Hello :)
Im trying to remember everything that we did yesterday. ... but it was such a long day!
It started off with ny hormones being crazy - I.e really hungry and I just wanted to eat everything. & my home longing and hormones made me really sad so I almost burst into tears....

^^Part of breakfast & loads more
But I got myself under control and we headed out for another day in the city.
First we headed into Grans Central where we were going to walk to Central Park. On tgh way we found the store GNC which was where I bought my questbars, but as I wrote before, when I opened the cookie dough flavour box, 3 bars were missing. So we went in to see if I could get a whole box, which I could dp and then I also used a gift voucher I got to buy a new box!! Did someone say addicted? ;)
By this point it was 12pm so we decides to get lunch before we went walking. I got a large salad with toppings - grilled chicken, sun dried tomatoes, egg, olives, peppers, roasted sesame seeds etc its basically been my typical lunch here. Because it tastes soooo good! And believe it or not, its really filling. Like I van barely manage to finish it!!
We then continued to Central park and walked for a while - mainly stopping to take photos every 2 minutes! But that's what happens when your a tourist!!!
We then just continued walking - stopping to get a starbucks to go. - until we reached Times square (New York isnt as big as we first thought). And of course we ended up in forever 21, and my dad bought me a dress - as a birthday gift - even though the trip to New York is a gift! So that was much appreciated! !! ^-^
^^ Bought the black dress
Today we were going to get a tour of the FN building - as that is where my dads friend (who we are staying at) works at, and also my sister wants to work with FN in the future.
So we took the tube and then walked a long distance to the building.
We walked several flights of steps and all around.... and I just started feeling myself really heat up, and felt dizzy. Like the world was spinning.

So I had to just sit down, drink a bunch of water and eat a bar. My body was taking the toll of the days walking and not enough food. I know that while ive been away I havent been eating enough - for the amount of walking we have done. My dad doesnt really understand snacks. So I do have bars and apples with me, but I havent had a chance to buy anything like nuts which will give me more energy.
After FN we did some more browsing of shops, me feeling a little better. And then we went to a pub where we sat for a while having a few drinks.
By this point I was starving it had gone more than 7 hours since lunch and I was starting to feel dizzy again. In the next half hour we just walked and walked trying to find a restaurant and I just felt worse and worse..... I felt like I was drunk. I could barely control my body, I was just seeing people and lights everywhere. But I wasn't with it at all.... I was scared that I would faint.
But finally we found a restaurant and we ordered - I got grilled chicken, potatoes & salad. & bread and even had a few slices of pizza - I dont like pizza but as I was still hungry and I mean, pizza in new York is obligatory right? :)
After that we took a taxi home - however it took like 20 minutes to actually hail a taxi...
So if its one thing I can tell you, films are not like real life!!! Hahha
When we got home I ate 2 bars before falling asleep directly! !!












































I know how you feel!! When I went to Paris for four days I lost several kgs(!!) due to walking all day and only being able to eat three meals a day... A lot of it was muscle and I had a major setback in my workout progress, but luckily I've been fine ever since when travelling by making sure to bring energy dense food with me :)
ReplyDeleteYeah bringing snacks is so important because even though you might not be working out like usual, when you are in cities you end up walking loads!!!
DeleteIt looks amazing there!! ^_^ It sounds like you've had a lot of long days, but I'm hoping that things stay good and you enjoy yourself while you're there! Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I had a great time!!
