Pump Up
Mood: hungry
Now Playing: The Chemical Brothers
If only thinking about exercising had even a tenth of the effect that actually exercising does.
I see now why when I was in my early twenties I could eat anything and never balloon to whale proportions: I would eat the 'anything' and not the actual nutritious meals. Jeez, I thought a pot noodle was a square meal.
Now that I live alone, eating some form of vegetable - heck eating anything - has become a daily challenge. Combined with no sleep, and the drop in food intake has the same effect that took a year's worth of painful dieting to achieve two years back.
So, I can snack on chips, bacon sangas, sashimi, chocolate bars all day, and not gain any weight again. All I have to do is not eat square meals. Hmmm. Doesn't sound the best recipe for healthy living.
Although, true to form, still not pleased with the skinniness. My stomach's not flat. Well, it's fairly flat, but you poke a finger and it feels squishy flesh, not bouncy muscle, under the skin. It's slim, but not toned. Fit sounds better than slim to me.
I know full well that a quick blast of situps or pressups (ouch) a few times a week would tighten the muscles. But..... thinking about it seems so much more sensible and easy to fit into your life than actually doing it.
Arrrgh. If I slept more, I could start running again. Well, no, make that if I were a completely different person who didn't procrastinate and make excuses, I could start running again.
I did manage to eat some carrots last Thursday. It was only two days since I'd microwaved them. Gotta count for something.
