Day 43 was full of expenses! My mom wanted to go shopping today so I quickly took my progress pictures, weighed myself, read ten pages and headed to the gym. I trained calisthenics at the gym and then headed home. Breakfast was poha and from there my mom and I went on our adventure to Old Panvel. Our first stop was the juice centre because it is so hot and we both got the Mango Mastani (while minding my calories of course)! It is almost mango season and Mangoes are coming into the market. Mango Mastani is Mango flavoured milk with a scoop of Mango ice cream on top and some soaked basil seeds on top which look like chia seeds and in fact act as cooling agents for your insides. This is probably my favourite dessert of all time especially during summer because its cool, not too sweet and creamy!

After that we went to buy my mom some shoes, she got a pair of shoes for walking and a pair of shoes for regular use. After that we went to shop for tops for her. She purchased four different tops and then had them altered to her size. She is going to attend a reception on Sunday so she wanted something to wear for the event. After that we headed home and lunch was chicken curry and rice. After lunch I caught up on work and finished my gallon of water. In the evening I headed out for my walk. My neighbour had a function going on in the evening since he just got married. It is his reception that my mother will be attending on Sunday. I will be avoiding the event because I have exhausted my one event per year limit and I can only bear so much exposure to crowds. Besides the heat is excessive and I doubt the food will be up to date based on my dietary needs during this challenge. After my walk I watched Modern Family because I love that show! Day 43 was a success.
