Dieting, Writing, Cine Europa & Chuseok

I am super excited for the Cine Europa 14. *Yes, I a movie buff like that* I looked all over the internet for the schedule and the posters/synopsis of the movies and I think I managed to get them all. But the posters in that entry is not going to be enough. I need to know the schedule. Darn it. I will go there later to check if they already have the schedule posted. Then I can map out my afternoons. I will definitely not eat any chips when I go there. I really can't go home during the weekend to attend Joy's product meeting since I have to watch the movies that are playing this weekend. I know she understands. If she needs a before and after picture I will give it to her when I lose more weight. As of presstime I just lost more than a kilogram from the reset but that is probably because I cheat on my diet. ^.^ But the fact that I feel full and it's quite convenient for me, makes one kilogram one less than I had before. Seriously, I tend to gain more weight that it's worth.

I was actually supposed to go home for the weekend because it's the Chuseok festival in Korea. So if the movies that I want to watch at not going to be play or can be watched in other times during the weekday then I would go home. I have to come back on Monday because I have to get my BIR. And if I have time I would go to SSS on Tuesday. *Wait. That's it I really can't go home. I have way too many things to do.*

I also need to start writing up the next part of Yo,Bo! ^.^ I haven't started since the video for our team had needed my attention. I thought it would be done by now but someone asked me to make a change on the credits part. T_T,

I promise not to do something like this for anyone anymore. I have had enough I would focus on writing and just do what makes me happy.

*if we have a reliable healthcard by next year, I might not leave this place regardless of the things that I planned to do.* Working here gives me time to write. And since most things are blocked, I don't have a lot of distractions. But the recent changes are making me think that things are about to get really bad really quickly. A clout is afoot and I don't think I care for it very much.

It's Korean Thanksgiving till Tuesday so I want to be thankful for the challenges, good times and lessons I thus far. There were a lot that happened in such a short time. But I would really be thankful if I can loose the weight that I gained because of all of it.

It's the time to put the pedal to the metal. If I can control my urges, then things can work fine. I don't cheat on my boyfriend but I cheat on my diet. And that my friend is cheating on myself. T_T,

See you in the Cine Europa 14 screenings! ^.^

Personal note: I don't know about that avoid strenous exercise bit and athletic activity. My brother bought a bike and he bikes around the campus when he feels too energetic. If the weather was nice enough I think I can talk that 20-30 minute walk at the Ayala Triangle. So I hope it doesn't rain later.

I read a better version of what I want to write about in this article

Apparently there are three phases and I am just in Phase I - the 5 day reset. Phase II is what I need to do to reach my idea weight. And Phase III is what I can do when I have already reached my ideal weight which for me might just be 60-66 kg. I don't really want to go back to my 55kg self. Pretty scary looking.

This is ideal if I had a lot of money. But I don't. Poor me. So I will do the 5-day reset then do essentials after. If push comes to shove I might just do the essentials for the rest of the month and try Phase II next month.

 BTW, I am loving the wild strawberry Nutrimeal. I am such a strawberry fiend.

Day 4- 7 USANA Essentials

Weight : 78.4

Height: 5 ft 6.11 inches

Existing conditions:

Skin Asthma - with help of regular meds : gone (new ones coming out but dying out easily)
Menstual Cycle (no cramps no major problem)
Insomnia (didn't act up)

Apparent physical traits :
Skin condition is not as severe but relatively few changes
Double Chin (still here but not as toady)
Tadpole Belly (still here but not feeling as bloated as before)

Day 1 
Day 2
Day 3

I took the rest during work time. I took them in the morning before my day started. And I noticed that throughout the day, I was for lack of a better term, not as irate as I was before. I could handle my mood swings which was supposed to be dangerous around that time since I was in the middle of my period.

After the 7 day thing:
I discovered that I should have really checked my weight before I started. I would have discovered sooner that I was 83+ kg heavy. But that would have plunged me into a deep depression. But when I checked my weight again I was only 79 kg. I know I lost weight I could see and feel it.

So I went to the Mercury store to check with their machine. I took my old information there so I might was well do the same now.

I am 78.4 kgs! That is 172lbs and 11oz! My ideal weight is around 56.4 to 70.3 kgs! So I have to loose 6 kgs to be normal. But of course, I don't want to stop there. I am starting the 5-day reset today. But because of financial issues after I do the reset I would go back to just the essentials. Watch out for my 5-Day reset entries!

