Exercise for today
1 1/2 to 2 hours of cycling/running around

Goal and rest of today

I know I will have reached my goal when:
  • I hear people whispering about how skinny I am, how pretty I am, how much weight I have lost.
  • When people come up to me, grab my wrist and look at how thin it is.
  • When people come up to me  and actually say how wonderful I look.
  • When I can stand with my legs together and my thighs won't touch.
  • When I can stand in my bikini confidently on the beach without any board shorts and feel fabulous in the Sydney summer sun.
  • When I can wear anything I want to, including tights, dresses, short shorts.
  • When I sit down, all my fat doesn't splay out.
  • When my thighs don't jiggle.
  • When my extensions look fabulous in ballet.
  • At the formal, I find people looking at me and guys looking at me.
  • When I can run for 30 minutes and not feel exhausted.
  • When I lie down, I don't feel the fat in my but splaying outwards.
  • When I bend over, you can clearly see my ribs.
  • When you can see my collarbone clearly.
  • When you can see my hipbones very clearly.
  • When I start wearing my school uniform without my jumper on because I am not as self-conscious.
  • When I feel wonderful everyday and have a spring in my step.
  • When I look at junk food and go 'ew'
  • When I can look at other skinny people thinking they look good, and realising, so do I.
  • When my parents can't say I'm too skinny because most of it is muscle.
  • When I am less than 47kg
  • When I go to shop for dresses for the formal, everything is an option.
  • My ballet leotard is loose-fitting.
  • My extensions look fabulous in ballet.
  • I can wear my short shorts comfortably.
  • I can fully rest my thighs on my chair or seat.
  • When I get excited about getting up early to do the ULBHT or go for a really long run.
Today was pretty good. I didn't binge. I did eat a little more than necessary at dinner and I ate two red bean buns for dessert. I didn't eat the flour on the outside though. I didn't get the chance to go for a really long run today because of the stupid stupid rain. Maybe I'll have the chance to tomorrow. I'll have a 2 hour session of cycling and running. There will be fewer showers tomorrow.

From Monday to Wednesday, I have Duke of Ed which is wonderful timing just as I'm easing into eating better and doing more exercise. I will probably be exhausted by the end of it but that's always a good thing.

This morning, I successfully woke up to do the ULBHT which took me about 40 minutes but it would probably take about 35min because I was moving really slowly. I was half-awake ok! It made me feel wonderful throughout the day though. It was the same with Tuesday. I find I feel more awake, alert and energised if I exercise in the morning. Then I fell asleep until 9 because I was so tired.

From now on, I've decided to cut down on sugar too by using stevia instead. A main source of my sugar intake is the Forme yoghurt which I find can sometimes be really sweet. I am going to search around for a fat-free or low-fat natural plain yoghurt which I can stir some stevia and some fresh fruit through instead. It will cut down on the sugar. I was looking at Jalna's fat free biodynamic yoghurt but it has the same amount of sugar as Forme. Forme also has the artificial sweeteners and fructose is one of its main ingredients. I've decided to buy either the Gippsland Diary or Pauls fat free yoghurt. Both have no artificial flavours or colours so are absolutely plain. I will just keep servings smaller which is fine with me.

Another great recipe which I love with stevia is lemonade. I made some today and it was really refreshing. It had plenty of bite to it. Basically juice some lemons, add at least 5 times as much water; taste it. Then keep adding stevia sachets until it doesn't taste too sour.

And it makes my throat feel good. :D

Happy day. Much more improvement. I could eat less for dinner, and avoid the buns, but pretty good. I could also have cut down on yoghurt. I'm getting there little by little.

No chocoalte or junk food at D.O.E by the way.Because I don't need it and it makes me feel crap the next morning anyway.

Thinspo #3















yesterday

Yesterday was better than the beginning of this week.

- I had no junk food whatsoever.
- I didn't binge on peanuts
Bad Areas
- ate a slice of banana bread and had no conscience when I bought it sneakily while I 'went out to get the letters'
- had two cans of coconut water. 1L of coconut water. That is way too much even thought it was about 1000kJ.
- had far too much for dinner. I still had way too many spring rolls and peanuts but not as bad as usual.

Today got off to a bad start.
- had two red bean buns, but didn't eat the flour on the outside.
- had THREE SLICES OF BANANA RBEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I know banana bread is bad for me. It's basically cake that sounds healthy.
- I'm not eating any dinner tonight as a way of compensation.
- I'm going for a 40  min run/jog today when I get home, practising pointe during the news and doing the full blown ULBHT set which I have to do today because it's been three days since I did it last.

food to stay away from

It's surprising. I haven't had hot chips in a while. I figure they're useless little strips of carbs and fat.
I'm only ever going to allow myself to eat super dark chocolate.

Foods to stay away from
1. All those Chinese buns
Why:white starches in the bun flour and there is so little filling which can sometimes be sickly sweet.


2. hot chips
Why: As I was explaining before, they're just starch, carbs and fat that are really salty and burn your fingers.



3. any form of chocolate except more than 75% dark chocolate (chocolate bunnies, chocolate chips, chocolate bars, chocolates in boxes, chocolate blocks, hot chocolate
Why: no nutritional value, sickly sweet, leaves you feeling bloated, carbs, sugars, fats




4. cakes - birthday cakes, chocolate cake, cupcakes, brownies
Why: The cake bit is actually just so tasteless and it's just full of unnecessary starches, carbs and sugars, even fruit cakes are deceiving. They just pile on the whipped cream.









5. any sort of pastries - croissants, mille-feuilles, tarts
Why: full of butter, shortening, sugar





6. biscuits, cookies
Why:  full of sugar, butter, icing





7. ice cream except sorbet
Why: don't taste that great after a while, there are other nicer ways to stay cool in summer




8. nuts: brazil nuts, peanuts, cashews, hazelnuts. only ones allowed: almonds and walnuts for fatty acids and only 3/day max
Why: often are salted, full of fats, become very addictive


9. fatty, sugary breakfast items: pancakes, bacon rashers, fried or scrambled eggs (only poached or boiled), hash browns
Why: full of fat, sugar, don't give me any energy whatsover to start off the day. I can't believe I used to eat cake for breakfast. No wonder I got hungry by the time I had lunch, which I would wolf down.









10. quiches, frittatas
Why: full of butter, fats, pastry, squidgy cheese that doesn't even taste nice, hardly any vegies even if it's "spinach/mushroom quiche". basically a slice of savoury cake, the cheese is never a low-fat type



11: whipped cream
Why: basically whipped up fat + sugar


12. traditional afternoon tea items: scones, caramel slices, tarts
Why: the regular mixture of fat, sugars and carbs



13. dried fruit
Why: concentrated sugar disguised as being 'healthy', doesn't make you full, often has been soaked in a sugary solution


14. donuts
Why: easy!!!!!!! fried blob of sugar, white starches and fat THEN ADD some fatty butter and sugar mixture called icing on top, add some sprinkles or put some sugar loaded jam inside TA-DAA the fat bomb
15. soft drinks
Why: never really liked them away; sickly sweet, tooth-achingly sweet, make your nose feel funny, loaded with sugar, 'diet' soft drinks filled with artificial sweeteners

16. assorted lollies - gummy lollies, M&Ms, fake teeth, bananas, milk bottles, snakes, teddy bears, sour worms etc
Why: so much sugar it's unbelievable

17. hot cross buns: plain, fruit and chocolate
Why: they are a shitload of a sweet bread variety with choc/fruit added in so sparsely there's no point
