1 set of 30 crunches on the workout ball

1 set of 30 crunches on the floor

Evaluation: Did pretty well at the gym, I’d say. First time I used the stationary bike and I liked it. 20 minutes of vigorous peddling and I burned more than 200 cals. Like the elliptical machine, the stationary bike provides a much lower impact on the joints unlike the treadmill. In fact, between the treadmill and the elliptical machine, the stationary bike causes the least amount of strain on your joints and is great for cardiovascular  workouts while it helps to increase your stamina.

Gym Equipments

I gave myself a treat to dinner at Mimolette. I highly recommend Mimolette for a dinner. The food is amazing as always. And the mac & cheese is a winner I do love my food.

Evaluation: I could barely get up this morning but I was so dehydrated so I forced myself to get up, shower and drink some water. I didn’t even leave the house as I was feeling really crappy. Don’t get me wrong, last night at Butter was awesome… But I drank quite a bit.

Evaluation: You may look at my food diary and think that I don’t really have a balanced diet of 6 meals a day and that I don’t drink any protein shake nor exercise everyday… But believe me, this is way better than how I used to eat before. Sugar, sugar and more sugar. I made sure I got a sugar rush single everyday. Oh, and SNACKS. I used to snack ALOT. So much that it would have probably been impossible to keep up with what I used to eat with a food diary. Which is why the food diary has really helped me be more conscious of the food I eat. One major no-nos that I did today though: I ate after 8pm. I just couldn’t help myself and I was craving for something savoury and sweet. So I had pb&j. It is my most favorite sandwich in the world. I’m regretting it now. Oh…. Must be that time of the month soon.

Gonna make sure I work it on the stationary bicycle tomorrow!

10 minutes of running on the treadmill

May I just quickly add that… I hate adding junk food to my food diary and having to sharing it with you. This is not how I’m supposed to eat, especially on a weekday. Shame on me! However, I do feel better about today than yesterday because today, I went to the gym. After a long 3 day break.

Normally, I’d run for 30 minutes on the treadmill with 3% inclination & 8.0 speed and then 15 minutes on the elliptical machine or the rowing machine… But today I ran out of breath and my lips were drying out because I had skipped breakfast and did not drink enough water before my workout.

It is important to hydrate your body and drink plenty water first thing in the morning and wait half an hour before drinking coffee or having your breakfast. Not only does it jump start your metabolism and gives you more energy for a better concentration at work, remember that while you are asleep, your body is eliminating all the toxins and waste from your body and it keeping your body hydrated plays a big part in this process. Also remember that while you have just went 6 – 8 hours without water and while you were in lala-land and having a good rest, your body is STILL working and using up energy.

A glass of orange juice or isotonic water is the ultimate quick fix for a dehydrated body in the morning or after the workout. But bear in mind how many grams of sugar it contains. Remember when I told you I had diarrhea? That was the worst thing. My body became so dehydrated and the doctor prescribed me a few sachets of isotonic drink powder and charcoal tablets. While it helped tremendously, I personally didn’t like the drink.

So please, remember to drink enough water!

It is also common that many people have lost their sense of thirst and mistake it for hunger. Drinking a glass of water will usually greatly reduce any false hunger pangs. My best advice is to drink a glass of cold water before any meal or snacks.

Evaluation: I was up so late today, I didn’t even realize it until I checked the time on my phone. The curtains in my bedroom does not let any light in and I’d usually leave the curtains at the far end of the room drawn so I’ll know when when the sun rises in the morning but I had totally forgotten to do it last night. I am not very fond of waking up late because it sort of feels like I’ve wasted the day… and because I loooove breakfast. It didn’t stop me today though, because I had lunch an hour after breakfast

Going out tonight, so I am very likely to have a couple of drinks with my girlfriends…

*     *     *     *     *

UPDATE: I did very bad last night, I don’t do that often and I haven’t been to the gym for 3 days. OH!

Am I making a mistake sharing my food diary?
