Crackling pork skin and pork, chicken feet and fatty Asian food
On Saturday I made it to the gym for an hour and a half of upper body circuit training and an hour of yoga. It was my first yoga class all week. It felt so good to stretch out my muscles. I ate well and did not eat after 8pm.
Sunday was my off day but with it being Mother’s day I knew we would have a lot of food. We did not want to go to a restaurant and wait to get in for dinner; so we decided to grab food and bring it home. My mom’s wish for dinner, crackling pork and pork skin, Chinese style chicken feet, intestines, tongue and pig’s ear. Ok, only thing I was eating from that menu is the pork. We went to Rodney’s mom’s house to give her her flowers. We didn’t stay long but long enough to have some African tea, my favorite. We then picked up my mom’s food then we picked up normal Chinese fast food for the rest of us. By the time we got home I was hungry but did not overindulge on the fatty food. I did have orange chicken, chow mein, BBQ pork, fried rice and eggroll, but my portions were small. I told Rodney that in the past I can eat up to 4x what I’m eating now. I just was not that hungry.
I did eat the same food at midnight because I had a long day and I just cave in to it. But I ate a little bit of everything. The upside - I knew I would be up in 5 hours for my 5am workout.
This morning I spent about an hour and a half of upper body strength training with spurts of cardio mixed in. I changed it up a notch because I notice I was not that sore from my Saturday workout. Then I got on the Elliptical for about 25 minutes and spent another 10 minutes doing Yoga. I have a lot of energy today and I need it. I’m trying my best to cut out coffee and the morning routine is certainly helping. I plan on going back to night for kickboxing if I could but definetely for Yoga.
