Day 4: The Yoyo

Day 4: 74.5kg

So yesterday started off a bit of a mess, really. I woke up to my phone ringing at around 11:08am, the number not being one I recognised. So I tried to sound really awake: 'Hello, Jeffrey speaking.' 'Hi Jeffrey, this is Dean' 'Oh f#%k.' I had totally forgotten about a coaching with him at University, starting at 11! He was very nice about it and let me off the hook which I'm very grateful for.

Since I got up so late, I decided to make my breakfast my lunch also. Half a cup of oats to make porridge, lite milk, some raisins, cinnamon and a little brown sugar. Once cooked I also added some of our homemade muesli to add some texture and flavour. It was really good!

I only had an afternoon lecture to attend, so taking Josh's advice, I walked the half hour walk to Uni, and after the lecture, met up with my friend Andrew to walk back home again. Andrew and I had been on a running program 'Couch to 5k' before we left for the international tour, so we wanted to resume it.

When we got home, feeling very hungry, we had some muesli with yoghurt (A had milk instead), and half an apple each. Then there was the run. We were only up to week 2:
5 min warm up walk
90 second run (x6)
2 mins walking in between the runs (x5)
5 min cooldown walk
It was so good to get back into some exercise after doing nothing for almost a whole month. The endorphins really kicked in and I was feeling fantastic. We did however get caught in like major torrential rain for a while so needed to take a shower to prevent from getting even sicker!

For dinner, we went out to Mexicali, a mexican restaurant, if you hadn't already guessed. I had nachos with beef mince, black beans (protein!), a little cheese, salad, salsa, guacamole and sour cream... It was generally quite a healthy meal, but there are a couple of things on that list I could've done without!

That night, after choir rehearsal, I went to my friend Amitai's 21st drinks, now I was content with my glass of wine to start, but as the night progressed and the Samoan (drunken) generosity overflowed, I got pretty plowed on Baileys and Vodka. Towards the end of the night, in my drunken state, I was shouted a Burger... It was from a burger stand, not the fast food outlets, so at least the ingredients were a lot fresher. Chicken breast (not processed), shoulder bacon (I think...), aioli, tomato and lettuce. I feel quite guilty, but its a tradition right? Night out = BK? At least it wasn't BK!
