ASPIRED MORNING ROUTINE

Wake up at 5am. Every. Day. No exceptions. I will not sleep any longer on the weekends or during the holidays because this just makes it harder to wake up early again once work or school starts again. It's like giving yourself jetlag. I will not hit snooze. 5am, it is. I will be getting out of bed once I am awake. I'm using my sunlight alarm because humans are meant to rise during sunlight. I will place it somewhere far off the bed, so I will be forced to move out of bed to turn it off.

Drink a big glass of water. Good way to maintain a high enough water intake is to start drinking water right when you awake.

Make my bed. Keeps up the motivational and productive energy. It’s also a good way to make a room look tidier.

Five minutes of morning yoga. It has so many good benefits. It's a good way to start the day. Dimishes the feeling of being tired. If I stretch after waking up not only will I feel more awake it will remind me of my goal of being a productive person. Also I want to be more flexible and physically active.

Open all the windows. I tend to forget to let fresh air into my apartment, so I will incorporate this into my morning routine.

Put on my outfit. Which I picked the day before.

Use mouthwash, then brush my teeth properly and clean my tongue. I tend to use mouthwash after brushing my teeth when you should do it before. I guess I'll need to buy a better electrical toothbrush because my current one has a bad battery, but I will really need to charge my toothbrush and actually use the electrical function. (I will charge it right after making this post, I swear.) Plus I need to brush more properly. No more aggressively brushing your teeth in a hurry, or brushing for too long because you're zonking out.

Wash my hands, then wash my face with cold water. I will pay attention to wash my hands thoroughly and actually for the twenty to thirty seconds you are supposed to. No way I will be touching my face without washing my hands first. I don't want to risk acne.

Put on my skincare headband to move my hair out of my face, then follow up with my skincare routine. Cleanse face using a cleanser. Apply Vitamin C, then moisturizer and sunscreen.

Apply make up. Foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, brow liner, eyeshadow, mascara, fixing spray.

Do my hair. Open it up and brush it. That’s it because I’ll be braiding it at night.

Have breakfast. Important because I get so aggressive during the day without proper breakfast.

Pack lunch. Because I need lunch for such long school days.

Close windows. Or I’ll freeze when I get home.

Hruhgurhg diet composition talk

Been trying to sort out what meal structures work best for me lately. I realized I needed to eat more in the mornings because my energy gets so low it seriously affects my workplace performance, and am theorizing that, specifically, I’m probably not eating enough fat. 

Carbs like sugar can give me a bit of a short-term energy boost, but don’t help much with the dizziness, mood drops, weakness, etc. Complex carbs and proteins are recommended for longer-term satiety, but I don’t have any problem with the feeling of hunger, so that doesn’t really matter to me. Performance levels and physical effects do. Unsurprisingly, my body’s been craving various fat-rich foods like nuts and chocolate in the last few months of restriction. I’ve had higher energy and better moods on mornings that seem to have had higher fat intake, so I’m trying to see if that’s the key. 

Today I had about 7g of fat from scrambled tofu and olive oil spray on roasted veggies, and then another 13g or so later in dark chocolate. Energy and mood was much better than usual, but dizziness was still quite bad? I had a cup of miso soup and a shitload of salt on my veggies, so I can’t imagine it was lack of sodium, but I guess I could’ve been low on potassium, assuming it was electrolyte imbalance.

Obviously I’ll keep trying, but it’s so hard to convince myself to actually eat fat when I’ve done just fine without them for so long and they’re so... calorie-costly. 

I’ve literally never felt dumber than when I stood in front of the fridge this morning trying to figure out how to add fats into my breakfast in a way that seemed ‘worth’ it. A pat of butter isn’t worth it, doesn’t add enough flavor, way too dense. Maybe an extra long spray of olive oil for the cauliflower? Coconut yogurt? God it’s not worth eating the whole 150g container and I don’t want to have to save the rest. I guess tofu has some fat but also some protein... It’s not as calorie-dense as it could be...

