lets get back into it.

Satay Pad Thai with a crap load of vegetables - I made sure of it!!

leafy green vegetable soup, cauliflower with beef and peppers stir fry, pork strips and rice.

So today I met up with Faram and had a meeting with the printer because I am designing for his company. How professional do I sound? Designing for his company. Yeah. I am cool! Faram decided to shout me brunch because he basically woke me up and forced me to get out of bed to come meet up with him. I was pretty grouchy and skipped breakfast. We didn't get much of a choice at the food court so I ate some stir fry noodles and the lady asked what vegetables I wanted... I thought to myself, here is my chance to shine!! And so I went crazy with the vegetables and I think she was annoyed... probably because I was that asian who was making sure I got my moneys worth. Hahaha, never mess with me. I am the ultimate stingy person =P

I didn't really eat much the rest of the day because I was running around and was pretty busy with uni work and what not. So I basically had dinner and then kept working. And dinner is always a good option at home :)

Food, glorious food!


Everything I have eaten the past week. This is something new that I am testing out because I want to know whether it has made a bigger impact... to see everything all together. I found this website that shows what people eat around the world. The way they set out the food was exactly as I pictured and it was so much more effective to see all that food all together on the table.

Here is the link: What the World Eats

Hope this is something different. Should be getting my friend's food diary entries soon too and post it up!

Day Three

Some new ideas

Alright, so I have disappeared for a while due to personal reasons and needed to calm the hell down. But I have been taking photos of my food and have been thinking of new ways to make my blog a bit more interesting.

After the presentation I realised that I needed to step up my game. So after looking at my blog, which I still like a lot, I thought maybe I could jazz it up and make it more guilty. When you first look at the blog, its filled with text and images. I thought about what makes me feel guilty the most... was it the photo itself or was it just the fact that I ate it? I have come to realise that no matter what I eat, when I take a photo of it, I will have some sort of emotion going through my head. It's the photo that creates the impact, that drives my emotion. This is where I came up with the idea of using my photos to create more impact. Whenever I do my blogs, I tend to split the photos up and include a bunch of text in bteween them. I think what I want to do is to have a week where I just post up a shit load of photos... of everything I have eaten that week. I think that would overwhelm me! I remember watching some healthy food show and what they did was, they placed every single item that they ate in the week all on one small table. It looked so gross because of all the junk food. And it worked!

Another thing that I will be doing is getting a friend each week to document everything that they eat. It might not be them taking photos because I understand that not everyone carries a camera around with them... but as long as they somehow document what they eat, even if it was jotted down on a peice of paper. I'm still figuring out whether to post it all on this blog or whether to link the blog. I need to do some more research on how these blogs work. But for now, she is in the process of documenting everything :)

So lets see how this goes.

Last couple of days haven't been too good.

Ok so I haven't updated this lately because 1. too busy with work and other crazy uni work and 2. fucked up personal problems that make me want to curl up in a ball.

I haven't been eating much the last past couple of days. It's weird because when you look at other entries, I eat so much during the day. And then now, it's basically two meals a day. I skip breakfast or I don't eat dinner. The last couple of days I have been so physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted. Friday night and Saturday morning was my breaking point where I was hysterically crying like never before and did not eat anything. It was a mixture of everything happening all at once. I had personal problems and because of that I was stressed out because I just wanted to do my uni work but I couldn't concentrate. Usually food would make things better, but I was past the point of wanting food. I felt sick and I didn't want anything. I just wanted to get the hell out. Yeah so the past couple of days were hell. I was a crazy woman.

Thursday
I went to uni and had a lot of work to do. I had my lecture and then spent the rest of the day in the library doing work. So I didn't really eat much except for a sandwich and a burger. Even when I did get home, I didn't have any dinner because I ate the burger so late in the afternoon. Sooo not good for my body. But no time to think about my body!



Friday
So Friday was a majorly fucked up day for me. I went to uni with just eating cheese on toast. After having my tuts and whatnot, I went straight home to work more and was in such a mind frame where I just wanted to complete everything. I barely ate anything and when I was slightly hungry it was a bowl of fried rice. That night, hell broke loose and I basically broke down and after that was just plain fucked up. Oh and I didn't eat any dinner.





Saturday
Went to work, broke down again and basically got sent home. Realised that I really needed something to eat, because I needed to calm the fuck down and not hyperventilate, I got my sandwich but the bitch didn't toast it the way I liked it so I ate it with no passion.


Then when I did get home, didn't eat anything the rest of the day because I slept. I realised I needed sleep seeing as the night before I stayed up bawling my eyes out. So I slept and felt slightly better. Everything was a bit clearer. For dinner I just ate some more fried rice because I just didn't want to waste precious time and just wanted to focus on my assignment.



Sunday
I decided to be that annoying sister and blow in a romantic lunch date between my sister and her bf. They were making burritos and I wanted some!! Obviously they were like "gooooo awayyyyyyy, it's our anniversary!!" but I still managed to steal some :) I didn't get a chance to take a photo seeing as I was under pressure to take as much as possible but here is a photo I found.


