That chicken was reeeaaally good! And the most surprising part was that it was marinated but it had less calories than chicken without marinade.. idk how, I hope it wasn’t a mistake or anything. The bad thing was that jalapeños make my stomach sick-ish, at least when I was running. Also the wind was blowing like hell so I quit at 30 minutes haha. My legs started to hurt at some point, I might only walk for a couple of days.
Also, been skipping my leg and ab workout too much! So today I got back on track food-wise, tomorrow I’ll do it workout-wise!
Quick roundup
Sorry about the silence, I’ve been having a social life so here’s a quick roundup about my life diet-wise:
- I drank a lot in the weekend, and ate crap food
- Ran once for about 45 minutes
- Took some pictures and my legs look pretty good lol
- Back on track today, I want to get rid of this bloated feeling as quick as possible!

I forgot to do my back workout.. oh well, I already showered.
Oh, I wasn’t skipping meals because “ughhh I ate candyyyy”, I’m still full from it..! But yeah, the total isn’t THAT outrageous (100~ kcal over my basic kcal burning) and net total is okay too. I’m not actually that sure about how many calories I ate with the candy since I ate the ones where you can pick the flavors you want so the amount may vary. But I’m sure it’s like +-100 calories wrong or something.
Tomorrow I’m cooking with my friend! I asked that we wouldn’t make anything unhealthy, she was like “let’s make tacos!” and I was like “uhh.. how about chicken salad?” haha. Sooo we’re making chicken salad and some dessert with berries, I need to check some recipes now!
Btw, I have a tiny gap between my legs even when legs are together! Yaaay~
RAN 60 MINS
AWWW YEAHH. Burned something like 550 kcal! When I count the candies and my exercising, my calorie intake for now is pretty normal amount, so I think I’ll do fine if I’ll only eat something little (I’m not hungry and it’s 6PM).
Funny thing is, it didn’t hurt that much. I mean, the first time I ran, I could’ve died and I only ran for 30 mins. Now I’ve doubled that and I could’ve ran even longer (didn’t want though, because it was becoming a bit boring). I sped up at uphills and at the end too, so I’m happy!
I also made a playlist that was 60 mins long and at the end I was like “ok this is the last song” and another song started to play.. and I though that was the last song and then, another song again. I was like “just HOW many songs can there be in 60 minutes?!”.
But yeah, I’ll do my leg exercise and sit-up challenge too! And bike stationary.
I should plan a route that would take about 60 minutes, now I was just going round and round the same areas waiting for 60 minutes to be over.
OKAAAYY
Decided to give up for my cravings and bought a bag of candies. SATISFIED! I’ll try to run for 60 mins later today to make up at least some of the calories. I think I’ll also try to eat something very light for dinner, like steamed veggies with egg whites.
I think this “eat a lot at once” type of treating is better than sometimes buying a tiny chocolate bar or something.. the last time I bought that chocolate bar I was just thinking “this is going to end soon, there’s so little left of it!” so it was pretty useless as an enjoyment.
Even though I have to admit that this bag has a bit TOO MUCH in it..! But hey, at least my cravings are over now!
P.S. I decided to continue with my 30 min biking thing. While the amount of burned calories seems to be low, I feel like doing so hard cardio and then going to sleep with a semi-empty stomach had a positive outcome to my weightloss. Also, the best feeling ever to go to shower just after finishing a great workout!

Sorry I have no idea what those arm things are supposed to call.. but I have 2.2 lbs weights on both hands and do different moves! Also.. I was supposed to do sit-ups but I had no motivation at all so lazily decided to skip it for tomorrow.
I’m a bit tired.. will go to sleep soon. I feel like I can’t be in peace until I’ve reached the 57.0 !
Also, I want to try to do something with eggplant. It sounds like the right cure for my bread cravings. So.. tomorrow’s shop list:
- Eggplant
- Butter cheese (pepper flavor)
- Turkey/ham whatever looks good, they’re almost all like 100 kcal / 100 g
- Rye bread
TIREDDDDDD and I haven’t really even done anything today!
Oh god the cravings..
(REALLY LONG stuff ahead, feel free to skip!)
