Journey to Skinny Day 62: Just A Few Updates | Injured My Knee


Day 62

Journal:

Hey guys! I know I have been hiatus for about 4-7 days with my journey to skinny. I just really needed to take a quick break because of my roller coaster weight fluctuations which I mentioned here: Weight Fluctuations.

So here are a few updates:

  • This weekend’s dance class was insane. We learned several new songs and finished the choreography to “Slow Dance” which was really cool! But unfortunately for me, Sunday’s dance class has left me injured on my right knee (where my old skateboarding injury was from back in 2007). It was because our instructor, Tiffany couldn’t make the 1pm Jazz so YuanYuan had to substitute. I was not used to her warmups so I was not prepped well for the dance. During YuanYuan’s class my knee started feeling weird. Then For Hip Hop, Tiffany arrived and we did some ghetto moves that made my right foot get stuck on the floor (my soles had extra grip for some reason) while I was supposed to twist it to one side. So my thigh twister to the right while my calves and foot remained in position, thus misaligning the joint on my knee. So it really hurt kike crazy. I still finished the dance class semi limping.
  • Injured knee means no working out for me this week. so that it can heal. That really sucks.
  • As per weight loss in concerned. I’m no longer going to base my progress via weighing scale. Because I am starting to build more muscle now due to dance and we all know that muscle weighs more than fat. I will buy those things that measures body fat percentage. Also I need to get myslf a more accurate measuring tape because for some reason here in China, the measuring tape says that I have an 18 waist line when I know in fact I’m around 29-30in around the waist.
  • Right this moment the scale reads 135.8 when just yesterday it was 133. 6 and then the other day it was at 138.0   so you can really see my weight loss fluctuation. I have been eating more salty food which increases the sodium in my body which retains water which gives  me insane water weight. Plus  I have been eating more protein and less carbs, but protein weighs heavier. so yeah. And I’m kinda constipated as well. So weighing myself right now is not going to do my sanity any good. :(

So I guess you can just cross your fingers and wish me luck that I get out of this fluctuation of weight sooner than later. or Later than never.

How about your guys? my reader has been quiet lately. Is there anything new?

Okay so I took these photos while at school today and yeah I was bored hahahah! I arrived waay too early. But back to the question. Do I look like I’m turning 23?

I know my face is not so fat but my arms and stomach are fat. I have a D cup sized bust and its not very comfortable nor is it very nice to look at because they are too damn big.
Oh and if you are wondering why my eyes are so huge. Its because of the Circle lenses I’m using. They are special contact lenses that make your eyes look cartoonish.

Anyway, I am sleepy. Here is your thinspo photos of the day:

Okay. So this just in. I feel really crappy right now. I ate a lot this weekend because I am apparently really sick and my body has been wanting a lot of food so i ate food so I can get better. I’m still sick now but yeah. I still went to dance class because I would not miss it for the world. I happen to really love dance class. oh and BTW I was able to upload some of our videos during dance class. I uploaded it on youku though because as you all know Youtube is blocked here so I’ll see if I can EMBD the vids here.

I’m really just feeling crappy right now. I gained almost 1.5 lbs over the weekend because I ate. But I know its just a temprary gain because most of the food is still in my system and what not. I will be able to get back down to 133. So I am planning on only eating 1 meal a day this week. which is breakfast of course. No meals. but I will have the occasional yofurt and tons of water and PURE veggies. NO MEAT no CARBs no nothing. I just feel really bad that I let myself go this weekend. ugh!

I have been doing my 30 day workout challenge and it has been a help in getting over my guilty feelings. Because I know I’m toning up my body.

Anyway meh

So I had a splurge in food today and BLAH! I don’t even want to care. hahahahaha! I’m just letting it all out this weekend and getting back on track on the start of the week. I weighed myself and I only gained about .5 pounds which is good. Because the amount I have been eating is insane this weekend. But its okay because I have not been stagnant at all. So its fine. I don’t want to beat myself too much about it.

So sometime today I will be posting a video of our dance class. but I need to figure out how to convert it over to a smaller file format becuse right niw its in 118MB and that is waaaaay too big for me for a short video hahaha but I’ll post it anyway.

Anwyay I haven’t got much time right now.

How is everyone doing with their weight loss?

Okay so I was upset with my little sister because she started cursing at me and at my mother and it was a very bad thing to do so I snapped and lashed at her. I was really so upset with her that I walked out of the house and went over to my mom who was having latin dance lessons at the time. I went there out of sheer anger after I trashed the house leaving it for my sister to clean up.
When I got to Central Park (Beijing) mom opened the gate for me and let me inside the classroom (dance room) and there I took her ipod and put on our dance lesson music and just stared danceing thus I was able to get my workout of the day.
Oh i was not able to post yesterday’s 30 day work out challenge because if.. well that.
BUt yeah I need to confess something I was aso angry I ate dinner at around 11pm. I was not supposed to eat dinner but I was just so upset that I needed something to calm me down. And I guess I am an Emotional Eater. :(
Oh well.
No photos for today because I’m still a bit upset.
