My calorie war

On top of the spiritual war that every christians should face, I also have calorie war. My aim is to eliminate any calorie in my body, and resists them from entering my body.

I guess it backfired a little.

I was so restrictive that on Saturday, given the opportunity, I dug my head in for more than I need, and hit above 2000 calories mark. My limit was a mere 1701 calories. I think I went too overboard that it touched 2300calories.

My eating habits was a little boring..So after reading a bit, I realise that I should have to following:
-include oatmeal instead of wholemeal bread only
-I should add soya milk, milk or juices for breakfast
-have different fruits for each day's needs (dried ones don't count)
-if I have injured knees, I should take the opportunity to work on my upper body and tummy workout (found  a great website for this:
KeepItMovingFitness-upper body workout
KeepItMovingFitness-tummy workout

Anyway, I did some shopping just now at two NTUC. I bought a week's supply of food: fruits, vegetables, white meat (chicken and fish), mushrooms, oatmeal and soyamilk. I even bought snacks that have restricted calories so that I keep my brain satisfied and not go to i-am-deprived mode which will totally sabotage my plans. Mum said that I should not have done that for my friend, but I secretly think that at least I have some external forces to motivate me hence I should be encouraged.

My aim is to have only 1500calories each day instead of 1700, and I will have packed meals with me on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for dinner. I even bought tupperware from daiso to keep my food.

Hopefully tomorrow I can wake up early early for cycling after breakfast and print those exam papers. :)perhaps I can deliver them to my aunty tomorrow.
