| Hey all! Oh man I was so out of it, healthy-living-technically-speaking. I have gone over that in my last 2 posts so I will not again. All I can say is that today I ate very healthy, I think. Breakfast: oatmeal snack: raisin/grain cookie lunch: 3 slices of bread with hummus, light cheese spread cream cheese whatever they call it, and 1 with a slice of diet cheese. dinner: salad with grilled veggie burger thingy. I still need more structure, like having something in between lunch and dinner, and more protein. And ofcourse I need to start my workout routine back up. But eating well is a good start. Seriously, I was gaining back the weight I lost! NOT COOL. I have to say, winter time, when its cold and dark early, makes me lazy, especially the dark part. Makes me not wanna go outside in the evening. GRR. I did get a gym membership at the uni, so at least I can easily blend in working out in my daily life...(so that I wont go home, have dinner, and have to leave the house again). Yay. How are you? (you being anyone who might read this?) Oh. And I had my third brazilian wax so my nether regions are on fire. I have to do them more often but its nice after - no prickly hairs. And the girl, the 'Wax Angel' as they call them, was from Vancouver, so we had a nice chat. She moved to Amsterdam a year ago, is a classical singer, but decided to do a waxing job parttime as well. Told me I have VERY fine hair....LOL wooohooooo. And that I am a good waxee - I don't scream etc. LOL. Well aren't those some nice compliments. Anyways. Weight loss goal by the end of this year: 67 kgs. I am 70 now. (Yes, I was 69, damn me) I had a goal of 65 kgs before, but 5 kgs in a month, if it is to be actual fat loss, is not attainable. So voila. Taking this slow, focusing on regaining a healthy life. Bye people. | | |
| OK so Im not 'back on track' with the healthy lifestyle yet, but I am getting so sick of my unhealthy ways that Im mentally ready. Writing down all the foods I love: -Fruits: Any, specifically strawberries and blueberries for breakfast etc. -Proteins: Lean chicken, beef, cottage cheese, (greek) yogurt, Mini Babybell (preferably lowfat)... - Complex carbs: wholegrain anything: pasta, lentils, couscous, bread, crackers. (Complex carbs are ok but trying to have em in moderation and preferably first half of the day) - Fats: Salmon, olive oil, little bit from the foods mentioned under proteins. I know this categorization is not that good but its more to remind myself how I used to eat.. and yeah fruits and veggies tend to be more expensive than junk, but if I stick to a plan, then I think overall I spend less on food (because: no evening trips to the grocery store for crap foods) Im almost back up to 70kgs now; my first incentive is new Nike trainers for the gym/running when I weigh 68kgs. I have a gift certificate of 60 bucks for the nike store so yay. I dunno what the next incentive will be, but it will be at 66 kgs. I know that after that I wanna lose 4/6 more kilos but I will now focus on 66 kilos because losing weight by lowering body fat is hard as it is, so setting huge goals is not realistic. I wanna workout hard 3 times and week, and besides that run or walk at least half an hour. (Wish I had a dog here, that would be helpful) Right now its hard to incorporate this in my college life but I am a lazy fuck and I just gotta do it! | | |
| Hey guys, Im still here...been a while since I last posted. Been a holiday in between. Wasnt as good as expected due to my personality trait of not being able to enjoy stuff. Didnt gain weight even though food wasnt that healthy - I was really active. Last week of holiday, I got a severe cold. Made me not hungry. This lasted when I got home..I got to 68kgs....when my appetite came back I went nuts - still in this phase. Whereas before, when I was with the nutritionist, my eating would be real good until after dinner... I really did get better though, like the binges would be less frequent, and less in quantity. Now though, it feels like before-before...(like, before april)....I eat SO crappy.....If I keep this up even a few more days I will definately be gaining weight soon. I just stepped on the scale, and it read 71..now it must say its evening so I can detract a kilo for sure...but that still means weight gain. I was doing so well, working out frequently and such...I HATE myself for ruining what I accomplished. So Im putting this down in order to motivate myself to get out of this shit. Like, its ok to have phases where you lose motivation to go to the gym, as long as you eat healthy. But I dont. I go to the grocery store every day to buy cookies and chips. But this was the last day. I know it only takes a day or 2 to get out of this cycle and back to healthy eating - btw, when I am NOT eating healthy, my desire for healthy food also disappears...weird because when im continously eating healthy I enjoy it. So I should make some plans, bring some structure back into my life, even though i must spend a lot of time on studying and work...if I have structure I can do this all. Schedule for tomorrow: Uni 10-5pm 6.30 to 7.30 bodypump class. even though I think I should do more weight training and less bodypump classes, it will be good to get back into it. Food schedule: Breakfast, 9am: vanilla yogurt and an apple (I was really into eating oatmeal but now I cant stomach it, guess I overdid it before..and I don't have granola so just plain) snack: 11 am: Liga evergreen... I think this is product only sold here, but its like an oat/grain/raisin cookies : high in fibre, low in fat, moderate in sugars Lunch 1pm: 1 sandwich with peanutbutter, 1 sandwich with sliced chicken snack: 4pm: orange (or other fruit) Dinner (probably after bp class): steamed broccoli and veggy burger If I can manage this I will be happy with myself. Assuming I am between 69 and 70kilos right now, I am going to try to lose at least 0,5 kilo (1 pound) a week. I am going to work out on Monday, Thursday and Saturday at the gym and ofcourse try to squeeze in more...I definately want to start running. I am not sure if I will do classes (bodypump and RPM) or train by myself (harder to motivate myself for this)....I was told by several trainers that (free) weights training is definately the most effective for toning up. OK happy to have gotten this out. Now I gotta do it. | | |
| I was eating VERY healthy all day....then after dinner: binge. 1600 cals. Since a very long time I tried to purge...but I can't. I guess Im scared to push through.. so now Im sitting here, stomach aching... :'( SUCH a waste of a good day. | | |
| Ugh, I don't wanna say I 'fell off the band wagon' but it kind of feels like that. I went to the nutritionist last week for a weigh-in, I was at 69kgs, that made me real happy. However, ever since, I haven't been eating clean. Friday I had a dinner with coworkers, that was a major bust. Saturday I was over at a friend of mine, dinner was pretty healthy but then they had dessert and limoncello to go with that...it was GOOD and it didnt go for a second portion when they asked me but...argh! I didn't drink that night though when we went out. Sunday was ok until some part in me snapped, I felt binge anxiety again, and I ate an entire tub of Haagen-Dasz. Today I wanted to start eating clean again, but couldn't resist a damn triple choc cookie and after that I guess I was in 'it doesn't matter anymore, I fucked up already' mode, and I kept eating junk, like chips, chocolate, 2 large (greasy) cookies, etc. Those are exactly the things I am trying to get over!!! Anyways, I go on holiday August the 13th, which is in 5 weeks. Assuming my actual weight is still 69ish, I am hoping to get down to 65kgs. That is the weight I was at for a loooong time, but haven't been in 4 years. So, 4 kgs in 5 weeks; with eating clean and exercising HARD 4/5times a week, I think it is possible. But having eating things with sugar for a couple of days, it seems the addiction is back. However, I KNOW I can do it. To help me along, I bought a (expensive) scale just now, which also measures body fat etc. Hope it is accurate and otherwise Ill return it!! Today, I wont have dinner seeing as I already consumed so much food, and in an hour I am going to the gym for 1 hour of bodypump and at least 45 minutes on the cross trainer. I HATE the cross trainer but I am hoping to compensate for all the calories. If I go to bed hungry, I will feel better.
