Midnight Snacking

When Scott was here, we were always snacking around midnight. Because he eats better at night, and well… we practically stay up the whole night and wake up close or past noon.

I always cooked 2 packs of noodles for myself and another 2 for him. After he left, I keep on opening 4 packs of noodles from habit. But it’s alright, because Taba, my dog, recently has been eating noodles with me too.

I think I gained 10 pounds while he was staying here because most of what we did aside from travelling was eat a lot. I need to check out herbal fat burners. I’d say something healthier and cheaper like walk my dog more but it’s been raining a lot. So not that.

Schedule Change, Lifestyle Change

schedule-change-lifestyle-change

My new work schedule, at least for this month, is 2am to 11am. And what a world of difference is a few hours. When I get out of work, the mall is open, shops are open, there’s sunlight, and I feel my day longer. I just had my rest days and I felt like I had 3 days off instead of just 1, like with my 9pm to 6am schedule.

On my way home today, I passed by SM and they had the stands for ready to eat fruits and salad and what not. And I thought of an idea… recently, I haven’t been doing my no-rice-in-the-morning diet because I get home around noon now. And since the Salad Bar is already open when I get home, I’m thinking of just getting salad on my way home every . day and have a veggie diet for lunch. Maybe some fruit. It should be easier now since the mall is open. I just need to get into the habit of it.

I really would like to take supplements along with this diet, as I’ve mentioned over and over again, but I’m not sure if there really are weight loss pills that work that I can easily afford and obtain. So far, Fitrum seems to have stopped working on me and lately I was drinking weight loss tea, and it seems to have stopped working as well.

*sigh* I really just need to get into the habit, but it’s so hard. Not getting into the habit is a vice. hahaha

Diet Update

diet-update

It’s been about a month and a half since I started my no-rice-in-the-mornings diet and so far I’ve only broken it twice. And it was only last week that I did.

I don’t really feel any effects yet, just that I know I’m not overstuffed before I go to sleep. I know I was thinking last time to maybe take something like a supplement or diet pills but I keep being lazy to get some. I could ask my Pop but I always forget.

Well, the people I’ve consulted said that it will be slow since I’m still eating rice in the evenings and for “lunch” but hopefully, I’ll be able to cut it down more. In fact, I’m thinking of not taking rice in the evenings now, before going to work.

We’ll see how it goes~

Diet! For Real!

diet-for-real

With people recently getting engaged (Momon and Ros, high school classmates) and clothes quarterlife crisis, I’m starting to think of dieting seriously. I know, I know! I’ve said this at least a hundred times… but this time I’m doing it! So far, I’ve been into it for 2 weeks already. There’s no noticeable change yet. I’m going to take this slow.

What am I doing?

I’m starting with breakfast which is actually my dinner.

I’m not going to eat rice anymore in the mornings when I get home. I usually feel so hungry after work that I could eat 2 cups of rice, depending on how good the food for breakfast is. I overeat until I’m satisfied. So, I’m switching to healthy sandwiches for breakfast. Well, just 1 sandwich. Two slices of whole wheat or multi-grain bread. Tuna or Egg spread (I know, the mayo -_-), and if available, other meat like bacon or whatever’s there on the table. AND! Lettuce, Cucumber, and Tomato.

I don’t really like bread, and I’m not into sandwiches because I get full easily. So instead of eating a mountain of rice, I just eat a sandwich, I’m limited to that and I won’t want to eat another sandwich unlike with what I sometimes do with rice. If for some reason I still feel hungry, I just eat a couple of more slices of cucumber and/or tomatoes and/or some lettuce.

I’ll start with breakfast! I also walk more now. I’ve got such a sedentary lifestyle that when I went out with Lori last time and played a few games in the arcade, my arm went sore. I’m thinking of incorporating maybe some weight loss supplements in this breakfast diet, so when I wake up, I can do the exit dance. I don’t want to take them after dinner because I don’t want anything funny happening to me at work.

We’ll see how long this will last!

Exercise Machines

I was going home one day and while stuck in traffic, I looked up at a building and I saw some people exercising. I looked up some more and saw that it was a hotel. And I thought that it would be nice to have your own gym or workout place right in your own home or even in your own room.

I wonder how much those goes-under-the-bed things cost… I remember seeing a workout bench and it cost like 3 or 4 K… I need to diet !!!!

anyone have any ideas about trampolines? how about a mini trampoline? I saw this site selling mini trampolines and it looked relatively cheap. I thought it would be much more expensive. They even have trampolines with a net around it, but those are expensive.

