I Suppose it’s Gotta be Portion Control

So Current Measurements

Bust: 38

Waist: 33

Hips: 41

Weird, but my waist measurement is so big right now, I suppose I need to do a lot more ab work.  Anyway, so given the state of diet food in Korea, portion control is the only way I reckon i can lose the weight.  So here are some new facets of my diet.

 Facet 1:  In the morning, eat only half a roll and save the rest for an afternoon snack.  Or eat something else small for breakfast since I know I’ll get another snack between 9:30 and 10.

 Facet 2:  Eat dinner between 5 and 6 and don’t eat anything more for the night, maybe some herbal tea, but that’s it.

 Facet 3:  For every book I read, I must do some sort of exercise video first and the videos are cumulative, so if I do 2 one day, that means I can read 2 books.

Facet 4:  Eat only small amounts of food for lunch, nothing excessive.

Facet 5: No buying Pepero (kinda like Pocky) since I can’t be trusted with it in the house.

Facet 6:  For dinner, get a sub with no cheese and eat only half the quantity of chips in a bag and save the rest for the next day.  This will save money and calories. For pizza, buy only one slice and eat that.  Hmm and one of these days I am seriously gonna try other that food they sell at those street vendors. It smells really good. There’s one that smells like pancakes and looks like it to.

 So rewards, I like rewards a lot.

 Reward #1: Every exercise video of at least 20 minutes duration entitles me to read one book.

 Reward #2: Trip to Dongdaemon to buy some shoes and clothes when I get down to a size 10. Those measurements are B37, W29, H40.  I’m actually close with my bust and hips, it’s just my waist thats big.  In Dongdaemon I will buy a new pair of exercise pants, 1 pair of work style pants, 1 pair of new flats or small heals, and 1 jean skirt.

 Reward #3: Trip back to Dongdaemon for shoes and clothes when I get down to a size 8.  Those measurements are B36, W28, H38.  For those measurments I get a dress, a pair of jeans, a fashion shirt, and another pair of shoes.

Reward #4 Final measurements of a size 6 because I surely would never want to be smaller than that. Those measurements are B35, W27, H37. For that my reward will be a trip to Jeju for the weekend if I’m still in Korea.  So I need to lose 3 inches from my bust, 6 inches from my waist, and 4 inches from my hips to get to my goal size.  For this trip, I will need some new clothes that will be determined at the time. :)

 So wish me, luck, I will update my measurements every Monday to keep ya’ll informed, but an sort of busy with other things like living in a foreign coutry so it may take awhile.
