How to beat the munchies? It's beyond me. The other night I was absolutely STARVING (having eaten like, a salad about 5 hours previously) and then my housemate (the one who eats the most, I believe) sits down next to me and devours a bacon sandwich that smelt SO GOOD and a corner yoghurt which I LOVE. What does chocolate even taste like? I think I've forgotten. I tried so hard to hold off (normally I'd have a cup of coffee to beat the hunger cravings but I don't like drinking it in the evening) and I very nearly succeeded... but ended up cracking and having a bowl of cereal. And last night... last night I got stuck into the houmous and crackers. Right before bed. Why?
The only good thing I can say is it's so refreshing to only have healthy food in the house... I seriously can't remember the last time I ate anything that could be technically classified as junk. Earlier I was pigging out a bit (more houmous and crackers, hoorah, and fruit) and one of my housemates said to me "do you always eat like this, or are you on a diet or something?" - I laughed, and said casually "I always eat like this. I'm a fussy eater - I don't have a lot of interest in food". I'm NOT a fussy eater, and I certainly am dieting, but the latter is true - I don't have much interest in food. When I go food shopping I tend to just stare around and get bored easily, and return home with basically nothing, and forget cooking. Food doesn't get that much love and attention in my eyes.
You think that'd make it all easier... but it's still bloody hard.
Been to the gym a couple of times now. I can see myself getting addicted and wanting to go every day... I'll try to hold off from that. I definitely won't go on Sundays as it's liquid fast day, and I'd probably just collapse on the treadmill (which could have dire consequences, ooer... I remember hearing a story about a bloke who was messing around on one and ended up having all the skin ripped off his leg), but I'll probably be going a lot. And I feel like I can relax my food habits SLIGHTLY if I have such a regular exercise pattern. Speaking of, my stamina's increased like hell since I was last a gym bunny... before I could barely stand 3 minutes running on the treadmill (SHOCKING, I know) but yesterday my friend wanted to stop after 20 and I probably could've kept going! Hooray!
On other news... let's see, a super hot guy from my Halls has started hanging around my house a lot (he's good friends with my housemates). It's nice to just get to perv at him for a while. What code name can I give him... he's got some of the best arms I've ever seen, so I'll call him HotGuns. My lord, he made his appearance when I walked in on the kitchen proudly announcing I'd found the binbags (and I mean VERY proudly announcing, as in practically skipping in and throwing my arms in the air)... did it get very hot in there all of a sudden, or was it just me? I won't let the fact he threw up in one of our loos last night deter me, oh no. He's not Boy, but he's a good replacement to fancy and flirt with until Boy makes his appearance. Yummy.
I'm terrible, I know.
Oh, and there's this stuff at the gym which me and Female Housemate are considering investing in... it's called "Sculptress" and it comes in pill or shake form - I think it's this stuff that increases fat burn and metabolic rate, and supposedly it's good before exercise. It's for women and I think it's just an aid to get into shape... how good is that, though? It's only available for members to buy and although I'm generally against diet pills and all that malarkey, this sounds like something that could be seriously beneficial to my weight loss efforts... hells yeah, boi! Here's a link - http://www.maxitone.com/weightloss?gclid=CLO2h-yp_aMCFeFc4wodNmhTJQ <- it costs baaare money in general but it's dead cheap for gym members. Score!
Gonna love you and leave ya now.
Q x
The gym = a drug. It feels amazing, once I get into a good workout I can just go and go for hours and it feels amazing. Until the next day, where I feel like I've stretched out every muscle in my body haha. Congrats on the new determination to work out.. it definitely helps weight loss.
ReplyDeleteBe careful with pills, find out the active ingredient and research it thoroughly before you buy anything... the majority are either dangerous or a complete waste of money.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the gym! It's definitely addictive though lol
