I don't really have anything to say so I'm going to jump right into it.

Food Diary;

-1 cup of raw cauliflower
-2 tbspoon of chilli humus yogurt dip
-grilled tilapia

Day 19-Feb 26

Hellooo,,, so today I felt extremely gross all evening. My brothers insisted on eating Eddies Wok n Roll, and realistically...who can say no to that so I ate somewhat greasy food after a long time, and ended up puking. But I'm feeling alot better now:)

Food Diary;
-1 omelet with green pepper onions n tomataos and a slice of light cheddar cheese
-1 slice of whole wheat bread
-1 bowl of stir fried veggies with chicken breast
-1 plate of ;

-2 tablespoons of General Tao Chicken
-2 tablespoons of Chili Chicken
-about a handful of house noddles, i think thats the name
-2 tiger prawns

So today really wasnt the best of days, the excess amounts of salt and oil used in their food is kinda gross. But it was totally worth puking for. LOL

good nite!

Day 18-Feb 25

So I knew I'd again be going out to meet friends, which would obviously consist of eating outside, so I didnt eat a whole lot in the day.

Food Diary;
-1 glass of orange juice
-2 melba crackers
-1 chicken quesadilla (i totally spelled that wrong)
-1 small bowl of caesar salad

After eating Boston Pizza's serving portion i was absolutely stuffed! So again I drank out the contents through green tea and water

Day 17-feb 24

First and foremost to those who read my blog on a regular. I've slacked majorily on posting. i had to keeping a note of everything I ate tho.

Food Diary;

-1/2 glass orange juice
-bowl of fruit salad ( cataloupe, strawberries, apple)
-6 melba crackers with cream cheese
-1 small bowl of chicken soup
-1 small bowl of lentils soup
-1 bbq kebab

Day 16

So I totallyyyyyy went against my diet rules today; low carbs if any at all and no sugar.

I had a really good time today catching up with all friends so I guess it's all in good fun:).
-1 chicken shawarma plate, (no rice), consisted of their "to die for potatoes", lol, chicken, pasta salad and fatoosh, AND 1 whole pita.
-1 Moxie's bite of a brownie served with a scoop of vanilla icecream and whipped cream.
-1 Peppermint Tea
-2 Green Tea cups

So I stick to some other ground rules, I don't ever skip breakfast , but today while trying to reach the mall ontime to meet friends I rushed and didn't grab breakfast. Which resulted in me pigging out on the chicken shawarma plate..ahh I'm starting to salivate thinking about it. Haha..I'm such a fatty at heart.
But due to the unnecessary amount of fat I inhaled today, I didn't feel the need to eat anything else. I just felt so heavy, it was the first time in 2 weeks where I ate a normal portion of food. It was heavenly! LOL anyways good night! <3

Day 15

Hello Everyone!

I'm starting to really see a difference in how I look these past few days:). And most importantly I feel a difference:D. The scale isnt showing me what I want to see, but what is the amount of lbs you weigh really? Just a bunch of numbers, at least that's the way I see it. I could way 300 lbs and not care as long as I look toned and in shape. This is just my opinion, and the way I keep myself motivated. Anyways!

-1 orange
-1 apple

-1 bowl of vegetable soup

Day 8

Hey all!

I hope everyone's valentine's day was enjoyable. And if you were like me lonely today, just enjoy it while it lasts:P .

So today I saw a decrease again and therefore decided to be lazy on exercise and diet:( . I wasn't too bad just not what I'd normally eat. I did however decide at 11.30pm that I wasn't going to skip on working out. I usually workout first thing in the morning. Since I feel most energetic at that time. And also while doing the turbo jam workouts I don't feel my day's food is returning to my mouth alongside stomach acid. Lol I think that was TMI. Anyways, point is with the days food still not totally digested my workout wasn't anywhere near the normal level of vigourous ness. :( nonetheless I did complete the hour.

Today's food diary:
-1 egg while boiled
-1/2 glass orange juice
-1/2 an apple
-1 bowl of green salad topped with chicken mince meat and chick peas
-1/2 a chicken shawarma

I really didn't need the chicken shawarma since the pita itself contains uneccesary calories. But I guess I should let myself slip here and there. Else I'll just ruin an entire day if I deprive myself. Anyways, good nite !!

