Day 4 Meal 3: Dinner at Buca de Beppo

Happy birthday to my girl Alyne!!!

We ate at Buca de Beppo.  Today was seriously not my day for food T__T.

But!  I exerted control here!  Check out the food porn!

 

Dinner:  Appetizer bread.  As if we need more carbs.  Served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Ate a piece of this.  Let's say ~50 kcal.

Calories:  ~50 kcal

Oh Garlic Bread.  My weakness.  Thank goodness you weren't bruschetta!  I love garlic.  This was delicious... although a bit oily?

Did you use excessive butter?  Or olive oil on this?

Food:  1 piece (yes!) of garlic bread (~100 kcal)

Calories so far:  ~150 kcal

Linguini Frutti de Mare.  Can we say yum?  Always order this whenever I'm with a group!

The best part is that there is no cheese in it!  *can't eat cheese*  <--- that actually saves me from excess calories at times because I can't physically eat it!

Food:  Linguini fruitti de mare (definitely less than 1/6 of a large size).  We got a small size and I ate 1/6 of that?  So maybe... ~200 kcal?

Calories so far:  ~350 kcal

After we got a free brownie cake with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream on top for the birthday girl!  Here she is with it =D

I ate a little piece of it?  We were all so full that we didn't even finish the little thing.

Food:  Brownie slice with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream... 3-4 small bites... guessing ~ 50 kcal?

Calories total for dinner:  ~400 kcal!!!




Today is not my day for calories.  T__T  Luckily I didn't eat the caesar salad (covered in dressing and cheese)... or this all cheese dish.  (but it looked delicious).

Tomorrow I will do my best!  Cardio abs!  Yeah!

Day 4 Meal 2: Jolly Bee!

Today was such a busy day!

After working out and showering quickly, I put on some clothes and headed to the movies!

(Machete is seriously my favorite movie this year!  Love Robert Rodriguez! <3 <3 <3)

Before the movie, I stopped by the local Jollibee (Filipino chain equivalent to McDonalds) and picked up a 2-piece fried chicken and 1/2 cup steamed rice.  T__T  I attempted to get Arroz Caldo from Chow King... but sold out!  *sadness*

Lunch:  Jollibee 2 piece fried chicken and steamed rice.

Food:  1 1/2 piece fried chicken (~400? kcal *dies*), 1/2 cup steamed rice (100 kcal)

Calories:  ~500 calories!!!

*dies*  I wish I had dandan noodles instead or my arroz caldo... but no time today!  *guilty*

*sigh*  gotta work out harder tomorrow!

Day 4: Running + Cardio Recovery

Quick blog before I head out!

Before working out, I ran on the treadmill to warm-up.  I don't really think the warm-ups during the work-outs are total warm-ups... it takes my body a while to start up... so I like to jog before starting.

"I'm like a ferrari" -- The Situation


Treadmill times =)
Distance:  1.05 miles
Minimum running speed:  5.5 mph (11 min mile)
Maximum running speed:  8.5 mph (7:03 min mile)
Total time:  10 min

Stretching commenced afterwards for about 5-10 min.

Didn't have much time to run since I had to still drive home, do Cardio Recovery, shower, then be at a movie (Machete is the most awesome-est movie this year!) by 3:40p.


Cardio Recovery!!!

The easiest workout so far.  I was worried because it said something like "this isn't the recovery you think it is"... which it's not.  You perform some stretching for your lower body and do some slow exercises with some static balance poses (similar to yoga).

Again... you don't really stretch out your upper body much - except for shoulders/chest with "downward facing dog" and "child's pose."

I always do additional stretching for at least 10 minutes after the DVDs are finished because of this.

Even if you're really tired, this workout is easier compared to the rest so far.

It's "recovery" so... a light work-out day.
