#I miss counted chapters there's guesstimated 14

[sibillascribbles08]

Put the first few paragraphs of chapter seven in before calling it for the day. Got through a good chunk ! Tomorrow is prolly gonna be really busy so hmmm we'll see

current word count: 21,109

[wrencatte]

the “original” “draft” of my kingdom hearts...mega fic (?) is missing 1 world and most of chapter 16 (maybe it will be chapter 17, if it will be chapter 17 then it’s missing all of chapter 17 and not relevant).

It’s at 67,835 words. It’s 16 chapters!

(I guess, 14 chapters if we subtract the missing world.)

This is not counting the added words from edits (i.e what’s posted) OR the several documents i have rewriting/editing the Wonderland chapters & THOSE added words (Wonderland IS in the original draft, but it has been redone slightly and will be redone again and those redones aren’t in there)

As of right now, I have 8 planned Disney/SE (non-Kingdom Hearts) worlds (I’m only one person, have mercy). Only 1 is written almost in full, 1 other is...in the works. That’s still 6 more -- one of them is, admittedly, not a full world set up. My outline has about 2 chapters per world (of varying length) with Arendelle having three chapters (??, why? how? that’s gonna change for sure. i wasn’t gonna add Frozen originally, but Frozen 2 gave me the PERFECT set up. im so excited), and that one SE world probably only being 1 chapter.

There is a rough guesstimate of the final chapter count being 36, but there’s room for expansion, especially since im trying to figure out the balance of front-loading vs back-loading and you know, denouements threatening to drag on and on. Too much I wanna write but not enough...room? Time? something?

It IS fanfiction, so I can add whatever i want, but this whole fic is for me (no matter how much I’d love people to read it and interact, ultimately this fic is for me) and that’s not just plot or anything, but also how I’m plotting it, why I’m plotting it, writing it, and the whole buffet. This is practice. This is outlined and planned ahead. It’s supposed to be tightly plotted but also but fanfiction. It’s been fun, this whole journey.

And, when I’m finally done, I’m going to get it BOUND.

Food Planning For Maximum Fat Loss In Minimum Time

Last chapter, we mentioned the "batch meal" process. This is my secret to eliminating anxiety around meals and having food ready at a moment's notice.

Here are the basics:

I'll then eat this same meal for lunch until Thursday.

Thursday night, I'll cook again to get me through the next few days.

I like Fage brand since they make plain full-fat and 2% greek yogurts. Chobani does not do this, from my knowledge.

Note: Don't buy the large containers since it's such a pain to correctly measure portion sizes. Just buy the small containers.

It's easy, it's simple, and it makes life so much easier.

Oh yeah, before I forget. Here's...

A stupid simple food prep "hack" that 90% of dieters drop the ball on, but will guarantee you perfect portion control and effortless weight loss

When you want to weigh your food into portions, how would you usually do it?

If you're like most people, you'll simply take the prepared food, put it on a bowl/plate and pop it on a scale. Subtract out (or "tare") the weight of the plate, and voila, you have the weight of your food.

Perfect, right? Wrong.

When you weigh foods (especially meat) after they're prepared, they're guaranteed to weigh less. This is due to the water weight of the food that's been lost during the cooking process.

Studies show up to 33% of weight in meats is lost after cooking.

And if you're counting your food intake based on the post-cooking, post-water-loss weight, yet comparing the serving size to the numbers on the nutrition panel, you may be understating your calorie intake.

Sure, this isn't a make-or-break thing if it's a one-off occurrence. And sure you can get by guesstimating when you buy food outside (which is rarely, I hope!)...

But anytime you cook at home, I highly suggest you weigh food before you cook.

Think of it this way...

When you're cooking up 8 oz. of boneless skinless chicken thighs (300 calories or so) with 1 tsp of coconut oil (50 calories or so) and some other spices and whatnot, you're at about 400 calories. Sounds like a decent-sized meal.

If you did this the wrong way, though, by weighing after you cooked...

Your 8 oz. of chicken would probably weigh 5 or 6 oz. at most. If you assume 6 oz. of chicken (225 calories) plus 1 tsp of oil (50 calories), you're now at 275 calories for the meal. Already off by 125 calories.

