Of core strength and random bicep curls

Almost through 5 weeks. Pilates yesterday had us all lying on our backs and pushing our kidneys to the floor. Gosh its harder than it sounds to flatten out the arch of your back. It uses all sorts of muscles you never knew you even had...anyway, my abs are all slightly harder and I like this feeling of soreness from newly flexed muscle, not just in my torso but also my legs.

Last evening I got home early and went grocery shopping. On the walk back home I used the shopping bags as weights and did a bunch of bicep curls as I walked. My arms are feeling tighter now! Its what I call integrating exercise into daily life at the expense of looking like a crazy person on the road...

Aerobics class in half an hour! Yay! I enjoy jumping about to the music and flailing limbs all over the place. Sorry if you stand next to me in class and get knocked out...will be jumping around like mad since dinner today is going to include homemade biryani and a carrot walnut cake from Cedele. Its my uncle's birthday and his fav type of cake is carrot. Walnuts are full of good cholestrol, considered "brain food" too. Cedele has all sorts of yummy foods, all without trans fats, no refined sugar, eggless cakes on request and all organic foods. A bit on the expensive side, but if you're one of those yuppies with cash and no time to cook I guess its a good place to eat healthy.

Today I discovered a nice vegetarian stall at the Food Junction in Bugis. $5 for brown rice, 3 veg dishes, soup and small salad serving. The mock meat was quite nice and the soup was quite like rasam. It was a big plate of food but surprisingly not filling. A bit pricey for a food court but hey, with the inflation one ends up paying that much for a subway sandwich too, and anything cheaper is too oily for words...I forsee I shall be going back there again for more lunches.

I have a big case study on Texas Instruments due tmr at 3:30...am lazy to start typing the answers out ... haha better get back to it then!!
