Day Two.

Random Notes first

  • Calories add up fast. Like faster than I ever thought possible. Apparently all those they-don’t-count-because-they’re-so-thin-and-tastey cheese slices do count. Horrid.
  • I have to eat a lot less than I thought I could. Booourns. I said boourns!
  • I’ve stretched my stomach out fo-shizzle. Like last night I was actually legit hungry going to bed, yet I’d eaten 1,400 calories. Shrink tummy! Shrink! #awardfornotthengettingfood
  • The Lose It app reduces the calories you’re allowed, as your weight decreases. I played around with the app, and get this y’all… to reach 125 pounds I’ll be eating 1,125 calories a day.THINK ABOUT THAT. It’s NOTHING. #greedy
  • I haven’t got my hair cut since last March. I’m going to go this weekend (<— highlight of my weekend fo-shizzle). Debating whether to get bangs again. Hmmm, thoughts?????
  • My Sony Alpha 33 (SLR Camera) DIED on me. Rude. So rude. So I spent the day battling Sony’s customer service centre. Lucky for me it’s still under warranty. Unlucky for me I leave for Australia in 13 days… Sony better bring their A-Game to fixing it.
  • My muscles are so weak (wait, non-existent?) right now. So much so that yesterday”s 3km run left me hobbling around today (don’t even get me started on the pain of going to the washroom).
  • I had three loads of laundry sitting on my bedroom’s floor #dontjudgeme. It’s now in my bedroom’s closet #judgeme.
  • Tomorrow I’m going to run 10k (6.2 miles). Bold, so bold, I know. I’m only doing it because I’m meeting my old running gang for said run and my pride is getting in the way. But I’ve gained so much weight and am soooooo fat.
  • Every time I tell someone I’m unfit and fat (which is always. welcome to my pitty-party. wa-hoo.) they say, “but you just ran a marathon and hiked to Base Camp, Mt. Everest. How can you be?” I then want tell them it’s because I have magic powers when it comes to food and weight, punch them in the face, and then go eat cheese.
  • I am obsessed with Pintrest. Like, we’re talking still up at 2am clicking and clicking and clicking. Although, my perfect life online was somewhat ruined by a quote I heard yesterday. Something like: Pinterst: every single girl’s excuse to start planning a wedding for a guy they’ve never met, planning for a house they will never afford, and looking for styles they’ll never be able to wear. That hit home a little, because hello truth-bomb! And on that note, Hey Pintrest, pleeeaaase make it so we can have private boards. I need to plan for my million dollar wedding for me and Prince Harry. Mmmmkay?

Okay, okay, back to today. No run (despite my LIES on The Twitter) because it was POURING rain, but-but-but I ate perfectly. If-I-do-say-so-myself.

Breakfast and lunch (I’m in an eggy mood lately)

Mom’s curry and Lose It App deets. I’ve actually hit my 1,400 calories today due to my snacking (apples, fudgesicle).

Now please excuse me while I go rub the dirt off my shoulders and take a hot bath, while watching yesterday’s Bachelor on my laptop while it sits on the toilet seat. I WISH I WAS LYING.

  2. thoughtsandloves reblogged this from one-twenty-five
  3. feistyred said: you need to eat veggies with each meal. They fill you up and have like 0 calories. Also, try eating a lara bar at about 4pm and plan for dinner closer to 7:30. A nutritionist told me to do this and it’s changed everything. I binge less.
  4. lostweightgainedlove said: sexy with or without bangs! You can’t lose either way!
  5. stateofactivity said: It’s so hard to get back into, I know your pain. Going to drag my ass out of bed at 6am to go to the gym tomorrow sounds like the worst thing EVER.
  6. worthatleast100words said: I do the same exact thing with the bachelor
  7. myheadandmyhearttoday said: having the same issue also. ate great, solid hour on the elliptical but ruined by six various pieces of chocolate….ugh.
  8. buildabetterme said: WHAT you eat makes an incredible difference in the amount of food that makes up 1400 or even 1200 calories. Eat junk, and you get 1/2 an appetizer before you’re maxed. Eat GOOD food, and you’ll be battling to eat it all! But you already know this:)
  9. runforbeer said: “I then want tell them it’s because I have magic powers when it comes to food and weight, punch them in the face, and then go eat cheese.” I literally just burst out laughing.
  10. kimberleycommonname said: do not get the bangs again!
  11. emilydoesscience said: hahahahha PINTEREST TRUTH. Also, toilet. Rock on and snaps for the bravery saying your weight gain.
  12. chanceuse-et-heureuse said: uh… why would you eat less than 1200 calories a day? no offense. have you ever tried going to mark’s daily apple or any primal/paleo movement stuff? they just advocate whole foods and good exercise. :)
