Road to be healthier
The people on my instagram have hot bodies and I am jealous of them.
So I've been tracking my calorie intake for about a week or so now (haha shut up guys I want to get rid of my belly pooch and my thunder thighs), and I must say, I've been pretty surprised by how hard it is to hit my daily recommended goal! I've been reading up and supposedly the way to lose all them fats is to make sure I'm eating enough - so... I guess my pooch and the stubborn thigh fats makes sense? (Also, let's get this straight ah, I eat a whole lot of junk. I'm picky when it comes to meals, but when you give me desert or a bag of chips.... I'll be your BFF right until I finish that snack)
(This is all part of my aim to be healthier haha let's start with food and theeeennnn slowwwwwllllyyyyyy progress to incorporating proper exercise into my daily life)
So I've been using HPB's idat to track my daily intake. I opted for this app because it includes the local Singaporean dishes, which makes it easy when I eat at home or in coffee shops.
So anyway, according to this app, I need to eat around 1600 calories to maintain my body weight. I put my lifestyle as sedentary because I'm literally at home/in lecture theaters/ slacking around with M most of my time. I'm not sure if this is right, but the other options all seem pretty far fetched because I don't really exercise. Unless you count the walk to the MRT station as exercise? I wouldn't think so.
Initially, I thought it'd be hard to keep within that range but man, I'm so surprised that I actually fail to reach it on most days. I think it's because my daily routine timings are quite screwed... I wake up and feel like it's too early to eat, considering the fact that I'll still sleep for another hour in the train (hee). By the time I reach school, I'll be too late for class to get breakfast so I just wait until the lecturer gives me a break (probably about 11). So by the time I eat my "breakfast", I'd be too stuffed to eat a proper lunch so I'll just get a few (unhealthy) snacks here and there. By the time I end school, I ignore everything around me and literally run for the bus that gets me out of school... and when I reach home, I'd be too exhausted to eat a proper meal. So I snack some more.
The days that I'm slightly over are usually when I'm out with M and our life goal seems to be to EATALLTHEFOOD or because we're celebrating something (in this week's case, M's birthday). It's a lot easier to go over when you're around a boy who NEVER gets fat despite shovelling truckloads of junk into his system. I hate boysssssssssssssss.
I know the best way to ensure you're getting proper nutrition is by preparing your own food, but every time I buy ingredients for myself it seems to magically disappear into the stomachs of my family members. I want to throw a bitch fit everytime, but I also realize that they have raised and fed me for all these years, so I can't possibly throw a tantrum when they finish my broccoli.
Attempting to be healthy is so hard. Why can't I just have a hot body while finishing up my assignments why I mean isn't that hard enough????????
