fat, sugar-free, etc) and 2 hard boiled eggs

10:30 - munchin of veggies(carrots, celery, tomatoes, and cucumbers)

12:15 - a glazed donut(i know...super bad!)

2:00 - so we got to seabright brewery.  i ordered the carribean chicken sandwich on whole wheat bun.  i ate all of the chicken, and 1/4 of the bun.  i also had a raspberry cider.

5:00 - munched on tamarind

7:00- a very small bowl of pho

6:00 - scrambled egg and a tall soy chai tea latte

9:30 - 1 boiled egg and half a banana

11:30 - did bike intervals for 35 minutes, then worked on back for 20 minutes

1:00 - 1 boiled egg, then about 30 minutes later i had my salad and watermelon

3:00 - a small handful of roasted almonds and cashews

6:00 - some tamarind and cantelope

7:00 - ran with sean for 3.8 miles

8:00 - brown rice turkey spaghetti.  the brown rice spaghetti is so good!  i'm glad i found something i liked!!!!  way better than whole wheat spaghetti.

aah, i hate the fact that i'm flying out tonight.  the next two weeks will definitely not be good for eating more "health conscience", because i will be traveling a lot, and won't have access to the good foods.  when i come back, this is when i will be cleaning out my pantry. :-)

6:30 - banana and an egg white.  i was suppose to eat the whole egg, but i'm was so used to just throwing out the egg yolk, that it comes natural to me now.

10:30 - gluten free cereal

11:30 - did uphill intervals for 30 minutes.  worked on biceps and shoulders, then walked for another 30 minutes

1:15 - kale salad with tomatoes, cranberries, and pomegranate dressing.  watermelon for dessert.

10:30 - i had some tamarind, yogurt and cantelope, and one tbsp of my mom's soup that tran was eating

1:30 - went to an engagement party.  let me sum up what i ate: pad thai, tocino, fried egg rolls(lumpia), flan, basil chicken, and some guava cake.  i think i had like 8 small egg rolls, which is sorta overboard, but they were spread out between 1:30 and 10 pm.  so i didn't totally stuff myself.  NO ALCOHOL TOO....

2:00 - Fuji apple

3:00 - strawberries and some tamarind

6:00 - i did 2 set of 8 SELF strengthening exercises.  then sean and i ran the long route(close to 4 miles).  it was a good workout

8:00 - i made chicken curry with spinach and carrots last night.  the boys had it with rice, while i just wrapped the chicken in a brown rice tortilla.  then i caved and had some of my grandma's dessert.  it was definitely not gluten free(made of sweet rice), and definitely high in sugar.  *SIGH*

6:45 - BANANA and egg white, and half a cup of coffee with non fat milk and some sugar free vanilla

9:30 - my gluten-free cinnamon cereal

8:30 - 1/2 cup of puffins cinnamon cereal(gluten-free) with non-fat milk
