What's For Breakfast?

It was raining hard outside and so I prepared something easy and filling. I was a little disappointed that my designated long run this morning was hampered by Typhoon Santi. Worst of all, electricity was cut off for a good 5 hours at least. Sigh! Anyway, here's to share a picture of my pretty breakfast...

And since I am still nursing a cold, I munched on some fruit candies too...

I Made A Quick and Easy Dinner

Making a decent meal when you just got out of bed feeling a little dizzy still is no easy feat. But I think I should. I have a very long night at work tonight and I needed some fuel to get me going. Else I will all be stressed out and relapse into the sick bed again. I checked out the pantry and all I saw were energy bars and pasta and granola bars, oatmeal and stuff. I looked at the back part of the pantry and there were few boxes of couscous standing proud as if begging for some attention. LOL! It got me all confused as to what I should choose so I enlisted the help of my dear little purple bear. And so I chose the Couscous Wild Forest Mushroom Flavor.

The couscous was cooked by boiling two cups of water with two tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Once mixed, removed from heat and covered, allow the couscous to soak in all the flavors (about five minutes) and then fluff with a fork and serve. I did not fluff it anymore. Instead I filled in a small ceramic bowl and put it in a big plate.

I then opened a can of lite tuna and a can of pineapple and now it all looked so inviting and it seems all of a sudden I got my appetite back. I just drained the water from the tuna can and then pour all the contents around the couscous. I did the same with the pineapple slices. It was really quick and easy.


What do you whip up when you don't seem to like any food and you don't have any craving for anything?

VERDICT: Guilty

OMG! I gave in to...FASTFOOD!

I had been sick for three days with colds and I kept on running after my nose (if you know what I mean). Yesterday was the worst part because I felt dizzy and it felt like I have muscle pains all over. I have been without exercise for three days already (including today) and I miss seeing sweat buds run over my cheek, my shoulders, my arms, all over. I miss seeing my sweat-soaked gym garb.

I did not have any appetite for anything these past few days that all I could eat were banana, apple slices and some Gatorade and of course water. I did not even have a bite of the food they served when I attended a fashion collection launch. Poor little me! And I could not whip up a decent meal for my dear life. First, I am too lazy to get up, get washed up and go to the grocery to pick up some essentials. And so I grabbed my phone, dialed 87000 and asked that they deliver 2-pc burger steak, pineapple juice and palabok fiesta and oh some fries. Arrrrgh! I did not take pictures. I am too guilty to be doing it. It was yummy though...

Anyhow, yesterday was without exercise but with healthy food intake. I was in bed practically most of the time. I had to give in to my body's calling. I think I have been abusing it since I started the running regimen. And Monday saw the abuse too. I ran three miles on the treadmill and then rested for a bit and then headed to the swimming pool and completed a total of 350meters. For a non-swimmer, that was I think a feat armed with only a bottle of pink lemonade.

Later today, I will be turning in my registration form for the Timex Run. As soon as I hand over that letter, I think this is it. THIS.IS.IT! No turning back anymore...