Ended up getting 2/3 of my fat from unplanned dark chocolate in the back room at work anyway. I was like “Fuck it. I don’t know the exact calorie count for this”, and lowballed the ounces with the full understanding that it was more than I should be allowing for breakfast, but that I would never eat that much fat otherwise. Lmao. Thank god I’m weak, I guess, because it seemed to be worth it. Energy and mood improvements could have been the sugar, but sugar hasn’t raised my energy and mood as high as they were this morning in a while. 

I’m trying to do my best to keep track of everything. Mood, energy level, dizziness, physical fatigue, physical hunger, emotional hunger, hydration levels, sodium and potassium, macro ratios, meal times, meal sizes, meal composition, water retention, fiber intake, bowel movements, calories left for the day, obviously, weekly average, longer term weight loss and calorie intake patterns, physical activity, heart rate, body temperature, whatever. 

There’s still so much shit I’m STILL missing. I barely track micronutrients (my calcium and vitamin c is pretty fuckin good though), magnesium who?, I don’t even know what my protein intake looks like because I just don’t care right now. 

One scoop of ice cream at a time, though. Keep on chugging.

My Personal Tips

Eat breakfast!! You don’t have to eat any other meals if you don’t want to, just know that breakfast is so so important!! It doesn’t even have to be a lot. I eat a small apple on my way to school every morning and it keeps me satisfied for most the day.

Drink a heck ton a water!! Obvi but ya know, just gotta say it.

Gum/mints are a freaking life saver at school! Whenever I feel soooo hungry or my stomach starts rumbling, I’ll start chewing some minty gum and it stops. Literally the best.

If you have braces then shove some wax on them, like you’re not just gonna try and eat something when you have wax all over your teeth so it’s a great way to stop yourself from eating.

Following the one above, if you have a retainer then wear that sucker like there’s no tomorrow! I haven’t seen any posts about retainers on any ED blog, but I can tell you they help so much since you can’t eat when it’s in. I try to wear mine as much as possible just to have an excuse not to eat.

Take vitamins!!!!!! This one is probably one of the major things to do besides drink water!! I currently take vitamin D, C, B12, and this weird women’s multi vitamin thing. I don’t think I should be taking so many, but it hasn’t hurt me yet so hey! But really, if you had to do any of these, try the B12 and C since they both help with your energy, metabolism, and keeping healthy!

Always allow a day where you eat more than your normal intake, it’ll help boost your metabolism in the long run.

Pick up a time consuming hobby! Drawing, writing, and reading are some really good ones since they can take up so much time. My personal favorite though.... my job. Not only does it keep me on my feet, it also makes feel like utter crap when I get home so I just end up falling asleep and not eating. I swear I haven’t even been working that long yet it’s already started dropping my weight more than I thought. So yeah. If you can get a job and don’t have one then go ahead and start applying. It’ll help, I promise!

Set a specific time for when you eat! My personal one is from 6-7AM and then 4-6PM. Probably sounds like a mess, and it is, but it works... well when I stick to it that is. Whoops!

Don’t overdo it. Know your limits. Don’t try to fast for three days when you’ve just started starving. Just don’t. Also don’t over exert yourself when exercising. Like YEAH FEEL THAT BURN MAN! But don’t exercise until you pass out, it’ll only cause more problems

Keep clothes that are too small somewhere you can see, kinda like a constant reminder that you really want to lose the weight! I have a weird mannequin thing in my room and I keep this really pretty dress that’s a small on it and it keeps me motivated!

Try not to go into the kitchen as much as possible. I know you’ll have to at some point, but just try to avoid it. Going into the kitchen usually brings me back to the reality where I need food and my stomach just goes nuts. Hence why I hole myself up in my room and consider myself a hermit.

Don’t go out to eat! Well I mean you can if you REALLY want to or if it’s like a super healthy place, but like, where? Try to stay at home and eat there. You’ll actually know everything that’s going into your stomach.

