I can… I don’t.

I can try eating healthy all I want all week, but then when I come home drunk, I just EAT EVERYTHING - and anything.

I just had meatloaf with gravy BUT I tried to be healthy by eating a banana & cereal.

:) K no more incoherency.

10 Foods to Avoid (with 10 “good alternatives”)

So Bora’s blog made me want to look up some foods to avoid (in the 10 mins I have to kill before class).

:( My favorite is pot pie. And cinnabons.

“A Center for Science in the Public Interest report stated that Chipotle’s burritos contain over 1,000 calories, which is nearly equivalent to two meals’ worth of food.”

Sporadic Hunger

For some reason, my stomach is rumbling right now… but I’m not feeling the hunger. Lately, I’ve only been eating 2 full meals a day. Like yesterday, I ate a pop-tart throughout my morning classes (9-12pm). Then, I had a big lunch, which consisted of rice, bulgogi, and some kimchi. And when dinner time came around, I wasn’t hungry at all. So I just had a couple bites of Eric’s pizza, bubble tea, some fries, and 2 chicken wontons. But the day before, I had pop-tarts in the morning again and I didn’t eat lunch because I wasn’t hungry, but for dinner, I finished a whole Qdoba burrito way too fast. I know this sporadic eating pattern is not good for me, but the bigger question is, why am I not feeling hungry?? There are clear signs that I should be hungry, or that I am, according to my stomach. Ehh… back to my graphic design assignment :) I need adobe illustrator… but I’m scared to torrent it.

(30 minutes after i first broach the subject)

sigh, so my diet's going well, too.

The Product of Laziness

is… consuming TV dinners, 3 bottles of beer, and instant mozzarella sticks for the past two nights as “dinner.” Is this how I’m going to sustain myself when I start living on my own after I graduate too? Because it’s kind of horrific. My roommate and I bought $300 worth of groceries on Monday and my breakfasts have been toned down from the heaps of eggs and bacon and pancakes that I used to get from the dining hall to just a bowl of cereal and a banana, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that I have access to a MUCH wider array of snacks now in my cupboard. Le sigh. Plus, the weather and SNOW outside (yes, it’s already been snowing here for the past 3 days) just makes me want to wrap myself in a blanket and not move from the bed. (But I’ve made it to all my classes so far! Sometimes I even show up early! YIPPEE!) Hopefully I can trudge my way to the gym by next week and start up a routine. I don’t have class until 3:45 twice a week so maybe I can make those my get-up-and-go days.. although today’s was just used for watching a 3-hour Real Housewives of Orange County marathon. Oh yeah, this is also the first time I’ve had a TV in college. So. This is obviously going well.

The Power of Post-its

Oh bummer really?! sucks balls, of course everything that tastes good are bad for you… then maybe I’ll try munching on almonds. I heard those are good for you, right? They’re not my favorites… but I guess I’ll just have to grow to love them.

So on my second official night at the apartment, I made spam/kimchi bokkeumbap hehe. Even though I was full, I wanted to keep eating and eat everything in my fridge. I don’t know why because my period just ended. This bloating, eating everything, cramps and lower back hurting, which I finally experienced for the first time, should be gone, and everything except my lower back hurting are still on going after my period has ended. But what I wanted to share with everyone was… since I felt so fat from my dinner, I started doing some pilates exercises, but that didn’t last long. I ended up getting distracted with ordering samples, and right now, I’m ordering some post-its samples!! POST-ITS YOU HEAR!!

I don’t know why it’s so much easier to update this tumblr than my own tumblr… I guess I just like to share my failures of this “not diet(?).” I’m fighting every temptation not to sleep right now because I’ll wake up even more bloated tomorrow.

1st Day at the Gym

Day one of gym. I checked my weight & I gained 2lbs of holiday weight. So within the next 7 days, my goal is to lose holiday weight! :)

(Btw, I think cashews are high in fat. or high in calories and/or from fat)

No money = no food

I shall be off to officially live at my apartment soon, and even though I have lots of things to do, like packing, I’m sitting here like a lazy bum updating tumblr, eating bokkeumbap aka fried rice, and watching 30 Rock. I just realized that even though my mom has bought me a lot of food to bring to my apartment… once that runs out, I will have to go food shopping for myself and because of my limited funds… I will be forced into a diet. And also because I’m lazy and can’t cook a darn thing, I guess I’ll resort to eating fruits and yogurt for dinner. I’m gonna try my best to snack on healthy things. Are cashews healthy? Because I really love snacking on them while I study. Now I really must unwrap myself from this blanket even though it’s really cold in my house, and start getting shit done! Peace out homies!

Clean slate for the new semester

So today was a bit more successful than my last post in here.  Woke up at 10 to go to the gym and then went grocery shopping.  I managed to restrain myself from buying junk food and instead opted for some healthy snacks like grapes, baby carrots and bananas.  I’ll be sure to update as to how my “healthy eating” practice continues throughout the semester.  It’s definitely going to be so much harder once the semester begins because there’s such delicious unhealthy food in New York, and staying up late, wanting to munch on all different kinds of chips/cookies.  Hopefully I’ll have some more self-control and discipline so I don’t go crazy with stress-eating too.
