Denmark Diet | Day 9

so, i'm back. my too-short spring break ended. and yeah, i was lazy to blog.
but i started the diet again, and i'm already on day 9. except this time, i'm exercising regularly and...uh i cheated on the 7th day. it was my friend's birthday party and we were eating korean bbq.... -_-

so far i lost... not that much weight. probably because i cheated and i'm not as strict with the stuff i'm eating as i was the first time. or maybe it's because this is my second time doing it. regardless. i'm hungry right now. and i haven't done number 2. sigh....

it's week 2 of school and i'm already falling behind. i have horrible studying habits. but i'm determined to make it right, starting today. ho ho ho.

other than that. i've basically cut out dramas/variety shows/music shows out of my life. my dad hates them and i guess they do distract me..... i can't even manage without them -_- (to clarify: i'm not giving up or quitting korean entertainment.........just that right now, i'm trying to avoid them, plus i'm not allowed to watch them -_-).

but '49 days' seems really good. i really want to get on that............ and 'midus' and bunch of other variety shows........

good stuff that happened recently: i lost weight
bad stuff that happened recently: KMF list sucks.

No INFINITE. The End. ;-;

i always LOL at the foot that flings in the air.

fuckyeahhoya. like a boss.

question: does anyone know anything about oversleeping? can it be a disorder? because i sleep regularly (5-7hrs), but i do these micro naps during lectures -__-;; and i don't even realize i'm doing them. arg. how can i stop this from happening? i drink coffee too... and i don't overeat...especially recently.

Denmark Diet | End

sorry to disappoint anyone, but i had to stop my diet yesterday. why? because i'm going to be pulling all-nighters for the next few days...and i don't think i'll have the strength to function if i stick with the diet (let alone the extra time it takes to shop & prepare).

but. i really liked my progress and i'm going to continue once spring break starts. then i can actually exercise while dieting. my winter quarter isn't going as smoothly as i promised to myself last quarter, but can't do anything about it now. if you can't avoid it, enjoy it. let's all pray for the better in the future.

other than that, i'm going to take a 5-hour energy drink for the first time tonight. but i'm a bit worried because i'm used to drinking a lot of caffeine...what if it doesn't work ;A;

for those who tried it, how was the drink's effect on you? is there really no crash?

one last thing. i'm contemplating...but i'll most likely stop blogging and start everything on tumblr. why? because it's going to become the new facebook and twitter, probably by next year. i think twitter first, then tumblr. 

until friday then. shalom.

edit (4/4): this stuff doesn't do jack.

Denmark Diet | Day 5

unicorn asked:

"Omg I would love to try a diet like this but my sister hates the smell of boiled egg and my father wouldn't be happy with me going on an actual diet. Could you recommend anything to do with food, I think I already have excersise down I lost half a stone ~"

first, thank you for commenting :) it's awesome that you have exercising down (unlike me ;A;). but i don't really know how i can answer this question because i haven't tried that many diets either.
normally, i like to go on korean websites for different types of diets because i'm (obviously) korean and the types of food i eat are...indeed korean. i found information about the Denmark Diet in this korean website called m2slim (and it can be translated through google here). they talk about apple diet, kimchi diet, banana diet, milk diet, seaweed diet, sweet potato diet, water diet, brown rice diet, watermelon diet, tofu diet, atkins diet...etc. personally, i think in the future, i would try the apple diet and the tofu diet. the brown rice diet should totally be long-term for all asians...
anyways. hopefully that was helpful. if you have any more questions feel free to ask me. i know the translations suck, so i'll be happy to translate them for anyone who wants them :D just ask me~
-

so i had fruit (other than grapefruit) for the first time in a while, and omfg it was so freaking sweet. and i mean this both in a good way and a bad way. at first i was super excited because it tasted heavenly (i had an apple & a banana) but after a while, it was too sweet it made my mouth feel heavy.

but again, another successful day... today it was especially hard because it was saturday, which means internship training day. meaning, 4 hours of sitting and listening to guest speakers. meaning, having breaks before and after the speakers. meaning rest breaks. meaning food. meaning crackers, muffins, juice, chocolate, nachos, salsa. faaaaak ;A;

nonetheless, it wasn't that bad.....................but. i can't believe i only completed day 5. it feels so much longer...

some things i'm noticing. i don't know if it was my bad eating habits prior to starting the diet, but i feel lighter and more awake. i used to think that i had a sleeping disorder (over sleepiness) but now i'm thinking that was all due to my horrible eating habits. i stepped on the scale last night, and i was 1kg (or 2lbs) lower. but that's hardly anything, and it doesn't really say much.

Denmark Diet | Day 4

i think it's about this time in your diet that you get tempted to eat the foods you've been avoiding.

a close unnie of mine gave me bag of chip ahoy cookies and naked juice for just being the great unnie she is...except ugh obviously i can't eat because i am on this diet. not only that, but the bananas on the table looked so good and my sister made chicken ravioli for dinner ;A; but. i stuck through and didn't give up... it's 11:57pm right now, and my stomach is growling /whines.

tomorrow is going to be a busy day (or today now - 12:22am)...

Denmark Diet | Day 3

just updating.

finished eating lunch and followed the meal plan. i haven't cheated, though i did get tempted... a word of advice, stay away from the refrigerator... or just the kitchen in general.

i know i said i was going to exercise today but i actually have a lot of assignments to finish... actually, i went to the gym and found out i forgot my shoes T_T

nothing else much...though i haven't done number 2 in the bathroom for some time /leaves and comes back/ lulz.

so i just recently watched mblaq's 'cry' mv and i love it. the two clips are my favorite parts in the mv. i love the choreography and thunder's face...so heartbreaking. never cry thunder.
 

Denmark Diet | Day 2

so i want to keep this short.

my first day was successful~! yay.
i thought it was pretty good, i was actually full (except at dinner i felt...like i was missing something)? i didn't exercise though, because i was busy with school. but i know i'm going to start on thursday.

right now, i just had lunch: 2 hard-boiled eggs, toast, grapefruit and coffee. i don't know about anyone else that tried this diet, but the grapefruit really makes you filled...

couple things i forgot to mention in the previous post was that:
1. you cannot eat or drink anything else that is not listed on the meal plan, except water (and that includes gum!)
2. as for the salad, you can have a variety of vegetables (carrots, spring mix, spinach...etc), but just make sure it's only vegetable when it says 'vegetable salad'. in just 'salad', you can include tomatoes.
3. if you are get hungry between meals, you can have another black coffee. one thing to keep in mind is that your coffee shouldn't be so strong. keep it light, almost like tea. 

i haven't started measuring myself yet...i'll probably do so after friday or something.
also, my friend judith decided to go on this diet with me~ it's good to have a buddy to keep you motivated as well~ good luck everyone.