*sigh*

Graduation March is just looming around the corner and I still don’t have clothes, and I feel like I’m continuously bloating up.

Uguuuuu…

Healthy Diet

I went to SM North today to watch The Spiderwick Chronicles. It was a pretty good movie. I was literally on the edge of my seat in some parts of the movie and trying hard not to scream or cheer on the characters. Watch it!

After parting with Sarah and Lori, I bought some groceries. I bought some fruits–honeydew and musk melon–and greens like lettuce and something else. And non-fat milk. and Coke Zero.

and a lot of instant noodles. xD

Kind of defeats the purpose, I know. But I haven’t really had the time to eat the said instant noodles. So it’s alright.

I bought some diet pills from one of my teammates before, and I haven’t taken any of it after the first week and a half. It should be an everyday thing… but I always forget. It’s that fat-burner thingo I don’t know.

BUT AT LEAST!!! I try to eat fruits and vegetables… I eat salad whenever I have the chance. =_=” I’m still getting fatter. *sigh*

Graduation is just around the corner. I already have to start having a dress made. T_T It has to be a Filipiniana dress. Why can’t it be just an ordinary beige/ecru/white dress so I’ll still be able to wear it one day? Why does it have to be a Filipiniana dress I’ll never ever wear ever again? A waste of money. I’m starting to wonder if I should even attend it. Oh welllll… *sigh*

Diet. Diet. Diet.

Noodle Addiction Might Need Rehab Too

I’m going to go for a medical checkup tomorrow. I don’t really want to, but I have to. Pop told me that with my job, I could go for even twice a year. Not that I’m excited about it (the med checkup).

One of the tests are for drugs. Oh noes! What if they find out that I’m a druggie! And my drugs are noodles?! Would I have to go to a drug rehab center? lol.

And so I wouldn’t experience withdrawal, my noodles would be going from thrice a day to twice, to once, to every other day, to every two days, to once or twice a week, to once a month, to once every two months…then I’d …

probably be dead by then. XD

Diet? Diet… DIET!

Matt told me about this drug thing called Ephedra which had bad side-effects. It’s a dietary supplement for immediate results in slimming. I take some dietary pills too for slimming but it’s green tea extract (Fitrum) and I always forget to take it… I end up taking a pill like once a month because I always forget it. But now that I’m talking about it…. lemme take one for a bit. …

Matt doesn’t really mind me being a “little” heavy on the side and doesn’t really like me taking these pills… but the clothes want me to. so… yeah. :D

I gained weight

These past two weeks, I’ve eaten more noodles than I have in the past 3 months. It’s not like I have cookware in my room… only a microwave oven and microwavable bowls. Although, it WOULD be fun if I had an electric stove in my room… and maybe an oven (not a microwave oven). I could cook eggs on a non-stick pan … not use oil… or or bake a cake! yes! Carrot cake?

But as it is, my room is already cluttered and could hardly walk around. I have to move the computer table and coffee table around sometimes to get to places.

Papa said months ago that they’d get me a new bed…. Heh… No new bed still. Oh well.

Oh, back to gaining weight.

I’ve been eating oatmeal at home for three days now, though I eat rice when I’m at school. I don’t really want to come across as too weird. I’m already labeled as the not-so-good student-teacher… I don’t need the weirdo tagged on me as well.

I need to diet diet diet! Crash diet again? Actually, some of my clothes had gotten a little loose last week, and now it’s okay again. *sigh*

Noodles.

Clothes

Tomorrow night is Dine & Jam night once again. Once again, I don’t have anything special to wear. Not that I need to dress or go to a prom and would need the advice written about ugly prom dresses… But I would like to wear something really presentable. Like what I would wear to my Student Teaching classes starting June.

I’ve started buying clothes little by little… slowly. Too slow, in fact. I’ve only bought a week and a half’s worth of really presentable clothes. Six blouses to be exact. And two slacks. I was hoping I would get the job I applied for a couple of weeks ago sooner so I could actually buy clothes.

Maybe I’ll wear that button-up shirt I bought before… I’ll have to iron again. OMG. I’ve ironed clothes twice for this month already… after not doing that since high school.

Ahh~~ How nostalgic. I’d be up at 4 or 5 in the morning because I still had to iron my uniform, plus do homework and stuff. XD

Anyway…. Dine & Jam tomorrow. I’m gonna get fat again. :[
