Week 5 Day 7 Cheater Day Yay

I started today with a banana.  That’s not cheater day food, right?  But then I had an ice cream bar and we’ve gone through about half a whole wheat French loaf with Irish butter.  That is so good.

I did get on the elliptical.  594 calories in 31 minutes.  Just finished my cool down.

So this cheater day is off to a great start.  I’ll have a shower.  We’re planning grilled cheese with ham and tomato for lunch, and then we’re off on the bikes to Auchan to return my defective new keyboard and then… then it’s a vente latte at Starbucks.

There’s been a suggestion that we should pick up a couple of Breezers, because hey, it’s summer, when we stop at Auchan.  And then “The Avengers” has just opened at the Wanda cinema.  Josh Whedon directed.  Great reviews.  Shaping up to be a great cheater day already.

We’re back. Actually, we’re back and gone out to dinner and back from that too.  “The Avengers” was fun.  Bubble gum for the brain.  Total eye candy.  But very well done.  As long as I park my brain at the door for that kind of movie, it’s a fun ride.  It’s only afterward that I feel like I’ve had a very empty calorie feast.  We did stop at Auchan to pick up my new keyboard, the one I am typing on right now, and we did pick up four Breezers for each of us, three of which I consumed while watching the movie.  I had my Starbucks vente latte before, and got another to go after.  So I’ve been well cafinated.  Then we harnessed up the dog went out to a little restaurant near the campus for gan jia li ji (dry fried pork), xi hong xi chao ji dan (a scrambled eggs with tomatoes dish)  and hao you xiang cai (lettuce cooked in oyster sauce), all with mi fan (white rice).  I bought a bottle of huang jiu (yellow rice wine, with a sweet flavour that reminds me of prune juice) to go with the meal.  I took the remains of the bottle home with me from the restaurant and I’m enjoying a glass as I fill in on the day, right now.

So all told it’s been a great cheater day.  Tomorrow I will need to do some class prep, and I’ll be back on the program.  A cheater day is sure a great reward for being strict all week.

Oh yeah, about that movie.  I gotta get me a long black leather coat.  And a great body.  Could take some time.

Would I look too kinky in a coat like this one?   It's a great look.
