burnt over 600 calories under 30 mins :)

i have decided i need to either grow 3 inchs or buy heels that do so. as a new year is coming - 2010, i want this to be one to achieve something big..well it is to me. so my aim is to grow. a lot. and to achieve this i have made a plan of what i will be starting from this day forward:

1) Bed 11pm at latest. - unless unfinished essays. other homework is left until the morn. priorities first.. :p
2) Eat my greens even if they are nasty.
3) No more late night snacking.
4) No more slouching. it can bring your height down by about 2-3 inchs.
5) No ipod-touching and late night phone calls past midnight.
6) Stretch on.

I will actually be SO happy with myself, if i can at least succeed in this plan for longer than a month.. hopefully forever. but who knows? may even hang this on my wall, so i won't forget!

Also over the past year, i've noticed that my weight seems to stay the same on the scales but gaining inchs on my waist slowly as the year has gone on. so in a desperate plee to be 'average', i am stopping myself from bingeing on junk food between meals - despite the fact that i have a shop in the next room that caters to my every need! I am only going to snack if i am actually hungry - which i am all the time, but i will only eat if i am actually going to starve if i don't.

Because i've been snacking on too many chocolate bars lately (thanks to eilis, tempting me all the time), once i get hooked on something i can't stop myself (this goes back to my addiction post). So from now on i am counting the calories for each chocolate bar i eat, once i get home i will have to burn out all those calories on my exercise bike/treadmill. This will stop me from being tempted to snacking again.



Today, after a lot of heavy sweating and panting, i lost an entire chocolate bar out of my system. I ate a wispa gold chocolate bar which was 260 calories, so out of curiousity i googled the daily intake for calories:

"Every 3,500 calories is equivalent to one pound"
(2000 calories a day for women)

i was so mad at myself, because in the end i ate two wispa golds which meant i swallowed 520 calories in one go..and that was just a snack! I decided to go on the treadmill and try lose those calories i just gained. After, i felt numb, dizzy, weak and nautious - but it was SO worth it! i lost that 260 calories wooo.. i actually exercised! achievement.. i think it is at least, you guys probably can do better but i'm hopeless at exercise so im proud! I just can't believe it was that much effort just for eating two measly chocolate bars. well that's definately taught me a lesson for not thinking about what i'm actually eating.

now im gunna go to burn off the second chocolate bar too, as my punishment.
