Day 5 - RevAbs

This weekend was quite a crazy weekend that I ended up missing both workouts (I made up one today, but am still a day behind). Our baby caught a cold so was pretty cranky most of the weekend. Poor little guy still has a cough today. His congestion was pretty bad and I had tried to use the aspirator a few times, but must have irritated his little nose because it was a bit bloody. Anyways, I spent much of the weekend trying to comfort him.

We also had guests on Saturday and they ended up staying until 1:30 am and on Sunday, Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year, we met with our friends for some dim sum in the morning. (I didn't eat any of the fried ones and ate moderately cuz I know how fattening dim sum can be.) Afterwords, we went over to the Far East Center to watch the celebration - lion dances, martial arts demos and fireworks until about 2:30 pm. My family ended up not coming because of the snow. They will be here next weekend probably, as there is a smaller celebration next Saturday for people who missed this weekend's celebration.

When we got home, we were so dead tired from walking around in the cold all day (it was pretty cold), so we ended up taking a long 2 hour nap and then I hung out with Ethan while Smitty was sleeping still. After putting Ethan to bed, I finally made a small, simple meal for both of us for Valentine's Day. We watched part of a movie then went to bed.

Today, I woke up and said I needed to get back on track. So I picked back up with my workout routine.

Day 5 was Fire Up Your Abs. Even with the 2 day break this weekend, I felt great working out and was able to keep up with the whole workout today.

For my meals/snacks today:

I started with a bowl of cereal with soy milk.

Since it was President's Day today, my husband was able to work from home. We went to his cousin's house for their daughter's 4th birthday and had some good Indonesian food.

I had a banana for a snack and some almonds.

Dinner: I made some pan fried catfish on a bed of lettuce with fish sauce (for the dipping sauce). We also had a tiny portion of steamed jasmine rice and asian stirfry noodles.
