Day 76

So, in order to burn some more fat, I doubled the jump rope: 6 min x 6 sets. And abs til failure - thought could do forever, but collapsed at 170 at first, then 100, 80, 72, then 70.

It's another beautiful day, we went to Ginza for a long walk even before the stores were open. I actually didn't care about the stores, but rather just get out the house as kids were screaming, husband going crazy, and my parents around. Plus, decided to do my indulgence, something I used to love: buffet lunch at Mandarin Oriental Italian restaurant called Ventaglio. Made a reservation for the clan and walked to Nihombashi from Ginza.

So, here we are. I started with salad and the other veggies without thinking, and they had wonderful dishes. Had 2 trips back to the veggie island while kids were busy with pasta, then moved onto the main dishes table. The photo is one of the mains they had which I forgot the name, but I enjoyed it very much as I like mussel and snapper. They also had roast beef with truffle hazelnut sauce, and some beef stew. I only had 2 pieces of fussilli, I tried some of their tiny deserts to see how my body would react. Result: whipped cream and chocolate cake were NO as they made me mildly sick, jasmine tea jelly was great, and fruit tart was so tasty. And I finished the meal with cappuccino.

So, feeling guilty about eating that much, tried to contribute some calorie consumption by walking back from Nihombashi to Shimbashi via Ginza again.

It filled me up and I didn't even had dinner nor evening snack, as I was dog tired. I felt my body sunk to the mattress, then the next thing I know was my son waking up in the morning...!
