I Hit a Wall!

Above: Me being melancholic at Lake Spafford, Davis circa 2007

Today is the 6th day of my new lifestyle change and I almost hit the wall. I had a mouth-watering lunch with the colleagues but I am proud of myself for not ordering any dessert or eating excessively*pat on back*. If you know me well, you know I'd never say no to a bowl of sago gula melaka or a piece of durian cheesecake *drools* but I decided all that coconut milk was too rich and I already had nice desserts recently. Oh anyway I checked the nutrition analysis of durian and it's not all that bad. It's actually very high in Vitamin C. That shall be my excuse to eat more durian dessert :P

Anyway, I am exhausted because my sleep schedule is totally wrecked. This is going to be a quick and mundane post for my health and record-keeping sake. SKIP SKIP SKIP.

Exercise: NA-DA.

Food log:
*Estimation only. I'm too lazy to use my online calorie counter. BTW it is a real helpful site if you want to keep a close track of what you eat: even the breakdown of fat, protein and carbs too. If I am more disciplined in using this tool I can say without a doubt that I will lose weight.

Food: Half a cup of rice, Nyonya food (700 cals)

Drink: Carrot Juice (150 cals)

Bread and beef floss: (250 cals)

2 shakes ( 3 x F1, 1 x F2) = 180cals x2 = 360cals

Fruits and milk= 200cals

Total: 1660 cals (more than I expected!!).

Basal metabolic rate: 1200cals


Fitdayfree.com calculates that I need to restrict 621cals of my total energy expansion to lose kgs in 12 weeks.

Time Span:	12 week(s) 3 day(s)
Pounds to Lose:	15.43
Pounds per Week:	1.24
Pounds per Day:	0.18
Cal. Restriction per Day:	621

Calories You Burn	-	Calorie Restriction	=	Calorie You Can Eat
		621		1,010

* Excuse the box on top, I don't know how to get rid of it haha.

So basically if I keep on eating the same amount I burn, I won't lose any weight. I can imagine how frustrating it is going to be for people on (crazy/expensive) diet who aren't informed about this. I shall be more careful tomorrow, which is going to be tough because tomorrow's conference will be laden with so much heavenly food! Be strong self, you can do this!
