Day 18

Weigh-in: 157.0 - i'm sure it's gonna slow down now. esp since i'm on my monthly . now.


Intake:
Brunch ~10am:
Pretty much samething as dinner but smaller piece of salmon
-Small piece of salmon, steamed zucchini and asparagus 300?
-Salad with balsamic vinegar 150?
- 2 boiled egg whties 34 cals


Snack 3pm:
1 med banana 120
1 large fuji apple 130


Late lunch/Dinner ~4-4:30:
Same as breakfast except no eggs.. haha
-Salmon, veggies and salad 300-400?


Snack 6-6:30pmish:
1/4 cup worth of sliced toasted almonds 170
1 large fuji apple 130 - so that I wouldn't be hungry for the night
1 cup chai tea with a splash of milk and splenda 10

(~8pm) Then went with the young adult small group. We were supposed to go bowling, but apparently it was league night so we didn't get to bowl. Some of them didn't eat dinner yet, so we ended up at Curry House -- a japanese curry place. It smelled and looked yummy in there.
Since I had already eaten, I just ordered:
- a side of hot veggies 200?
-1 sm cups of coffee with a few drops of the cream 20

Then afterwards we just went the the Ja's new place.
Everyone ate strawberry cheesecake and vanilla ice cream, but I just drank green tea. The dessert looked so good, but I stayed strong. I just chewed my strawberry cheesecake flavored Extra gum hehe.

It's a nice feeling to know I'm in much more control over food lately. It's like I'm fighting an addiction and not losing.

This is what my salmon and veggies meals look like and pre-made salad umma made for whenever we are hungry. It really helps to have something like this prepared and ready to eat in the fridge so I can grab this instead of hovering over the cereals:

Exercise:
Didn't really have much time before leaving to meet with my cell group so I squeezed in

• 10 min total body workout from exercise tv
• 10 min pilates abs

Then I got home around 12:30am and I wanted to exercise a bit more so I did so quietly since abba's sleeping in the other living room

• 20 min 10lb slimdown core - which is actually quite a total body but focused on core
• Despite me not liking working my core, it is good for my back and posture and it's a large muscle group which will help me burn more calories.

It's probably good that I didn't exercise too much today since I had a hard workout day yesterday and tomorrow I plan to run my long run 9 miles since I'll be busy over the weekend.



I got my pama (and a little cut) today! It's a bit looser than last time but I still like it :) And actually I think it looks wavier in person. It was still kinda damp at this point.
