Fruits and vege.
On the onslaught of mighty-shit-feeling I've decided, after consulting with several people, that this diet is not for me BUT I will still remain on it until the end because...
... I am not a quitter. No, that's not right...
... I always finish what I start... Yes, that's it.
This said there will be some tweaking in the nutritional value and caloric intake department.
Yes, the calorie counting will be had.
I was reading about your metabolism rate last night before bed and I realised how unhealthy these diets really are if you go deep enough into the inner workings of food, sustanance-wise. It hardly covers the energy used for your daily bodily functions which probably means that your body will think it's starving and begin to ration fat stores on your stomach, butt and thighs. Not good. I then began researching about the metabolism rate and all its wonderful inner workings.
It seems that I have a RMR* (Resting Metabolic Rate) of about 1302.57**. You can figure out yours by the Mifflin-St Jeor equation:
RMR = 9.99w + 6.25s - 4.92a + 166g-161
w= your weight in kg; s = your height in cm; a = your age in years; g = your gender (f=0;m=1)
And turns out that at rest my body needs around 1400 kJ*** in energy to work. Is that the daily amount used? Sikitnya...
So anyway, from now on it's just cutting back on food rampages, cutting down on the carbs, chilling on the sugar intake, 8 to 10 glasses of water daily aaaaaaaaaaaand EXERCISING, which is really not a problem if I really put some effort into it. It starts by training the body to wake up at 8am daily by hook of by crook and so far it's been on schedule. I'm really getting the hang of it. No more sleeping past noon. Baby steps...
Now on to non body specific news:
I will be diving this summer with Lesly of Global Scuba as my trainer. Yes, that is the name of the 'Diving Instructor'. Nice chap, very easy to speak to. It's gonna cos me about RM850.00 for the pool lessons and more for the open water cert. And then there's the bit about buying gear, specifically the 2 piece wetsuit... I can feel my money disintegrating from my savings account. Woe is me, wish I had more mah-nee.
Also, it seems that I will be taking intensive French this summer because mom would like her children to be fluent in the word of the frogs not that I mind of course.
* Also known as BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
** I'm not sure what the units for metabolic rate is.
*** Again this is just a guess.
