Day 12: Trying to Keep a Positive Attitude

She brings in the same terror as this
woman minus the looks & style and
composed voice. Everyone in the
office avoids her.. :/

Hay this lady, the boss of the person Im temporarily handling the job for is just really a very toxic person! It is warranted that she has a lot on her plate and she will not have patience for errors or delays, I definitely understand that, but still all that negative emotion - raised voice, annoyed look, making everyone hurry, just trickles down to the team. I feel it but I try not to let it get to me, I know Im good (and zoning) so I try not to let her kill my buzz.

In other news, the meat spice yesterday evening didnt seem to have an effect on me this morning (the scale moved down). However, it may still harm me over the next few days.

Day went by, was so busy I got to eat lunch at 4 and reached home 10mins to 9. So I was able to eat my dinner on time.

Day 12: deviation free, 1 fruit under allowance, vits taken

Mood = good

Hunger = none

Day 11: 10 Day Results

Ah-wooh-hoooh!

After 10 days, I lost exactly 3kgs!! And together with this are the following changes:

- no more bloating (except when I eat asparagus)
- allergies almost gone
- I feel good, could it be that Im in the Zone?
- Sleep is much better -> I have a fit bit HR so it shows me how many times restless and awake I was during the night.. Shows me that I restlessness is less.

So Im good. Yipeee!!

Anyhoo, I overslept today, so I rushed preparing my breakfast and lunch. I was a bit torn between not preparing it and just buying salad at work, but no, I really cant stop this now. So I was 10mins late for work but all is gooood..

I just made sure I reach home on time to make my CD dinner. But I really had to work late so I asked my BF to prepare my dinner, he got it all right, he just added meat spice to my beef! No wonder it was very tasty.. Deviation right there.

Anyhoo.. all is well.. and I do a mini- Chandler dance :D

Day 11: Not deviation free, 1 fruit under allowance, everything taken on time and properly spaced.

Mood = good
Hunger = only while watching Chopped (which we do every night) :D

Day 10: Work .. work.. work..

Useful tip :D

Or shall I say werk..werk..werk..werk..? :D Was so busy that I couldn't even eat! Whew! First day on covering up for a colleague, her boss is really tough, but Im not ruffled (yet :D)

Looks like I did swap my meal allowances yesterday as the scales got back at me today.. Hay.. this daily weighing, its outright frustrating!

In other news, today is a good day, Im feeling close to the zone plus my allergies are almost going (I hope!!) without taking the prescribed meds.. So even if my temp boss had been mean to me in the morning, eh... its ok, I don't really take it to heart. Im good. Just that I got to have my breakfast at 10 and then lunch at 4! no snacking in between. Hmm. Maybe I will eat breakfast at home tomorrow and just snack on the fruit on my desk. Im just afraid I will be way too hungry before lunch break.

Went to look for an anniversary present for my bf. We turned two last Friday, but celebrating this coming Friday.. he had to work.. boooo

Day 10: dinner at 10. 2 fruits under allowance, vits taken
Mood =  feeling fine
Hunger = none
Body = Yup, some parts sore from yesterday, got a bruise on my right shin. But Im functioning alright.

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
