theres this thing i forgot to mention...

about the food diary. so apparently it seems to also have to work with adequate exercise (duh) and...yeah. regular habits.
lets see what was on today's menu:
breakfast: an apple sandwich (two slices of toast and one apple. this has got to be the best and healthiest of jelly sandwiches. couple years ago my brother (who is always telling me im fat) told me one of the ways to lose weight was eat fruit with bread/toast. i scorned the idea then and still bought butter spread and jam. now i totally get it. it tastes great, its fresh, and calorie wise, no guilt (other than sugar au natural ). slice the apple in flat pieces and there you have your "apple spread" goes well with mango, banana, and sweet kiwi too! (but apples me fave :P)
lunch: a rice box. yes, indeed, guilty as charged. but couldnt help it. i was working tres hard this morning. talked nonstop for two hours repeating myself with intro of the language center. so i deserved this soul food. haha. taiwanese soul food. and, then there was the yummy 15 nt drink. again. no guilt there :P
hey guess what? no in between snacks today!
dinner: adequate portion of rice with onions stir fried with canned tuna (yum!) and lightly stir fried cabbage with garlic.
two finger bananas, 10 wasabi coated cashews (i had to force meself to stop at 10) annnd maybe if i get the munchies later tonight, an apple!

so i have discovered, when you live on a students budget (or any kind of money saving budget actually) you get more creative and healthy with food!! apples and toast? my kinda breakfast for at least one year. and apples are cheap and fresh too! one for 10 nt. ill have two please! its been a while since ive started eating fruit everyday. and it feels better. to know that you are putting natural stuff into your body, better than before, anyway, when i didnt eat fruit everyday. so i recommend a fruit a day. minimum.
another incentive to really get serious and lose some jiggly tummy is that ive made a bet with this friend. he is trying to gain weight at the moment for a reason too long to explain. but bottom line is, he has to get back to regular weight eventually. actually, in 6 months. SO. since hes still putting on weight, i have the head start. so i should win, right?!?!?
its on!
ps. having weight loss buddy/ies is cool :D