To be quite honest, I’ve been craving some really unhealthy stuff lately! I’ve been doing fine with my eating, but I just REALLY, REALLY want to buy everything I’ve craved and eat it. I won’t, but all this food has been in my mind.
I do want to give myself days to pig out freely, but I’m just worried if I’ll do it when I’m not in my UGW and it’ll set my progress back too much.. I know a cheat day (or more likely ‘be a pig day’) would be totally fine once I’m in my UGW. I mean, one day will not ruin anything and it’s ok if you just go back on track after that, but I just really really want to have a good bikini body once the summer holiday starts..
I know I talked about this just a while ago but this is the 16th day of my ‘diet’ and I’ve only eaten one tiny chocolate bar and like a handful of candies..!
Also, I think I’ll avoid the scale for a while. I mean, if I don’t lose that 1 kg I want to lose this week, I’m afraid I’ll get too disappointed and stuff. It’ll become too stressful if I’m constantly thinking “oh I haven’t lost any weight yet, I’m gonna fail”. It’s been a week since I lost weight and today I was still at the same weight. I got a little upset and maybe even nervous!
I’m just thinking that I should work more for it, but then I think how much I want to eat toast but peanut butter (I know some of you eat it as a healthy breakfast but I want to eat it A LOT, so not healthy then!), then I think about if I’ll wear a bikini with confidence and then I think about spring rolls.. OAAAHHHH!
I’ve been working out, but I almost feel like it’s not enough. Last year I would’ve thought that “I’m working out sooo much!” but now.. I feel like it’s not that much. Maybe it’s because all Tumblr people seem to work out a lot? I’m not really comparing, like “I’m not as active as she is!”, but I just feel like I’m not working out that much. I try to tell myself that I need rest days too, but then I read about people working out every single day and I’m not so sure again.
One funny thing is also, that last year I checked this one girl’s photos of herself. I though how skinny she is and how great her body is, but now I went to see them again. I just thought “her legs look gine with clothes but she’s not very toned” and somehow felt a bit better about myself, even though I’m not in that good shape. Not sure if this is scary or what.. maybe seeing all these fit people made me more critical about skinnyfat people. I’m not slowly developing a disordered body image or ed or anything, so that’s ok I think.
So, about the cravings. Idk, I’ve been watching some fitspo/thinspo pics lately and when I think about all this fattening food I just try to think “you can have this food, but then you can’t have this body”. I KNOW, SOUNDS HORRIBLE. I’m not trying to demand myself from eating chocolate and stuff, I just try to keep all that stuff away from my meals at least for a while.. but I’m just afraid if all this calorie counting will kinda ruin food from me! I noticed that my desire to occasionally get drunk has disappeared.. and well, it’s not really that bad thing, but I just hope I can have fun with my friends without thinking about calories or anything! But as I said, once in a while doesn’t hurt. But I also think that once in this state (still so much weight to lose state) will hurt. I know it’s a lifestyle, but I just feel like it’s not really permanent until I’m in my UGW and I have to keep the weight instead of losing it.
I know I will not count calories for the rest of my life for sure. I will keep things healthy, but I guess that this state has all the craze in it. It is actually the first time that I’m trying to get fit for summer, so it’s like I have to give my all to it. Last time I had weightloss project going on, I watched a little what I ate, didn’t count anything and ran like 3 times a week (1 hour every time). I lost 2 lbs a month, so not that fast of a project but I wasn’t in a hurry.
Now that my weightloss seems to go fast, and MyFitnessPal.com even said that I’d be in my UGW until summer so I feel almost a bit pressured. I haven’t set any deadlines, like dates or anything but I so desire to be in my UGW when it’s June.
Long story short, I’d like to have a day to eat freely, but I’m afraid it’ll ruin my progress.
Uhhhh my mind changes all the time, it’s pretty hard! I think it’s just that I don’t have anything other to think about than this and school stuff I’m supposed to do.
P.S. I don’t think I can keep myself away from the scale until it shows me 57.0 lol!
P.P.S. I don’t think I’ll buy another packet of green tea once the one I bought runs out.. as healthy as it is, I just can’t swallow that crap haha!