Day 7- 1 week down!

Hello All!

Hope everyone's doing well, and an apology for the late post. It's my mom's birthday so the family and I were hanging out.

Anyways, today I'm absolutely exhausted! I spent 40 mins doing the cardio party workout from the turbo jam package and then decided to do the 20mins ab jam disk. And to top it off there was swimming at UTM so i went for 2 hrs and swam laps for 2 hrs on and off. Every muscle in my body hurts! But |I feel exhausted in a good way...if that makes any sense, LOL! On the bright side, its been one week, and I've seen a decrease and lost 6lbs. Hopefully I can continue the pace!

Today's Food Diary;
-1/2 cup of orange juice
-1 boiled egg white
-1 small bowl of lentil soup
-1 green salad
-1 orange
-handful of almonds
-a small plate of chicken mince meat with chickpeas

I stopped counting how many water glasses I drink, including the amount of green tea, so everyone should just assume its the 8 glasses minimum and a 3 cups of green tea.

Happy Valentines Day!

Day 6

Hello,

I'm going to keep it really short today, I have stuff to finish off, and I'm already tired as hell:(

Good night all!

Day 6

Hi All,

I had a bit of a weird day today, I mentioned in a previous blog that I feel alot more energized these days. Last night, I only got 4 hours of sleep though and that NEVER happens, so I was a little concerned about that. So today's been a little bit of a haze, and a weird kind of feeling in my head. I really should be sleeping right now seeing as I want to wake up early tmrw, but just as I was reading to lie down I remembered I hadn't blogged yet. Anyways, I know this is a bit off topic but I went to the see "the vow" in the evening, it was an okay movie, made me tear up a bit but yeah.

Food Diary
-1 boiled egg white
-1/2 cup orange juice
-1 banana
-1 green salad topped with a 1/2 can of tuna
-1 mini tortilla stuffed with chicken and vegetables
-1 apple
-4 cups of green tea, unsweetened and no milk

As for results in terms of numbers, I've noticed a decrease but not enough for me totally satisfied with the results. Let's see where I stand on day 30!

Good nite!

Day 5

Hello,

Today's Day 5, and I have to express that I'm feeling  full of energy. :D I know it's been too short of a while to be able to see a difference in my physically, but I'm feeling much more positively about my current goal. There's a saying back home, " if you take a drop of water out of the sea, you won't be able to tell the difference", lol god know's how many drops it'll take to make a difference in me.

Today's food diary consisted of;
-1 apple
-1 orange
-1 boiled egg white
-1 handful of almonds
-1 bowl of green salad topped with chicken breast
-1 multigrain vegetarian pizza slice
-5 melba crackers with 1 tablespoon of ultra light cream cheese

I know the pizza slice wasn't a good choice,but I've decided I'm going to workout a second time. So I'm going to cut the blog short, before |I get lazy and try to finish another turbofire workout!

Take Care All

Day 4

Hellooo,

Today's Food Diary consisted of,
-1/2 glass orange juice
-1 apple
-3 melba cracker with 1 teaspoon of ultra light creme cheese
-2 green teas with 1/2 a teaspoon of honey in each cup
-green salad
-baked fish fillet
-1 bowl of chicken soup with 4 melba crackers

I did work out today which felt really reviving. Other than that a pretty boring day, with little thoughts to share.  I am however craving bread alot today, hence the excessive melba toast crackers. LOL. But past experience shows me that if I intake carbs into my diet, I generally don't loose weight.
So before I let my temptation overcome me, and I creep downstairs for a midnight toast snack. I'm going to call it a night!

Day 3

Hi...

So I've started to feel a little bit better. I don't feel as bloated as I used to feel, and the 'empty stomach' feeling has started to feel pleasant. I think I had a really good workout today, much better then the last 2 days, I successfully completed the 30 mins workout turbofire dvd without feeling like I was going to collapse in the middle of it. Someone who's pretty health conscious advised me to cut down on the excessive water. And I did read up on it, I'm finding a few doctors claiming it's true. So I'll stick to the 8-9 glasses.

