Limiting factors: Dog and Cupcakes

Day Two - Sunday: Last night I stayed up to about 2am finishing a knitting project (socks for my mom) which was the first bad move of the day! I ended up sleeping in until about 10am and calling my parents on Skype. Mr. K made a beautiful omelet with sweet red peppers, mushrooms, spinach and cheese with a side of buttered sourdough toast. There goes my spinach salad and boiled egg diet for the day! Anyways, a healthy breakfast regardless.

I threw my bicycle and my German shepherd (E) in the back of the car, and headed off to do some biking. E does really well running with me on the bike but I had a feeling she was getting very tired, so we turned around a little bit early, cutting our round trip by about a kilometer. When we got back to the car, I put my bike inside and we went for a quick walk to my brother in-laws place and had a quick visit.

When I got home there were two cupcakes waiting for me. Mr. K's sister had been busy baking while I was biking. She is pretty health conscious but for some reason went a bit crazy with the icing. Yes, I ate both of them and then another that she made of a different kind. Like I said, she was busy baking while I was biking.

For tea I made Moroccan beef which consists of diced beef (I try to cut off any white fat), olive oil, sweet potato, sun dried tomato, snow peas and couscous. I also made a salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, feta cheese and Paul Newman's balsamic vinegarette. Oh and two more slices of sourdough bread (thin slices, topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar).

Mr. K and I are currently watching the season finale of Master Chef and seeing food made us feel hungry again, Mr. K went for a bowl of ice cream and I had --- an orange! I am proud of myself. I came so close to making popcorn with butter and salt... or even toffee popcorn. I even had the oil heating up ready to start popping but Mr. K talked me out of it. Thanks Mr. K!

We are back to uni tomorrow and then tutoring, so it will be a busy day. My plans are to follow my spinach salad and boiled egg diet tomorrow, wake up at 6 am and walk the dog (E) at the beach for 40minutes and do some boxing training with Mr. K in the evening.

Here's hoping I have the strength!
