Hey everyone!
I woke up at 11:30am today so that means, yet again, I skipped breakfast. Oops. So a quick re-cap of Day 2 of Live Below the Line.
I awoke with the knowledge that I would be working from 10am-2pm, followed by some campaigning for Let's Go Munro for Union Board and then my Indonesian lecture at 4pm. I decided to eat the legume concoction for both lunch and dinner that day as I did not have much time to prepare any other meals. I also knew that Antman would be bringing out 75c packet cake mix made with olive oil and some milk to class at 4pm - that was going to be the highlight of my day!
Day 2 was a little tough as was not feeling the best health-wise and the result of this, was a bit grouchy at work. My spirits lifted after chatting to people on Eastern Avenue about the campaign or bumping into friends on campus. It didn't help there was a DELICIOUS cake sitting on our campaign desk but the knowledge of my cake's arrival at 4pm kept me from temptation. My Indonesian lecture was a test of concentration skills or in my case, lacking in concentration skills. I found that I could understand what the guest lecturer was saying but when it came to remembering and translating, I found it a little muddled. I'm sure my marks for that week's summary will be a little flaky.
Later that night, I went to an AMAZING gig of the Cat Empire at the Basement with a special guest appearance of James Morrison! It was so great to hear James Morrison play, he is such a genius and had the most amazing sound! They had the most amazing vibe and played a lot of their newer songs but still threw in some of my old favourites - Two Shoes, Misere.
It was a great gig but halfway through, as a result of being rather sick and in the first day of the challenge, I needed to sit down instead of grooving to the music. That was kind of lame but managed to get back on my feet for the last couple of songs. Such a good gig!
Overall survived Day 2 despite some hurdles of my usual routine and with a cold. So back to Day 3 of the challenge.
When I woke up, I decided I was going to make some pear and oat porridge as my brunch. I figured I needed some vitamins from the fruits and the oats to keep me feeling full. However, I remembered I still had one portion left of the legume concotion that has formed Sunday night's dinner, Monday's lunch and dinner. So I ate that instead since figured it was better to use up food I have had, rather than cook something. So behold, legume concoction formed 4 meals throughout the challenge! What a bargain!
As I'm writing this, I'm enjoying drinking hot water with 2 tsp of raw sugar - it's a nice reminder of tea! Though, I usually don't have sugar in my tea.
Dinner tonight will be some sort of potato and lentil curry and some pear rice pudding for dessert. I wish I had more spices to make the curry nicer but alas, salt, pepper and garam masala will have to suffice!
