beepbeeplove added an entry about lose weight : hmmm bit of a realisation. ive been eating roughly the same for a while, and floating around the same weight. so im not doing something right. i think i need to do more exercise, and less muscle building things. i build muscle really easily, so i dont really need to do weights like i do now. i get enough tone from taekwondo anyway. so :) i was thinking id get some pilates-esque moves from my gym, and do them for half an hour in the morning. then after school go to the gym and do 45-60 mins of cardio. i really need to do the cardio, because im doing a taekwondo grading in june and its really exhausting lol. and ive started counting calories again, because ive been worried i havent been having enough. but i getting obsessed again. i should stop.

Some people like making rice or noodles from a box. That's just the way it is. Whenever my husband has dinner duty (not often) he always ends up using one of those boxes! I try not to complain or let him see the apprehension in my eyes. Tonight he was actually rather proud of his rice dish claiming that it was whole grain. So afterwards, when he was safely on the other end of the house, I checked out the box of Rice-A-Roni Whole Grain Blends Roasted Garlic Italiano.
