So I’m finally back on tumblr. The visit with the boytoy was incredibly fun.
So I was supposed to be interviewed for a job today, but alas, the guy didn’t show up. I know right? Dis bitch put makeup on and everything.
My mum and I are on this new diet. It’s basically replace one or two meals a day with these chocolatey protein shakes. They’re Jillian Michaels brand, and only 100 calories per scoop. I blended one scoop with a bunch of ice and a teeny bit of milk, clocking in at about 120 calories. Seriously, it kept me full from 6 pm last night to 10 am this morning. I felt really sick to my stomach though, so maybe it requires getting used to. All in all, I would recommend it. I do ask my lovelies to make sure they get all their fruits and veggies too if they decide to try it.
And fitness wise, I may be joining a gym with mum; we’re going to check it out this afternoon. I highly recommend the myfitnesspal game for the Kinect. It kicks my butt, and burns some serious calories. I’ve also been doing yoga and running more often. So far, 4 pounds lost since coming home. Of course, I’ve temporarily gained it all back with the rich food people keep shoving at me. Now that the celebrations are over, I’m looking forward to going back to my normal eating habits!
I also got contacted by my future roommate. I’m pretty excited about living with her.
And finally, who’s going to the Poison concert this Friday? I propose a Tumblr meetup. I’ll be there with my crazy mum. It’s gonna be fun.
TL;DR:
Diet/exercise recommendations, Poison Concert, meaningless babbling.
Have a great afternoon, darlings!
Talk to me.
My awful attempts at J. Crew styling.
P.S. - Don’t mind my legs trying to explode out of these size 2s! Fact: a runner’s legs cannot be contained.
Right and starting from tomorrow I am actually going to put myself on a strict diet because UGHHHHHHHHH. Seriously some of the photos from last night are horrific.
I need to lose a stone before I go to Beni methinks, can’t stand the idea of hanging out with my mates in only a bikini in this state.
Just realized since I already had a boca burger today, I probably shouldn’t have a tuna sandwich. Too much bread! So maybe I’ll just make tuna and eat it out of the bowl. hmph ok
So if you haven’t noticed, I am expanding to more than just fitness and weight loss and eating.
I’ve officially ventured into fashion and beauty!
I have two new people helping me out, Hilary and Lisa.
Hilary is going to be helping take care of the fashion and beauty portion with me and Lisa is going to be in charge of the Recipes.
You want to help out too you say?
WELL OF COURSE YOU CAN!
All you have to do is submit something related to fitness, healthy eating, beauty and or fashion. Of course we will have to go over it and make sure it fits our ideals of living a healthy life style, but we know you are all wonderful.
What do you think of the improvements I’ve made to my blog, are there any other pages you’d like to see?
Day 02 - How tall are you? Do you like your height?
i believe that i am either 5’4 or 5’5. im not sure which one.
personally i dont really care much for it. i honestly feel short for my age. this past school year(my senior year) i was even mistaken for a freshman-junior(more than once)..not too happy about that. but whatever. doesnt matter anymore. i still have time to grow. sometimes i even think that its my weight thats holding me back a few inches. who knows, only time will tell.
So I started my weight loss shake diet today. With the legit shakes & not just the chocolate water, so Ive taken in 300 calories today so far, and I feel gross.
Not with myself for eating that many calories, because it isnt at all, and with the way I look at it, Im going to be taking in way less than 1500 calories today.
But I cant just drink these things alone, Its like I suddenly started a crash diet and Im crashing… hard.
& its that time of the month where my appetite goes up and UFHHEWENSO.
I better lose this fucking weight in 4 weeks or else im throwing all this chocolate stuff on them.
a snack, dinner & shake to go. plus work from 5-930. blegh.
i could go on. i could tell you all what i have eaten so far today (strawberry & peaches protein shake & a veggie burger with turkey bacon & swiss cheese), but i am watching tangled. so i gotta go!!!!
I don’t know if everyone out there loves Alton Brown from the Food Network as much as I do, but if you don’t, you should. He does a wonderful show called Good Eats, in which he teaches the science and history of a particular food while teaching various recipes. Watch it! You’ll feel like you learned so much in half an hour.
Well, anyhow, Mr. Brown recently did an episode on how he lost 50lbs without any crazy diets. He called it the “four list method” and it’s a brilliant healthy eating hack. Here are the lists:
daily
fruits
whole grains
leafy greens
nuts
carrots
green tea
3x/week
oily fish
yogurt
broccoli
sweet potato
avocado
1x/week
red meat
pasta
dessert
alcohol
0x/week
fast food
soda
processed meals
canned soups
“diet” anything
That’s it! By “obeying” the four lists, combined with exercise of course, he lost 50lbs! That’s a huge amount of weight! While I’m not exactly looking to lose weight, but rather to tone up and be healthier, I still love the concept and intend to give it a shot.
Might make a tuna sandwich in about an hour and a half. Since I just ate lunch and I don’t want to be scolded by another anon for only eating 330 calories in a day.