That night I had to go to work for stocktake which is oh so fun. We had an overload of pizzas... Crust Pizza which is amazing. So so amazing. Once again, i'm at work with a bunch of guys and i'm the only girl basically - I had to fight for my pizza before these ever hungry men got to it. So I didn't get to take photos until afterwards... but they should give you enough details for you to understand how much there was!



Monday
Had a banana for breakfast and then had that presentation. Spent the day sulking. Got home and caught up with some sleep seeing as the night before I stayed up trying to clear my head and talk about feelings and shit. I needed to be a sane person for the presentation. When I woke up, I made myself a ham, cheese and tomato base toast and then straight after that was dinner. And then little bits and peices afterwards... to waste time. Ah there we go, something that i'm usually doing.






In all honesty, the past couple of days have not been good for me. Health wise, I am probably ruining my body! But don't worry, this week I plan to get back into it all over again. Starting with a brunch date with Beau tmr! And we all know how much me and Beau eat together ;)

Eff you work.

I had to work today which sucks so bad because I never work on a weekday and it just took up my entire day. I didn't eat much today but I had organised a cooked dinner with Nicole again this week. So that was good news! I have been so busy to organise a dinner with a friend last week and plus, everyone else was really busy. So tonight, I made sure we made the most of it.

The only thing I ate today was a banana on my way to work and my favourite chicken sandwich with the avocado, lettuce and tomato. So good. It lasted me all day. I think it's going to be the sandwich to order from now on... it makes me feel good about myself. And feeling good about myself is a positive thing :)



When I got to Nicole's house, her parents had actually already started to cook. Which was unexpected but not that bad. Me and Nicole had already planned to cook burritos that night because it was quick and easy and all the ingredients were found in the fridge. We found lettuce, tomato, carrot, avocado and cheese... all of which were needed in the burritos! The only thing we needed was chicken and bread. So when we went out to buy it, we came back and her parents had started cooking!! I warned them that I reallllyyyy needed to be healthy. So they listened. And had plenty of vegetables just for me :) While they were cooking, me and Nicole couldn't handle ourselves and snacked on biscuits.... it was just there!!



Ok this wasn't the healthy bit but it was just as good! Cut up potatoes and cooked so nicely :)

Just pop it into the microwave! And vegies are cooked!

Tomato, avocado, basil and dressing.

Yummy broccoli :)

Vegies just for me haha

Lamb with roast carrots!

My meal :)


Although me and Nicole didn't get to cook, we plan to do it again sometime soon. We were just very proud of thinking of burritos as our quick and easy meal. And I know this sounds so, so lame but I did not get tired at the thought of burritos. The last time I was at her house and we tried to think of something to cook, I was just so exhausted thinking about all the effort and preparation. But maybe it's also because there was the majority of the ingredients already in the fridge, it made me feel much more relaxed.

Today was hell.

I did not eat anything until 1pm.


I was that stressed, I was that busy, I did not even think ONCE about food. And even when I did finally eat something, I completely forgot to take a photo of it. I know, I know, I broke the rule. But I was sooo exhausted and stressed and needed to run to uni.

But for the sake of putting up a photo, this is what I ate. Sushi! Two rolls. A tuna and avocado roll and a California roll. Both my favourite.


And then after that I didn't eat anything else until dinner. Which was not with the family but mum had left me some dinner. How sweet.


And then my de-stress food came along.





Argh today has just been crazy for me. And food was just the last thing on my mind. I think maybe a smoothie might help sometimes. But even just the thought of chopping up fruits stresses me out because of the time factor. Everything is just all about time with me!

A new week of stress.


Today I am dying. I got to uni without eating any breakfast and was so, so hungry that I got food from the canteen and ate it all in one go without thinking. It was a tomato and cheese toast... with multigrain bread! Win! And if you must know, cheese is part of the food pyramid, so it's not that bad!

It looks gross. I have no idea why... Maybe it's the colouring of the bread.

Then I found a Twirl bar in my bag which made me happy. I must have bought it the other day and never got round to eating it!

HELLO!


When I got home later on, my tummy was rumbling and then realised I hadn't had any lunch yet. I had so much work to do so I made myself my quick and easy dish which was pasta. Again. I was pretty hungry so what I did was grabbed some Italian bread, toasted it and had it with garlic olive oil. Yeah, I was cool like that. And olive oil is good for you!



For dinner, mum had cooked a lot of different dishes... I think it was because Dominik was over. There was a lot to eat which was good! And once again, it was filled with an array of vegetables and just the right serving of meats.

Tofu, little minced beef with tomato soup

Leafy green vegetables, carrots, corn and beef.

Marinated pork


Then because my sister and her boyfriend are disgusting and in love, they made chocolate dipped strawberries and were nice enough to give me two of them :)

I did not feel like third wheel at all!


Once again, today was just a rush. Lots of running around, telling people to go away and leave me alone, forgetting to eat... I am just glad I have dinner made for me. And this time it was good dinner!!


Nobody judge me!
