My Unhealthy July

Yep, today is the day I post my unhealthy parts of the month. And... This month my diet went on a vacation, as said before I have been invited to a lot of parties, celebrations... etc. (Good thing that I'm not going to visit my grandmother this year, otherwise there would have been more cake and candy on the menu).

The list seems a bit extreme, but I have (more/ less) exercised a great part of the month. Which is great, hopefully this... fat food period will be over as the school soon begins (in a couple of weeks).

The List contains of:
1 x ice cream sandwich
1 x rainbow ice cream (just a little)
3 x brownie muffins
1 x chicken burrito
2 x portions of pierogi
1 x normal twister ice cream
10 x mini twister ice cream (yes, I love twister ice cream it's a plus they are low in kcal)
1 x portion of noodles
2 x almond magnum ice cream
1 x apple pastry
½ apple cake
1 x tiramusi dessert
7 x chocolate cookies
1 x mini bounty
2 x glasses of Fanta Exotic
1 x portion of microwaved pop corns
1 x slice of cake (called 'drømmekage' in Danish)
1 x isis caramel bar (low in sugar, as this brand customize their products to diabetics)
3 x slices of pepperoni pizza
1 x huge soft ice with vanilla and strawberry
?? x grill food (I lost count as my parents grilled for almost everyday in the last 2 weeks of July)
1 x time at the Italian buffet
2-3 x times at the Chinese buffet
1-2 x portions of homemade ice cream with homemade berry sauce
?? x pancakes (yes, again my mother happily made me pancakes)

So July is ending...

Tomorrow it's the last day of July - what a messy month :/
Well that's the annoying part about making plans; they don't always turn out the way you want them to.

Fitness:
Morning: 30 min on the cross trainer, a few exercises (focus on the legs)
Evening: 30 min on the cross trainer, a few exercises (focus on the legs)

The calorie burn is about 600 kcal (more or less, typically more)

The reason why I'm dividing my day like this is that I get easily bored, it's a lame excuse, but at least I found a solution to handle my getting-in-shape-plan.

No Excuses

Yeah... I have a million excuses for why I'm not active on my blog. Like, I live with my parents over the summer - and they are renovating their house etc.

Maybe I just want this change bad enough? Or maybe I'm just too lazy to care? Or too lazy to do anything about it? ... There might be even more than I can imagine... Or not?

Anyway, I need to pull myself together and start and acting instead of just dreaming about it. I have been going to the fitness and so on... But I haven't been eating right - which just does not make any changes (yes, I might put the blame on my family for celebrating birthdays, BBQ, etc.), I need to resist this kind of way of thinking.

Example, yesterday wasn't too bad. But I didn't go to the gym...
Breakfast: a few pancakes with organic Italian plum jam, and a glass of water.
Lunch: a few meatballs (homemade, and yes it is so Scandinavian) with garlic bread.
Snack: a big strawberry-rhubarb smoothie.
Dinner: popcorn and cola (I went to the movies with a friend).

and...

this morning I ate 3 buns with raisins (with no butter) - it could have been worse, but it isn't the healthiest breakfast (I don't consider white bake-work, pancakes as healthy breakfast meals - there are recipes which offers a healthier version of it, but again... There are other things. Like I typically eat oatmeal for breakfast, it's easy and healthy. I have been looking at Bran flakes, it should be an even healthier option than oatmeal - the only minus is; you need milk to eat bran flakes and I'm lactose intolerant. Yes, I can go for lactose free milk, but it is pricey!!!! or milk with 0,1 % fat with minimum amount of portion).

Hopefully, it will turn out better than it has so far...

The Beginning

Hey, just a little status.

Today I'm going to drink my first protein shake (well it is pure casein), and I'm only going to drink it every night before I go to bed - after traning. Let's see how it will work.

I took these pictures in the morning, before I went for a run (just to keep a status).
