The Health Nut Update

How is everyone today? I'm good... I think... although my mood is so susceptible to change these days, I really haven't a clue anymore. It's boiling hot again and I need to get out of the house to enjoy it!

Anyway I thought I'd do a little picture post on some of the foods I've been eating.

Yesterday we went to a Japanese restaurant in central for early dinner. I had a raw pressed apple and carrot juice (sooo yummy), sweet tofu skin and spring onion rolls which were basically vegetarian duck rolls, and Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and sesame seeds. I don’t really know how many calories were in that meal I’d estimate it to be around 600 at best. It was all vegetable based:


And yes those are my arms...

We went to Costa afterwards and I had a soy vanilla latte (hallelujah):


This was a green smoothie I made with banana, spinach, cucumber, strawberry juice and pumpkin seeds


Which was delicious and so healthy it made me want to cry.

And finally a high-protein breakfast this morning - Total 0% Greek yogurt, natural granola, goji berries, pumpkin seeds, a tbsp of Whole Earth peanut butter, and agave nectar. Eventually I want to cut out dairy altogether but for now I don't think it'll do me much damage:


And obviously I am still 142 lbs this morning which is the position I was in pre-Amsterdam: maintaining, but not entirely unhappy about it. To be honest I'm rather I was maintaining here, on about 1500 calories per day (and all meaningful calories at that), than at 144+ and still trying to diet.

It struck me this morning, when I was sitting on the green next to our house in a tie-dye t-shirt and a menthol cigarette in my hand, that my birthday is in 10 days. Eek. I have no idea what I want, or what I want to do celebration-wise. I actually hate my birthday and deem it less important than all other days of the year; but everyone is nagging me about what they should get me so I guess I have to think up some things. Which sucks because all I really want is a peaceful life and a non-stressful social group and less drama and maybe some more almond milk because I am freaking in love with that stuff.

Raina passed her driving test so we may go out to celebrate tonight. I have no idea where but I assume we'll all be bundled off to some over-priced snazzy central London bar because that's the kind of place she lives. For those of you who don't know, Raina was one of Bash's best friends, so for the most part we just bond over our mourning for Bash and reminisce over old times. Raina also might become my replacement new rich best friend. Because everyone needs one of those, right? She's also totally gorgeous which raises my game a little. Whoop!

I'm going running this afternoon with my sister, too, because it's such a nice day. Nice to have some bonding time with her.

Oh and Ginger wants to cart me off to go clubbing with his famous comedienne friend at the end of the week. Which sounds rad. But I need to do something about my clothes and my figure before then. Would love to be in the 130s by Friday. Who knows, maybe it will happen.

Lots of love to you all (all 77 of you! Gosh!) <3

  1. The food looks lovely - especially the smoothy :) and I eat a similar breakfast when we have Greek yogurt in (total 0% is the best!!) and your arms are skinny - jealous!
    I'm sure you'll think of something to do for your birthday and I hope you have a great day!
    Glad the weather is great and have fun running - I'm sure you can be in the 130s by Friday :)

  2. I hate my birthday, too. And getting presents on Christmas and stuff. I've actually started asking people to give the money they would use to buy things for me to charity instead, because that makes me feel 100x better about it. Very few do it, but it's still a nice little gesture.

    Loving these pictures. It all looks delicious! :)

    Hugs and kisses,
    <3.
