2013 Stats | Food Log | PhotoShoot

Hey Everyone! So its time for me to log in here my starting stats for 2013.

• Weight: 130lbs
• Waist: 31.0 in
• Hips: 38 in
• Thigh: 22.5 in
• Arms: 10 in
• Chest: 37.0 in

Yes I gained that much weight during my holidays and vacation. But my chest shrank from 41in to 37in so I’m really happy with that.

Anyway this is what I ate today. I have started using MyFitnessPal again and Im really excited and happy. You can add me there. I find MyFitnessPal really convenient when tracking food consumption. But I still love using fitocracy to log in my workouts. 🙂

Breakfast:
1 Slice of Whole Wheat bread with 2 Tbs of chunky peanut butter : 250 Calories

Lunch:
Chinese salty bread with 1 fried egg : 285 Calories

Dinner:
1 small serving of Tomato garlic and mushroom omelete: 160 Calories
2 Hardboiled eggs : 155

TOTALSCalories: 850 / 1,220
Carbs: 25 / 168
Fat: 46 /45
Protien: 39 / 46

Wow I went under my goal caloric intake for today. And I never really thought about what I ate. I went 1 point over my target fat intake but I think it should be fine. I think there might be something wrong with the tracker because Im so under my carb intake goal (which is not a bad thing) but still.

I didn’t work out today because I woke up late and I had a photo shoot. Here is one photo I can share with you all.

Yeah my cosplay friends call me Neko-Chan which means Kitty/Cat. But anyway this was the photos shoot that I had today at the ChaoWai SOHO. I had tons of fun but it is also very tiring. It feels more tiring than a work out at times.

Anyway what do you guys think?

Veggie Kebabs – Recipe I Got From A Game

Veggie Kebabs

okay first of all I was so surprised to get this email from a Facebook game I was trying out. I don’t normally play games on Facebook anymore but I just tried this one out and whilst playing I unlocked something then it sent me an email and it was a recipe! and my goodness I WANT TO TRY IT. Looks easy enough and it serves A LOT so you can just adjust it to your own satisfaction. Who’d have thought that  game can actually make one want to try a nice healthy recipe.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 10)

• 1 pounds (450 g) wild mushrooms
• 1 medium-sized heirloom tomatoes
• 1 large zucchini
• 1/2 large Vidalia onion
• 1 large bell peppers
• 1 medium-sized squash
• 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup (170 grams) honey or agave
• 1/2 small bunch Fresh Basil
• 10 bamboo skewers

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soak the skewers for 45 minutes in water. This will prevent them from burning when grilled.
2. Cut vegetables into uniform bite sizes pieces and line them up on the skewers. Arrange vegetables to keep like colors separate. Think rainbows! Keep in mind this can be eaten by hand and doesn’t need a knife and fork.
3. To make the veggie glaze, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (or agave) and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Let the glaze cool down to room temperature. The glaze will become thicker as it cools down but should still be pourable like honey.
5. While the glaze is still warm, tear up the basil to release its flavor and add it to the glaze.
6. Grill the kebabs on a grill pre-heated to 400-450°F (205 – 230°C). The goal is to get some grilled flavor and color on a couple sides. This should take under a minute on each side
7. Once the kebabs look good, plate them and spoon the veggie glaze over the top of the skewer. The veggie glaze will run down and coat the rest of the kebab naturally. Make sure you get plenty of that great basil on there from the glaze.

I haven’t tried this yet but I will and then maybe I will replace the photo on top hahaha! I know its a cartoon but hey its from a game and I’m really keen on trying it out! ^-^ Let me know if you did and tell me what you think of it!

The Low Down on Sweet Potatoes

Hey guys! Its been some time since I actually posted something other than my daily journal and food intakes. So here is one for you all.

Lately, since switching over to vegetarianism, I have been loading up on sweet potatoes. I usually just like them boiled, steamed or roasted. But because I’m lazy i just boil them hahaha!

I thought to myself, usually when I eat a lot of a certain type of food or foods I usually want to know if there are actual health benefits and if I find it highly useful I end up sharing it to all my lovely readers and fellow Thinspireers  d Fitspireers. ^-^ So here is the low down on sweet potatoes. 😛
