After 4 days straight of eating delectable rich curried food from hubby’s shop this week, I had to run an extra mile today, in the glorious 10-ish a.m. sun. It feels absolutely satisfying to be drenched in sweat with rosy cheeks after a 40-minute jog ?♀️. I had a light mid-morning breakfast of sugar-free yoghurt and…

RMCO Day 7 ~ Tuesday, 16 June 2020
I skipped jogging this morning to wash my car that’s not been washed throughout the MCO, which is 3 months!

She was even left outside the car…
RMCO Day 6 ~ Monday, 15 June 2020
Today I’m feeling a wee bit under the weather – throat is starting to act up and nose feels unusual, the kind that you know a cold or flu is about to attack. I know that if I don’t nip the virus or bacteria at the bud from proliferating, I could end up with a…

MCO Day 84 ~ Tuesday, 9 June 2020
Today our baking queen baked her very first loaf of hand-kneaded bread, which is Brioche loaf bread and Brioche buns! According to her, the bread is not 100% perfect as the texture is not super fluffy and pillowy but her sisters and I think that it’s pretty good — super soft, buttery and rich (she…

MCO Day 80 ~ 5 June 2020 (Friday)
This morning’s jog was cut short when it started to drizzle. Oh how I dislike wet mornings! I continued running for a short while in the drizzle until it got heavier. Getting a minimum of 30 minutes run each day is as important as getting my daily supplements. My daily workout is akin to popping…
