shipping a book You on a Diet

For those who live in Europe (me, me!), I used to have US amazon account for purchasing books, etc., and found out yeasterday that You on a Diet book cannot be shipped/delivered directly from Amazon to my home address: ((

Anyway, for those of you, it is worth reading some of the reviews and useful information from it. 

 

Day 8

…was yesterday and very hectic and I got a JOB (new one). So practicly I have 2 (though one is part-time). Anyway yesterday my breakfast was the same (kiwis, green tea, i made 2 scrambled eggs with linen seeds), later for snack: banana, lunch (slice of pizza), pre -test interview for job, then – real lunch was lots of vegetables boiled with lots of herbs and 150gr of calamari (how did i made to prepare between test and pause and the real interview- i dont know). So, after the late afternoon job interview, i ate the rest of calamari with veggies, and they called me to tell i got the job. I didnt count ( dont like that), but I ate 3, 4(few) dried figs instead of candies and that was all.

Plus: recereation, despite it was cold i was walking for more than 30 min. brisk walk though that made my heart goes really fast -but it worths as I felt really good later on in the evenings and wasn’t hungry at all. I guess tomorrow i will check my waist size

Day 4

Bad, bad, bad girl. Went at 5am to sleep (before with headache, toothache, all ‘head’ area ache due to wisdom tooth or ‘i dont know what), and I took half of painkiller + one banana as my stomach was alerting me for hunger.

Breakfast (at noon): none, actually a slice of bread with marmelade and green tea.

Snacking : 2, 3 dried figs

Lunch (prepring): separately boiling 2 potatos, broccolli, and i will put separately in olive oil, salt, spices, onion, garlic fresh slice of salmon , plus add lots of spices, at the end i will serve it with lemon. How bad ’self-inventory’ girl cook I am?

snack: 4 figs

dinner: spaghetti basilico+3 olives. I think I ate too much today -actually lunch and dinner was delicious but rich. and i dont care. i enjoyed it. i made myself to get into my skinny jeans, though waist part was the hardest one.

on lifestyle, geekiness

As I have pigtails all day (not looking as 31 serious young female, or femme fatale : P), working on my laptop, i found myself thinking on diets, and just repeated as before: the best diet is no diet at all. I shall get some sleep to feel good the next day, not to go to sleep waiting the dawn (without any good reasons ). But then, I went this evening to nearby pizza house and got myself the best slice of pizza and while waiting, I talked to a girl who is working there, asking me why I’m looking for organic whole grain bread (there is a bakery as well), so I told her that I do eat only whole grain bread and the story about my ‘About’ : ), so she told me the same thing as I knew: she had many extra kilos and know great nutritionist (she gave me her cell to contact her), who makes ‘diet’ on personal needs, so she ate almost everything but devided into parts during the day. What is also very important is – r e c r e a t i o n! So, walk, walk , walk, or swim..whatever you like. Depends on your physical condition. Do not go streight to gym and lift the weights if you need to do some basic steps first. She looks great now, and I believe the same she told me: diet where you can eat all, but under certain amount and time between the meals. I will try to go earlier to sleep, and do my everyday walks. Tomorrow I need to buy waist meter as I start to keep the track of my ‘measurements’ It is very important, so you can have log for a month, e.g., how much did you improve (or not). On geekeness: all I have to say is that i ‘decrease’ it for 3,4 % which is bad I know, I should dedicate to some things, issues and other life aspects.

 

Day 2

Very bad bad girl. Lifestyle – bad: stayed p to 4 am this morning, geeking. Woke up, much much later, ignoring my alarm (didn’t hear it?). Ruined my breakfast as I yesterday buoght in microbiotic store sesame organic spread which is heavy as a stone. Go idea to add lemon or something to make it lighter. So here i go:

Breakfast: akka noon, 2 kiwis, half slice of bread with that nasty heavy sesame spread and 50ml of light yogurt (no more from last night). Not enough for me. So added 2 dried figs and great tea. Still cannot come to myslelf after sesame spread.

Snack: banana

Lunch: soup from yesterday (veggies etc) + carrots, broccoli, spices, and one tuna can.

Snack: coffie with brown sugar (due to my late non-sleeping)

Snack before dinner: hand full of peanuts, roasted.

Dinner: slice of pizza (medium size), capricciosa (mushrooms, ham, cheese, tomato, oregano), and 100ml of yogurt.

p.s. i do not like sesame organic spread -too heavy, and thinking on ways what to do (add pure lemon juice or some water…)

 

Day 1

 First you have to know calculate your weight with height + age and some other factors here, so to find out not only you BMI but as well some calories burned for your age and your needs. At the moment, as I said in About section, my BMI is 0.1 above, and according to the web site my daily calories intake should be 2200, but as I want to lose some weight I will monitor myself and try to take less than 2200, which is not bad, but I need to lose those 4.5kilos. Some may say it is easy, but if they stay longer they may increase. So, what I’m going to do here is to keep the track of my own daily food intake. Maybe sounds ridicilous but this will keep me monitoring what and how much i eat during the day. Btw, some doctors can give you unbelievable diets, but my opinion is that you have to listen to your body and organism, to give and eat what you feel and need. What you MUST NOT eat here are candies and sweets – you will find further on, in my posts what are great healthy substitutions for fabric-made candies and sweets. And do not eat white bread -if you need to eat whole grain or organic one. All meals are very simple and easy to prepare. Ideal for geek chicks or anyone who doesn’t have time and long to simplicity and healthy lifestyle.

Ok, my day 1.

Pre-breakfast: 1 kiwi and 1 small apple, grean cup of tea (wait half an hour after green tea, before you start with breakfast)

Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, 250ml of low fat diet yogurt, one slice of bread (with no spread: )

in the meanwhile drink as much water as you can.

Snack: 2 dried figs and one fresh banana!

Lunch: boiled mixed vegetables (chopped carrots, potato, corns, peas, etc) with 75gr, middle sized slice of plain veal, all boiled in water and added lot of spices (basil, parsley, thyme, linen seeds, etc) + 1 slice of bread.

Snack: hand of peanuts, no-salted, 2 figs.

Pre-dinner snack: cup of green tea.

Dinner: medium plate with corn flour mash with 3 teaspoons of sour cream, one cup of olive oil, and 100ml of light yogurt.

Sum: I didnt and I won’t count the calories for today, but I think Dinner was really rich as corn flour made me really full. Next time – less input.