If you don’t want to exercise then don’t. It’s not a requirement when you’re trying to lose weight like this, it’ll help sure, but it’s not a necessity.

Yeah. Don’t fast for more than 2-3 days. Just. Don’t. It might seem like a good idea, but it’ll only hurt in the long run and I notice that when I get done with a fast that I just want to binge on everything I see. The longer you go without food then the more likely to binge you’ll be.

When I hang out with friends, I usually make that my day where I eat more than I usually do since it’ll keep them oblivious to my actions. Not that big of a tip, but I think it helps keep things calmer in my social life.

Now, I know if you’re living with your parents/grandparents then it’s kinda hard to ya know, starve. I got it easy though, my grandfather doesn’t care whatsoever and my grandmother is like ‘just don’t die before me’. It’s like really sad when you think about it, but it’s good for what I’m trying to do. Now, if you have more uptight parents I guess, then don’t fret. Try to find excuses for not eating like cramps or having too much work to do. But under any circumstances are you to purge. It’ll ruin your health even more and it just won’t help. Plus it’ll get them questioning why your teeth are becoming so messed up. So yeah don’t purge! Another good tip would be to exercise, like a normal person. Except don’t eat as much. 10/10 strategy.

Get your freakin sleep I swear. I’m definitely not good at getting enough sleep, but you should aim for 6-8 hours at least. It’ll help your metabolism and give you more energy. Plus the more you sleep the less time you’ll have to eat!

Average daily caloric consumption:  N/A

Total Workout Time This Week: N/A

Dietary guidelines:  No fast food, no straws, slower eating, no carbonated beverages, 1 food high in HDL/low in LDL, vitamin D/potassium liquid supplement (one drop per day), adjust calories based on time working out per week, 3 vegan meals per week

—————-

Diet

Took another break, though this time I find myself back here because I know I should lose weight for the next time I have to go in and see the doctor. I’ve been feeling a lot more confident in my skin recently, but there are probably halfway decent medical reasons for me to get down to at least 182 lbs. I think that’s pretty much what’s keeping me on the weight loss trajectory at this point.

I haven’t been watching my diet especially closely, though I’ve been eating the normal kinds of stuff I had been when I’ve been watching my weight during the week, and I think that’s helping a lot. I’m trying to stick with healthier options and keeping things in moderation, but it has been difficult. I think counting calories helped me choose better options and moderate what I was eating. 

The HARDEST part of my dietary guidelines for me to follow has definitely been not drinking carbonated beverages. I think I’m going to have to wean myself off of so much of the Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Cokes I’ve been drinking.  I’ve been starting to drink more than one per day which is definitely not great. They’re just so tasty, and I can’t handle the sugar in a lot of regular pops anymore.

Speaking of sugar, I’ll probably be keeping an eye on my sugar intake this week, as I’ve been having some vaginal yeast-y type issues and don’t really want to treat it with monistat unless i absolutely have to (it’s not that serious yet either, though).

Exercise/Workout

I have definitely not been working out like I should. I want so badly to go back to a fitness class or gym and get into that routine again. I’m considering switching my gym closer to work since the c*vid rates are lower and just working out there (I’m waiting until there’s less than 500 new cases/day before I do that though).

I did about 14 minutes of working out yesterday and my body is in sooooo much pain. I’m so ache-y. I’m also pretty exhausted; I’m not sure what’s up with that. I’m probably going to try and take a nap in a little while if I’m not feeling much better.

Last Thoughts

I have a renewed urge to work out and try and eat right, at least until I get down to the weight that I need to be at. I’m not feeling as motivated to get down to 145 lbs anymore; I’m not sure why, I guess I’m just feeling better about my body these days. At this point, it’s purely for medical purposes and just trying to live a healthy life (I just feel better when I’m exercising and eating a healthy diet, anyway).

