I could not believe that I am inching my way to 115 pounds - To lose a measely 15 pounds!?! It seems very easy but when your lifestyle is kinda sedentary, oh boy, it is like next to impossible. But armed with determination, I am willing to faithfully lose those ugly baggage in 15 weeks without having to crash my diet.
Sleep eluded me again last night until 4:30am... Hubby did not come home last night ergo wife restless :( This is a booboo for my first day. I was gifted with 3 and a half hours glorious sleep so I could last another day.
Breakfast:
Half a cup of white rice
canned tuna heated with Talinum paniculatum (This will serve as my lunch too for lack of energy to prepare)
AM Snack:
Quaker Granola Bar
Japanese Green tea
Lunch:
3/4 cup of rice
Talinum paniculatum with canned tuna
A very small bite of stewed chicken ('ta leng's baon)
A full tablespoon of 'kinunot na tulingan' (Ate Liza's baon)
PM Snack:
Sugarless brewed coffee (illy-thanks to Aries) with 1 tsp creamer
Dinner: (Around 4:40pm)
Fresh vegetarian lumpia from ATC foodcourt
4 slices of fresh pineapple which I munched on until 7:30pm
I was trying to veer away from the in-between meals but my system is shaking. Probably I so got used to eat plenty... I should be able to reduce the amount of intake of my snacks and eventually remove it... I'm keeping my hopes up on that. The struggle is the work load I have. It makes me use my brains without having to move at all! How pitiful. That elusive body movement should be part of my system again like breathing. Since my whole body was sluggish from lack of sleep, I wasn't able to do any jogging or walking. Oh. yeah. I walked around the mall for a few minutes to purchase my weighing scale and a bottle of olive oil but that did not even made my heart beat faster; but maybe I could count that in.
Allow me to zero in on the Talinum paniculatum... common name: fameflower; jewels of opar was introduced to me by my officemate, ate Liza. I was so amazed because I thought this Talinum was just an ornamental hedge plant in the garden. I always pass by on our way home, afront yard lushing with this amazing talinum. I will still have to look for its nutritive value but, hey, it's very yummy; it can be eaten raw too! I've asked my son to plant some in our yard and hopefully it will grow to supply my almost vegan diet ;)
So, in summary for day 1, Sleep - very poor; Food intake - okay; Body movement - could do better tomorrow.
