Lose that flab (hmm, whatcha say?)

My team in the office has an on-going love affair with weight-loss. I've already lost track of how many bets they've had on criteria like who's gonna lose the most pounds, or who'd be able to stick to eating the least number of times, who'd be able to spend the most time in the gym, etc. Their latest game is on who'd be able to forego rice (the winner will get the pot money, though I am unaware as to how much it is) until December! An interesting detail is they're banned from eating rice only in a specific area in and around the office building, which includes a certain food strip across the office called Fastbytes. Go figure. I laughed when, once, a team member came in, absolutely gloating because he said he knew for sure he'd be able to resist rice the whole day because he already finished a half kaldero of kanin before leaving for work. Tsk. Haha

I frequently have to bite my tongue to keep from letting any smart-ass retorts out because my team is just too loveable for words. And though I fail to see the sense in this grandiose scheme, I wish them good luck on their newest endeavor. =)

Diet? What diet?

I can resist most chocolates, but not Twix.

This is a staple. period period period.

Ube hopia. Sarap!
Especially if it's eaten after being made to cool in the ref. =)


I'll be a good girl again, tomorrow.
Promise.

Caffeine update

BEFORE: Double tall mocha, please.

NOW: Double, non-fat, no whipped cream, 2 packs Splenda,tall mocha, please.

I've been a good enough girl.

For the past several days, I've been feasting on greens (with Caesar as my preferred dressing)



and whole wheat bread.


(I don't eat it by itself, of course. Yesterday, I had Italian sausage on whole wheat bread and earlier, beef pastrami on whole wheat bread. But, yeah, it's all on whole wheat bread. Ano ba, ang kulit.)

So, maybe, I do deserve to have this right now.


Just one small bag. Promise.

(I think dieting is ok as long as people don't identify the word "dieting" with "starving oneself". It's all just about eating the right kinds of food and the right quantity (or lack thereof, hahaha). And one other thing it's got going against it is that people are generally crankier when they're on a diet. Though I was a grouch only during the first two, maybe three days. Now, I'm back to normal--or almost normal.)

Potato chips!!!

What I ate and did not

Now, let's see.

Thursday, in the office, I had a plateful of baked macaroni. Which i finished, by the way. It was M--'s birthday, too, and I was treated to lunch at Cibo, where I had yummy Pasta Veneziana with wheat bread. In the evening, I had cheesecake with my double tall mocha latte.

Friday morning, I looked in the mirror and groaned. My shoulders were ballooning again--they're always the first to rise up to the occasion once the calories start loading in.

Saturday morning, I started dieting: zero to minimal rice and carbs, protein and veggies only, and the occasional finger food (translate: chips).

Today is Tuesday and, so far, I have been successful.

My friend, S--, told me helpfully, "if that's what makes you happy, dear, then go for it."

Hee.

Sloughing the Jigglies: Action plan #2

Since I have been unable to follow Action Plan #1 to a T, I have come up with a supplementary measure: I am running again!

Yoohooey for me!

LOL

Let's see how long I'd be able to keep this up.
Thanks to The Cat for the commiseration.
:)

Sloughing the Jigglies: Action plan #1

For breakfast, NO RICE.
For lunch, pig-out.
For dinner, yoghurt.


Yeah, sorry, I can't get rid of the pig-out thingie. I told myself that even if I went on a diet, I will have to binge on at least one meal for the day, and lunch seems like the best time to do that.

You think this'll work?
