13 weeks later...

...and so I haven't exercised seriously in the last 2 weeks. Been eating ok, not too badly but not too healthy either. Skewed sleep cycles lead to skewed eating cycles and I often only eat 2 meals a day and not enough fruit. I manage to get good amounts of veggies though.

I won't have time to exercise til Friday due to submissions and things. After that I may not be able to exercise as often as I like because I will have to start studying for exams and wrapping things up before I take off in Dec. Since I've not been eating too well I've decided to revisit this blog to get into a healthier state of mind. My thighs and tummy are telling me its time to watch out!

Other factors have also prompted me to get back on track with the diet and exercise. At my friend's bday this Sat her dad was being dad-like and telling 2 of us how important it is for us to have healthy habits from our younger years and not wait for health problems to crop up before doing something about it. Also, every time I pass the gym I remember I've missed all my last few yoga, pilates and aerobics classes and I feel really bad.

Then next to me in the library is this guy who's really getting on my nerves. First is his squeaky high-pitched voice with the most terrible Singaporean accent I've EVER heard coming from a person. Second is the fact that he's possibly 30kgs overweight and is eating an ENTIRE bar of white chocolate Toblerone! I have half a mind to just grab it and throw it in the dustbin for his own good. But there's no use now, he's already consumed half of it. There are probably other things which have led him to be the way he is now and who am I to judge a stranger?

So, its back to recording what I eat on this here blog. Today I got to school at 11:45, so went straight for lunch. Sweet potato soup with chickpeas and pear chunks, half a felafel and hummus wrap and home-brewed ice lemon tea at Soup Spoon. That should keep me going all day. I just had an apple and a cup of coffee. Tis big and full of sugar, so light dinner of fruits or salad later. The caffein kick is what I need to get my work done tonight. Plus there's nothing like hot coffee on a cold rainy day.

I find that since weaning myself off daily coffee, my body is more sensitive to the caffein. I need to drink less of it. And drink more water. My project for mobile and pervasive technologies was a water bottle that reminds you to drink water :) 4L a day for optimal health people!!!

Ok, that's it from me. Will update on what I eat tmr. This blog really helps me control my intake of unhealthy junk. Like on Monday I had a whole 500ml bottle of an isotonic energy drink for breakfast. WHAT WAS I THINKING? No more sugary drinks. I cannot and will not relapse into lethargy and bloatedness!!! Exams be damned, I need to get healthy again! Exercise actually will make my mind sharper. Ok need to get back to work!
