Journey to 60: Week 7

This week marks the 3rd week of the fasting regime of our not so little project. We planned to escalate her fasting to 48 hours instead of 24. But unfortunately, it did not go as planned because of various circumstances like an invitation to the fiesta. :D

Anyway, for this week this was the routine she made. I cannot detail the exercise or name them for the circuits done because most of the time I am doing something else.
But the workouts usually are a combination of Gym Rings routine and Bodyweight exercises and Bodyweight  exercises with Weights.

Monday (June 11)

• Circuit C Workout
• Fasting
  

Tuesday (June 12)

• No Workout
• Dinner - Tinolang Manok
  She was allowed to eat as she was the one who prepared the chicken for the stew.
  

Wednesday (June 13)

• Walked for 3 km.
• Dinner at the Fiesta :D
  

Thursday (June 14)

• No Workout
• Homemade Shawarma
  We made her eat Shawarma condiments wrapped in Mustard Leaf instead of Pita Bread. :D
  

Friday (June 15)

• Circuit C Workout
• Fasting
  

Saturday (June 16)

• Leisurely walk for an Hour or so.
• Late Lunch at Jollibee
  I allowed it because she was with me all throughout my medical appointment that lasted for 3 hours.
  

Sunday (June 17)

• Combination of Circuit C, Circuit D and Circuit B for a single rep of each.
• Fasting
  

And this marks the end of the 7th week. Today we start a new one and hopefully, we can strictly follow that diet order :D

My Trip to the Capital

The last week has been busy for me. I had my very first trip to Manila, though not to Luzon as I was in Palawan a few years back for a vacation.

We stayed over with some friends who work in the business capital, Makati.

SM Mall of Asia

Makati and its neighboring cities did not turn out to be what I expected. Yes, the traffic is ever a pain in the neck as projected and commuting is hard. The population is overflowing which leads to the main problem people are facing which is the traffic.

But, it was not as expensive as I expected nor was it as polluted as I dared not hope it to be.

Expense-wise, if you spend your time eating in the malls and restos, then check it will consume half your paycheck. Though, if you spare some time to do marketing and cooking, I think you will save a lot more. The prices for meat products and vegetables and fruits are almost the same in Iloilo, some are even cheaper. True, the beef and fish products are a bit on the pricey side but the pork and chicken products are priced exactly the same in Iloilo. Ours are just fresher :D

Dining at Chili's

The fare is cheap. I think me and the hubby spent a total of 100 pesos in fare excluding the taxi to the airport and my Grab ride to Diliman.

Pollution-wise, the Pasig River stinks and there was trash everywhere on the streams leading to it and basically everywhere. But only a few cars smoke-belch so that's a plus. And the vehicles are not as noisy individually, though there are just a lot of them so it's still too hot to be walking anywhere with cars around you.

Though, I like the effort put in by developers to add green things like trees and shrubs to their buildings. It adds are refreshing vibe to the whole scenario of tall buildings, no sky dilemma.

The greenest place I've seen was the UP Diliman Campus and I hope it stayed that way.

Bringing Tibiao to Diliman

All in all, the experience was not so bad. There are just too many people for my taste. I hope our City of Love does not turn out as bad as Manila when all the developments are done.

A BIG thanks to all of our friends who accommodated us and spared some time in their busy schedules to chit-chat with us.