Add the fact that you're eating this same meal for 3 or 4 days, and you're already eating a cool 600 calories more than you thought for the week. Even worse, you may be making the same mistake with another meal in the day, meaning you could be off as much as 250-300 calories per day! In one week, that's 1750 calories more than you'd pictured, making weight loss much more difficult if you ask me!

This is just one of the many reasons people stick to their diets, but still, fail to see results.

It's the little things that add up and throw us off track. Don't let this happen to you.

Simply weigh your food before you cook, and you'll be much happier with how you look and progress toward your goals.

If you're making large batch meals, follow this process:

1. Weigh out the whole size of the meat beforehand (3 lbs. for example)

2. Know how big your serving size will be for each meal (8 oz. for example)

3. Diving the whole size of the meat by the serving size, to know how many portions you'll need

3 lbs = 48 oz

 48 oz/8 oz per serving = 6 servings

4. After cooking your food, weigh the whole batch.

Let's say the 48 oz. become 36 oz. after cooking

5. Divide the new sizes by the # of servings, and you have the new cooked-food serving size

36 oz/6 servings = 6 oz per serving

6. Now simply weigh and pack up the food into 6 oz. servings, and enjoy!

And, while we're on the topic of sizing up our food...

If you decide to grab some fast food for a change, keep decision making and unnecessary thinking to a minimum (and fat loss to a maximum), by eating one of these:

1. Chipotle salad bowls:

a) Chicken or steak (sometimes double), black beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, hot sauce.

b) If it's a heavy workout day, I'll sometimes also have some rice and a touch of sour cream.

c) I stay away from the cheese, guac, and other condiments since they can easily throw you out of your calorie balance.

d) I've read the nutrition panel on the Chipotle site like 50 times so I know this usually runs me around 450-650 calories depending on what I add in.

2. Subway

a) The food quality here is very poor, I'll admit, but it lets me count/control my calories which is a 100% win for weight loss

b) I'm a smaller guy and generally need 1800 calories or so if I'm looking to lean up a bit.

c) So I make sure my Subway lunches are right around the 600 calorie mark, for an even split of 1800 calories into 3 meals

d) This leaves me with a simple, but favorite choice of mine:

i. Black Forest Ham & Turkey on Toasted Footlong Wheat bread, with copious amounts of spicy mustard, tons of veggies, and no cheese. Perfecto!

e) I'll add in double meat sometimes for a protein boost, but for the most part, I'll keep to a single serving (try to avoid excess intake of processed, non-organic cold cuts)

3. Otherwise, you can stick to very simple sandwiches or salads

a) For sandwiches, have some simple cold cuts like ham, turkey or roast beef and some veggies on toasted bread or a wrap.

Skip the mayo or any dressing/sauces, since they are quick calorie bombs and it's hard to know how much of said condiment is in your meal.

Mustard and/or spicy mustard is my go-to condiment

You can get a sandwich with chicken breast too, and just have Frank's Red Hot or Cholula hot sauce

Skip the cheese, especially since I've seen delis put on 4-6 slices of cheese on sandwiches way too often. Gotta make sacrifices from time to time!

b) For salads, stick to veggies, chicken, eggs, or other protein sources, anddressing on the side.

Eyeball the protein portion in the salad which usually comes out to 1-2 palm sizes (about 20-40 grams of protein, or 200-300 calories at most taking into account oils used during prep or fattier cuts of meat)

Don't get breaded chicken or other breaded products. It's extra crappy calories and it usually has trans-fat (the worst kind).

Never, NEVER have them put a dressing on for you, or you can just about guarantee missing your calorie totals.

And do not pour the whole dressing cup over your salad

Get dressing on the side, dip your fork into the dressing cup, and then take some salad onto the fork.

You'll get the same amount of taste, but your salad won't be doused in dressing and you won't be eating 600 calories of sauce.

Follow the plans above, and fat loss will be a cinch. Eat right when you can and cook batch meals as much as possible, and if all else fail, eat from one of the semi-healthy options above.
