I swear my mom is trying to kill me.

Intake:
l: 1/2 a sandwich- i have NO idea. i'll guess 150 cals
snack: 2 pickles with mustard- 0 cals
d: caramel mochiatto (short)-100 cals
anddd homemade pita chips with spice dip- 50 cals
the other half of that damn sandwich...- 150 cals ish
total: 450?

Ok, i wasn't gonna have the other half of the sandwich, but i thought i was going to the gym and i wouldve burned like 400 cals +!! Sadly, the vampire diaries premiere was on...and THEN they go and decide to air the premiere of the secret circle. WTF now i have to work out before dinner on thursdays! Although, it was kind of worth it haha Ok, but seriously, my mom is literally trying to kill me. See, i usually eat lunch after school gets out so i dont have to eat that horrid stuff in the cafeteria they call "food". Today she decided that pizza would be nice. NO NO NO NO im sure its at least 400 calories. AT LEAST. luckily, i avoided it and she got sandwiches instead. Still not the lowest cal thing, but whatever. and THEN she fucking brings home a doughnut for me. NO NO NO NO! i was able to resist the wonderful gooeyness...i planned on only having coffee for dinner. I love how great my plans turn out. I feel like a fucking porker, like a little piggy some fat hungry guy with a hairy ass is chasing. *shiver*

oh, and just wondering...how many calories do you think someone my size would burn in a 10 minute mile (jogging) ? If anyone knows, go ahead and let me know ;)

Tips #2

6. Drink a shot of vinegar before meals. It curbs your hunger and eats away at any fats you take in. Don't slip it slowly when you take it in, especially if you can't handle the taste of vinegar, just chug it down. (If vinegar is too harsh and you like pickles, take a shot of pickle juice, i usually take them just because i love the flavor) If your stomach is sensitive to harsh flavors like vinegar, drink some water afterwards. It won't be less effective,it will just soften the burn in your tummy.

7. Don't use laxatives. Just don't. Don't even consider it. Put them down! Yes, you'll lose weight when you take them but you arent ACTUALLY losing any weight. See, all it does is make you shit. Do you know what you lose when you shit? water. That's right, all that weight you lost was water weight. Your body NEEDS water, to survive, to LOSE weight. So stop taking laxatives, they basically don't do shit. (Well, besides making you go shit)

8. Chug cold water after dinner. Especially if you tend to eat after 7 pm. Anything cold will raise your metabolism. If you're like me, and you get the munchies after dinner while youre sitting on your ass in front of the tv, chug that water (flavor it with some 0 calorie flavoring). It will keep you full and help burn that food off you just ate. Food doesn't burn well after 7 pm because your metabolism slows down around this time due to the lack of movement, so CHUGGGG.

9. Allow yourself a binge every so often. I know what your thinking "WTF your crazy". But I'm not. Have you ever stuck to a diet and suddenly you stop losing weight? It's called a plateau. The problem is that your metabolism is used to your diet and exercise and burns calories at a constant level. That means you shouldn't gain or lose. To get off of a plateau, you need to binge. Binge on good things like vegetables and avoid things like meat, bread, dairy. This way, your body will say "oh wow, there's a lot more food in here than usual, i guess ill have to work double time". It'll get your body running again. You should also change your workout routine or increase the speed or distance to encourage your metabolism's activity.

10. Soup, soup, soup. It's one of the BEST things you could eat. Not only are there usually vegetables in it to promote nutrition, but it's practically all water. Anything low cal and watery is good, right? One of the best soups i've found is the Progresso French Onion Soup. It's really delicious for being canned and has only 50 calories a serving. Which means, you can have the whole can and only take in 100 calories for dinner. how awesome is that? Also, i would recommend pelmeny, a russian dumpling in broth. Soon, i'll do a post all about these delicious, low cal morsels so you know what they are and where to get them.  

Weigh In Wednesday.

Drum roll please.....

I LOST 3 POUNDS!

Im so happy and proud of myself. Now I'm back at my starting point.

About 2 weeks ago i was binging like crazy, i ate SO much oily stuff, so much bread,

so much cheese. But every day is a new day, and i'll take it one day at a time with a grain of salt.

Last time i weighed myself, i was 108 pounds, and now im at 105.8.

I was 103 on my vacation because i stayed at my cousin's house in Portland, and they aren't

the type of people to let you raid their fridge. But that's totally ok. My goal is to get to 103 by next Wednesday. This is really great because i had cookies last night, so im proud to have not gained anything.

Every time you reach A new goal, you get this surge of positivity, hope, and will power.

So keep working hard ladies! I know you can defeat hunger and cravings!

I'll be posting an update and the tips n tricks that i promised later today.

Meal plan for today:

Breakfast: 1/4 cup cheerios+1/4 cup soy milk vanilla

Snack 1: Pickle

Lunch: Salad mix with tomatos and cucumbers, honey-dijon low fat dressing

Snack 2: Egg white (hard boiled)

Dinner: 1/2 a rice bowl of rice mixed with black beans and cilantro, other half broccoli

anddd maybe some soup

I'll give you the calories for these later on :)

Why the hell was there a lizard in my kitchen?

Alright, so today my intake sucked. I had a slice of pizza for lunch and for dinner, a salad, 2 small pieces of cod. But the bad part? My mom made these tortillas fried in oil, and then covered and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. I had 2. They arent that big, but still. Anyway, in the afternoon, my younger sister and i made pelmeny (dumplings). The rentals took a day trip to Napa, so we were alone. When we were rolling the dough, i spotted a weird brown thing on on the floor. My sister looked and we both started screaming like banshees and jumped on the table. My older sister, Shai ( I have 3 sisters, just a lil' fact) came running down to the kitchen. We tried to decide what to do, and she suggested to whack it with a pan...Shai's not the brightest bulb in the box, let me tell you. We ended up sweeping it outside, but it was one of the scariest moments of my life. i even cried. I mean, California isn't like Florida, where you wake up to get your morning cup of joe, just to find a mother fucking alligator in your kitchen, sippin' your OJ. Floridians would be like "Oh hey Steve, hows the Mrs.?". We're city girls. We don't have lizards around here.

Ok, so i binged a little.

The rents decided to get pizza for dinner after my sisters asked and there was no way to get out of it. It was delicious, but i'm disappointed in myself for breaking down and having some. Luckily, i didn't have much for lunch. Even worse, mom decided she might take us girls down to monterey for a day out. Every time we go, we always get clam chowder at this famous restaurant on the wharf.  I was like FUCK. Chowder isnt exactly the healthiest and lightest thing to eat, ya know? I guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope she changes her mind! Here's what i had today:

Breakfast: A nectarine? not sure what it was, but it seemed edible. Tasted like shit, oh well. 60 cals?

Lunch: Half a piece of bread with a teaspoon of jelly, teaspoon of the skippy(YUM). 60-80 cals

Dinner: 3 small slices of thin crust pizza. On the bright side, it was thin crust. dont judge me! haha 400 cals or under

A full blown binge for me is about 800-1000 calories, since around 300-400 cals is my daily standard.

Here's a short thinspo:

Nice Legs, right? Hopefully someday...;)