[lucylearns]

Has it already been another week? Two weeks down; 11 to go! I’m over 15% of the way there! Cue excitement for Mexico!

Let’s start out this weekly review post by doing going day-to-day on the rewards I earned.

Day 8: Three small rewards; one medium.

Smashbox PhotoFinish Primer, FP. Not a bad primer, but it’s one I’ve used before, which means I’m kinda meh about writing a formal review.

Almay Liquid Lip Balm in 400 Lilac Love. Top swatch. I’m excited for this as it really does feel more smoothing rather than a sticky gloopy gloss.

TWP Ahh-vocado! Sample Vial. One word currently: YES. Review to come soon (hopefully, if I can ever get my stuff together and stop re-applying it every hour just because I love the smell).

Julep Lip Gloss

Day 9: Three small and one large reward

This day was the first day I got “nothing” as a reward for doing a behavior (5/5 goals achieved, but note only 4 rewards). I felt a little irritated, despite knowing it was a possibility. That said, I also knew I could get a reward the next time, so I didn’t feel unmotivated, which is the point of the system. Anyway, this day, I got:

Missha All Around Safe Waterproof Sun Milk. I used this on Saturday, and I think I like it but I’m not sure. It was very thin and easily rubbed into my skin. I will most likely not do a full review, but it is added to my list of potential sunscreens to repurchase.

Etude House Double Lasting Foundation Foils in Fair, Vanilla, and Ivory. I received a couple packets last week in a few other shades, and I believe I have one packet left to “complete” the collection. Once it’s complete, I’ll do swatches and a wear test on a color, if one is close enough to my skin tone.

Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Brightening Oil. I’ll be honest; I’m scared to use this. It’s in my queue, though.

Anskin Cool-Ice Modeling Mask. This was my “large” reward, and I’m very excited. I haven’t used it yet because I told a friend that once I earned it, I would wait to use it until we could try it together! I still haven’t told her 😛

Day 10: One small reward.

This day was a particularly hard day, in which I had a rough day while Boyfriend was at work, didn’t go to the gym due to a miscommunication, and then proceeded to eat too much because we ordered in dinner and I didn’t even bother attempting to estimate what I ate.

That said, I did drink enough water, and I earned Revlon’s Lipstick in 660 Berry Haute, which is a definite berry shade on me and one I am excited to review. My HG lipstick is this formula (Mauvy Night), just as an FYI. I’m biased.

Day 11: One small, one medium, and one large reward (+ one “nothing”).

After Day 10, Day 11 felt much better. It started off with going to the gym, and even though it involved too much ice cream and eating out with my parents, I felt much happier and did manage to talk myself into tracking what I ate, even though I felt ashamed to admit just how much ice cream I consumed… I still did 4/5 behaviors and earned 3 rewards for it!

CoverGirl Katy Kat Matte Lipstick in Kitty Purry. This is the top swatch, and it… well, it looks an awful lot like Delicious, a color I got last week. Still excited though! I picked this color out very thoughtfully.

Too Cool for School Dinoplatz Lip Balm in #1 Spilled Wine. This is the second swatch. It’s a grape-jelly smelling gel-like lip balm that is tinted to look like a dark red wine (“spilled wine”) but provides a lovely slight berry stain. I have two more colors waiting to be earned, and once I do, there will definitely be full reviews.

Etude House Play Color Eyes in Juice Bar. After being disappointed with the Blend quad, I was a little nervous about this. So far, it has swatched nicely, but it is quite warm with quite a bit of oranges! I’m interested in seeing how these work on my eyes.

Day 12: One small, one medium, and one large reward

1/2 Medium Reward for my small reward- I realized I have a lot of medium products compared to the most likely scenario, and I can’t seem to find much more small rewards to reach that most likely scenario. So I added a bunch of these!

CoverGirl TruNaked Roses Palette. Swatches off to the side. I have done a look with this already, and I find that it works really well with my eyes.

