Beginning maintenance

Woke up Saturday morning feeling like the world is just brighter today with both MrM and I on maintenance now. Made scrambled eggs for both MrM and I and felt that was the best scrambled eggs in the whole world!

Lunch was wedding food, namely ayam masak merah, daging rendang and the usual fare. Refrained from the beriani Johor that the tuan rumah said was very good and stuck to protein. But the fat in the protein!!! After all the dieting suddenly you realize there is so much oil in our cooking in addition to the fat coming from the meat.

We had planned on bringing the kids for a family meal treat (on account that I had an unexpected salary increment, unexpected in that didn't think it would be double digit). Initially I wanted to go to Jake's and have a focused meal but MrM said that the kids just love buffet and he also didn't want to go all the way to KL just for a meal.

So the choices were Putrajaya or Bangi. Made reservations at Pullman Lakeside and believe it or not, they closed the restaurant where we made reservations for a private function! I was so pissed with the hotel for not telling us when I left them my phone number!

So at 5:30pm, after calling Shangri-La, Marriott, Equatorial and Cyberview Lodge, we decided on Cyberview Lodge. The deciding factor was they had a barbecue dinner buffet.

Off we went. And what a feast! Lamb, beef, fish, prawns, chicken, choice of lauk.....ayam karma, steamed sea bass, squid sambal, note that I mentioned protein only. Because it was protein galore for both MrM and I like we never ate protein before.

THE VERDICT?

MrM 83.1kg
Me 73.6kg

As of Sunday morning

Not bad for a first day maintenance phase
