G goes on a diet

Rain, Rain go away, I ran all over you today.

So it was pouring rain today, and like all good, normal, fit addicts, I thought: Gee, let’s go run 5km. Now.

So, I did. It was awesome. Some people I knew saw me and cheered me on.

Also, I stopped counting calories today. We went out for lunch and I had a sandwich and salad but then, I bought…an oatmeal cookie. Dun Dun Dunnnn. THEN because I was feeling good and because I wanted one, a mango smoothie. And for a moment I thought : Watch the calories, G. But then I realized that I didn’t give a flying f*ck about how many calories I ate. I was feeling good, healthy and wearing a shirt that had been tight a few weeks ago and that now fit me perfectly (so it was a school shirt. It still counts). So I’m deleting my myfitnesspal account. I’ll eat more than 1200 calories.

New Things!

You thought this was going to be as post about some kind of new object to article of clothing I got didn’t you? Admit it. Well it isn’t.

A few posts ago, I said that if you requested a tea, I’d try it and give a review. And I will. But on this lazy ( well, not really, crazy workout this morning) Saturday, I thought to myself “why not try EVERYTHING?” this was inspired by Pinterest. So, I decided to try any healthy recipe (I love cooking,its kind of my thing) that is requested of me. I’d add ‘and drink’ but it has to be homemade, because there are somethings that I can’t get because I’m in a different country than some of you (unless everyone on tumblr is Canadian…..didn’t think so)

So request away,mes amis!

Today so far, Yesterday so long

Yesterday went better than the day before. I cheated, but not as badly as I normally do. Need to drink more water.

So far today:

Plain yogurt :40 calories
Grapes :40 calories
Two of the cookies I made yesterday: 88 calories
Total from breakfast: 171 calories.

I’m going out prom dress looking (like I have the money to buy one now) and having lunch out. Already know what I’ll have and checked the calories. Jugo Juice’s southwest chicken wrap, 499 calories and water. Because there’s a Laura Secord there and I’m bound to get ice cream.

Queen of snacks

Yes, I am a compulsive snacker. I’ll eat any snack food. Anywhere, anytime. Especially of its sweet. So you can imagine my joy when I found a 30 calorie cookie recipe.

3 mashed bananas
2 cups rolled oats (aka quick oats)
1 tsp baking powder
Dash of salt
Dash of cinnamon
1\4 cup apple sauce
2\3 cup almond meal
1 tsp vanilla
1\3 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
Chocolate chips or raisins to fit your fancy.

Mash bananas, add vanilla and apple sauce, set aside. Mix oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, coconut and almond meal together. Add dry ingredients to wet. Fold in chocolate chips or raisins.

Bake at 350F for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