Blinc Electric Eyes Palette. This is the one I got from my Boxycharm this week, so I’m really excited to get this so soon! It swatched beautifully (not shown).

Day 13: Three small rewards and one medium.

1/2 Medium Reward- another one!! This is the second “1/2 medium” I’ve gotten this week, but I waited until the end of the week to “cash” these in.

CoverGirl InstantCheekBones in 230 Refined Rose. Swatches are there on the bottom right. I’ve been wanting to try these trios because I’m curious about their formula (compared to the other Cheekers). Hopefully will be reviewing!

The Organic Pharmacy Lip + Eye Cream. This is a deluxe sample tube, and I’m not sure if I want to open it yet. I’m currently working on a 5ml tube of eye cream, and it’s taking forever to pan.

Dinoplatz Lip Balm in #5 Pinky Pie. What’s the probability that I’d get two of these this week?! (Answer: about 0.2% chance). However, I’m pretty excited. I used this on Tuesday throughout work, and it’s a beautiful light tint on my lips! You can see the slight tint on that top right swatch. I can’t wait to do a full-on review of these lip balms!

Day 14: Three small rewards (+ one “nothing”).

(2) 1/2 Medium Rewards- which means another full medium prize to pick!

Twisted Wonderland Perfumery “Stay Puft.” This is a very marshmallowy scent- so sweet! Can’t wait to do a review!

My Additional Rewards:

TonyMoly Pikachu Mini Cover Cushion. It’s a pikachu-themed cushion foundation! I have opened it up and (shockingly), it might be too light for me right now.

Too Cool for School Egg Mousse Pack. This stuff claims to make “rough, dull skin smooth and radiant in 5 minutes.” I don’t know why I haven’t tried this yet, but it’s probably due to the overwhelming about of open deluxe sample face masks I have…

Weekly Thoughts and Recap

This week I lost another couple pounds, so I’m down just over five. I don’t like getting too specific into the numbers, but at the beginning as I’m still planning my food intake and exercise, I do feel the need to hone in fast-enough-but-not-too-fast, you know? I think about 2/week is a good pace.

This week I had two days in which I did not meet my energy balance awareness goals- Friday and Saturday. On Friday, Boyfriend and I miscommunicated about the gym and we ended up not going and instead ordering food (he wasn’t going to eat a real dinner… sorry, honey, but diet orange soda has no nutrients). I couldn’t even guess at what was in my dinner nutrition-wise, so I didn’t. On Saturday, my parents were in town and we went out to eat. I did guess at that one, but I ended up splitting a giant thing of ice cream with my sister, parents, and Boyfriend because I’d rather have memories and fun with people I love than lose an extra half a pound, tbh.

In terms of how I think the program is going: this was the first week in which I had the possibility of getting no reward for doing a behavior. I did notice feeling disappointment the three times that happened, but that isn’t what kept me away from my goals. I’ve noticed that my anxiety is one thing that keeps me from the gym. I don’t know how to adjust rewards to deal with this; I just need to work through some of that anxiety. I know that even if I were to insta-give myself a large reward (even the large ones I’m very excited for), I would probably still not go to the gym when my issue is anxiety, and I still wouldn’t be more energy-minded if Boyfriend’s health/happiness was on the line or if I hadn’t seen my family in several weeks and we were going out to eat. I am 100% okay with this, as I still want to live my life. The main point of this behavior mod is to be mindful of energy and choose non-food coping skills when my emotions are unbalanced.

Next week, there will be a higher chance of getting a “nothing” reward, and I’m a little scared honestly that my motivation will start to fail. I have four more work days (Sat, Sun, Mon, and then Wednesday), and I’m nervous that with the group of kids we have currently, I’ll be coming home so drained that without massive rewards, I’ll just ruin my goals ): I’m going to try positive talk though so counteract this.

Health + Fitness // Behavior Mod: Week 2 Has it already been another week? Two weeks down; 11 to go! I'm over 15% of the way there!
