Day 58
I wasn't really planning on going to the morning class today as I usually take Wednesdays off from Crossfit. However I woke up with motivation (and also the WOD didn't look too bad...) and headed out to the box at 6AM.Workout

3x 20kg
3x 22.5 kg

I tried 27.5kg but I couldn't push the bar up... One day I will be able to!

I forgot to bring my gloves and I hate having to do hanging bar work without them. My skin feels SO sore, sensitive and rough now :(. My skin is so thin that I can see the blood wanting to burst out and if I had pushed a little more, maybe my skin would have ripped. Oh wells... skin sheds and soon it'll heal!
On today's agenda: I drove Khiem to his Physio appointment where after we headed to Newtown for a HUGE feed at Lentils As Anything.
I couldn't decide which dish to have so between Khiem and I, we ordered three.
Chickpea and couscous salad with a tahini dressing: this was probably my favourite dish today. The tahini dressing mixed in with all the vegetables and couscous was just SO good. I was so intrigued by the taste of couscous that I even pulled out my phone and researched about it's origin, benefits etc HAHA.
Sweet corn and asparagus fritters with an avocado dressing: this was tasteful and warming to the soul. Khiem really liked this one!
Potato curry with roti and salad: curry will always have a place in my heart tbh - especially if it's spicy potato curry, except this one wasn't spicy. Still amazing nonetheless.
And due to Khiem's bad ordering skills, we ended up with two chai teas and two juices. Here's how the miscommication went down:
Waiter: Did you want to order any drinks? Today we have the chai tea and orange, carrot and beet juice.
Khiem: We'll get one of both.
- 5 minutes later -
*Waiter comes by with 4 drinks*
*Khiem and I stare at each other*
/facepalm
.....HAHAHAHAHA. However having twice the chai was definitely fine with me because Lentils definitely has the best chai lattes! The flavour is so perfect every time. Also after the meal, I felt so stuffed. Even now, many hours after, i'm still full! And I feel a little fat... but i'm trying to be okay with it because i've only fueled up on nutritious foods today - so my body will metabolize the nutrients and I will be a-okay soon (hopefully)!
