So Saturday began with a large mug of black brewed coffee and a blank stare. At the very least, one hour. Then I made the choice to open the window in my bedroom. It had been a dreary day all day. It didn't help my mood, and I despised looking out the window. I even didn't bother going outdoors. Actually, my thoughts were at home. I miss home, especially now that my husband is back for holidays. When my son joked that you should have been here too, mom, I almost cried. I video call them multiple times a day, but being there, being with them, is still different.
Something had to be done, and because I am not one to dwell on negativities, I quickly changed into my workout clothes. I needed to wag this feeling off, and hitting the treadmill was a fantastic method for me to do it. It's fine to be homesick, but it's not okay for it to consume me. I needed to regain control over this feeling.
Oooh yes, after almost an hour of run, jog and walk, it was a success! It felt great and I felt way much better. My endorphins has done a very good job and those buckets of sweat were very much needed indeed.
In addition to that, it's as if the exhaustion wasn't enough, I still have the energy to clean the house. I vacuumed and mopped the floors then scrubbed the toilet. Woooooop woooooop! 😅
Of course I needed to prepare a meal. It was already half past 1 in the afternoon when i time checked. Off to the fridge and only broccoli and pork bellies were in there. As a result I ended up cooking an air-fried pork belly with broccoli rice.
After that scrumptious meal, I needed something sweet,a dessert, so I took hold of my frosted fruit leftovers from the fridge, mixed in some yoghurt, and voila, a creamy dessert was created!
Life can be a bitch sometimes but at the end of the day, only you and no one else can help you. You must find something that works and stick with it no matter what. In my case, for today, was to sweat the hell it out!
‘Til next time Hivers. Keep safe, be happy and have a great weekend you all!
😊😍

hi @chichi18
I love your positivity and we think alike. Your food looks brilliant!
If we are in a funk or stressed or depressed then we are the ones to sort it. Getting up and doing an hour on the treadmill is a great thing to do. Like you said, the endorphins kicked in and then you cleaned the house and got energised.
I hope you get back to your family soon. Are an overseas Filipino worker, I see you have reblogged leeart and bloghound who I knew very well from elsewhere:)
May you have a Happy Easter and have many video calls with your family!
