[*~Dazed~*]

I havent been eating any proper meals really unless ive gone out to dinner which sucks. But i have cut down on my bread (only because i am not at home and thus dont have like 4 varieties available to me haha.

Exercise hasn't been good because i dont like the idea of having to get off my arse and drive to the gym but i have been working quite a bit and try to go walking in the evening for around an hour whenever im not busy. If i havent gained any weight by the end of my housesitting time, ill be happy.

Anyway looky what I made
my mum grabbed the pretty one before i could frost it
I didn't make chocolate cuz i knew that if i did, they'd all be gone by now lol
but i have all the ingredients to make brownies right now and im so tempted to make them, cuz baking is fun

Edit2: btw glitter how'de u go with getting ur butt on the treadmill?

 

[clairegirl]

Your all going to be disapointed but i havn't had a proper meal since wednesday?? I've been living off gelato/starburst lollies/jelly babies/hubba bubba bubblegum/ and everything else my work has written off and given to its staff for the "big toy sale" to keep "our energy levels up" becoz a lot of us are working hours that are extremely weird. I feel fat and like my teeth are about to rot.

I start again at 1pm so I'll eat something good today, a proper meal and all and i'll make myself some dinner i can take to work

 

[glitterfairy]

bahaha I had to demonstrate "real" (ie not wimpy women's ones) pushups for my class the other day, and I could only do two - and they were really shaky! rofl

Since our meetup is on Wednesday I am now motivated enough to come back to this thread and post up, because I don't want to look or feel like a fat cow or anything

Breakfast - skipped (mm bad holiday habits...)
lunch - chicken caesar salad from a really good cafe in Chatswood, so good!!! I could only finish half!!!
dinner - a piece of KFC chicken, two egg tarts, some bread and cheese (YAY FOR BREAD!)

exercise - mm I've gone over some flamenco stuff we did in class yesterday. My Bulerias is getting better! I can also pull off a nice Fandangos and decent Tangos now as well... can't wait till upcoming workshop so I can learn more Sevillanas with castanets!


note to self - less gaming, more eat healthy and exercise, ok?


PS: What I really need now is to get around to saving up for the studio exam CD which has all the dance accompaniment on it (so I can practice my flamenco at home to music) or to meet and make friends with someone who can play flamenco guitar...

 

[marchetta]

oh ide try to stay away from dried fruit, isn't it extremely high in sugar?

Yep, the sun dries out all the vitamins, so they aren't as healthy as you may think.

 

[pb]

i like baking
baking + trying to not gain weight does not work lol
i make goooood cookies! yummmm =D (they taste like the betty crocker chewy double choc ones omg *drools* im proud but dammit i cant stop eating)
i feel like baking again right now lol.. but what can i make that doesn't use sugar and white flour?

i want to be a chef lol

 

[clairegirl]

Blarhhh im not going to reach my state at the rate I'm going.

I ate

Breakfast: 2 crumbed fish (baked)
Breakfast2: two slices of rasin bread + cheese
Lunch: 3 Weetbix, skim milk, sugar
Lunch2: low fat yoghurt
Dinner: won ton soup with crispy chicken
Dinner2: like 5 slices of watermelon, some chicken


I ate enough for three people today no gym because im soo buggered from being on my feet the whole day. I'll go tommorow

I have decided that if i want to lose weight I will have to excercise everyday of these holidays regardless! Omg I've only been to the gym 3 times since the end of exams! I was going MORE during uni!

 

[*hopeful*]

so yeh im with u clairegirl i have 2 exercise everyday for the rest of the month...
my meals are pretty alright, i just gotta cut down on the snacks

 

[glitterfairy]

mm I find I am far more "productive" when I have lots of commitments, eg uni/work etc.

Come holidays, my routine goes out the window! lol

I am pleased to announce that I've actually eaten pretty well today.

Breakfast - some tomato Twisted Delight from Baker's Delight
Lunch - a strawberry smoothie
dinner - some vegies and egg/meat

[glitterfairy]

All in all not too bad if you ignore the part where I kinda didn't eat for hours

[clairegirl]

i totally agree lynnie! all routine goes out the window!!

breakfast: egg whites, 3 slices cheese and half a ketoslim shake
snack: low fat yoghurt
lunch: soup and multigrain sandwich (chicken and eggplant)
dinner: 2 sausages, beans and steak stuff

again i think i ate too much

I went to the gym though, 500k between the cross trainer and treadmill. 10 mins on treadmill and 40 mins on cross trainer.

 

[clairegirl]

I was happy with my "fooding" today except the last snack I had and i think im still eating too much.

Breakfast: Steamed chicken and bok choy
Lunch: ketoslim shake
Snack1: 2 peices of cheese and a slice of devon
Dinner: steamed chicken and bok choy
Late snack (Grrr at me for having this so late at night!) tub of low fat yoghurt (but it has high carbs and another two peices of cheese

Excercise: Gym- 30 mins cross trainer and some weight training (focus on legs)
and then some holding excercises and 50 star jumps haha

Overall I'm not too happy with just the 30 mins cardio work i did today but i did spend 3-4 hours shopping today (i bought spanish/english dictionary , learn spanish audio help, Guide to Mexico, rusty bag and big jag wallet, it's deep red and looks funkily! i love it!) All for $150! I'm proud of myself! I can't believe I found a jag wallet of that size for 30 bucks! on clearance at myers! whooot! I stuck to my budget and I bought everything I wanted to buy! except for mascarra but mehh oh well, i guess ic an still use my old one for now.

 

[*hopeful*]

jags heaps cheaps now..... i so want to get a guess handbag in that salmon pink colour (i think thats what they call it) and its got the chunky guess keyring type thing attatched to it.....but i've got a billion bags and half of them dont even get used so yeh

ever since i've started exercising more, im eating bigger dinners so that sux hard.....who's ever self-induced vomited if u know wat i mean?

 

[glitterfairy]

I've got my eye on a guess handbag. They're prettyful!

And purging is baaaaad, hopeful. Don't do it! Your body makes you feel sick for a reason if it doesn't think it's bad enough to actually throw up, no reason to force it to happen - just stop eating and lie down or something
