Chippies, ketchup, and The Ghost in our Machines. It's time to learn about the shit that goes on that I can't see.

15 delget noor dates (pitted and soaked) 2 ripe bananas 1/2 avocado 1 tbsp cocoa powder. It taste sooooo good but it was so heavy bc of the avocado. I think if I ever make this again, I'll probably use 1/4th an avocado.

CALLING ALL FRUITBATS: I need advice!

I haven't been exercising as much because it's exam season. I've noticed that my caloric intake has gone down from needing 3000 cals just to stay satisfied, down to 2000 cals. I'm not sure if I should push myself to eat more until the 2500 calorie minimum for rawtil4. Initially, when I started rawtil4, I came from the starch solution diet. I was accustomed to practicing "intuitive eating". When i came onto rawtil4, I never imagined that I "intuitively" would need 3000 calories a day. Now I'm not sure whether or not to force myself to eat at least until the 2500 calorie minimum or not. I know that many people have resulted in gaining weight from Raw Till 4 from force feeding themselves more than they need to. On the other hand, I also don't want to fall off the vegan bandwagon - it's too easy to do that when living with non-vegan family members. Does anyone have any ideas on what's the best solution?

According to my BMI, I am borderline obese. But according to my body fat percentage, I'm smack down on the average for women. My mother and I weigh the same amount but I'm a size 8 and she's a size 12. Don't put so much stress on what the scale says. It's not a true indicator of health. The number on the scale and bmi don't tell me how bootilicious I am or what a strong and powerful woman I am.

#ProjectOptimizeSexiness: Food and Exercise

You already saw my 1520 cal breakfast and lunch smoothie.I didn’t finish my entire breakfast smoothie in class so I had drank the rest as a post-workout snack. 

When I got home from school, I was very hungry so I took a bit of the macaroni (no cheese) my mom had made for my little sisters..... and then I took some more. It ended up being about a cup of macaroni and about half a table spoon of oil with a couple of mixed vegetables. approx: 300 cals. 

Later on, I made some potatoe, mushroom and zucchini dumplings with egg-free dumpling paper. approx 530 cals

That makes my total calorie intake at about 2350 cals. 

AS FOR EXERCISE,

I started with my usual upper body circuit, which is:  15 Arnold Shoulder Press (10 lbs) 15 Barbell Skull Crushers (20 lbs) 15 Bicep curls per arm (10 lbs) 15 Upright Barbell Row (20 lbs) 15 Kickback per side (10 lbs)  x4 with 30 s rest between circuits

Then I moved onto  10 close grip lateral pull-downs 10 wide-grip lateral pull-downs x4 with 30 s rest between circuits

After finishing upper body, I focused on my ab workout, which is:  2 sets of 25 cable crunches (96 lbs) 3 sets of 20 cable oblique twists per side (50 lbs) 3 sets of 25 plated sit ups (10 lbs)  2 sets of 50 russian twists (10 lbs)  2 sets of 20 leg raises

I always do my cardio last so I have enough energy to actually lift weight. I get a bit lazy with cardio to be honest so I did maybe 28 minutes of cycling on a stationary bike with level 7 resistance. It burned around 200+ calories.
