2010, the year I danced myself thin!

Hey Camy,

All your food looks great. You have so much consistency and will power!

I have really enjoyed doing a lot of exercise this week but it knocked me for six - by Friday I was in so much pain, and I still ache a lot now. It's frustrating because I've had to give myself the weekend off from exercise when I would enjoy it and know I'd be burning all those extra calories. I guess I have to let my body adjust to it all slowly. Anyway, my point is it's motivating to see diaries like yours from people who are getting the good exercise in each day. :)

xx
 
Thank you tutti, that was a really lovely post!

Today I also moved a ton, did about 3 hours of walking and an hour of ropewalking (which in case you wondered is very very hard! And really in my case should be called ropefalling!). Food was way too much... a lot of mozzarella was involved and I won't even be able to log it because I cannot remember what I ate after 6 o clock... I really need to focus, the whole weekend was a bit of a hot food mess. But yummy!

I am glad a new week is beginning though, I am looking forward to dancing.
 
Goo day but defo no weight loss for tomorrow for BL... dangit! But I knew that a weekend of excessses would not really lead to a huge weight loss!

Food log:
Breakfast: muesli with yoguhrt (250 cals)
Snack: choco krispie bar (150 cals)
Lunch: 1/2 small pizza (500 cals), grapes (100 cals), biscuits (100 cals)
Dinner: green salad with tuna (200 cals), biscuits (100 cals)

Overall 1400 cals, good!

Exercise:
almost 2 hours of jazz dance
 
Nice food intake Camy. Is rope walking literally like balancing and walking along a suspended rope like in a circus act???! Or am I being very blonde and you're talking about a completely different activity?! xx
 
Lol, yeah ropewalking is walking on a suspended rope, but we only do it at about kneeheight... still damn hard thing to do!

Things are nto so well in Camyland, I managed to put back on 2 pounds, how is a mystery to me, I have been eating ok, not wonderful, I mean I did not expect a huge loss but a gain? I work my ass off all week every week and I gain fucking weight? I also feel heavier and it isn't even TOM yet!
Also my back is aching pretty badly again and I strained a tendon in my thigh now as well, so I am just achy all over, I hope to recover from both ailments by friday but chances are not good. Oh and my internet went AWOL yesterday so I could not update my biggest loser thingie. I ate alright yesterday and today, about 1500-1600 cals and did 2 hours of dance each day, so not too shabby. Still... meh!

Anyhow, I hope things start looking up tomorrow!

Hello! Just came by to see if you were still in the challenge since there wasn't a post from you this week. I see your internet was down.

Sorry to hear you are not doing ok, but surely things will get back on track! Keep going!!

Keep me posted on if you still want to participate. I recorded your weight loss at zero for last week, so no worries. You aren't the only person to gain, so don't feel bad about it. That's the ebb and flow of weight loss!
 
I do think I need to reficus, we got a picture of our dresses fro june 12th and I really really really want to look good in it, but I am so unmotivated since the gain. I feel like whatever I do I won't lose anyway... and I have been wondering if maybe I need to up my thyroid meds but I would have to get a blood test and all that jazz to confirm it. I feel tired all the time (possibly because I do a lot) and I feel down, both these things can be due to low thyroid hormone... or just life!

Anyhow I weighed myself tuesday, wednesday and friday all three days at the same damn weight of 137... by yesterday I wanted to be 134 at the most. I hate this so much, I feel fat, I see myself as fat, all the good feelings I had a couple of weeks ago are gone. And I am expecting my period by the end of next week so I expect to gain even more this week, great! I don't even feel like watching what I eat because what is the point if I can watch it and gain weight anyhow...

Otherwise things are ok, I have been eating more than usual these past 2 days (had a ton of coke and greasy sausage yesterday). I am going to try to refocus today and start losing again, I want to be 120 by june 12th... I really really need to do this for myself for my selfesteem and for my happiness.

Food of today:
Breakfast: 2 yoghurts with a little chocolate sprinkles in them (400 cals)
Snack: 1/3 of a glass of pickled onions (50 cals)
Lunch: 6 crab sticks with a little low fat mayo (150 cals), stir fry veggies with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar (200 cals)
Dinner: ? going out but will try to go for a salad of sorts and diet coke (when I am out I don't like drinking water... boooooring!)

Exercise... probably nothing much, but I did all 4 classes this week and my thigh and my back need a breaky breaky!
 
