new vegetable no. 1

i've decided to try a new fruit or vegetable every week. this week, it was butternut squash. now, i've had butternut squash before but that was a long time ago and i didn't like it because my dad didn't like it (no, i don't have the electra complex). i didn't remember what it tasted like and they had little organic ones in asda. so i made stuffed butternut squash - i stuffed it with onions, mushrooms and quorn pieces, put a slice of cheese on top and had it with lettuce and cucumber. i thought the taste was ok, but i didn't like the texture. so i only ate the stuffing and left the butternut squash. oh well. hopefully, next week's vegetable/fruit will be more successful.

i didn't want to say yesterday, but paulene's 12 week challenge started yesterday and i had to weigh myself. i weighed... brace yourselves... 66 kilos! bollocks bollocks bollocks! however, as my normal weigh in day is wednesday, i'll have more than a week before sending my next weight and i'm really hoping to do well. my goal for the challenge is to be 59 kilos at the end of the challenge.

foodwise, i'm doing great. i had cereal with yogurt, a yogurt and the stuffed butternut squash without the butternut squash today so another day without bread/pasta/rice.

exercisewise, still shit. i was talking to my mom today and complained about how i can't find any motivation and she said that perhaps i'm not ready yet with surgery being only 8 weeks ago and my body is trying to tell me that. well, i don't know. it would be a perfect excuse and i don't want an excuse. but it's a possibility. i'll wait for a few more weeks, perhaps when i'm ready, the gym will have personal trainers?

spanish tomorrow, i'm looking forward to it :) i still have half of the homework to do!
