Getting Back On The Wagon
Mar 03 2009 17:16

I'm jumping back on the horse in terms of dieting! This month I've had mocks and coursework deadlines, and I haven't been monitoring my calories or eating healthily at all! I feel worse off for it now, but I haven't had enough time/energy to worry too much.  At an estimate, I've been getting about 1500 calories a day, but at least 500 of those daily have come from chocolate!!

So, drastic measures were needed and I have *sob* given up chocolate for lent.  Yes, fully given the stuff up, none of this 'just the one square' business.  Admittedly, my chocolate fast began slightly after the official start of lent (I began on sunday), but since I have no religious qualms about the whole thing, I figured that better's late than never! 

So, with the 50p that is usually designated for chocolate, I went to the library where they're selling off the older books, and bought a copy of liaisons dangereuses.  Much better use of my money, don't you think? :)

I had a sandwich at college today.  It was the flavour that they always have available, but no one ever seems to purchase, and always ends up getting chucked away.  

Apple, celery, mayo and cheese.

It was hardly a healthy choice, I'll admit, but it had sparked my curiosity.  I have never seen apple in a sandwich before, and to be honest I hope that I never again spot little chunks of the fruit placed in between two slices of bread.  It was *disgusting*, but I committed to the sandwich and ate the whole thing, for no real reason.  

Not to mention it was probably about 500 calories.  Man.  They say curiosity killed the cat, if I'm not careful they're going to have to add 'teenager' to that obituary.
