Since we last spoke so much has occurred! Naturally, I ate the banana. And it was damn good too.

Also, I have had dinner. I was really good; you would have been proud of me. It was a chicken, veg and cashew stir fry with noodles. I fried all the stuff in only a TINY bit of olive oil, used a smidge here and there of soy sauce, whacked in a little Diablo chilli and some of my mom’s seasoning powder plus of course the small jar of hoisin stir-fry sauce, and voila! It was simply lush. And I must admit that I did have seconds. I know I shouldn’t have, and it was really naughty of me, but I couldn’t help it. In fairness though, the second helping was so tiny it hardly even counts since there was only about two pieces of chicken in it and a teensy bit of veg. It was mainly because I had a few noodles left over (from my one noodle nest – Sharwood’s if you must know . . .) and I wanted to add a little flavour. You know what, it was that small that I don’t even feel bad about it so there!

I must be honest and say that I am on a bit of a high, as I have only just finished exercising and boy oh boy, those scientists weren’t lying when they were trying to convince us all that working-out releases happy, feel-good hormones named Endorphins. Oooh I could just give my endorphins a cuddle right now I am so hyper. Well, it began pouring with rain, so in answer to what you are all dying to know, no I did not go running/walking around the block for half an hour as I initially wanted to do. I did one better! I danced. And I mean really danced. I put on some upbeat tunes (including the like of Down by Jay Sean, Number One by Tinchy Stryder and In My Head by Jason Derulo – Yes I did sing the final name in the list) and just got my groove on. It was amazing, I literally jumped, shimmied, bopped, jived and moshed around for a whole half hour. I must have burned epic calories. I was so tired afterwards though and my legs feel a little like jelly now. But that’s ok because it was so worth it.

I was (and still am) bright red in the face, despite cooling down with some relaxing head-rolls and what not, so I jumped straight into an ICE COLD BATH to cool down! That’s probably another reason why I am so high right now, the adrenalin of being in such a cold environment after being boiling hot gave me an amazing rush.

Anyway. I am currently waiting for my first mug of ‘mingy tea’ by Herbalife to cool down a little so that I can drink the thing. It smells a little like a cross between gravy and hot-and-sour soup from the Chinese takeaway. I’m a little apprehensive actually, (not least because it is known mostly for its unattractive preceding adjective) although my aunt says it’s a little like Green Tea. I guess there’s only one way to find out . . .
