Just a typical day, except this time I had to go to work at my friends friends wedding and that lasted quite sometime in a restaurant that has air conditioning problems. [I mean, don't get me wrong, in my pursuit to lose weight, sweat=good] What really surprised me the most when I looked up the calories just now was that the yogurt contains 38 grams of sugar, which I know is SO not good for you. After work I hit the gym and did 30 minutes on the ellipticals. I was getting kind of bored after a while [but luckily tuning out and watching TV just let the time go by] So then, I got tempted. I know it's bad to check and see how much you weigh everyday, because then you might get discouraged, but I just knew I was feeling good and doing what Seth tells me to do, and turns out, in 5 days, I lost 7 lbs. Most presumably water weight [maybe some fat], but it gave me just a motivated boost. [Knowing now that the personal training w/ Seth is working out.]
Portion Control: America vs. The World
When I took the time to travel overseas to Asia, I noticed one big thing that made me realize how fat I was and how unhealthy America is [the portion of food]. In Japan, at McDonald's, the regular cup, is the kids cup in America. The regular fries in Japan is the Kids Fries in America. In Vietnam, at KFC, the portion of one piece of chicken was half of a drumstick [cut right in half of the bone], of course in America, it's the whole bone and caboodle. The reason why America is the fattest nation in the world is because [simply] we eat too much, and exercise too little.
