Yesterday I attempted a honey oat bread recipe. As usual it turned out good and i ate more than i anticipated. This is partly due to my extreme dieting on 1200 calories.
Reading up on bread improvers on this fine morning makes me chuckle. Most people don't know what's in their bread! lol.
Yesterday I overheard a guy with a paunch tell the cashier about "cardio",in Foodworld.
In a few years he will realise that it is not possible to function normally at work or at home on such extremely low calories. He will either give up entirely or resort to steroids like most people.
Anyway, yesterday i did not fret about not tracking on mfp and actually slept without tracking a single food! This is good for my mental sanity. Maybe not so much for my blood sugar.
The prices of vegetables have been elevated for quite a few months now. Bittergourd at Rs. 60-65!! But i bought some anyway after not buying it 20 times.
Seeing the quantity of bread I have ingested now calls for bittergourd :P
It is interesting to note that the people with the fittest bodies are either extremely young (in college working at a physically demanding job like waitressing or PT or an athelete or construction) or are divorced or probably sick. Then there is another category of instagram models who are typically suffering from an eating disorder or are competitors doing it as a job or are on steroids. We seriously have no business comparing ourselves to them.
I have let myself even starve, going as low as 800 calories to achieve the ideal feminine waist only to get headaches, eye pain, fatigue and decreased neat. But obviously, as you have seen, my posts on facebook weren't appreciated at all! I realised I shouldn't bother when Shivi Joshi had the nerve to make fun of my post on portion size of chapathis.
In the long run, mental sanity and ability to enjoy food without the devil accusing you of eating bad carbs is the goal. Sure, looking like barbie is nice. But lacking the strength to carry grocery bags and run a kitchen is annoying.
I think I now get why older people laugh and shrug when an overenthusiastic youngster extols the virtues of the gym life.
That is a luxury of a person who doesn't have much responsibilities. I'm not making excuses.I've lifted for 7 years, suffered from various injuries, never gave up; but eventually old age catches up and your joints and ligaments don't appreciate the excess stress put on it.
Face it, we lift just 6 kg to 10 kg maximum. Why this idiocy of lifting more than that?
Oh right, trying to gain the acceptance of a lifting community online which you'll never get.
The truth is, you'll never fit in.A lot of people are on steroids. A mere handful admits that.
And its a sad thing that a lot of youth get into the gym for a six pack, because it is not sustainable.
