My room smells like doughnuts.

I bought some to take home because I’m nice like that but the smell so good. And like, they were still warm when I got them. I’ll be good though. 

It’s too hot to do any exercise today (because I don’t have time to shower before I leave) but apparently it’s not so bad at home so I’ll probably go on the cross trainer tomorrow. If my sunburnt legs will let me. I’m also going to weigh myself tomorrow and I’m kind of scared. Because, I am fairly certain I have lost weight, because although I’ve had a couple of not so great days, I’ve still been really pretty disciplined and my clothes are looser and everything, but I don’t know how much. I don’t wanna see that in the last 6 weeks I’ve only lost 2lbs or whatever. Because I know I put some more on last time I was home, but urgh. I didn’t set a specific goal so I wouldn’t be let down if I didn’t reach it, but I know I’ll still be disappointed if I haven’t done as well as I hoped. I’ll blame the alcohol :P

Had a cider and a (frozen yoghurt and fruit) milkshake on the beach.

Glad I chose the healthier shake option but the cider was pretty calorific. I’m not too bothered though. It was a nice day. I’m not going to let this healthy thing stop me enjoying myself. There’s no point in that.

discoveringalexandria: weight-a-second: This is Nikole and I. We are in an old pair of PJ pants featuring Sponge Bob. These particular pajamas were my favourite when I weighed 350 pounds. They were tight. In fact, at one point, I had to retire them because they were too uncomfortable to sport during my slumber. Today, I can fit one of me and one of her in each leg with a lot of room to spare. A year and a half ago— I never would have believed this was possible. I never thought I’d have lost 150 pounds. I never thought I’d have gained confidence. I never thought I’d be happy. I never thought I’d be proud of anything I had done. And, now, I’m proud of everything I’ve done and I know that at the end of my weight loss journey I’ll be able to say the same. You are amazing!

Does anybody have a good yoga workout?

Like, for complete beginners who can’t even stand on one foot without falling over? Anybody? Please?

I’ve been eating more the last few days.

I dunno, I just feel kinda better about it. Like, a couple of weeks ago I was getting a little too obsessive and yeah. But the last few days, I’ve been eating about 1400 calories (today I’m on 1350) and burning about 2-300 of that, to bring my net to about 1200. I just feel like I’m more in control now for some reason. And I really just want to weigh myself. I’m going home this week so I can Friday morning.

I might go have a glass of the awesome juice I need to finish before I go… And then maybe do 10 minutes more exercise later if it cools down a little. It’s been super warm today. I wore shorts to my lecture. The shorts that are now kinda loose, even though they were tight when I bought them :D

Lunch was awesome.

Leftover (vegetarian) chilli from last night, in a tortilla wrap with an insane amount of salad. Been looking forward to that since yesterday. 

And dinner shall be a stuffed roasted pepper, stuffed with couscous, mushrooms, and cheese, with salad and peas.

Food today rocks. 

I’ve also rediscovered my love of sprouted beans, and have left enough calories for a tortilla with houmous, salad and sprouts in case I get hungry later. 

And I had granola for breakfast, and have left space for an apple and a little bit of chocolate later. All for 1200 calories. 

You really don’t have to miss out to eat healthy.

Struggling not to eat everything in sight at the moment

Haven’t had much of an appetite the last few days and suddenly it’s come flooding back. So I’m trying to distract myself watching stuff and will go to bed soon I guess. 

I’ve also planned out all of tomorrow’s main meals, and it leaves me with a pretty decent snack margin. I just have to go to the shop and buy stuff now, but I’m quite excited for it.
