epic fail day

NEVER.EVER.AGAIN

isOMG, today was possibly the worst day of pigging out ever!. I ate chips, chocolate chips, and chocolate cream pie in Toronto today. UGHH. Since I usually eat healthy and exercise and all that, eating all this shit made me feel like SHITT!!
I came home with a stomach, wasn't horribly bad because I had to recover. So the FIRST thing I did when I got home was change. Then I ate a piece of whole grain flax bread and 1 tbsp natural peanut butter (the fibre and protein I didn't get enough of the whole day in toronto).

Then I worked out.
AND HOLY CRAP, IT FELT SOO AWESOME. No lie. For people who don't get working out, well I dont' get you! >.> I love the feeling of working out. After my workout and some what of 'real food', my stomach ache dissapeared. Just like that. BAM.

Then I ate more 'real food'. Whole wheat tortilla wrapped with yesterday's leftovers, lemon chicken with articokes. LOVED IT. <3! Finally eating more starch foods again, I was almost starch free cept b/b/a (breakfast/before and after work out) I finally feel free to eat starchy foods now! Cause I'm working my ass off like shit everyday, which includes just working everyday when I'm not working, then working everyday when I'm not working out. LOL

I enjoyed today. I failed miserably at a chocolate cream pie recipe. Not my fault for never working with a double boiler >.> But now I've learned my lesson. Never make pie with a double boiler and hopefully never use it again unless for healthy reason or as a request (and I better like the person who request a damn lot) or unless I get paided LOL. which prob won't happen. As long as I don't go broke baking, I'm fine :)

Currentely reading a book about food and being fat and stuff like that, I'll write a review if I feel like it. And I have 4 more books that I'm going to read ASAP...that's about food and cooking and stuff related to food :)

Tah-tah for now!

Let's go shopping! ...for food :)

Today must've been the few times I had a hard time choosing what to wear. First, I tried on this:

but then... I didn't really like the design of my leggings which you can't see above.


SO THEN.. I tried on this:

But didn't wear it cause it felt weird. But I like the design


BUT WTF? All this to go grocery shopping. So I just wore jeans and a pink shirt. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT I WORE! LETS GET TO THE IMPORTANT THINGS, FOOD!



From left to right in whatever order: Basil leaves, lower sodium chicken broth, strawberry jam, Kashi GoLean Crunch, brown rice, whole wheat spagetti, whole wheat tortillas, 2 cans of quartered articoke hearts, natural peanut butter, 2 lemons, whole grain flaxseed bread, 2 onions, and bread flour, which was my moms.
I love what I bought today :) First thing I did when I got home was make a peanut butter strawberry jam sandwich. Then I ate Kashi GOLean cereal with....
SOY MILK!!

BAM.
It actually tasted REALLY good. Cause the soy milk was unsweetened, and the cereal has 13grams of sugar - which is a little much for a 'healthy' cereal, but at least the sugar made the soy milk taste good :)
I made 'Lemon Chicken with Articoke Hearts' with the fresh basil I bought. Mmm.. fresh basil smells SOOO good with the lemons.


...oh look! My hair's growing :)


:) :)

Kero One new MV!

The first time I heard him, I LOVED HIM. He was featured in Epik High's Map The Soul English version and was with them on their America tour. "He's a SF rap artist, producer, DJ and label owner who even handles his own graphic/web design work and promotion". Now that's epik.



This is absolutely my fav song from 'Early Believers' album. MV's pretty good for something he made himself.

RABBIT? WHAT.

LOL. So during supper, I was eating some sort of white meat. It tasted like chicken, but then, probably lots of meats I haven't tasted before tastes like chicken - cause you know, everything tastes like chicken XD. Butbut, the skin of the 'chicken' was yellow. Normally its brown when baked or roasted or whatever they do in chinese supermarkets.
So then..
me: dad, what type of meat is it?
dad: rabbit, i think
me: *O_____________O* ....... really? it tastes like chicken to me
dad: oh, then i'm not sure
me: ._.
*mom comes downstairs*
me: mom, is this rabbit meat?
mom: pft no its chicken
me: oh..ok. good >(

thank god i didn't eat rabbit lol

stupid stupid

I had work today ):
Shift started at 9am.
I forgot - I thought it was 8am.
When I arrived, I finally saw that it was 9am.
I then went out and sat in a park.
And magically, I came back to work at 8:54am
BAM.
Magic I tell you.

FOOD!

BROWN RICE WITH CAULIFLOWER!



YEAH, THATS WUT IM TALKING ABOUT

White Rice vs. Brown Rice.

I, personally, am not a fan of white rice, anymore.

Not only is brown rice better for you, but also better for the environment.
Let compare some of the basic nutrition.

~1 cup brown rice, medium grain, cooked, has:
218 calories
0.5 sat fat
0.6 poly fat
0.6 mono fat
45.8g carbs
3.5g fibre
4.5 protein

now compare that to
~1 cup white rice, medium grain, cooked:
242 calories
0.1 sat fat, poly fat, mono fat each
53.2g carbs
0.6g fibre
4.4g protein

These are only the most basic nutrition, but as you can already see that brown rice already has its benefits. Less carbs, more good fats, and more fibre. The difference between brown rice and white rice is almost like the difference between wheat flour and white flour.
Nutrition wise, white rice has a lot less Vitamin E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folacin, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, and lots more nutrients.
White rice is bascially processed brown rice. The husk of the brown rice is removed and then smoothed out with paraffin and polished with glucose. This process removes lots of nutrients, which are then are added back in. These enriched nutrients are chemically added in = nutrients aren't in natural state. It's much healthier to consume products that has its natural nutrients intact. "Refined grains have been linked to weight gain and insulin resistance. Whole grains, like brown rice are linked to weight loss and fight against insulin resistance."

The more process the food goes through, the more energy is required. Then there's the fact that synthetic nutrients are added in - which are produced in other factories. All that trouble just for white rice.
I realize that white rice is more commonly eaten, and that people have a hard time switching to brown rice, especially if that person has been eating white rice everyday for 30 years or something. But it's never too late to change. Start mixing the brown rice with your daily white rice, or use sauces to mask the flavour of the brown rice. I'm sure once you get used to the flavour of brown rice, you'll actually like it.
It's almost like wheat bread compared to white bread. I used to love white bread, but once I started eating wheat bread more often, I started loving the flavour of wheat bread a lot more, and now I hardly eat white bread at home.


But know this, people don't realize that little changes in diet eventually adds up to a big change. Drink less soda. Eat more veggies. Add more protein. Eat whole grains. Drink alcohol less. Smoke less. Eat out less. Eat breakfast. etc, etc.
But what people also don't realize is that lots don't change until they hit rock bottom, but by then, it's already too late. Heart attacks, artiery clogs, diabetes, cancer, etc.

Adding brown rice into your diet could be a big change if it's a long-term lifestyle change :)

work sucks

Man work is tiring. TIRING.
But but. It was really funny near the end of my shift, when a police guy ordered from the drive thru. I remember him saying something that I didn't exactly understand, so I said "what is that?". And my manager's like "he said shake well". then I'm like "ohh... .__." Then I saw the police guy, and I'm just like o____O. Of course I didn't know he was a police guy until I gave him his order. But he's like, "did you shake well? :)" And I'm like 'yeah.'

LOL then my manager, erica and I start laughing hahah.

i fail.
