Fitness Journal – Day 49 of 90 (Tried a Dirty Horchata!)

It’s day 49 of 90 of this 90 day journal journey! Today has been a rather chill Sunday, and I’m feeling super full and bloated right now. 

Morning

I slept in a bit this morning and got all of today’s videos in before heading out to grocery shop and picking up lunch. Coffee was good today, but I somehow couldn’t fully wake up. 

Today’s Workouts

It’s abs day today, and the videos made me sweat right away today! They were – 

  • Fat Burning Cardio + Core – this ~6 mins or so video really made me sweat, setting the tone to the other 2 videos today. 
  • 21 Minute Cardio Abs Workout – this one uses some weights and it’s one of those where you do a set of moves and repeat it 3 times. There were series of squats, lunges, scissors, and such. 
  • 21 Minute Ab Tone Workout – this was another weights workout where you do a set of moves and repeat it 3 times. I got rather tired during the last round and did much fewer reps to finish. There were quite a bit of sensitive tail bone area moves here. 

Boba Day!

I received a coupon for buy one get one 50% off build-your-own bowls and wraps / entrees in general from a Mediterranean place and there were a couple boba places nearby. The one I wanted to try opened later and somehow didn’t let me place an online order successfully, so I ordered from Boba Guys and tried their espresso milk tea and some dirty horchata with pearls. It seems every drink I’ve tried from Boba Guys are a bit watered down or the thing I wanted to taste wasn’t so evident in the drink. 

Lunch

The father-in-law joined us for lunch today, so I placed a takeout order from that Mediterranean place. 4 adult meals and 2 kids meals. Buy one get one 50% off of adult entrees would net one free entree because if each adult gets an entree, then 2 of them would be 50% off… but someone decided not to get an entree and wanted all sides. Ugh, it shouldn’t be that complicated! The food was good though, except they put falafel instead of steak in one of our wraps. Weird… 

Grocery Shopping and Exploration

A Trader Joe’s was nearby the takeout place and boba, so we did some shopping there. The layout was quite different from the TJ’s we usually frequent, but the stock was around the same. I’m a bit bummed out that I couldn’t find certain items I wanted to try. It seems TJ’s got rid of those seaweed packets that the kids sometimes have with their eggs for breakfast. Bummer there. I saw there was a small bakery right by TJ’s, and ordered 6 macarons – creme brûlée, champagne, green tea, lavender earl gray, black sesame, and mango. Most of them tasted good. 

Afternoon

Took a walk, took a shower, and played hours of Homescapes. 

Dinner

Dinner was mostly leftover yellow split pea soup with bacon. We had the rest of the macarons afterwards. We also watched the Spies in Disguise movie. The daughter didn’t seem interested at first, but then she laughed more than all of us, so I’m guessing she really enjoyed it eventually. I also watched the South Park vaccination special… kept seeing commercials for it, and finally saw it. 

Today’s Overview

I was disappointed that the San Ramon boba guys only had boba pearls as toppings. It was the only topping available to select on the online ordering. I really like various jellies in my milk tea drinks so I’m really missing that this week. Ugh, I feel extremely full right now. Really overate today and most of this whole week, but it wasn’t a full family sized bag of chips, so it’s not all bad. 🙂 Overall a chill day, but I’m not ready to face tomorrow just yet.

Weekly Overview

Holy moly… it’s already the end of week 7 and we start week 8 tomorrow! WOW WOW WOW. It’s funny how some of these quotes in the journal and online are supposed to be very motivational, but the more I see them, the less motivational they seem to be… they just appear as just words to me after a few. I still appreciate when people post these various quotes though. A lot was consumed this week as I hit over 2000 Calories most days this week, but it wasn’t mostly all junk foo, so that’s a win right there.