Food Diary-
-1 boiled egg white
-1 kiwi
-1/2 orange juice glass
-salad (cucumbers, green peppers, romaine lettuce, a small cube of grated chedder cheese)
-small bowl of haleem (chicken haleem, lentils blended with chicken, into a thick soup)
-8 glasses of water

If any of you live around me, and feel they want to join me in the turbofire workouts at my house, feel free to let me know! It's actually fun once you get used to it!

Day 2

Hellooo..

So yesterday I got a little caught up in guests coming over and I never got a chance to blog.

Food Diary:
-1 boiled egg white
-1/2 glass orange juice
-1 apple
-fish filet baked
-steamed veggies on the side
-1 10cm square of lasagne...(ok so I just couldn't resist) :$ i did work out double tho!
after the day was done I felt extremely guilty for the piece of lasagne but i had been prepping for it 2 hrs before it finished..but it was soo worthh ittt!

no thoughts that I can remember from yesterday. :$

Day 1

Hellooo,

I think I successfully accomplished day 1. :-) but the start is always easy so maybe I shouldn't speak so soon.
Today's food diary consisted of;
-1/2 a pear
-1 boiled egg white
-1/2 orange juice
-1 big bowl of salad  ; romaine lettuce, green peppers, and cucumbers topped with 1 chicken breast
-1 apple
-1 small bowl of lentil soup
-3 round melba crackers
- I also lost count of how much water I drank, I stopped counting after 10 glasses.

I did make a terrible attempt at starting the turbofire workout today. I didnt realise how long it had been since I'd successfully completed a 30mins workout. My muscles are in so much pain, but all in good reasoning. I also decided I'm going to start drinking green tea, make an attempt to cut out my coffee and tea, no use in the extra sugar and milk in the daily diet. I'm also going to try to cut back on the amount of salt I intake.
Ok, time to call it a night!

Day 0- Someone give me the motivation!

Hi everyone,

So a lot of you will probably be wondering what the heck I'm doing with this blogspot account, and to answer your question it's for "Motivation". For those who've known me a while, you all know I've never been exactly the  girl with the perfect body. I'm on the heavier side and have always been. I've never been skinny, and I don't think I'll be the runway model ever. And I've tried it all! Herbal teas, slimming tablets, lemonade diets, cayenne pepper in water, gross looking and tasting all natural drinks that make you want to gag while consuming them, starvation, slim fast, and just about everything out there I ever heard about. It'd be nice if I could feel confident wearing anything I wanted, without having the constant worry of how many rolls of fat are visible the way I'm sitting at the moment. :$

The one time I actually started loosing a significant amount of weight and keeping it off was when I started regular exercise and healthy eating. But that was all the way in 2009, when my relationship with my now husband had started. I was so motivated to look good and impress! I kept at it for a good 4 months, dropped 2 pants sizes, went from an Xl to L, and had some kick ass confidence levels. But it was like over a week when I lost all the motivation, and landed back where I had started. I started seriously dieting and exercising before I went for my wedding in Nov of last year. I saw results but nothing hitting the standards I wanted. The problem was that once I came back from seeing my husband and having the long waited wedding, I started eating meals like it was the last one I'll ever eat and I haven't exercised properly a single day since my return which was mid November. I guess my biggest motivation in life right now is to look good for my husband and most importantly for myself.  I know how good loosing a few pounds feels, I have a good 2.5 years until the paper work comes through, and that's more then enough time to have a slow and effective weight loss journey, or so I hope!

I'm planning on starting my low carb diet from tomorrow and the turbofire workout dvds. I'm hoping by starting this blog, I'll be alot more motivated to keep going, since I'll regularly blogging I'll have a guilty conscious when I do slack on the exercise or loose the motivation to eat healthy. I'm going to be blogging a food diary for each day. 

So tonight being the 5th of Febuary 2012, I'm going to try to start back onto that from tomorrow! Currently, I'm at the point where I don't feel like looking in the mirror. But I'm hoping to change that by next week sunday night. So that's my goal for this week, to be able to look in the mirror and not see my face looking like a watermelon with 2 eyes, 1 nose and a pair of lips!

Goodbye unhealthy food I shall miss thee!
