Steemfat3: The toughest part will be walking through the valley of temptation.
When I was 19 years old I went to the UK alone to visit my clan mates.
We used to play this game called Urban Terror (a Quake 3 mod).
Of course we went out to and that was the first time I realised that these guys understand going out so much better than the Dutch!
Instead of of going out around 22:00 and coming home at 4:00 these guys started at 19:00!
Have a drink and a chat in the pub and in bed before midnight!
Genius!
The next morning you wake up 10x fresher.
It just works so much better that I only wanted to exclusively do it like that.
And that was very easy said to because I never went out in my twenties. I lived online and later in Azeroth.
But now, this amazing knowledge comes in very handy!
Just like yesterday. We started around 14:00. Even earlier!
We lost Ben around 22:00 and Fabio went home 23:45.
I was in bed around midnight.
I woke up fresh and got a lot of stuff done.
After my morning vlog I went straight to the gym.
Pretty spectacular for a Sunday. But I have a lot of catching up to do.
I've simply been slacking.
It went well and focused on core and cardio this time.
After coming home Bianca and I both realised we need to get more serious about this.
She been struggling with her own weight-loss Journey.
And I weighted myself in the gym and was sort of shocked when the scale read 124kg.
We went for a walk near a nice place close to our house to talk about it more.
The weather was stunning.
Coming home Bianca made a delicious and healthy meal including some leftover brisket from yesterday.
Rice and beans the staple of the Brazilian cuisine! With some Okra.
It was good and the last thing I'll eat today.
Which will be interesting because we going to the cinema tonight.
There is a new movie out Bianca has been wanted to see for a long time (trailers).
It's called the 'The Shape of Water'.
I'm not sure what to expect but i'll go with the flow.
The toughest part will be walking through the valley of temptation.
The part of the cinema that is filled with goodies before you reach your seat.
The popcorn stand (my favourite) will be singing like a mythological siren no doubt.
But after today I feel confident we will withstand.
Let's go.

The rice, bean and brisket combo with okra sounds strange and interesting. I have always had okra cooked the Pakistani way with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, salt, red chili powder and turmeric powder so seeing it like this is strange for me. I am struggling with weight loss too and walking through the valley of temptation is something I can relate to a lot.
I never had Okra before Bianca introduced it to me. I didn't even know there are different ways to prepare (makes sense though). That's the cool thing here on Steemit, so many nationalities in one place to give ideas. And yes, the good old valley of temptation, I'm sure we can resist!
Yeah there are many ways to prepare Okra, but I like it cooked the way I mentioned before. I fry okra in oil and when it ebcomes tender, I take it out and fry onions, chopped tomatoes and green chilies with turmeric and red chili powder and salt till a smooth mixture is formed and then I add in the okras. It is delicious. Your way looks interesting too but I am a bit scared of experimenting because if I don't like it, the food may go to waste and I don't wanna waste my money since I am already living from paycheck to paycheck.
Yeah, temptations can be resisted if you stay focused on your goal. I am trying to do the same nowadays. Very difficult but doable.
This pun made me laugh. I don’t even know if it was intentional. 😂
I try to avoid the concession stands at the movies. They only have “too much sugar”, “too much fat” or “too much salt” for options.
It’s better to save your hunger until you get home.
It was unintentional, but it works I see it now :). I tried the meal before you go tactic.
Hahahahaha @exyle, I wanted to say get a masking tape to cover your eyes and let someone walk you through the corridor of temptation. But then you mentioned popcorn so I don't know how you are going to do with the aroma. Well, tell us tomorrow if you were able to withstand the pressure.
LOL!
The last part made me laugh * valley of temptation*.
Just don't over do it. It should be fine. I know you like pop corn.
Enjoy your Sunday night.
Keep on steemin'
Well done for going to the gym on a Sunday - it's all about habit forming - you need to do something 19 times in a row before it gets to be a routine so keep persevering my friend! Will be interested to hear if you like "The Shape of Water' - it is supposed to be quite original - it's on my list too. Keep posting!
124 kg is bit on the higher side, try to bring it under 100 kg....Glad to see you eating rice and okra, which is really healthy food to have while on diet. But i was enjoying Lamb mined meat since yesterday, recipe in my blog!
Rice and beans with okra..? Hmmm .. strange combination. Seriously!
It was lovely!
wow very nice
Did you look at the pic? Looks perfect to me.
I was thinking so too but days ago someone here suggested that based on my intro post. Will sure try making this combination and blog about it here.
Rice and Beans are a staple down here in Georgia USA, and Okra too :)
The food looks similar to what North Indians eat. Although I am sure it will taste way different. I hope it's not much spicy. We eat a lot of spices you know. :)
This was not spicy. I do like Indian food a lot though (except when it's too hot).
Ignoring the goodies at the cinema will be one hell of a challenging walk down the valley of temptation..
Like seriously, there's nothing like watching a movie at the cinema with a bottle of soda and popcorn😍😍😍
well its good to hear that bianca also been struggling her own weight lost journey and this is really good that you both on this track one time hope it will make your progress good @exyle
also she make this deleciosu food and rice with beans is really my favourit
