notes i'll start weights again monday. and no more buffets...until next week. lol. ok i'm going to try to say no. or at least make that my only cheat and stay healthy otherwise.
do NOT look at my current diet for inspiration. if anything it should be like one of those pictures where ure supposed to find whats wrong/missing. so really, im providing a nice learning tool. lol
although im not anti-carb or anything. i gotta start stayin away from simple/processed CHOs and take in more complex CHOs. the boys here are giving up sweets starting next week, so that helps.
been working out at nite. the plus side is it gives me more time to do my stuff. plus i have a lot more energy so i can work harder. the negative is that it completely cuts into my day. so my schedule is messed up to fit in sleep and studying. oh well...
my bananas are going bad. hence the excessive potassium intake.
i avoided THREE buffet events this week. my sleep cycle is out of whack (3-4hrs/nite) so i nap in the afternoon. ppl here know im lazy, so when i say im going to nap afer class...they know i cannot be swayed. lol.
*pats self on back*
(aside: i do know getting a good nites sleep is important. so...i shall have to make some adjustments).
yeah...the pho was alright. the one in newcastle is actually better than the one in london. just not very flavourful. so i had to add hot sauce. i never have to do that back home. the workers are actually pretty fresh. so no mixing of accents yet. the nurses in the hospital however...now filipino-brit accents. thats messed up
lol..'working'. yeahhhh...i'm all about the basil 4 life
yeah mary. plain cold cuts.
day 12
workout
cardio: 12 min - stepper (intervals 2x) 10 min - row machine
whoa...guess who just remembered this thing existed again.
i'll just recap my days:
- weekends are a bust. no gym and eat whatever's near by. - back to buffets, but not as often as before - do go to the gym consistently during the week. but its all cardio to release stress - exam crunch time is upon us. so...that means a lot of running counteracted by sugar.
all in all...my metabo has just allowed me to be at a better standstill. but still a standstill. so i'm gonna have to use the three weeks back home to jumpstart my body again and hopefully it'll continue while on the beach.
dunno how feasible this'll be w/ home cooking again. so i'll def have to focus on my activity. and maybe ditch rice. lol.
I guess this is a "there and back again" type blog. I once was fat, then I was skinn(ier), and now once again I am fat.
I've made the decision (once again) that I need to make some changes, but this time, make them for good. I am married now. I have a house, a wife who loves me, a great family, an amazing support network of friends, and a dream of starting my own family. I have reasons... more then ever before, to take my life back...
