Day 5

Sunday January 28, 2017

Today was a lazy day. A happy do nothing, knitting, watching TV kinda day :) Also no picture because I am lazy as shit.

Was more like Brunch

Butter and real syrup (nothing fake up in here Bra.)

Recipes - Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats - 657 calories
High Fiber and Protein
97 g of Carbs     18.8 g of fat    35 g of protein

For when you're going to be too busy to really eat well

1/2 cups Whole Oats
1/2 cups Yogurt
1/2 cups Milk
1/2 cups Blueberries
1 scoop Vanilla Protein
2 tbsp Chia seeds

Notes on  Yogurt: I make sure that regardless of the fat content the list of ingredients does not include cornstarch or any other thickener. Yogurt should only contain Milk Fats, Milk Solids, Cream, Bacteria. If you get any other yogurts like Activia, there are more ingredients and chemicals. It's best to be natural, no matter the fat content.

Notes on Vanilla Protein: I am currently using Deisel Vanilla Protein. It has a great vanilla flavour. It's great in smoothies, protein shakes, overnight oats... everything.

Notes on Chia seeds: I add them for fiber and Omegas.

Day 4

Saturday January 28, 2017

Today was a new day and I donated blood for the first time.

2 cups of O+ apparently can save three lives today.

I ended up eating a lot of food today but still managed to keep my caloric intake under the 100 surplus.

Bed time is 930 because 2 cups of blood doesn't seem like a lot but it is

Breakfast

Overnight oats with Blueberries

Snack

6 Oreo cookies, Milk, OJ, Mango Juice, Sesame Snaps, and Peek Freans Jammy Dodgers* (after blood donation)

Lunch

2 Eggs and 1/2 grapefruit

Snack

2 croisants

2 Laughing Cow cheese wedges

4 inches of cucumber

Dinner

Homemade Lasagna and Broccoli Salad

Snack

Nothing

No pictures today.
I enjoyed my donation. It didn't take long and it didn't hurt at all.
My next time to donate is March 25. I think I will.

Day 3

Friday January 27, 2017

Notes: I don't have a job. I have two possibilities, but nothing real. No signed contracts. This is stressing me. When I am stressed I become anxious, when I am anxious I panic. In my panic I tend to forget to do things like eat. This challenge and commitment so far have kept me on track to be sure that I am eating and in turn is reducing the length of these anxiety panics. Go figure :)

Breakfast

Snack

Lunch
A Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich with fries and a coke*

Day 1 - 203 lbs, 213 inches

Weight is taken first thing in the morning on my Fit Bit Aria scale.

Wednesday January 25, 2017: 203.9 lbs

Measurements are done in the morning after weigh in and are measured in inches. I am measuring the circumference of my arms, chest, waist, hips and legs. Measurements follow this guideline: Chest - Measure directly across your nipple line (you can always find that exact spot) notes I have added over boob and under boob measurements for the chest because I have big tits; Upper Arms - Measure 7 inches down from the tip of your shoulder and don't flex; Waist - measure at your belly button; Hips - Measure at the widest area of your hips (encompass your ass); Legs - Upper Thigh, measure just under your butt by about 3 inches.

Wednesday January 25, 2017: Measurements

Right Arm - 14 inches

Left Arm - 14 inches

Chest Over - 42 inches

Chest Under - 37 inches

Waist - 45 inches

Hips - 45 inches

Right Thigh - 26.5 inches

Left Thigh - 26.5 inches

Total Inches (Over) - 213 inches

Total Inches (Under) - 208 inches

Why over/under?

Breast tissue will burn faster than the fat tissue across my back - This way I can make sure that when I see inches loss at the chest, I can see if it's breast tissue loss or back fat loss. Either way this is how I'm measuring and if you don't like it, too bad.
