A good start then PARTY!

Saturday worked out fine for me but as every weekend goes, I don't get my breakfast because I sleep late on Friday nights and wake up late Saturday morning. 


It's a bad habit I must correct. 


PROMISE NEXT SATURDAY I'LL WAKE UP EARLY TO EAT BREAKFAST!


So, my first meal was lunch and mama prepared our ever so famous TAPA with egg and just plain rice. 


LUNCH:
1/2 cup of rice
1 egg (sunny side up)
3 slices of Tapa
1 pack of Poker


Actually, that poker pack was a secret (since mama will be reading this and you now know, ma, that I ate one of the kids' snacks sorry. I've already opened one when Gino told me that we can't touch/eat it). 


My exercise for the day was supposed to be at the gym in Makati yet I remembered that I left my gym bag in the office and who would want to go to the office on a day that you aren't required to. I opted to swim at the village pool and walk to and from there for my warm-up and cool down. 


EXERCISE
WalkingThe distance from my house to the pool and back is roughly less than 1km but you have to give credit to the uphill and downhill roads of Filinvest 2. IT'S HARD climbing up the steep Cyril St. 


Swimming
12 laps. Just 12 laps but it took me an hour to finish those 12 because of my bad lungs and unconditioned body. Also, the binatilyos are annoyingly noisy and rowdy the Lola in me can't stand it. The Lola in me is growing strong everyday, I'm afraid.




After all that successful attempt to exercise and not binge eat...I met up with Jhing at Makati. It is Jhing's mom's birthday and I thought that there's just dinner and I expected myself to be disciplined in my intake.


When we arrived, we were already very very hungry and we found out that it's a party, pinoy-style. Pinoy style meaning, lots of food, lots of drinking and the pinoy favorite -- KARAOKE/VIDEOKE. 


DINNER

(not my photo) Kilawing Bangus. magutom ka, takaw-mata. 

1/4 cup of rice 
1/2 serving of Dinuguan
1/4 plate of pansit bihon
5 pieces of Dynamite 

(not my photo) Dinuguan. The one served last night was swimming in oil. 

(Dynamite is a dish that consists of Siling Tagalog, rolled in lumpia wrapper. Optional: giniling or a slice of cheese inside the siling tagalog. I'll take a photo once ours are cooked. Too busy eating it last night I forgot to take out my camera)


5 pieces of lumpiang shanghai
a serving of Kilawing Bangus
a slice of White Forest cake from Red Ribbon


it gets worse...


His dad arrived and more beers were passed around. I HAD 3 bottles of San Mig Light and had INIHAW NA (INSERT FISH HERE)  and KILAWING BANGUS for pulutan. Jhing was telling me to let myself go because it's a party and a saturday therefore cheating was allowed. I can't stop the kilawin but I feel so heavy after those beer. Remember, I promised myself to stick to hard drinks this year or better yet...JUST WINE. haaay, how can you resist good food at a party especially when it's his parents are offering? 


Note to self: develop self-discipline first before allowing yourself 2 cheat days in a weak. ;) 








Savoring my sore muscles from yesterday's exercise routine,


Au revoir.
