According to my calculations...

I had 330 cal today (max):

- 80 from the yogurt in the morning
- 100 from the cookie (please Lord, make it so that it didn't have more than that!)
- 150 from the plums (since I ended up eating a little more)

The goal was 300 though, meaning that I have failed. However, I did work out a little today, so I think I burnt those 30 extra cal. Also, I am pushing all my values up, so it is possible that I actually had less calories than these.

Anyway, tomorrow is Day 4 so I should have 400 cal! Nevertheless, I am thinking about cutting it down to 300 :) 

I wanna be skinny so so bad. 


I need tips

Please tell me what you do when 
you feel you are about to binge. 
I need all the tips I can get!

I am a disgrace

I managed not to eat from 9.15 to 6.15 (9 hours) but I just ate like 5 or 6 Sunsweet dried plums, which I think have around 90 cal. I am a disgrace. I am totally unworthy of all your encouragement. You are all very strong and beautiful young woman, and I am just a fat girl lacking self control.

Optimize your Time, Exercise while at School/College/Work

That is right m'ladies! Why not burn some extra calories and tone up some muscles when we could be doing so? I am not a big exercise fan, nor a very active person, but the truth is that working out really does help to shape our bodies into perfection.

Conviced? Good! Then, here are the three very easy (and very discreet) exercises I have been doing today while sitting in class:

- Hip Flexion: Sit tall with the abs in and lift the left foot off the floor a few inches, knee bent. Hold for 2 seconds, lower and repeat for 16 reps.  Repeat on the other side.
- Leg Extension:
Sit tall with the abs in and extend the left leg until it's level with hip, squeezing the quadriceps. Hold for 2 seconds, lower and repeat for 16 reps.  Repeat on the other side.
- Butt Squeezes: Self-explanatory!


When will I stop cheating myself?

Okay so, I had packed 4 pieces of Mariani Sun-Ripened Mixed Fruit, no sugar added (20 cal) to eat during first break at 10am, and 1/2 cup of CVS Gold Emblem Chicken Broth (100 cal) for lunch. Together they would add to the 80 cal I ingested this morning so that by the time I got home at 4pm I'd still have 100 cal left. Now wasn't that a genious meal plan? But of course I had to spoil it all!

During 1st period, a friend of mine offered me a homemade chocolate chip & mint cookie, which I accepted!! Can someone please explain to me why the hell did I do that? Because I cannot understand! It wasn't a big cookie, actually it was kinda small, but still! I have absolutely no idea of how many calories it had, but I am sure it had too many! Why am I such a pig? Why can't I keep my mouth closed? Do I want to stay this weight forever, or worse - gain weight? Do I? Because if I do then I am doing a great job!

...

Okay, lets calm down... There is nothing I can do about it now. However, there is still hope! The cookie couldn't possibly have 220 cal (the amount of cal I had left for today!) so all I have to do is fast for the rest of the day. I'll bin my fruit and the chicken broth, and I'll try to come up with an excuse for skipping dinner. 

Please girls, give me strengh! I really want to successfully complete Day 3!

DAY 3 - Thank you & Breakfast

Have you noticed that there is always some kind of note attached to my breakfast post? Haha :)

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for being so wonderful. When I started this journey, only a couple days ago, I was alone. I was strong, but sometimes I lacked motivation for I had no one to cheer for me. Now I have 12 beautiful followers and a couple more girls that comment on my posts all the time. It means the world to me. It is great to know that there is people out there that understand, approve and support my choices. It is great to know that there is people out there who read and care about what I have to say. I'll always be here for every single one of you. You can count on me. 
Now for the breakfast. Today is Day 3, meaning I can have 300 cal. My breakfast will be extremely small, yet super delicious! Wanna take a guess? 

- 1 Dannon Lit & Fit Yogurt (Raspberry) = 80 cal

Total Breakfast: 80 cal
Total today: 80 cal
Calories left: 220

I am pretty sure some of you guessed it! Teehee! I've been eating these a lot lately! They are really great and come in many different flavours. Right now I have a stock of Strawberry & Banana, Peach, Vanilla, and Raspberry, but there are many more available. You girls should give them a try! ;)
