I know it's been over a week since I last updated... This weekend was a bit busier for me than usual because I had to attend a workshop (it was for 2 days and 1 night). Then the day after I got back from the workshop, I had plans to meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. Thus, the sudden abundance of things to do kinda forced me to put aside some of my weekend hobbies (such as blogging + reading + writing). In addition, I usually blog only when I truly feel like it. Although I do want to use it as a source of accountability, I also use it to vent, and I'd like to keep this activity a pleasurable one, not one that I feel "forced" to do.
Anyway, right now I feel like updating! Before I had to go to the darn workshop (Thursday morning~Friday evening), I kept up with the exercise and ate moderately sensibly, I suppose. And during the workshop, I knew I wouldn't be doing any official exercise, so I made sure I stuck to small meals (so my tummy would feel comfortable and NOT bloated).
Admittedly, the no-exercise mode stuck till today (which is Sunday), but nonetheless I did do it today. Even though I didn't initially feel like it. Oh, and another thing I'm proud of..... I repeatedly fought the urge to order a large pizza. Seriously. I think ever since I got back from the workshop, every single day (Friday night to today, from 11 a.m. to about 8 p.m.) I have had to really try to talk myself into cooking my own meals instead of just ordering in food. I guess since it's cold out, I wanted to feel the warmth of already prepared food. Anyway, I ended up cooking for myself the entire day instead of succumbing to my fleeting and rather annoying cravings, and I am very glad that I did.
Breakfast:
-pb + jam with banana on one slice of bread
-Thai tea
Snack:
-muesli with peanut butter
Lunch:
-tomato sauce (with natural pumpkin + peas/carrots mixed in) + 2 slices of cheese on one slice of bread
-Thai tea
Dinner:
-50/50 white/brown rice with assorted side dishes (including tofu + Spam)
-glass of chilled green tea
Exercise:
-5 miles
On top of cooking for myself the entire day and making sure to exercise, I did the laundry AND pampered myself with a moisturizing facial mask. Ah, I also packed my lunch for work and am just relaxing right now before I call it a night. :)

- I am a 20-something year old woman who's hoping to reap something positive from honest blogging. I intend to fully live--that is, live an un-apologetically pleasure-filled life, while remaining principled and trying to keep in mind what God desires for me.
Oh yea you shouldn't feel forced to blog. You should only do it when you want to. I love to write, so when I have something in my mind, it's not difficult for me to type away. But there are days when I really don't feel like writing anything lol.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you seem to exercise regularly. It makes me feel so ashamed... Good job. Big results must be coming !

Elle - Fortunately, I think I've been successful in making regular exercise a habit. My main hills to tackle is eating right (controlling the ridiculously unhealthy cravings for chocolate and sandwiches and bread and fried foods and creamy icing, etc...Have I made my point yet? =P), tracking calories, and keeping portion sizes under control!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the regular feedback! I really do appreciate it.