No RICE UPDATE + USANA essentials #45DNORICE

I haven't updated my meals lately since I have been busy but I am telling my future me that from Day 1 to now Day *can't remember what day it is actually. *checks* DAY 9! I still haven't eaten rice. There was one time that I forgot that I was on a no rice challenge and was thinking of what I was going to eat. I decided not to stick to an oatmeal alternative coz my brother (the biologist) told me that it increases acids in the tummy. So I didn't want to get hyper-acidity or something like that. Stomach problems are worse than voice problems for someone who talks for a living.

So far I only feel less hungry these days. And I am wondering why that is. I am a rice gang member and I got hungry a lot during those days. I likes to eat snacks a lot. But now, when I had to shun it, the cravings are lesser.

I will be starting the USANA essentials that my brother gave me last week. I have them in zip locks somewhere in my bags. One is the vitamins one and the other one is the minerals one. I forgot the names and I promised him that I would document everything that I would feel when I take them. He send me the information about but I have yet to find time to read them. But I will definitely write down the effects that I would feel in the next three days. I might start it later. Just in case. He told me the effects (side effects) have a particular malady that it might represent. It tells the person, "This is what might be wrong with you, you unhealthy lazy person."

I was worried about taking it when I still had my wounds infected since they might cancel out of not have the right effect for me since I was under a different kind of medication. Since my wounds look like they are healing, then I am more confident that it wouldn't have any effects that would be negative.

So I will take the 7-day before the 5 Day Reboot Program that my brother signed me up for. It takes a little bit more than my regular food allowance for myself. I hope things would pan out for me. But if it would help me lose weight without having to exercise (The weather is not cooperating with me lately) then it would be worth a try. Besides, nothing could be worse than that appetite suppressant I got from that Chinese drugstore. At the very least this meal replacement thing might just save me time.

I admit to eating bad stuff like lechon kawali and I even ate that sundae once since I started this no rice challenge. But the thing is that I might have to drink some coke later since I need to get the bad blood out of my body. My visitor that comes only twice a year has arrived. And I need to welcome it with a bang. *yes I know after my derma scolded me I know my mom would drag me to the obgyne next time* *dear god. I hate going to the doctor. Especially one that would stick cold metallic stuff into my hoohoo or press and pinch.* Oh well.

I need to find working weight scale. I want to know if I ever lost any weight. That might be a good motivation. But I am not hopeful. Someone as lazy as me wouldn't be that lucky. :-)

But hey, the only way this can make me sad is if I give up, right? So I won't. ^.^

Day # 4: Fitnesse & Fruit #45DNoRice

BRUNCH : oatmeal + scrambled eggs

Dinner: Chicken wings (2) + banana

Extra: Fitnesse & Fruit (as a snack)

Verdict: Need to curb snacking

Although it was okay to eat different alternatives to rice, I need to remember that my brother mentioned that oatmeal makes my stomach more acidic.

USANA: Decided to start the week before of essentials next weekend since the "side effects" might get in the way of regular work. It's funny how those side effects are said to be window to a malady that a person might have. My brother sent me some information and I would blog about that as soon as I use it.

Day # 3: Sundae On a Saturday Slip #45DNoRice

Breakfast: bread + chicken

Lunch: chicken + bread

Dinner: (skipped - fell asleep)

Extra: Double Hot fudge sundae

Verdict: Sundae Bad Alert!

Note: I had a bad case of sugar crash because of the Sundae that I ate. My head actually hurt because of what I did. In my defense I was going to the doctor and I was anticipating that I would get injections. Thank God I didn't. I still had to go through antibiotics.

Addamentum: Since I have to drink antibiotics 4x a day, I have to eat something before I do so. So I might not be able to eat just three times a day. I will still continue with the no rice thing, but I might have to eat more frequently so I can take my meds.

USANA: My brother decided to sell me some essentials (vitamins and minerals) and would put me on a 5-day program of USANA. I would replace meals with nutrimeal. Strawberry flavor! But I would do that in September. It's a little pricey. But it costs the same as going to the gym. If I can get the right vitamins and minerals while avoiding rice, then I think it would be much better. If I wanted to expel more energy, I can always go to Ayal triangle. But with the weird weather lately, I don't know if I can. That and my stupid wounds are in the way. *can barely walk*
