Day 3

Today, I almost gave in & ruined my cleanse! Fortunately, the cleanse is still on :)
I did have some tofu miso soup for dinner though, hehe...

We took the kids out today, originally for a fishing trip. However, the kids didn't like the place, and the plan was canceled. We then took them to another lake, one which they did like! One with ducks swimming around! We ended up hanging out there for a bit & they enjoyed feeding the ducks!

That was fun for the kids & very peaceful for us, the adults.

It turned out that we didn't do much for the spring break vacation, but it was quality time that we got to spend together. :) Time we had to really pay attention to our children in doing what they love & what is fun & relaxing to them! School days are always very headache-worthy, along with all the after school activities that my children have to do...
So I'm happy that they get a break here & there.

Hope your spring break vacation is fun and loving as well!

:)

Day 2 on my cleanse

Doing good so far :)
I did have some orange & grapes though!
However, I already feel my energy level going up!! More to follow...

We did squeeze in some family biking this evening around the neighborhood with the kids :) fun after dinner!

Have a great weekend!!

Day 1 - master cleanse

I'm supposed to be in my best shape and ready for teacher training, but instead, I have been eating too much bad stuff that doesn't work well with my body!!

Refined carbs and sweets are just not my friend!! I feel tired all the time!!

Wish me luck while I try to get rid of them from my body :)

I'm planning to cleanse for one week. I did it before, and usually I see my energy level increase by day 3. I will keep check of the progress and post it here on my blog.

Until then, stay safe & healthy.

Namaste~~

Fun day with my kids :)

Today, my children woke up in the morning and wanted to go to little Tokyo! So here we go...

Strolling around in Tokyo town & bought some Japanese snacks
that they love! Nick got a Totoro & it is so adorable!!

Then we stopped by at our favorite Japanese restaurant for lunch :)

Afterward, we were going to go to a museum, but we don't have enough time, as they both have piano lessons later on in the afternoon.

But our day has been fun just doing what the kids want!

Cooking meat for my kids & husband :)

my friends always ask me: "doesn't cooking meat torture you since you're
a vegetarian?" I personally don't very tempted, as I do not have any interest in eating meat.

I cook meat for my family almost on a daily basis and for tonight, i made chicken (picture below).

I make meat and veggie dishes, and I just stick to the vegetable one. Sometimes, it's a trouble when my family decide to go out for dinner to a Korean BBQ restaurant where they serve primarily meat! In those cases, I just eat a salad! Or I stay home :)

Is it difficult when you need to prepare a separate meal for your family when you are a vegetarian or vegan or etc?

I still find it difficult, especially when we go out to eat. But it gets better when you are used to the idea...

1st day of their spring break vacation

Nothing much, just let them sleep in for a bit, woke up at around 10am & ate breakfast.

Then off to the dentist for check up and routine cleaning, both did well!

We then took them to their favorite Japanese market & bought some shabu shabu stuff & sashimi, came home & prepared dinner, ate at around 5pm.

Now they are playing some video game, then we are off to go to the park :)

Studying my dialogue for TT

I have gotten the dialogue for about two weeks now, but the memorizing is going pretty slowly :(

I'm hoping to pick up the speed and get the standing series down by this Saturday!!

So let's get to work!!!!
