On a side note, I think both you (and Mike) need to bring something like a sandwich or two to uni. They're awesome as either a meal or a snack, depending on how much you eat at a time, and they're more filling than chocolate or chips too Ideally what you want to aim for is eating every 3-4 hours, so it's just a matter of figuring what type of foods and in what quantities can keep you going for that long without snacking

Pfft, sandwiches I'll bring a rack of lamb, that'll keep me snack-happilicious!

Its hard when one is at uni like 8-12 hours a day, 5 days a week. Some days are really good and I dont eat too much crap, but other days (like today), I have way too much junk. The Filmsoc office has so much junk food in it and it is cheap and right infront of me, so i just eat it.
Today, finally, I begin my diet. (Yes Rob, I have finally begun)

This diet still allows for the creme eggs every now and then though.

Ooohhhhh

Back when I was doing musicals and we all had to sell those boxes of fundraising chocolate (40 in a pack, each cast member had to sell at least two boxes I think...) I had the same problem >.< it's there, it's easy to grab, etc. eeeek

and congrats on deciding to start on a new diet!

Pfft, sandwiches I'll bring a rack of lamb, that'll keep me snack-happilicious!

Well, I suggested sandwiches because they can easily be wrapped up and thrown into a bag, but if you want to toss in a rack of lamb straight out of the oven complete with gravy be my guest (or maybe not, but this is just the mental image I had when I read your post lol)

yay welcome to the thread Kegs!

And yes, a food diary is awesome by means of really knowing what goes in. I'm too scared to write mine at the moment, lol... when I'm mobile to eat more than the crap I'm currently eating (or at least, eat the crap but be mobile enough to exercise it off) then I shall rejoin the awesome ranks

welcome kegs!

actually thats sounds like a great idea i might want to start a food diary

 

[glitterfairy]

Breakfast: slept through had a total kick-butt fantasy-esque dream where I was on a quest to return this magical item and riding dragons and running away from bad guys though, so it was worth it!

Lunch: Some chicken nuggets

Evening snack: two slices of buttered bread, some lobster or crab meat (can't remember which)

Dinner:some roast chicken and mashed potato


Study: Have given thought to doing readings for uni on thursday On on hand, it's "Noooo I have to do readings", on the other it's "YAY I'M GOING TO UNI ON THURSDAY!!!" If you see me hiking around campus on my crutches, say hi!

Exercise: Did my ankle exercises with the theraband and some weight transfer exercises on a doubled-up quilt (unfortunately we don't have the uber-cool squishy block my physio has). I did a bit of walking from one end of the house to the other - slowly and supported by crutches - and then did some unassisted walking in circles around the room finished off with a few slow releves supported by dining room chair. My ankle had better be buff tomorrow

When ankle is a bit stronger I want to get back into yoga and pilates exercises. After being immobile for over a week, I'm not liking the prospect of having to regain all that muscle I've lost (if not used, muscle deteriorates after about 3 days...)

Is Mooncake like Japanese Bean Paste?

i think it is, except no jap? yeh i dunno. all i know is that its sickeningly sweet (yum), has a weird egg that i don't eat and that i always fall asleep right after it (i just woke up) , and it hurts my teeth so that means it has a poopload of sugar. ergh im sleepy! i wanted to exercise after that 600 calories not sleep!

 

[glitterfairy]

ohhhh my house just got worse

I just found an entire packet - unopened! - of Hershey's Kisses!!!

I just had two. I see myself going back for more...

 

[AsyLum]

Breakfast: 2 slices of toast
Lunch: Some asian stuff
Pre-Dinner: Maccas

Exercise: I tried running, lasted about 15 minutes, and my body is sore, rofl. I haven't been active for a while Going to do a plan to get more aerobic.

Julnhi - if you've been eating a lot of bananas and your period is coming soon, it's likely you're dealing with a water retention problem. I "put on" about three kilos once because I was eating heaps of bananas It went away eventually, but was scary while the weight was there

Breakfast: Some mashed potato
Lunch: Two slices of toast with butter
Snack: Lots of hershey's kisses More than a handful...
Dinner:Gnocci with this tomato pasta sauce thingy. Yum yum!

Study: oh crap I said I'd do my readings but I haven't yet I have lots of breaktimes tomorrow on campus though, can probably read during breaks...

Exercise:Did various exercises at physio. Nothing extensive though... still need my ankle to be able to take on more weight


On a "bright" side, I weighed myself today and I've actually lost a few kilos. I think I've put on a bit of body fat due to total lack of exercise though, so that just means I've lost heaps of muscle >.< oh nooooooooo

 

[iambored]

julnhi - as well as the above there's probably a bit of a difference between the two scales as well.

breakfast - weetbix with apricots (wow, cereal is rare for me)
morning tea - cheese, olives
lunch - bread roll, ham, lettuce, tomato
arvo tea - cheese, olives (addicted much?), smoothie, chocolate
dinner - lasagne

study - notes from today.
exercise - if i don't get motivated/into a habit at this age i never will :S
