Hanging Out with Mom

Today I woke up, meditated, and started my yoga practice. My practice is usually slower than the led classes, and wind up taking about two hours. I wanted to save time in my day so I tried speeding things up. After bending over a few times, I felt lightheaded. I’ve always felt this way due to my low blood pressure, but speeding up my practice worsened the condition. I decided that that’s enough for today.

My mom, of course, attributes it to a lack of meat in my diet. Ok, let’s try it your way. I designated my mom to be my new dietician. Anything she tells me to eat, I’ll eat. I have two weeks until I go to Thailand, where I’ll be eating a vegetarian diet anyway, so this will be a good opportunity to see how my body responds.

So today I ate some spicy beef ramen. I also ate a red-bean pudding cake thing. I disagreed with my mom’s choice, but she’s the dietician.

Afterward I hung out with my mom. I wanted to go home and do some work (transcribing, sorting photos, writing) but my mom seemed to want to hang out, saying we’re going on a date and stuff.

Sure, why not? I only have about two weeks until Thailand, and after that she’s leaving Hong Kong. I hardly ever spend alone time with my mom. This will be a good opportunity for me to get to know her better.

We went shopping and just hung out. Just like I go to dim sum with my grandma to encourage her to exercise, I hung out with my mom for exercise and for fresh air.

For dinner I had some cucumber-like thing with salmon and noodles. Yummy and full of Omega-3 goodness.

I love my mommy!
