Back in the USA!

My time in Malaysia (and Singapore) revolved a lot around food and drink, as expected.

I didn't visit Restoran BRJ for its orgasmic nasi lemak this time around, so it will be a MUST do on my next trip. I did have a few other sub-par nasi lemaks from various kopitiams and restaurants: good enough to satisfy the craving but nothing that knocked my socks off.

Had plenty of kaya, teh tarik, various types of roti, fried noodles and Coffee Bean drinks...

Got some exercise while hopping along on crutches for a weekend... and I extruded rivers of sweat just by virtue (?) of being physically present in the heat and humidity that is Malaysia, so perhaps that counts as some sort of detox? Haaha.

Started to feel rather bloated and unhealthy after a while, though, which underscored the importance of getting right back on the raw/lightly processed foods wagon once I got back home.

That time is now.

Of course, last night's 'meal' of gas station crappucinno and half a bag of potato chips doesn't count. Shhhh!!

Today, so far so good: my morning started out with a large mug og Ho Yan Hor chinese herbal tea with a teaspoon of honey at 430am (couldn't sleep, gave up trying!), followed later by an apple (~8am), and then finishing off the wasabi almonds (~9am). Gotta make sure I get plenty of water.

For exercise, I will be cleaning the apartment (the cat's been a bad bad kitty!) and doing the laundry. Will start hitting the YMCA/gym again next week.

April 14th: body says no!

My Resolutions for April are two-fold: weekday daily exercise, and raw/barely-processed food consumption. Here's how I fared on Wednesday, April 14th:

Exercise
No Nia in the morning, class canceled :(
I couldn't sleep the night before, nor could I sleep during the day, I was so wasted I didn't feel up for any evening exercise. So today was a total day off. My body demanded it!

Food
Early morning snack: Ho Yan Hor chinese herbal tea with a spoon of honey
Morning snack: an apple
Breakfast: oatmeal with milk and two spoonfuls of honey, and a serving of craisins (weird combination - not doing that again!)
Dinner: a steak burrito with almost the complete works, from Chipotle (I *so* needed a treat!)

Finally passed out and got my rest. I'm going to blame delayed effects of having done a lot of exercise within a small period of time on Tuesday/Wednesday! I'll be sure to pace myself better next time.
