Day 26/27: weekend before uni
SaturdayI, yet again, woke up energetically at 6 in the morning. I tried sleep to savour the last moments that I could actually start mornings late. I eventually got out of bed at 7;30 as I didn't want to waste time. I started the day off great with a bowl of oatmeal; I so then decided to go to one of my yoga classes. It was either a difficult lesson this week OR i've become less balanced and focused. My strength was terrible - I had to continuously take breaks from the burning sensations of holding asanas. My usual teacher will be going to training in Bali for the next few weeks, so i'm thinking of visiting farmer markets during those Saturday mornings then return to my regular yoga schedule after.
Anyways I then had work and later then visited my local vegan grocers. I know right, I have a local vegan grocers - how cool is that? Some things are pricey but it kind of beats ordering them online. I had also once bought expired stevia drops from there, so I need to keep in mind to always check the dates! Today I grabbed three Clif bars and a 4-pack acai smoothie blend. This totaled $13. Worth?
For dinner, I was invited to a buffet dinner with Khiem and his family. I'm so awkward in social situations - it'd be so good if I weren't. I started off my huge feast with a lot of sushi rolls and inari.
Grilled vegetables (heaps of oil!), stir fried vegetables, chips, springrolls and more inari came after. And assorted desserts quickly followed (but I forgot to picture it). Apart from the overly-oiled vegetables, everything else was quite dry... Most likely from the extended time in the heater. The food was alright as it was buffet food and not a high class fine dining experience.
After tonight i'm totally stuffed! And yes, these photos were taken from my snapchat... haha.
Sunday
I wanted to start off my day with a green juice - or any type of juice really - due it being lower calorie and the fact that I ate way too much last night... but I also wanted to be consistent with my breakfasts. And so I had a bowl mocha peanut butter oatmeal. Adding peanut butter really changes the oatmeal experience! The texture is gooey, smooth and overall delicious and I will definitely be adding pb to my oatmeal (as opposed to on top) more often.
Today's agenda includes:
- A grade 7 English teaching plan for one lesson.
- Clean room, i.e. put all clothes away and organize books for uni.
- Tutor my cousin.
- Pack gym bag, uni bag and work bag.
- Work meeting at night
I'm quite sad that my net is capped. I was really hoping to game late over this weekend before uni starts again. SIGH. Oh wells.
Uni tomorrow... i'm not really keen tbh. Sometimes I wish I could just devote my time to blogging and fitness because those things do not require the heavy study hours that university does. SIGH SIGH. Goodbye.
