Quote from BexLife:

Heard a great quote today about healthy eating:

'When you're in a good relationship, you don't need to cheat'

It's true. What applies to loving relationships also applies to having a healthy relationship with food. If you take care of each other and fulfill each others needs you'll never have to look elsewhere for fulfillment. If you listen to your body and give it what it needs without depriving it of anything, you'll never feel the need to binge, or 'cheat'.

Happy relationships, and happy eating :)

Tofu!

Haven't had tofu in a looong time so I bought some for dinner yesterday! Decided to try it marinated in chilli, ginger, soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil. Served with stir-fried veg and an azuki flavour bao - delicious! Azuki is red beans, and this bao was really a dessert because the beans are sweet, but I served it on the plate anyway because it looked pretty. Haha! I steamed my bao - always the best way to eat it.




Meanwhile my lil bro had pizza and veg, and I just had to intrude with some picture-taking before letting him dig in :P

Udon

I made that udon soup for my dinner the other day but forgot to take decent pics as I was too busy tucking in! BUT I did get a crappy pic of plain udon to show. This is my favourite type of noodle - so thick with a great bite to it. Love it!

Mmmm breakfast :)

Had a really nice breakfast this morning! Enjoyed what I actually wanted to eat without counting or worrying about anything so I'm really pleased :) I had a pot of plain probiotic yoghurt topped with chopped hazelnuts, 1 weetabix biscuit with water and an apple, sliced up. Yum :3 I also had a big cup of green tea. I've been drinking it for years, I love it! I always buy a particular brand of loose leaf green tea because it just tastes so damn good. Tea in bags never tastes as good, and the brand I buy is the freshest tasting one I've found, even compared to other loose leaf ones.






Dinner tonight will be: Udon soup with pork!! Can't wait, I love udon! Haha. Will try and post pics :)

*sigh*

Still struggling to be normal about food again, but I know with perseverance I will get there. I just analyzed todays cals and macros, as well as those of an example of how I was eating before, and surprisingly everything was much better when I wasn't stressing about it. Todays macros were p27 c34 f39, and cals about 1514. The example day was something like 1600cals, p40 c40 f20, which is far better. In addition, back then I was finally free of bloating, felt more energetic and healthy, and was much happier and more stress-free, compared to now where chronic bloating and water retention is setting in again, I feel drained and crappy, and really stressed out. There are so many foods I can't face putting into my body again, and it's ridiculous because most of the foods I won't eat right now aren't even unhealthy! If i just keep thinking back to how much better I felt back then, and focus on my desire to be an unbeatable all-round fitness freak, as well as who and what inspires me, I can do this. I know I can, I just need to be a little more patient and keep trying.

Mitotropin

I'm interested in taking this Gaspari product just to see what happens.. Anyone used it?? Any opinions?

I'm so clumsy!

I was messing about with my friend in the car today and hit my head on the ceiling - and got a nosebleed!! Oops! :P

Still trying to regain a healthy relationship with food...I'm almost there. I really thought I was over all this :/ Still compulsively counting, but as of tomorrow I'm going to try and stop that altogether and just keep a journal of what I eat at what time, and how it makes me feel. Then I can just analyse which foods I should limit, what makes me feel good and what portion sizes are right for me again. What a pain in the ass to have to go through this again :/ at least though, now I know that I can do this :) I will be enjoying my favourite foods again in no time. Until then, here's some food porn to help me out :)



Also..School breaks up tomorrow, whoo! Which means I can go back to a normal kind of day rather than chopping it up for several shifts a day. Cool cool :)

Oh and I just finished over an hour of good stretching! I now hold my stretches for a good two minutes and do about 3 sets of each stretch, so it takes a long time but I feel awesome afterwards. I've always wanted to take up gymnastics or a martial art but never got round to it yet.. So if i ever do, all this stretching should help me out in the beginning! Watching Ong Bak 2 as I write this.
