Fitness Journal – Day 69 of 90 (Very Chill Saturday!)

Wow, it’s almost the end of week 10. It’s day 69 of 90 of this 90 day journal journey, and I’m just so amazed by how quickly time is passing by. Today was rather chill. Typical morning, and then spending the rest of the day at my parents’ place.

Morning

I brewed some coffee and had some of that, and made myself an omelette with cheddar cheese for breakfast. The hot cross buns from last week were pretty good so I made my own hot cross buns this morning and brought then to my parents to enjoy during tea time.

Today’s Workouts

Saturday is our stretch/relax day! Today’s videos were –

  • Yoga for Splits – it seems we get this video each month. Pretty good yoga workout.
  • Stretch Combo to Relieve Low Back Pain – more like headache inducing and more lower back pain workout for me. There’s boat pose and teaser here, which strains the lower back. Not sure how this relieves the pain as it involves quite a bit of core strength. There’s also that rabbit pose where you put your head on the mat, and somehow that move just irritated me. I got up in such a bitch mood from that pose and got a headache and felt nauseous for a while after that.

Meals at the Parents’ House

We had some porridge with various meats and meatballs for lunch along with some chow mein and shrimp. Dinner consisted of some peking duck, pork belly, veggies, and various fried seafoods. So good!

Chilling

Super chill day today. My parents have cable, so I was able to watch the latest episode of the latest Top Chef season. It’s sooooo good!! I absolutely love how previous contestants are part of the judging panel on a rotation basis, and all the contestants seem so amazing. 

Wine!

I didn’t drink last week because of the covid vaccine. The first thing my dad offered me today was some beer so I had some of that during lunch. Dinner consisted of some red wine. So good!! 13 days sober… what a record this year!

Today’s Overview

It’s another typical Saturday, I’m really enjoying this year Top Chef season, and I’ll continue to watch when I’m at my parents’ place each week since they have cable TV. My expensive purchase of the year arrived today, so I’ll make sure I take some pictures and write about that eventually. Solid Saturday, extremely chill.
