What a week. Why can't I sleep? Why is my weight loss so slow? Don't answer that, please.
Weight: 85.5 kg (-0.5 kg)/188.5 lbs (-1.1 lbs)
BMI: 38
Weight loss since Sept 16, 2023: 8 kg/17.6 lbs
I had this week's cheat meal on Friday, when li'l bro and I went to see mum and we had take-away. Orange chicken, spicy lime chicken and fried rice for me, with a large lingonberry juice.
I have fallen into the hole that is Amberlynn Reid. I was just going to watch a reaction video on YouTube by Sean of Steel (love that guy) and now I can't stop. One part of me feels sorry for her childhood and one part, the largest part, makes me want to slap some sense into her. Stop eating all that junk! Get moving! Be nicer to people, especially your girlfriends (poor Destiny, I really liked her)!
I've finally started using my cross trainer. Holy crap, my legs! I can't do any long stretches yet, but I get on it several times a day. I do not calculate calories burned because that doesn't matter since I don't eat them back (it's too imprecise for me).
In my quest for the ideal dinner I have decided to give shirataki noodles another go. I went online to one of my two favourite Japanese/Asian stores and ordered both ramen and udon spice mixes to spice them up a bit. Eating 650 calories a day is fine, albeit a bit boring, but even if I eat shirataki noodles with a curry sauce the whole day is still under 1000 calories so I should be okay. Right?
I've been bitching about how the only thing that's slimmed down so far are my ankles, but today in the shower I noticed that I now can see my navel. My stomach used to be so big and taut that the navel was sort of underneath, but now it has migrated north. It's those little things.
What I eat in a day, photo edition:
Brunch (12:30pm) is a protein shake (ice coffee) with collagen and Dulcosoft Plus (to soften my stool). Not pictured is the unsweetened almond milk (250 ml). ~237 calories.
Dinner (4pm) is one of three different miso soups. 160 ml, 30 calories.
I added the rose hip and blueberry soups so I get some variety. I don't feel comfortable eating soy every day, because it can fuck up your thyroid.
I fell into the ALR rabbit hole a couple of years ago, and am still stuck! Even with the boring-ness she’s been putting out recently, I can’t stop watching. There’s a doco-style series on YouTube, called Shaped By The Algorithm, which is a long watch but really good for going back to the older eras.
ReplyDeleteI cannot deal with shirataki… ick. I never found a sauce, protein, or veggie add-in that could make me stomach them.
