Adrian & Emiko: Day 34, Eat your vegetables..Seriously.

We forgot to eat our vegetables after lunch today and felt a big dip in energy while doing chores later. After the laundry came out of the dryer, Adrian became very distressed. Just the thought of folding our sheets made him give a little sigh.

We both became famished, and just wanted to eat vegetables really bad. Not pizza, not hamburgers, not burritos, VEGETABLES! We couldn't stop talking about veggies. Adrian wanted a bowl of spinach, but Emiko said 'No, you can't eat the same vegetables twice in the same day'. Adrian gave a little sigh.

When we got home, we had a huge bowl of peas each. And happily ate the rest of our dinner - egg whites, milk (Emiko), banana and a spoonful of rice (Adrian). This probably sounds lame to most people, but it's actually quite satisfying. We never go to bed on full stomachs like we used to, and it feels good to do.

Earlier, we worked out at the same time, staggering our exercises because we only have 1 resistance band for both of us. Adrian did a round of the 8-minute Abs video while Emiko was doing her Chest Flies. The instructor's motivational phrases in the video are hilarious. Emiko started laughing so hard at a certain point that she could not physically finish her chest flies. The same thing happened to Adrian later. We both really love that 8 minute abs guy.

I totally agree guys If you don't eat em you fail! lol Patrick has mentioned many times that veggies are what give you a "clean low burn" and it's so true the sustain your overall wakefulness through the day.

Have you seen the other videos where the 8min Abs guy is wearing his black and white striped leotard? Someone left a comment saying "It looks like he just escaped from gay jail."

The other videos are all kind of lame. I don't even get a burn off of them. But 8min Abs still cooks my muscles every time.

Tim and Nate, I think it's true for both fruit and veggies. I was really glad each time I got to eat my fruit today, I really needed those sugar boosts!

Haha Patrick...I just looked up the '8-min Arms' and '8-min Legs' videos, and his leotard is just... priceless.
