3/6/12
HEY THERE alrighty, today:
Breakfast: A cup of shredded wheat cereal and 1/4 a cup of skim milk and an egg white. (Been trying to have protein in every meal!)
Lunch: A sandwich with whole wheat bread with turkey, cucumbers, peppers, jalapenos, lettuce and tomato. VEGGIE FILLED WIF NO CHEESE PLEASE!
Snack: A peach Chobani yogurt and an apple, a coffee with some honey.
Dinner: My favorite salad, spinach leaves with strawberries and feta cheese with olive oil dressing! And three slices of grilled chicken, for that protein piece.
WORKOUT: Ran for 20 minutes, walked for ten. Went just over three miles. Could’ve done more cardio.
All in all, today was okay. Its just one of those days where I feel like I could’ve done better, even if everything I ate was healthy. I weighed in at 134 today, when the other morning I was 129. My weight always fluctuates dramatically like that but sometimes its just like COME ON, ya dig? Well, one step at a time! I’m spending time with mary-jane tonight so I need to keep myself from binging like she often tricks me into doing… bitch is tricky. Very tricky.
OFF TO DO SOME CRUNCHES! Chin up, bitches.
“Stop Telling Angelina Jolie to Eat a Cheeseburger” - by Kelsey Wallace
“Look, I get that Angelina Jolie is thin, and that she also burns the brightest of all of our Bright Hollywood Stars and is therefore subject to more scrutiny than your average woman. However, body snarking of the “eat a sammich, skinny” variety is hardly different from body snarking of the “stop eating sammiches, fatty” variety that we (hopefully) know better than to post in our Facebook feeds. Yet I’ve seen lots of people across the World Wide Web today—including people I know to be smart, savvy feminists—crack wise about Jolie’s arms, legs, and weight as if, because she’s beautiful and thin, policing and commenting on her body is more than acceptable.
According to the not-all-that-credible-except-for-maybe-Oscars-news outlet US magazine, “Jolie’s bony body ignited 3,399 tweets per minute.” Clearly a lot of folks are “concerned” with Jolie (an adult woman) and her lack of cheeseburgers, but they shouldn’t be.
In this image-obsessed culture, we have to fight against some pretty unrealistic and prevalent beauty standards, and the fat acceptance movement is helping us get there by reminding us that you can be healthy at every size. While pushing back against these norms, though, we have to remember that every size means every size, and it’s no cooler to tell an adult woman (or anyone) what to eat or how we think her body should look than it is to tell an adult woman she’s too fat. So stop telling Angelina Jolie to eat a cheeseburger! For all we know, she ate three of them on the way to the ceremony. Or maybe she hates cheeseburgers. Or maybe it’s not our problem and we shouldn’t worry about it. (It’s not our problem and we shouldn’t worry about it.)”

BANANA ICE CREAM
Just cut up some bananas, a little browned and put ‘em in the freezer! Then, when they’re frozen, blend that shit up and ENJOY! Maybe with some dark chocolate chips? Don’t mind if I do. I’ll post some pictures if I ever make it.
My Day
So, I went to the gym, ran for ten minutes at 7mph on the treadmill then did forty minutes on the elliptical on level 10! After that I did some suicides with a friend. Smoked her :) All in all, it was an okay workout, feeling some soreness.
- Breakfast: An egg white with a slice of multigrain and tea.
- Lunch: Mixed greens with red peppers, tofu, and mushrooms with balsamic and a Chobani blueberry yogurt.
- Snack: Skinny Caramel Macchiatto from Starbucks. (MERP! Low calorie but all those artificial sweeteners are not good for you! Not only do they have cancer agents but they also cause you to retain fat!)
- Dinner: Wild rice with chicken, and onions, and a salad with spinach, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, and feta cheese!
I need to eat more calories in the morning! I just never know what to make. More fruit would also not hurt. I don’t want to over do it with fruit because since it’s my last couple pounds I try to avoid things high in sugar. Remember, your intake should be like funnel, starting high in the morning and decreasing throughout the day! But about today I’m feeling good! A little worried I might get a tad too drunk tonight and binge eat. We’ll see, fingers crossed!
Chin up, bitches.
