Monday

Oh how Monday creeps up so quick. Already thinking about Friday.

8:00 a.m: Few almonds

9:30 a.m: Protein powder and water

Girl problems: Wearing lipstick makes me drink less water. Bad.

12:45 p.m: Veggie frittata and salad. Some bread that came with it.

FYI. I'm on 'no sugar' right now. I want chocolate.. nowwwwww. I know I will have a bit of sugar tonight cause I'm gonna have the last of that stuff I made yesterday but after that, annoying city is ahead.

3:00 p.m: Tea.

6:45 p.m: Another piece of the chickpea thing from last night. No more sugar after this!

7:30 p.m: This. Well, not all of it. Half- ish. Veggies, tomato and spaghetti squash. Parm cheese. I was still hungry so I had almond butter with Melba toast.

Weekend

Took some pics off my phone and figured, hey, I'll put them up online. Meh.

Once again, I love the mirrors in the H&M change rooms. Another one of my hair and *shock!* a pic of me from the back! I'm actually feeling a bit better these days. I think I might be back on track with losing weight. I know I have my down falls with food but I think I pick it up again quick and working out regularly is helping. I think mishkebob will agree, pants suck. Hah. Whenever I wear jeans - I feel fat. Second I put on a dress over some tights, it feels sooo much better.

Ok, this is getting super girly. Here.
I also finally bought a cabinet thing for my "China". I am loving it! :) I have had this thought in my head lately of like "Am I acting like a 27 year old should?" Then I snap out of it. Who cares. Should a 27 year old have a cabinet full of cupcake stuff? No. But this one does.

Sunday

11:00 a.m: Few almonds

Exercise (11:30 ish a.m): I ran... OUTSIDE! Not tooooo bad for my first time attempting almost 5k. Got the Runkeeper app and am a fan.
1:00 p.m: 3 scrambled eggs and broccoli with parm cheese. All with vegan butter.
Sugar addiction continues. I made these. Kinda sorta healthy but not really cause it uses brown sugar.
Who'd think the main ingredient is chick peas!
Exercise (6:30 p.m): 30 mins on treadmill. 10 running.

7:30 p.m: Protein shake. Rice milk, protein powder, berries

9:30 p.m: Cup of green tea.

Saturday

Hmm, to remember.

Almond butter on Melba toast
Food below at parents house
 Sweet Easter bread
Some raspberries
Few cookies
 A sub park waffle with a scoop of ice cream

Fail!

Friday

I thought this week was going to be a lot more stressful than it was. Hmm.
I put my alarm on this morning to work out. Did not. Ugh.
I've also not gone to bootcamp for like 2 weeks. I took a break and I love it too much. Not lugging a gym bag to work twice a week and not waking at 5:30 is amazing. But, I can't get used to this. Back at it next week. I also texted my trainer this morning saying I need more sessions. Summer is almost here and damnit, I WILL for once in my life enjoy it. Yes, weight has everything to do with enjoying summer for me. Shut up.

9:30 a.m: Almond butter over Melba toast.

1:00 p.m: Vegan meal. Look.
5:00 p.m: Chocolate. Fail.
7:00 p.m: Protein shake. Coconut milk, frozen berries, protein powder

Thursday, April 26, 2012

Me.

I love the mirrors at H&M. When did my hair get this long?
Oh, I dyed it too. Sorta. "ombre".
The rare pic you'll get of me. There.

Thursday

9:30 a.m: Apple with almond butter and cinnamon

Today is one of those days where as soon as I left the house I thought "I look like an idiot, how have I let myself wear this?" I feel dumb. Do I look like a clown? That's how I feel. I mean, I really like the colours and all but I can also see a little four year old wearing this same outfit. Booo. I'm gonna hide all day. Doesn't help that I have lunch plans so I have to go outside more than normal.
Go ahead, judge me.
12:30 p.m: Lunch with old co-workers/boss. Good times. Miss them. Pub so salad was the best I could do. I actually really liked it.

4:00 p.m: Protein powder and water.

Exercise (7:00 p.m): 30 mins on treadmill. 10 running.

8:00 p.m: Rest of the cauliflower hummus with melba toast. Two hard boiled eggs, broccoli with parm cheese and vegan butter.

9:30 p.m: I can't sty way from sugar. This was my concoction tonight. Small bowl. Rice crispies, almond butter, agave nectar, coco powder. Mix.

So, as per my last photo... I was feeling self conscious today with the outfit I had on. I loved it... I was more nervous about what other people thought. Then, I got on the subway to go home and the chick below walks in. I was like whoa, pattern and colour city. At first I was like 'omg, how is she wearing that!?!" Then, after really looking (and being creepy and taking a photo) I realised all the details in her outfit and decided I loved it. That bag has little skull beads over it. She had kick ass black wedge pumps and overall, it did work. I sat there and thought, fuck. Who the hell cares what other people think? I looked around and everyone was wearing grey, black, blue... borrrrring. Why can't someone wear leopard pants? Why can't you just show that you're not gonna follow the norm? Anyway, she made me feel ok about the fact that sometimes I make interesting clothing choices and that I should just rock it. So, I'm rocking it.

Bizarro world me.

I stumbled upon this blog.

I am finding this chicks style amazing. Like, she's me. There is not a single outfit of hers I don't love and could see myself wearing. Not to mention there were a few in there that I do own.

Who are you mystery lady?

I won't even get started on how much she has my dream hair.

Sunday

I was determined to wake up semi earlier today after yesterday seemed like such a waste of a day.

11:00 a.m: Some of the rice crispy treats from yesterday.

Exercise (11:30 a.m): 30 mins on treadmill, 10 running. I had to get out cause pervy old men started to roll in and I felt uncomfortable. F being a girl.

Am I the only girl in the world who tries to purposely look ugly at the gym? My gym pants are fitted, but, that means fitted at the butt. So, let's be honest - they make butts look good. Hah. I hate it though. I try to wear shirts that cover my butt but even then, I feel uncomfortable. I wish my building's gym was women only. Or, I need to buy super ugly baggy pants. Baggy pants it is!

I'm in rant mode, it's on. I also don't like my buiding's gym cause it's full of men trying to one up eachother. It's a small space so you all see what everyone is doing. I hate that men are all "Yea, look at me do a bicep curl with this 15 pounder". F you. I can pick up that 15 pounder just as well as you can and not look like an ass doing it.

I'm crazy.

4:00 p.m: Lotsa stuff. Hold on to your seat. Made the zucchini fritters again. They look brown but it's all veggie and some flour :P. Had it with Greek yogurt. Mushrooms in a pan with coconut oil. Then I made cauliflower hummus. Loved it! I just took cauliflower, garlic, salt, tahini, olive oil and blended in the food processor. Good stuff.
8:00 p.m: Went out with friends. Chinese food. Didn't need it. This place is nutso though. We were 7 people and left having spent $7 each. WTF. Variety, good food, good stuff.

9:30 p.m: Ice cream, ok?

Ugh. I hate this site cause when it gets glitchy, it's un-fixable. So, link doesn't work for the protein powder. Ugh.

Last class for this session. Not that I'm stopping or anything, I'm back at it on Tuesday. Potential new instructor though which kinda sucks. Just when I got used to this one. My friend there is also not going to do it anymore. Lonellllly.

I keep skipping breakfast. This is new. My whole life I've always had breakfast or I'd pass out. WTF. To be fair, I'm not doing it on purpose. It's me not getting groceries and there is literally nothing to eat. I have to go tonight, somehow.
