Good/Bad day.

Hey lovelies,

First of all, thank you so much for the lovely comments. It means so much to have people read this. :) Everytime I want to eat something bad, I think of you guys and it seems less appealing.

Anyways, today was bad day in that it was the last day of summer school, (I'm taking math 12) and I bomb the final and drop from 93% to 87%. Yes, yes, I know that it's still an A (I'm in Canada, not sure what the scale is in other parts of the world) but seriously, I was aiming for at least a 90%. :( It's alright though because I'm going into grade 12 next year, so I can retake it, get an amazing mark and apply to Universities and colleges with that. I'm just sad that I didn't make a goal I set out, and that I won't be able to be ahead.

However, on to my food day. It wasn't bad. :)

For breakfast I had a slice of whole wheat bread, nothing on it. (70 cal)

After finals everyone went to get icecream, but (thankfully), I left my wallet at home so I didn't get anything. I had a tiny lick of my friend's fat-free sorbet, which was burnt off by walking to the icecream palor anyway.

Lunch I had some stir-fry veggies, which I made with minimal olive oil, just enough to stop the garlic from sticking. I had 2 bites of rice so that wasn't so hot but I'll go for a long walk after this to burn that off. (I'm not sure how many calories that is.)

For dinner, I'm not sure what's going to happen. I know that my mom is going to cook, but I think I might say I'm really hungry before dinner, eat a fatfree tuna, celery, cucumber salad (150-200 cals) before hand and then I'll be too full when dinner rolls along. :)

On a side note, I love those little cans of tuna that you can get. They're 60-80 calories each, come in awesome flavours like spicy thai chili or lemon and thyme. The protein really fills you up and when paired with safe foods like lettuce, cucumbers and celery, make the best salad since the spices in the tuna take away the need for dressings. (I like to put a little bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper, but that's it.)

Like I said in my first blog, I don't think I would ever be able to NOT eat, since I live with my family and they would FREAK out, but the best I can do is eat as much calorie free food as possible to make it look like I'm eating a lot, but in reality, not have that many calories and crap enter my body. :)

So far, I think I've had about 500 calories, not too sure. If we're going by that, then I've created at least a 1200 calorie deficit. If I go on an hour long walk I can creat that 1400 deficit I need.

Maybe I'll jog. Haha I hate running. I suck at it.

Anyways, I'm off to do some sort of movement.

Stay strong and keep losing, lovelies!

XOXO

Ha ha I've a while to go before I'm a skinny minny! I am feeling a lot better about myself these days though :)

Sorry about the test result. Similar thing happened to me, I repeated it and did SO much better than I would have done as I had so much more time to prepare :) im sure it'll be the same with you.

Well done on your food intake today! That's so impressive how you handle your family. :) you're doing great. Keep it up! xx
