Back to work

Had a good long weekend and was lazy to update. Also ate a bunch of unhealthy food which I am not proud of. And a half a box of popcorn for dinner last night while watching Coco before Chanel was not the worst of it. Fast food was had for lunch. It won't be had again for another week.

Today was such:

Breakfast - 1 cup of Milo (not good, but had no milk at home to eat cereal with - must purchase)
Lunch - Biryani rice + Pakoda + Bhindi + Channa ; Drink - Banana milk shake

And for dinner I intend to finish the leftover minestrone soup plus the grapes sitting in the fridge.

Yesterday was hectic - bought cooking supplies. Just need to buy rice, oil and vegetables and then me and R can start cooking!

Exercise - went for a nice long walk on friday night. Went shopping yesterday. Not enough! Will be carrying groceries up stairs today to burn some calories.

Stupidity

Monday:

Evening snack - Oatmeal raisin bar + 1 small square of Lindt chocolate (couldn't resist!)
Dinner (7pm) - MOS veggie burger (I was reeling from hunger,

Yesterday:

Breakfast - cup of oats
Lunch - noodles+egg+2 veggies + lemonade
Tea - Green (1 cup)
Dinner - Potato chips!!! -> what was I thinking??!?!?!

So yesterday I had this terrible terrible headache in the evening from all the number crunching and monitor-staring I was doing at work. My headache was so bad it was affecting my ability to think clearly, since I did the stupidest thing ever and went and watched a MOVIE which temporarily distracted me from the pain, but left me with the most terrible migrane ever at 9pm when I stumbled back home. And I ate a whole packet of chips (which is worse than popcorn, but at least it tasted real good) which was full of MSG and other terrible chemicals not to forget the fact that it is nothing but fried potatoes.

Didn't drink any water. And not a spot of exercise either. No wonder I'm growing sideways and have skin problems.

Today:

Breakfast - (nibbled intermittently between 8:00am and 11am) 4 slices of raisin bread
Brunch - 2 tiny Famous Amos cookies which were left over from one of the Guest meetings + a thin slice of LN's homemade Kueh Lapis cake. Cannot say no lah!

Lunch - ??? Probably brown rice and veggies. Need to get in 2 fruits as well.
Dinner - SALAD. And if I eat otherwise, I am going to be very disappointed in myself indeed.

Water - at least 10 mugs by the end of today.

Resurrection

Half a year later and it's high time I revisited this blog. So in my last semester of college, I joined the fitness classes again and took up hip-hop dancing too. Unfortunately I wasn't as dedicated to my diet and fitness routine as I was 4 months earlier, and towards the end of the semester things got rather loose and undisciplined.

That was followed by a summer of total and absolute laziness when it came to exercise, and the stress of job hunting which didn't do me much good.

I sporadically go for walks around my neighbourhood now, but it isn't very regular, and isn't as effective as working out on a cross trainer where I can regulate my pace and not kill my knees running on concrete. I clean the house once in 2 weeks. I've also been eating too much unhealthy, oily food like fried rice and noodles and spring rolls. Sometimes I finish work and get back by 8 and end up eating dinner closer to 9. My tummy is bloated and my ever-trusty thighs are telling me it's time to get healthy again.

So in order to be absolutely honest about what I'm eating and how much I'm exercising, it's back to this blog! Hope to update it every morning or evening, so I'll start with yesterday.

Cereal and museli with coffee for breakfast/lunch. Roasted grams. Minestrone soup for dinner. Managed to safely stay away from the chocolate and tiramisu cake in the fridge! 3/4ths of a big bottle of water.

This morning I've had a cheese and egg sandwich and a cup of coffee. Later!
