Where to start! There have been quite a few exciting things that happened today… well, as exciting as it gets here!
Today, yoga happened! It was only a half hour video but I put it on, did the flow and felt so loosey doosey after! Who would’ve thought that doing a quick video of yoga could make you feel so refreshed – It got me so ready to do a real hard workout. I do enjoy a spot of yoga, I loved Hotpod Yoga when I did it back in Bristol, I would 100% recommend for everyone to have a go because it’s so Zen! You end up feeling like Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda! I love it!! As a result, I will definitely be doing yoga everyday now! Yaaay, I’ve found a new thing.
Anyway, while I was doing my yogey yoga sesh, Zac was cooking up a very special gourmet meal as he wanted to make something in particular which he knew I’d love! So, get ready because I don’t think you’re ready to take in the sentence you’re about to read… Zac made the Michelin 5-star Gourmet dish of; BREADED CHICKEN, SMILEY FACES, BAKED BEANS & CHEESE. Oh. My. Gawshhh. I was 7 years old all over again! Potato Smiley Faces were one of my childhood faves and still is one of my favourites. We have only just realised that Walmart stock them!! This made isolation so much better! Then on top of that, oh my love for baked beans is close to a soul-mate status… I used to eat baked beans nearly everyday when I was a small squidling (I was never small, I mean young). As that meal was scrumptious lumptious, Zac gets many points for listening to the foods that I love. Just so yummayyy!
After that delicious childhood lunch memory, Zac got straight onto prepping Dinner… I live with my own live-in chef, it’s wonderful! You should really invest in one if you don’t already have one. Although, he was playing with his new toy (A knife) and nearly cut his finger off as he slipped and started bleeding, to be fair, hes’s done well being that’s the first time he cut himself with all the cooking he’s done (very accident prone). After sorting the finger, he was busy, so I took the dogs out for a quick walk… I left him for 20 minutes… When we got back to the apartment, Zac says “oh good, you’re back” I was thinking oh god, what’s happened now, he never says it’s good when I’m back, he sees my face too much to say such things. He takes me into the kitchen and says “I had a bit of trouble with the wine, it may have exploded” I look around and OMG, there was red wine splattered on every wall, cabinet and the floor. I only had one question; ‘Do we have any wine left!?’ I have my priorities straight. Luckily, the majority of the wine survived, phewww! But it literally looked like Zac cut through a main artery due to the amount of splatterage everywhere. It was okay though, I cleared the crime scene and everything was back to normal. I deserved a treat. So, I thought about how I wanted to praise myself.
While thinking about the infinite possibilities of treats, I did another workout! That yoga sesh obviously got me going! Mayn, this workout was tough, especially since I haven’t really done any conditioning exercises. I got it done and felt so sick but no longer slobby, as I said before, I don’t feel like a fatty anymore after I do a workout! Here’s the sesh of death:
▪️100 Squats ▪️10 Burpees ▪️90 Sit ups ▪️10 Burpees ▪️80 Mountain Climbers ▪️10 Burpees ▪️70 Lunges ▪️10 Burpees ▪️60 Bicycle Crunches ▪️ 10 Burpees ▪️50 Leg raises ▪️10 Burpees ▪️40 Plank to Elbow ▪️10 Burpees ▪️30 crunches ▪️10 Burpees ▪️20 Press ups ▪️10 Burpees ▪️10 Back Extensions
DEATH right?? Well, it felt quite good, I liked it, it’s mainly ab exercises and I love working out abs sooo I’m going to try do it everyday! It could be another ‘running challenge’ situation but I have a good feeling about this one. 2 new things! Yoga and this devil workout everyday! Yay yay yay! I definitely deserved a treat after that… I decided what I wanted: Triple Chocolate Chip Shortbread. This time Zac wasn’t able to stop my chocolate shop so I had all the ingredients to make the glorious shortbread mmm yummay! I have now become a bit of a baker. Tomorrow is Banana Cake! *Dribble*
I prepped the shortbreads and waited for them to bake. While waiting, Zac decided to do the same workout as I did earlier in the day, he completed it but vowed to never eat naughty things again because he feels like he’s over-indulged and wants to treat his body like a temple again. He said “Emily, I have no control, I need you to stop me from eating bad things” I said “I’ll try but usually you don’t listen and there is no way I can stop you” he insisted that he’ll listen to me so I agreed to his request. Half an hour later… Zac is in the kitchen eating MY TREATS, the shortbread cookies, I stand up and try to stop him! I repeated what he said to me but no. I knew this would happen. Absolute buffoon! He is a Cookie Monster and will always be a Cookie Monster. He needs to do some yoga to find inner peace to control his cookie temptations – I think it’ll work.
So yes, that was the excitement of the day and tomorrow will probably look very similar but who knows. The Coronavirus might get bored tomorrow and give up, then everything might go back to normal…or not 🙃
