While eating healthy is daunting task, one cannot completely forsake the more sugary/starchy/fried temptations that taunt one's day dreams when hungry. So what I like to do is save one indulgence per week to the weekend. Last week it was fries, this week it was ice cream. So on Friday evening I treated myself to B&J's Chocolate Therapy, and I had a blackforrest cornetto last night. Ok, so I cheated and had ice cream twice, but hey I totally burned it off by dancing for 3 hours!
Dinner last night was at Sofra, a Turkish restaurant. I had the chicken kebab which came with a small side of broken wheat and chickpeas and lots of salad- not too bad. I would have liked a slice of lime for the kebabs though.
Going to Clarke Quay to celebrate a friend's turning 21 is beneficial in that you get to spend time with friends and listen to a good live band and dance about to some good hip-hop for the cost of a glass of house wine ($10 - the same as going for a movie) and dancing is highly aerobic exercise in my opinion. Not to mention I had done 30 minutes of brisk walking on the treadmill before that.
The only trouble is that you end up collapsing into bed at 4am and waking up the next afternoon at 1:30 with aching muscles and piles of work to finish for the next day. This slight upsetting of the body clock works counter to the rest of the week's healthy habits. Therefore, it should be practiced in moderation, and not too often. I'm becoming quite a stickler for routine...
