WEEK 2 - Woke up late forgot to weigh myself

I'm a little embarrassed because I woke up at 7:25 and I have to be out of my house at 7:38... leaving me only 13 minutes to eat breakfast, get dressed and grab my stuff... oh and take out the garbage. I'm horrible in the mornings. In short... I didn't weigh myself. I did eat breakfast though which I wouldn't normally do if I were running late. Luckily, I had set everything out the night before so I ate instant oatmeal, 5 strawberries and a glass of soy milk.

To be honest, even if I had weighed myself, I don't think I would have been happy with the results. I slipped up this weekend. Saturday, my friends threw a nabe party and I ate (and drank) WAY too much. Nabe is a wonderful, wonderful thing. The Japanese word nabe means "pot" so basically, it was a hot pot. In theory, nabe is not bad for you. There are tons of vegetables green leafy vegetables (mostly Chinese cabbage) and shiitake mushrooms. There is also very little oil because the vegetables are boiled in a giant clay pot over a flame. The broth is usually just fishstock or seaweed stock. However, when you add fatty pork/chicken and mystery meatballs, that's where the problems start. Add 4-5 glasses of wine, cheesecake and chocolate cream puffs for dessert and you have me falling off the wagon... literally... with a very loud thump.
I was quite productive on Sunday though. I felt like I needed to make up for the bad behaviour so instead of lazing around the way I usually do on Sunday, I woke up at 9:00, ate breakfast, swept the floor, washed the dishes and the bathroom sink. Had 8 pieces of nigiri sushi for lunch and then went for a walk to the grocery store and the 100-en store. Dinner was mabodofu, brown rice, miso soup and stir-fried vegetables courtesy of my personal chef. And I promise that I will work off this weekend's foibles at the gym this week.

This weekend I started on the BBC Big Challenge. I got my first list of challenges on Saturday and I've basically completed them all. All they asked from me was to try and eliminate fatty /sugary foods from my diet (started doing that 2 weeks ago) and to walk 20 minutes for 5 days a week (which I already do). I think I may have underestimated the exercise that I already do...
Oh well. I guess I'll just follow it and see where it takes me. It can't hurt, that's for sure.
