Today...was a disaster and I own it
I surpassed Pie Night, somehow managed to keep calories in check while eating out, passed on multiple free food events, was on day 9 of being binge-free…and succumbed to the comfort and plethora of tasty foods at my home. I tried to be healthy at first…asked my mom to make cabbage soup, ate tomatoes, green tea..but then there were so many foods I haven’t had in ssoooooo long. One...

Sodium Cleanse
I had Korean food for the first time last night with my roommates and it was really good! My dish seemed healthy, consisting of one egg, kimchi, vegetables, tofu, and miso. However it was sooo salty and I knew I would gain some water weight the next morning (and I did). I hope the gained water weight goes away soon! But to move it forward, I’m following this easy cleanse formula:
Things...

Said no to free bagels!
Just needed to document my small feat, yet significant win nonetheless, of passing on warm, Einstein bagels. I knew that one bagel was around 320 calories and would wreck my diet. It would have taken all my lunch calories and I would be starving and frustrated. Instead, I let other people at work finish them off for me!
I’ve worked too hard to give it all away for just a bagel. I’m...

need advice for eating out
Tomorrow, my roommates and I are going out for dinner. The problem is…
We can’t go until 8:00pm…And we probably won’t start eating until 9:00pm. SO late! I don’t know if I can make it without eating 2 dinners.
We are going to a Japanese Ramen place that doesn’t give you nutrition information.
My day starts at 6:00am…I eat breakfast around 7:30am, snack...

Changed Goal Weight
I changed my goal weight from 90lbs to 93 lbs. I remember feeling pretty good about myself at 93.5 lbs and looking cute in almost anything I wore. Also, I just don’t want to be obsessive. However, this time I’m going to maintain and tone my entire body!
I’m gearing up obstacle one of this week: PIE NIGHT. One slice of custard pie is around 221 calories…and I still have...

Food for Thought
Can I just say that eating healthy has given me a creative outlet much needed for my college routine! I know my food pictures may not look that appetizing…but I’m having so much fun picking out colorful vegetables, baking fish, making rock hard fiber-ful muffins…Even my ideas of fun have changed: I can’t wait for next friday afternoon when I can go to Henry’s market...

"If you're going through hell, keep going."
-Winston Churchill
…I’m hungry. Dinner is in 2 hours. Still have to study and work until then. sighhh eating lunch too early not only screws up my eating plan, but also distracts me from my responsibilities.
GAHHHH only 321 Calories left and it's just 11am...
I had lunch way too early and now it’s going to be hell to try and wait until 5-6pm to eat dinner…with my remaing 321 calories. I did work out today but I DO NOT want to eat by my calories…What to doooo? I still have to study for 4 hours, go into lab for 1.5 hours. So hopefully I can quench my impending hungry with lots of green tea and water.
Oh the good note…I’m...

Rendition to Regular Jogging
Jog while holding a weight jump rope, one handle in each hand. You can roll the rope around your hands to shorten it so it won’t get in the way while you run.
Benefits: Works your upper body while your run. It’s strength training so it works your muscles and promotes beta-oxidation (fat burn).
Then…Jump rope after your done running! I jump-rope through the Hopscotch squares...
Calling it a day AND within calorie budget :D
Finishing my Green Tea w/ Pomegranate, brushing my teeth, and studying for the rest of the night. And I’m within my calorie budget!
Overview:
Caloric Intake: 1209
Exercise: -350 (45 minutes on the elliptical + plank)
Net ~900 Calories (I say approximately because there has to be some error in calculating calories eaten and burned) I hope this is accurate though!! I’m super proud...
