Day 9: Intro to Pole

Hmm I think I did a mistake today, I mixed up my protein and veggie allowances. Meal 2 meat is meal 3 veggies and Meal 3 meat is with Meal 2 veggies.. Yikes! :(( Will see about that tomorrow.

Now about the subject and before you laugh as I am grinning right now, I went for an into to pole dancing today with a friend! :D I have these entertainer buy 1 get 1 vouchers and decided to give it a go.

I have always been curious about this... skill? sport? talent? I just admire them, they are very strong ladies. I have always wanted to do because it looks so challenging. How can it not be?

First, you have to carry your body weight all up and down that pole
Second, you have to be mindful of your form
Third, you have to match this with balance, precision and art
Fourth, you surely require some strong and seasoned muscles in order to perform 1 piece
Not to mention the friction burns!!

Its just amazing.

Anyway, my friend and I are neither of those, we were dying at the end of it :D Scared the hell of hitting our heads or breaking something. But it was surely fun! We are going to be sore tomorrow!!

Today was a perfect day date despite me not eating out. had my fish meals packed. After the pole dancing we went for a massage, and then a movie. Awesome day. Not to mention some unplanned shopping too. I spent way too much.. I was planning on spending nothing :D

In the cinemas, my word, the smell of popcorn was intoxicating. That's not all, they started serving popcorn with Cheetos Jalapeno!! wwaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 'sob'.. I almost gave in to that one. Tarzan was nice. Wee another swinging person!:D

Reached home super tired but happy.

Ah I forgot, good progress on the scale this morning!! whoopee!

Day 9: Deviation free (I hope! I will find out on the scales tomorrow). All allowances taken, vits too
Mood = weeeeee!
Hunger = was ok but that popcorn tested my sanity.

Day 8: Fishy Weekend

This is not my plate but it sure does look cute :)

Im experiencing some really slow losses these past few days. Woke up and weighed today and only lost 100gms. Its frustrating, which is why it was advised not to weigh daily. Im comparing my losses now to the previous time, which is like a call for disappointment. I was thinking since its a brand new plan, it would work like the first time around. My cravings are controlled and I dont feel bloated anymore (except when I eat asparagus!)  but looks like its not as fast. 

I've been going through the things in my head as to why Im experiencing these slow losses:

-I know I am within my allowances

- I dont really take the stuff that could be left unnoticed like balsamic, mayo 

- max 2 crackers per meal

- Im always under the recommended fruit allowances. 

- Meal and snack times are spaced accordingly, some days even more

There are just 2 things that I suspect that could be the culprit:

1) Sleep- uneven
2) I drink too much water- 3L is normal for me and I've been extremely thirsty on Day 6 and 7

I decided to take the matters into my own hands and decided to have a fish weekend, only fish meals and watch the water intake. While some people have difficulty getting in 3L, I have to watch it that I dont go overboard.

Woke up early today and went for a jog with the bf (while he works). Did 3kms, 1km of jogging. This time I made sure I had my breakfast with me and vitamins. I was prepared :) The went by the same but in the afternoon while watching the television I felt the cravings come in. I wanted to have something good to munch.

Its a funny thing sometimes. Like, an image of a pappa rotti bun comes into my head, I crave, and I think maybbbbee... then I cut the thought off.... :D The thought process has been like this:

Desire - Thought - Justification - Immediate Rejection

The tilapia meals I prepared for today were enough and delicious so I was good.

Day 8: Deviation free. .5 under fruit allowance. Vits taken
Mood = emotional! :(
Hunger = craving. more than the past days
