My new and prettiful food journal blog

Categorised as Internet, Personal, Site-Related & tagged with blog, body, fitness, food, health.

Following my weight awareness pre­vi­ously, I have exper­i­enced periods of “Okay, I’m going to shed those fatty 10 pounds in 2 months” and “Fuck this isn’t even going to work”. During one of those periods of optimism, I started my food and fitness blog: Rilly Fit. I am making a daily record of:

• Food con­sump­tion.
• Exercise.
• Good fitness/dieting tips I come across.

I will also make body meas­ure­ments from time to time and record these. Many weight loss articles have recom­men­ded starting a food journal because the need to record every food that is consumed will make one feel guilty if they have consumed something. At the same time, I guess having recorded no or minimal exercise in a day will also make me feel guilty.

If anyone’s inter­ested in my progress or self-reminder tips or ideas for starting your own one, feel free to check it out! It’s my new source of pride. <3

I just got the bottom of my left foot burnt with liquid nitrogen today to kill a plantar wart, so cardio exercises are out of the picture for now. The new direction is dis­cov­er­ing more good eating and home exercise tips!

My life is complete

At least for the next few years.

Aca­dem­ic­ally, my grades have improved a whole lot over the past year since I started dating Stephen. I totally disproved the traditional-Asian-parents theory that boyfriend = dis­trac­tion = fail grades. I’ve also sorted out the rest of my papers in uni and will graduate in just half a year!

After gradu­ation, I have a job lined up for me. I’ve worked part time there for the past two years and did not want to leave. For­tu­nately, my boss did not want me to either.

For years I hoped and hoped for a long-term rela­tion­ship that would last for at least a year. I’ve reached that goal and just based on the fact that Stephen has gotten me an iPod and a Wii so far for these two Christ­mases I think I made an awesome choice.

And now… just one most chal­len­ging goal: sexy body.

It’s so easy to gain weight working full time in an office with a boss that loves food just as much as I do. So what I’m starting to do now is:

• Working out or going swimming just about once every other day;
• Home exercises almost every night; and
• Reduce con­sump­tion of fatty, oily and sugary foods.

I have to look good for my sister’s wedding in November next year! Any tips from anyone who has been there and done that?

Life gone nuts

Categorised as Personal & tagged with health, holiday.

I decided to change quite a lot of back­ground coding stuff with the new layout, and it’s becoming a pain in the arse. I’m trying to keep minimal PHP files around and have the pages stored in databases instead so that I could access them anywhere with Internet. Funny, because for the next four months of summer holidays (Southern Hemi­sphere) I’d be going nowhere apart from home. And since I’m not going to get around to working on a new admin­is­tra­tion panel until I finish all the other pages… Life is bad when you have to update with the ugly phpMy­Ad­min. It has this problem of inserting double entries when I only want one. Dammit, I only want one.

What bothers me the most though, is my mouth. I’ve been ranting here and there about my mouth for the past week or so; that is, four wisdom teeth plucked out at the same time. My face isn’t really swollen anymore but my jaws are still stiff. I have to live on soft or liquid foods for another one or two weeks. I was skinny enough before the surgery and I’m def­in­itely going down the bony track now. Life is sooo nutty without good food. I already gave up on NaNoWriMo due to the lack of food. (I’ll continue my novel after I get the normal food back though.)

Along with that, I can’t smile properly. I can smile quite fully on the left side of my mouth but it gets stuck halfway on the right. So if I do give one of my original sweet smiles I now get something sly and twisted. A world without Rilla’s smile is… *fill in the word*
