Skinny bitches.

Larders

So, I have friends (I know - big shock right?!) who are EXCEPTIONALLY thin. Like, seriously thin. 'Skinny bitch' thin. I have been observing for the longest time their eating habits and have been trying to figure out what their secret is to staying thin. Besides starving themselves to death (ha!) they eat at a snails pace. In fact the snail will walk/crawl/hop or do whatever it is that it does from Cape Town to Nigeria and they will still be eating. So, eating exTREMELy slowly is they key Larders.

Update on the holidayness in the Mother City. Yesterday, we went to the V & A Waterfront and ate at Primi Piatti. I think I am over the Primi vibe. Their service is bad (both EL and CT), their food is okay and I can get better cocktails elsewhere.

We then proceeded to go to Camps Bay. I have never seen so many people in my life and all of them were half naked. Suddenly I felt thinner than Zoe Saldana. We ended up at Sea Point and we watched the most beautiful sunset I had ever experienced in my life. People that know me know that I love the beach and love sunsets. And so when these powers combine, I am CAPTAIN PLANET... Sorry, got side tracked. When I saw the sun set over the horizon of the vastness of the sea, I was moved to a new level of corniness.

Then, it was time for Cubar. Very nice vibe. Just a thing of beauty. After that we went to Long Street. Flipping pumping!!! I have never been a big clubber but I enjoy going to a good club to dance once in a while but we didn't find what we were looking for. But we landed up at a pub called Dubliners with live music. I was in my element. Came home and we were in bed by 12.45.

Today, I was up at 5.30(wtf?!!!) to walk with my friend. We apparently walked 12kms!! TWELVE!!! Good grief!!!

I am afraid of what will happen when I go back to the gym. How much I will have gained. Eek!!

Here are some pics over the last 2 days.

8 kilometers...

Is how long I walked this morning. Shout out to MaryMary. We walked from Muizenberg to St James which is 8 kilometers in total. Apparently day after Christmas will be 10ks. Fuuuuuudgenson!!!! I'm eating like a mofo so I need to exercise like mo-mofo.

Went to Mzoli's yesterday. Mzoli's is a popular braai hangout in Cape Town. Its situated in the heart of the third largest township in South Africa. Having said that, your expectation would be that it would be shoddy place to hang out. On the contrary, dear dorothy, Mzoli's is a popular tourist destination. There were people from Italy, Spain, France, America amongst others. It was such a fun yet humbling experience. I love my country and when I see such, it makes me love it more and in the same breath become more resentful towards the assholes who are in political positions and are abusing the positions.

Today is Christmas eve and I am trying so hard to not burst into tears. I miss my mother even though Christmas would end up with her starting a fight after a few drinks. I still miss having a mother. Everything happens for a reason.

2013 will be a year of hustling and Big blessings. I decree that and receive it.

Happy Christmas all. May you be blessed.

Updateration...

Larders

Cape Town is beautiful. The water today was crystal clear. I absolutely love holidaying here. The people though here are full of fecal matter! I love taking landscape pics more than people. Possibly because I suck at taking pictures. Taking ugly pics of beautiful people can make one's life a little acca-awkward.

Here are some pics. I only walked once this week in the morning but I have been travelling the malls like a mofo.

Have an AWESOME summer

I 'heart' the heat!!

Much love

Pat on the back and punch in the neck.

Apparently I need to go on holiday more often for me to blog. Ha!

Hope everyone is good.

Short entry today but I felt the need to check in, to chat about what's been happening in my life food wise.

So, I have eliminated cheese from my diet. I don't even have a craving for it. And I am infamously known for my love of cheese. I have pretty much eliminated bread from my diet. Especially when I'm at home. My sugar intake has decreased dramatically. I have probably 2 teaspoons (one for coffee, the other in my oats) a day. I will soon eliminate sugar from coffee. I don't know if I will eliminate from porridge. I don't like the taste of honey, don't like raisins and I don't like banana so much that I want it in my food everyday. If I have too much banana the consistency makes me want to present all the food I had eaten to the world all mashed up with some bile in the mix (appetizing I know). My water intake is really good. I need to take it up to 3 litres a day though. I drink more green tea more often.

Things that need to be done to ensure rapid weightloss (not too rapid because then I will not be able to maintain it). I need to consume less portions, make better choices when I go out to restaurants, eliminate hot chips, walk a lot more and consume more vegetables. I need to also be selfish with my time and the gym.

Lastly, there aren't many blogs in South Africa related to weightloss. In fact, there isn't a big community at all in SA that supports each other to lose weight. To be part of a community you have to pay (e.g. weighless, weight watchers, etc). The average South African cannot afford the extra expense in their salary of joining a weightloss group, paying personal trainers, buying specific groceries, etc. I am passionate about holistic health i.e. body, mind and spirit.
So, I need to make a move toward getting SA supporters to relate more. This means ..... I may have to either go back to facebook. I deleted my account yonks ago and don't really wanna go back but social media is very influential. Ugh.

Till tomorrow (or later or even sooner or whatever. I'm so unpredictable, I don't even know what I'm going to do in the next hour, oh hell even 15 minutes from now)

Much love

Alive...

Larders

I'm alive and in Cape Town!!!!! I need help with not gaining weight over the holiday season.

The only plan I have is to minimise portions, drink A TON of water and walk a lot.

Happy holidays!!

3 WEEKS!!!

Three weeks! THREE WEEKS OF EATING NONSENSE. I always do this. ALWAYS. Once I lose a little weight I start to sabotage myself. Week 1, I had a poor plan so I ate whatever. Week 2, I was moving and therefore no schedule so I ate whatever and didnt go to the gym. Week 3, I started my period and this is apparently an excuse for me to eat anything and everything that is in my way and I have only been to the gym once.

I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT TO STAY ALIVE. Why cant I seem to follow through with it. Granted, I dont eat chocolate like I used to or cheese as much as I used to. My portions still suck and my cravings for constantly salty stuff is getting ridiculous.

THIS. IS. BULL.

Is there anyone out there??????
