Day 1 of 50 (Part 2)
Finally, it was dinner time. A reason to eat.
I decided to try this restaurant that I've been eyeing for quite some time. It's Superlicious, located at Suntec City Mall.
They only had 4 soups left, beef something, chicken and corn, cream of mushroom and minestrone. I, ofcourse, chose minestrone because it sounds healthy, plus I like minestrone.
I thought the soup bowl was small, so I added 3.90 to turn it into a complete meal. I added a cheezy tuna sandwich (in foccacia bread) with a side salad of fresh fruits in mayonnaise (or some sort of cream that I don't recognise).
It was a filling meal, though I felt guilty because I should have just ordered the soup. To compensate, I just drank half cup of iced tea because I don't want to take in too much sugar as well.
All in all, it was a pretty successful first day.
Day 1 of 50
I ate 2 packs of Rebisco Whole Wheat Crackers for breakfast. While waiting for those to be digested, I lazed around and read a book I bought yesterday from the Carre Four book sale at Suntec City.
About 30 minutes after, I went to the gym and did my usual routine - treadmill, legs push, arm weights, rowing and stairmaster.
Man, all those eating sure slowed me down. I was still able to do an hour of continuous workout, but then I was a bit dizzy on some parts (mostly while doing the treadmill and stairmaster).
After gym, I went back to my room to rest a bit. While resting, I ate a few pieces of gummi bears, like 10.
Then, for lunch, I went to Novena for my favorite fish soup but without the rice. *Sob* =(.
I felt I had to treat myself, so I bought a stick of sliced fruits ($1.20) and a slice of papaya ($0.70).
Why and How
Why:
While I was on leave from work, I let myself go and ate all the things that I liked. I knew that I was going to do this diet thing. So, in a way, I ate and ate to gain weight. I wanted to know if I could lose it all within a time period, just like what celebrities do. Well, minus the big bucks, south beach diet, personal chef and personal trainers, that is.
How:
1. I'm going to cut down on a lot of stuff. From now on, NO more (or super minimal):
1.1. Junk food (chips and sweets like chocolates, cakes, milkshakes)
1.2. 'Fastfood' food. Goodbye to McDonalds, Mos Burger, KFC, Burger King and Carl's Jr.
1.3. Fried food.
1.4. Carbonated drinks, even those Isotonic blah blahs.
2. I'm going to lessen intake of rice and carbs (white bread and pasta).
3. I'm going to drink lots of green tea (which is free in the office pantry, woo-hoo!) because it supposedly helps with the matabolism.
4. I'm going to the gym twice a week, go jogging twice a week, and do daily small exercises like squats, push-ups, tricep dips and crunches. And probably some aerobic moves too, to help loosen up the muscles.
