Wow, would you look at that - one hundred days left! Very exciting!

Ok, so I have been eating very well over the last couple of days and I can feel my body getting used to the portions. Last night, I did feel really hungry for something. But I controlled myself and had a little yoghurt after dinner. The trick is just to control the urges to want to eat. I know that the calories I have been eating over the last couple of days have been low but I am still in stage 1 of my plan so I have to maintain this in order to see the weight loss. In any event, my body feels great and I don’t feel bloated after my meals. I just feel satisfied. I am also working on tasting my foods and just enjoying what I put in my mouth instead of just gobbling stuff up.

In terms of food, I suspect I might be getting bored of the carrots and celery. But, I actually enjoy it cos its crunchy and filling. But I decided that this weekend, I will make some vegetable bean type of cakes, like fish cakes that can be lightly oiled and cooked in the oven. Hmm… maybe I will even put some pics up…

Ok… some off the topic stuff. Watched a cool make up tips video on youtube from askmemakup.com and I really liked it cos there were so many vintage inspired themes. I enjoyed the Audrey Hepburn theme, looked really pretty and I think I might consider similar makeup for my birthday. The false eyelashes is something new to me, haven’t tried them before. Talking about the Hepburn’s, my fav is actually Katherine. I loved her in Adam’s Rib. It was classic and really funny. Also, about my birthday, I am thinking of changing the plans a little. Well, you see our apartment is tiny and I don’t know if I want to have friends crammed in there. So, I am considering instead just rather saving the money for a trip to Annecy, France. My fiance loves the bakeries there and I can shop for makeup! :) And of course, we can buy a bottle of champagne to celebrate :) It will be a romantic birthday. But, I will have to wait and see how things go with jobs and money etc.

B - 1 scrambled egg (no oil) chives and salt (ok i know salt is bad but I added just a little for taste) , 5 carrot sticks, 5 tblsp fruit yoghurt with 1tsp home made strawberry jam

L - 1 carrot, 1 celery and left over yoghurt from breakfast which i couldn’t finish

D -  haven’t eaten dinner yet but maybe some red beans and pasta sauce … not sure about the past actually i will just skip the pasta as I want to maintain a low carb diet this week. I dont have any whole grain pasta … will go shopping for that. 

5.19 Spent about an hour at the gym. Did 20 min treadmill and then 2000m on the rowing machine. I haven’t been on the rower in a while and it was actually fun, challenging but fun. I was a bit naughty before the gym as I weighed myself … I weighed in at 76.7 .. well it moved between that and 76.8. Now before I weighed myself, I wasn’t too sure about going to the gym but then I did and I was soooooo motivated to go burn some serious calories! Felt great to see that number on the scale :)
