Healthy eating...... obsession.

Yea. It's tragic. I've turned into one of those persons who is constantly thinking about what has how many calories in it and whether or not I can eat it. Only about junk food. Health food, I still do keep a total of it, but I'm not to worried about the calories because I know they are beneficial to my body, whereas the other stuff isn't.

My friend and I have both started on "diets". Well, for a better term, (which I like) "healthy eating for the rest of our lives". Sounds better, doesn't it?

We both got gym memberships and are trying our best to lose weight.

I really have to give props to her though. She has been going to the gym everyday, doing classes and whatnot, also doing personal training sessions and going for beach walks on her own time. As well as not giving into every craving.

Me? I went to the gym on Monday.... and.... that's it. I bought chips and chicken nuggets on Monday for lunch, chips and calamari on Tuesday for lunch, pizza on Friday, had some for breakfast Saturday, as well as eating mini m&ms and sugared peanuts throughout the week, because they are both my downfalls. Perhaps the best (healthiest) meal I had this week, was my grilled soya cheese on toast. Which was for breakfast one morning, because I couldn't think of anything else. Really, that was only 132 calories. Compared to the 4 slices of pizza for lunch which was 1363 calories.

Reading this, down in print, makes me realise why I've put the weight on. I'm a uni student. Wait... that's not really a good excuse. I don't live at college, I can afford to buy food from the supermarket and make meals at home, and apparently I can afford a gym membership for a year. So why, do I buy the crap stuff? Ha. Because I'm lazy. Oh yea. I just admitted that. I am really lazy and somehow think that buying crap food in the short term is easier then keeping my body alive and well for the next 80 odd years. Makes sense, doesn't it? No. If I'm going to keep being honest then no, no it doesn't.

So I've made a mid-year resolution. To be held accountable for my food intake, and the weight loss that I want to achieve by my birthday this year. To be 64 kilos by 27/9/2011.

According to my fitness app, if I only eat 1200 calories a day (no exercise) I should be able to lose at least 1kg a week. So hopefully, with exercise, that will go up.

I know it's going to be hard, but as I am currently 94 kgs, I want to do something about it. So everyday, I will be writing in to my blog, (possibly on this one, maybe a new one) what I eat, the exercise I've done, and how I've been feeling. That way, I can be held accountable. I know of at least 2 people who read this, and they will hold me accountable. Which I will love them for.

Here's to a better, healthier me.

Butterfly kisses,

Rosalinda, xoxo