Food log:
Breakfast: 1 yoghurt, 1 tea with honey
Lunch: wok rice noodles with veggies and shrimp with spicy tomato based sauce
Snack: 1 coke, 1 cappuccino
Dinner: 1 egg and 2 eggwhite scramble, a few bites of spinach with yoghurt (didn't like it), bit of chocolate

Exercise:
walked for about an hour
 
Went to get a blood test for my thyroid hormones, will know on wednesday if that is what is bothering me (symptoms I do have: very dry and itchy skin, general blueness, a lot of fatigue, less weightloss than one would expect when looking at my exercise level and calorie intake, hair loss; symptoms I do not have: chilliness). Because time is always short here I had no time to eat properly and get the blood test done, so I went to McDs. Oh well, I did my weigh in this morning (instead of tomorrow, as I totally sodium loaded at McD) and I am 136 so 1 pound down from last week and I should be getting my period this week... actually I feel like I should get it tomorrow but datewise it is not due until thursday or friday. It has never in 13 years been early and I don't feel bloated but I have that dull ache in the lower abdomen and just the overall periody feeling.

Food log:
Breakfast: 1 ricecakes with cream cheese, 1 small bowl of GF porridge
Snack: 1 apple, 1 small piece of cheese
Lunch: medium fries, hamburger meat out of a quarter pound with cheese
Snack: small pudding
Dinner: veggie stor fry, 1 mug of soup

Exercise:
2 hours of jazz

Hope you have good results on wednesday :eek:
 
Fastest lab EVER! Got my results tonight already, they emailed them! So my iron is fine, my thryoid is borderline, not in the therapeutic target but not over the limit either... I think I will up my drugs but I might talk to an endo too, it is just a pain in the ass to find one and get an appointment, etc...
To be honest on one hand I want to take it if it will help me lose weight (and get rid of the hairloss and fatigue/tiredness), but I am also afraid that that is what is pushing me to up my meds and not actually the sickness (which by the way when I started the meds I thought I would lose weight like crazy and I didn't, so my hopes are not that high that this will power the loss)... I read like 20 papers since I got the results and they all say to try to be under 2 (I am at a 3 right now, but was a 5 and a half when I started).
Will talk to a dr tomorrow... some dr must be available, I fucking study in a hospital for heaven's sake, must be able to talk to one!

Anyhow, dancing was good, I did not feel like going but it was good, got a bit frustrated that the teacher would not get that from my starting position I would need superspeed to reach my final position and I am supposed to do a triple pirouette and a leap and then the next second catch another girl and do a lift and it is just not humanly possible! But well, it will either work in time or she will realize that it is not doable...

Thank you Andy for visiting, I am back on track and can now support you again!

Hi Camy; read back a few pages in your diary and I'm so jealous of where you're at in your weight loss, but I know you worked damn hard to get there. 165 is where I started too. You are doing GREAT. Hope you exam went okay.
 
Exam went great, got 100% so that was great, then the weekend just rushed by, my friends from home are visting. They are extremely health conscious so while we are eating more than my usually allotted 1500 ish cals, we are doing so in a very healthy fashion, with just a few treats here and there (today, we had ice cream, 1 scoop each).
On the other hand we are doing so much exercise, we have been walking upwards of 4 hours a day, today we walked a few hours and then rode some bikes 2 hours. So good good exercise!

Also instead of going out for each meal we have been trying to eat home as often as possible, yesterday we had salad and fish at home, today I am making a chicken and artichoke stew and salad.

Food log today:
Breakfast: yogurt and muesli
Snack: latte
Lunch: 1 mug of soup, 1 big salad
Snack: 1 scoop of ice cream
Dinner: chicken and artichoke stew, salad

Exercise: 2-3 hours walking, 2 hours biking

Food log yesterday:
Breakfast: fruit, tea and 2 chocolate rice cakes
Lunch: 1 slice of hazelnut and cherry cake, 4 mugs of tea
Snack: some cashew nuts, 1 apple
Dinner: fish poached in lemony water, big green salad

5 hours (ish) walking

Food log saturday:
Brunch: fruit and 1 rice cake, 1 coffee
Snack: 1 big coffee with cream

First off, commendable effort on the exam! Can't beat a 100%! :biggrinjester:

Annnnd...

HOLY COW! you've been doing some serious walking! Awesome work! I may have missed the posting, but it sounds like you're feeling better all around! :D Keep up this effort, doing great!

Hope everything is settleing down in Camyland! Take care.
