18 June 2016

I must admit, I've done quite well. Occasional jogging, walking, resistance workouts, but it's amazing the impact cooking almost all of my meals has been. I have avoided meat. I've enjoyed many meals that have only vegetables. I've had a few macaroni cheese meals, which of course aren't all that healthy, but do provide plenty of carbs, and I feel I'm burning calories just making that damn sauce. hah I'm quite pleased.

I'm a bit stronger, have grown some muscle, but not much in the grand scheme of things. I don't think I'll ever be "big"... I dunno... I struggle to get perspective. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and think I look pretty decent, other times I think I look kinda weak. I judge myself harshly. x_x

When I weighed myself last and got roughly 13 stone (182lbs) as per what my mechanical scales show me, it was not "dry weight", so I may well weigh a lil less. Either way, cooking once or twice a day and eating mainly vegetables has been a massive help.

I often sauté and boil vegetables. Sometimes I'll add potatoes. A favorite of mine is a broccoli curry with some chopped up celery. I've turned into a pretty decent cook. I hope to get better, though.

Oh, I was drinking a lot of Diet Coke, again (left that stuff alone for years, until recently) however I've once again waved goodbye to it because I found something healthier and tastier: shandy. xD Seems cheaper too. It has no aspartame in it and from the looks of it, no sugar aside from "sweetener".

I would love to get back into counting calories, but honestly, this experience has showed me that it's not necessary. However, the fact that I used to, probably helps my understanding of how much I eat, so perhaps that's why.

I've become pretty hooked on oats, even adding syrup! Am I bothered? Not really. Just gives me some energy. A lil sugar isn't a bad thing, as far as I'm concerned. Oats have fiber and protein in them so I'm happy with them as a breakfast. I've somewhat made (British) flapjacks a couple of times so that has been fun. Just, oats... so filling, tasty, and healthy! Strongly recommend.

I weighed myself again at last, and I'm still 13 and a half stone, which is 190lbs or so. :( I mean, it's not world-endingly terrible for me, I do have muscle too, but I'm pissed off.

I WAS 168lbs before things went to crap a while back and I ended up without an actual home, which totally messed me up. Ah well, this HAS inspired me to push harder.

I'm back into resistance too. If I'm gonna eat so damn healthily, I might as well take advantage of it, because it's ideal for building muscle! (lots of fiber and protein via home-cooked food typically laced with vegetation as I'm kind of obsessed!) And y'all know the bigger the engine, the more fuel you burn through!

I've not long woken up. For breakfast I blanched a broccoli head and made a cheese sauce with a bit of spice to it. I didn't use a load of cheese. I have broccoli meals quite often (twice a week) because I love broccoli and it's so damn good for you!

Been struggling a bit with crap food, probably because I'm single yet again and that's not usually a fun event. Luckily, I'm still eating healthy stuff too, cooking plenty. I've eased off on the sautéing because I got paranoid about using olive oil so often.

I started blanching stuff and now do that a lot. Like today, for breakfast I boiled some parsnips, carrots, and asparagus; t'was lush.

Every now and again I go out for a walk and jog. My jogging endurance is gradually going up. Once I get some proper jogging gear I'll HOPEFULLY get past my social anxiety and just jog regularly, even around people. Currently, I just jog where there are no people. I'm weird like that.

I am getting on track though.

Been very busy! I've now got a place of my own at long last. I've been cooking a lot in the last few days, now that I have a cooker and my own space to do all that.

I'm into sautéing (frying, essentially) vegetables and stuff. I've made some tasty meals thus far. It's only gonna get better from here.

I wanna develop my cooking skills and be an awesome cook for my woman. Far healthier than constantly eating packaged stuff with all that stuff added to it. I still that stuff! But, I'm happier to be cooking, plus I'm having a lot of fun.

Just did the same workout as last logged.

50s jogging on the spot,
30s jumping jacks,
30s jogging on the spot,
30s high knees,
30s jogging on the spot,
30s half burpees,
50s REST
x7

I did 6 rounds, not the target of 7 shown above. I've not done a great deal of working out since the last entry (none, except today xD and the odd walk) because of my leg, stress, and lack of sleep. Been pretty stressful over here with a new flatmate (again!) and the onset of moving yet again, plus some other thingies that keeps me awake at night.

Still looking alright, though. Still on-track. Even when I don't workout, I still try to keep the diet in check.

Ich weiß es nicht ob man hier auf eine andere Sprache reden darf, aber hier bin ich gerade Deutsch sprechen. xD Ich hab heutzutage vieles über Deutsch gelernt und so dachte ich mir dann dass ich auf diese Seite herkommen würde, um dir das zu sagen. Hah.
