Day 28 - Am I a Mechanic?

I had everything planned out today. I was so ready to workout at 8 PM, finish before 10 PM, and sleep a long and deep sleep without worrying about what time I had to get up. Well, it didn't work out exactly as I planned. I don't know if I explained in the previous posts, but my projector bulb exploded while I was doing my Cardio Fix yesterday. I was very close to being done, but my projector overheated and the bulb exploded. After that sudden experience, I decided to fix my projector thinking that it'll only take 5 minutes to replace the bulb. I sat down, unplugged everything, and replaced the old bulb with a new bulb. I turned on the projector, and I smell this burnt plastic smell. I place my hand in front of the vent where hot air is supposed to expel, and I don't feel the fan working! I then realized that it's not the bulb that was the problem. It was the cooling fan. So I look online on how to disassemble the projector, but realize how much work it'll be and end up blowing dust away from the fan, and reassembling the pieces together. Thankfully, everything was put back the way it was, I was able to hear the fan working, and my projector was fixed! I don't know why, but I think I'm actually really good at disassembling and reassembling things, along with assembling those disassembled furnitures you get at Ikea. I still smell burnt plastic, but I think it's because I added in the new bulb. It could be one of those new product smells you smell at the beginning of installing.

Well, despite all that hard work of fixing my projector, I had no time to workout. By the time I fixed everything, it was already midnight. I guess it was good in a way that I ended up having no time because my body was actually really sore from yesterday's workout. Rest days are there to help your body recover from all that intense workout you did the day before. So make sure you're sleeping early and having at least 8 hours of sleep everyday. I'll have to start catching up on my blogilates workout starting tomorrow. It's 2 approximately 1 hour workouts of blogilates, but I'm sure I can manage it if I split the two workouts to one in the morning, and one at dinner time. I heard that it's good to space our your workouts throughout the day rather than working out everything in the morning, and then relaxing throughout the entire day. Movement is crucial to our health, and it's something that many people don't do in today's society.

Workout:

None for today

Diet:

Breakfast - Brown rice with turkey bacon
Lunch - Ezekiel bread with tofu, salsa, and guacamole

Dinner - 2 Oranges

How I felt:

You're actually not supposed to eat fruit after 2 PM. I heard that it's just not good to have sugar in your system late at night. I just love fruit, and I think it's harder to resist fruit than chocolate for me. I found these new brand of oranges at my local Sprouts, and they've never failed to taste amazing. They're 6 oranges for $3, which is a bit on the pricey side, but I still think the taste outcompetes the price. I had time to make myself one of my new Ezekiel bread toast recipes. This time around, I used tofu with guacamole and salsa. I gotta say, it tastes amazing. I was hesitant to try adding tofu to my Ezekiel bread because it's two really dry ingredients in one meal. But the guacamole and salsa really make up for it. The tofu was cooked on a frying pan with some liquid amino and coconut oil until brown. The salsa was also sautéed for a little bit on the frying pan to make it less spicy, and more sweet. Definitely give it a try, and let me know! These ezekiel bread recipes are really helping me to stay active throughout the day. I don't feel as tired and sluggish than when I eat junk foods. Quest bars save me from binge eating, and satisfy that sweet tooth.
