Said by good ol' Walt Disney. I got a poster today packed full of inspirational and memorable quotes said by inspirational and/or memorable people. Quite a jolly read.I guess that's what I'm doing, talking... and not really doing.
Alas, today wasn't that much better than yesterday. I'm rubbish at monitoring calorie intake. I daresay I'm unworthy to even blog at this point! The main culprits of today... a bowl of branflakes (95 cals) and a bowl of pasta with tomato sauce (probably about 200 cals). So in total... 295 cals. If that had been it, that would have been fine! But what else did I consume? Quite a bit of chocolate soya milk... someone a while back recommended alpro soya milk, so I grabbed some of that during my jaunt to Tesco, and it's definitely much less calorific but tastes good... so thanks! But I had about 3 glasses today, probably. Plus a few rice cakes with houmous again. What are the calorie totals? Who knows... arghh.
Ariana, you asked about houmous... if you're American or from some other country you might know it as 'hummus', but it tastes AMAZING. It's made out of chickpeas (which I also love) and you can use it as a dip for breadsticks or cucumber sticks... or, in my case, rice cakes and crackers! Yummy.
You also asked about what kind of dance I do... currently I do ballet, tap, modern, street and lyrical, but I've been known in my lifetime to do ballroom, Latin American, classical Indian, contemporary, jazz, African and probably some others which I can't remember. I loooove to dance.
Anywho.
So my food isn't too spiffing, AND I didn't have time to go to the gym today, but tomorrow shall consist of a hardcore workout! The dancing is at least getting me sweaty, so that's a good sign. We'll see how it all goes.
I WILL STICK TO THAT 400 CALORIE LIMIT TOMORROW IF IT KILLS ME. I'll plan it now. I'll just have a coffee for breakfast, that's only about 15 calories. At lunch I'll grill some chicken and eat it with salad... the chicken and mayo will probably come to about 200 cals (sadly), so that's 200 out of the way. Then... hmm... maybe some crackers whenever I feel like snacking. I've run out of houmous now (boo) but I can still have them with a bit of butter. I'll invest in some more diet coke too. I see all that being in my 400 cal limit! Topnotch.
Now, must get back to reading bloody Jane Austen... I hate Victorian literature, but it must be read for my course. Dammit.
I'll do this for you, bloggers! Bloody hell, I need to step it up before I crash and fail at life.
Q x

ReplyDeletemmm hummus, with flatbread! my faveeee. a new addiction as of this school year!
ReplyDeleteand you ARE worthy to blog, I love reading your blog. And your intake was not even horrible. Dont sweat it girl, you're on the right track.
ewh hummus haha. I'm personally not a big fan, but everyone else I know is so I'm probably just weird.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's inSANE that you know so much dance. I was in theatre in high school and did a lot of dancing then, but it was musical theatre type dancing. I always wanted to do ballet, but it's so costly! Now I'm trying to pick up hip-hop dancing (the man kind, because I think it's cool when a woman does a man's dance) with the slides and funky feet and such. It's kinda difficult haha. I'm so used to theatre.
And don't say you don't deserve to blog. I've missed reading your blogs since I've had to start sneaking on here :/ you're a fatastic blogger, and it's not like you mess up any more than the rest of us. Restricting IS hard, and we all know that. It helps that we're all here to understand eachother and that we're all here for the same thing--to reach our goals.
