Day 84/85/86
MONThree and a half months left until 2016... Say whaaaat.
Workout
1 set every 90 seconds
8x4 37.5kg back squats
WOD 16 minutes (i.e. 4 rounds)
400m run every 4 minutes
In the remaining time, AMRAP:
1) 8 burpees over bar
2) 5 25kg front squats
Rounds: 3 (maybe 4.. I lost count but I told my coach 3, so i'm going to record 3)
When my coach asked me if I was coming in tomorrow and I replied "eh maybe, i'll see if I can get out of bed" - THAT WAS WHEN I REALISED THAT I HAVE THE WORST ATTITUDE. However, internally, I do want to come in tomorrow and I feel like my body can. I think I say these negative things due to badly formed habits and i'm just more comfortable responding to routine. I want a better attitude. I will have a better attitude.

Dinner was with Sarah and Khiem at one of the Loving Hut franchises and they provided as very pleasant mock meat experience. We may have also ordered a bit too much for our stomachs to handle so we had to get some of the food taken away. Which is all cool because i'm going to try to trick my brother into eating the salt and pepper "squid" hehehehe.
Appetizers: 'Prawn' dumplings ($8), samosas ($6) and curry puffs ($6).
Salt and pepper squid. I quite liked this one! It wasn't too salty (though I did know that they included a lot of salts in it as I totally bloated and retained water the day after). The texture of the 'squid' was pretty darn close to the real thing - it's just a little less chewy, which made it 10x better in my opinion. ($10)
"Queen Rice". I have no idea what's included in this but from what I taste, I think it was a fried rice with bbq "pork" and corn. ($16).
Soy chicken. This tasted just like chicken - it was a bit freaky. However I enjoyed how the texture was a bit more gamey than actual chicken - it reassured me that I wasn't consuming meat LOL. ($10).
Satay tofu!! Most probably my favourite dish. The flavours were perf and I would definitely be getting this again when I come back! ($10).
We also bought an avocado shake (bad idea as it filled me up real quick) ($6), a basil seed drink ($4) and coconut jelly ($3) for dessert.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
