Fighting to be Fit

The top two photos were taking in October 2012. Bottom two were taken today, Jan 2013. I actually HAVEN'T been working out since October 2012, I really only started about two weeks ago. But progress is progress - I just feel the need to track it.

Breakfast: 2 slices of pumpkin seed and five seed toast with salt reduced butter (total 261 calories)

Lunch: 2 rye cruskits, 1x95g of tuna (tomato and onion) (total 189 calories)

Exercise: 49 minutes of running (5.54km) (calories burnt: approx 387)

Total food intake: 450 calories. Based on my goal of 1400 calories a day, I can afford to have another 1337 calories today! Thanks cardio! I'm going to find it hard to calculate figures like this on the days I do strength training tho. But I do know for a fact that strength training burns quite a lot!

Will update again tonight after I've had dinner and a gym session. And hopefully I can keep snacking to a minimum today!

*Edit*

Snacks: 1 persimmon, 20 almonds, skinny flat white with double espresso and 2 sugars, two cubes of tasty cheese, 1 forkful of an omelette that my sister couldn't finish.

Dinner: Char Kway Teow, lol, ate out again.

Breakfast: two slices of pumpkin seed and five seed toast with butter - THE BEST!

Lunch: two cruskits, topped with a thin layer of low fat cheese spread, a (one serve) can of tuna (smoked), with grated low fat cheest (like, 2 weight watcher points per serve, and I had less than a serve I'm pretty sure!), and 1 piece of panfried chicken.

Dinner: Caesar salad (ate out, wasn't the healthiest cause there was too much dressing, but I love having leaves for dinner, instead of rice or pasta or noodles. My tummy just feels so much better) consisted of cos lettuce, anchovies, chicken breast, egg, shavings of parmesan and crispy bread? Fuck idk, white people food.

Snacks: 4 peanut m&m's, half a sheet of seaweed, 3 sips of pepsi max, 1 bottle of strongbow cider and 1 glass of Belle-Vue Kriek Lambic (cherry flavoured beer, super yums!). The alcoholic drinks fucked up my caloric intake again. Le sigh.

Breakfast: a microwaved egg + 2 slices of soy and linseed toast with butter

Lunch: an apple

Mid-afternoon meal: sweet potato + beans + brown rice + spinach, idk, I bought it from coles. It was 209 calories, and three fish and potato patties (home made)

Dinner: this is where it gets complicated, its burmese stuff. A fistful of vermicelli, two tablespoons of white rice, beef curry, sambal, some sort of soup, IDK.

Snacks: 2/3 of a serving of Darrel Lea dark chocolate, an overripe persimmon, and a slice of cake FUCK MY LIFE. And a coffee.

Exercise: 20mins on the treadmill (180 calories burnt), and step-ups (?) with 2kg dumbbells in each hand - just did enough to get my heart rate right up. Oh and sex, if that counts lol.

At 75kg, this is what I look like. 75kg is a lot for my height but I'm not too concerned about that cause I've always been heavy.

Abdominal fat is my main concern, as it carries the most health risks, and its where most of my fat is. My limbs aren't too bad.

I've been working out hard for the past month, but admittedly, no where near enough cardio as I should be doing.

Dinner: Stir fry vegies (sugar snap peas, carrots, etc.) with lamb curry (scraped off all the oily bits and just had the meat)

Snack: A small piece of spinach and ricotta pide (Turkish thing), a coffee, a plum, a small handful of grapes, and.. french fries. FML. I was making some for my sister and ended up having some myself

Edit:

Dinner: Small serving (as in, three forkfuls) of noodles + a medium sized piece of beef

Not enough vegies today! And not enough water either. Currently sipping on some green tea, and hopefully will through at least 500-600mL of water before I head to bed.
