No Excuses

A faster metabolism = more calories burned!! And once you have built more muscle, you PERMANENTLY increase your calorie burn!! The more lean muscle on your body, the more calories you burn at rest… JUST BEING ALIVE!!!

1. Thou Shalt Not Wear Pants that Stretch
Your clothing is an early-warning system for weight gain. When it’s getting hard to snap your jeans, you know it’s time to be vigilant. Wearing stretchy clothes allows you to live in ignorance of how your body is growing, making it easier to pack on pounds without knowing it.
2. Thou Shalt Not Keep Fat Clothes in Your Closet
When you keep the clothes you wore at an unhealthy weight, it gives you a back-up plan if the pounds don’t come off. Instead, force yourself to stay on track by 86ing your “fat pants.”
3. Thou Shalt Not Eat Meat That Walks on Four Legs More Than Once a Week
Meat that comes from an animal with 4 legs is higher in saturated fat (the unhealthy kind) than that which comes from 2-legged animals such as chickens, or animals with no legs, like fish. Plus: women who eat large amounts of red meat more than once a week have a 50% higher chance of dying from heart disease and have higher cancer rates.
4. Thou Shalt Not Graze
Plan your meal before you open the refrigerator, get what you need, and close the door. Opening it throughout the day leads to impulsive choices and overeating.
5. Thou Shalt Not Eat After 7:30pm
When you eat late at night you are more likely to be eating in front of the TV (when you won’t pay attention to how much you’re putting in your mouth) and you’re more likely to pick high-calorie snacks.

6. Thou Shalt Not Pile Food More than 1 Inch High or Within 2 Inches of the Plate Edge
Larger portions equal more calories. ‘Nuff said.
7. Thou Shalt Not Chew Food Less than 20 Times Per Bite
Chewing allows your body to realize that you are eating food, prompting it to create a sensation of fullness at the appropriate time. When you don’t chew enough, you get ahead of that process, eating well past when you are actually satisfied.
8. Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Plate
Spend your day nibbling bites on someone else’s sandwich or afternoon snack, and you will add on 1,000 calories easy.
9. Thou Shalt Not Carry Small Bills
Nothing loves a small bill better than a vending machine. When you have them at the ready, you are one step closer to an impulsive, calorie-loaded afternoon slip up.
10. Thou Shalt Not Eat While Standing Up
Eating sitting down enables you to be aware of what you’re eating and eat it slowly so that your body can tell you your full before it’s too late.


I’m going to disagree with no 1 just because yoga pants make my butt look gorgeous

It’s been a while since I updated.

CW: 77kg! (169.4 lbs)

I broke up with my boyfriend last week and it’s taken a real toll on me. All of my friends and family have been really supportive though and unfortunately sometimes the support comes in the form of chocolate and I GAINED a kilo! But this week I’ve been strict with myself, I need to save money and eat healthy so I  have basically been living on chicken and salad, eggs, and salmon. I’ve also been to the gym the past two days and it feels so good to get back into it after such a long absence from hurting my foot. Hopefully I can keep this up. I’m trying to find alternatives to things I would usually eat and drink in social situations (normally have beer/chips/dip/olives etc.) so now i’m thinking Tzatziki  with cucumbers and Hommus with carrots. I’m meeting a friend after work for half price cocktails so I should probably choose one with the least amount of sugar! The last thing I want is to undo all of my hard work.

OK so it’s the weekend of my Birthday and I’m beind very naughty, that’s why I’m starting my diet properly as of next week.

Yesterday I had:

Breakfast:Veggie Roll and Soy Chai Latte ( I felt quite sick in my stomach after)

Lunch: Carrot, apple, ginger and watermelon juice. SO GOOD.

Dinner: Veggier curry with a pice of wholemeal toast

Snack: Shared a bowl of popcorn with the boyfriend.

Not as bad as I thought but today I’ve had:

1 Hot dog with onions, mustard, and ketchup

1 apple and custard lattice

For dinne I will be having chicken with mashed potato and veggies and Key Lime Pie for desert ( that I made). Again I’m not on my proper diet yet so this is normal eating,  don’t think it’s too bad. Definitly need to hit he gym next week. HARD.

To be able to wear something like this and to look DAMN GOOD.
