36/35 days to go...

Yesterday was my last day in Montreal with Rob before another week. We slept in a bit and went out for sushi lunch! I swear to you, I could eat sushi for every meal and probably take a really really long time to get sick of it. We go to a place about 15 minutes away by bus that has all-you-can-eat, and it's pretty good. We always get salmon nigiri, red tuna roll, salmon hand roll (my favourite!), edamame, miso soup, a few different makis, and green tea ice cream. I'm in love. Seriously.

I had to take the bus home around dinner time, so Rob packed me a granola bar and an apple and I grabbed a 6" turkey sub from Subway on the way to the station. I ate those in the bus. No gym today! Normally if we were here we could get away with spending an hour and a bit total between getting a solid workout in and getting to and from the gym itself. In Montreal, it's half an hour travel each way, plus the hour at the gym. Rob isn't one to rush either, so it's a solid 3 hour process to go to the gym. We didn't have time for that yesterday, but we got some exercise in anyway :)

Today was my first day back to the bootcamp. I haven't been keeping up properly, although I have been conscious and have been watching not to eat anything completely over the top. I think this is the stage I'd be at in a normal situation where the bootcamp becomes a lifestyle ie. you watch what you eat, make the effort to get exercise and lots of vegetables in every day, but you still indulge every so often.

Breakfast was steel-cut oats with warm milk, a teaspoon of peanut butter and a sprinkle of cocoa powder, with green tea.
Lunch was a spinach salad with scrambled eggs for protein, yogurt with raspberries, kamut, chia and kasha, with an apple for afternoon snack.
Dinner took a while to cook (baked salmon with pesto yogurt sauce), wild rice blend and sauteed bok choy so in the meantime I made a half dozen of those tiny PC chicken meatballs with mustard, with a small piece of cheese. Dessert was a date square that my grandpa made me and that I have in the freezer. I have a terrible sweet tooth following meals, I tell you.

Today's exercise was a really sweaty awesome hot yoga class, and I completed the day with a small bowl of all-bran with milk for fibre. Woohoo! Feels good to be back in the game! My short-term goal is formal next Friday, so I have a few weeks to get into shape to fit into that slim plum dress and knock my boyfriend's socks off. Go me!
