Holy fuck. Basically all on food, clothes (shh I needed more haha), bus fare, and alcohol. 100% sure I’ve gained tons.
Hungover now, going out again tonight awwwwya
I’m on vacation and I don’t think I’ll have access to a scale. I’m nervous/freaked, but hoping by the end of it I wont care :)
Burn, baby, burn.
Your body is already a fat-burning machine. All you need to do is turn up that furnace so you’re torching even more fat. Here’s how.
DON’T STARVE.
Restricting food kills your metabolism.
TURN IN EARLY.
People who sleep less and are under more stress may have more visceral (abdominal) fat, which interferes with metabolism.
GO ORGANIC.
Pollutants from pesticides may hinder the energy-burning process.
STAND UP.
Breaking up long periods of downtime increases fat burning.
KEEP IT CHILLED.
Drinking six cups of cold water a day can raise your resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily. (That adds up!)
GET SPICY.
Capsaicin, a compound that is found in chili peppers, can fire up your metabolism.
SIP COFFEE OR TEA.
Caffeine can boost your metabolism.
FIGHT FAT WITH FIBRE.
It can increase fat burning by 30 percent. Aim for 25 grams of fibre a day.
EAT IRON-RICH FOODS.
Iron is essential for carrying the oxygen your muscles need to burn fat.I need to do more of this. I suck sometimes :(
I just checked my grade report online. The class that I was absolutely certain I would have JUST passed (aka 65%) I GOT AN A. Development in the Middle Years. not sure the percent. But I was expecting a C. AN A! I wrote the final exam worth 60% of my mark when I was SO sick (bronchitis and a lung infection) on no sleep, and zero studying.
WHAT IS MY LIFE?!?! so happy.
AND my gpa is still above 4.00 .. 4.09. booyah
Can’t wait! Finally done packing. Checked baggage allowance: 23 kg. My bad? 21 kg. Hell yeah. Although I just messaged my dad, asking if I could invite my boyfriend for dinner tomorrow evening. His response? “Sure! Can I invite (insert homewrecking bitch girlfriend’s name here) to dinner too?” What can I say? I had to say yes. Awesome. Can’t wait for THAT to be over.
Anyways. Then a week later we leave for Scotland! So excited to leave Canada for the first time, ever. See real live castles, go to my first ever wedding.. I just.. can’t wait.
This being said.. I’m curious how my eating will be. I’m sure Vancouver will be terrible. There’s so many restaurants that I want to go back to, and eat! Hopefully I’ll get lots of movement in throughout that week! (walking etc.). Scotland on the otherhand, I’m sure will be super healthy! We’re staying with his family, so all my meals will be cooked for me (almost all..) and we have lots of activities planned. Hikes, walks etc. I can’t wait!
I might not be all that active while in Scotland (no access to computer I don’t think!) but while in Vancouver I’ll have my phone.
I can’t wait to leave! In less than 24 hours I’ll be in Vancouver!
(because obviously I wont do it while on vacation)
so starting June 1, I’ll be doing it. yup. :)
