Oh god it was SO amazing to go out, man I did not realize how terribly much I missed being out with friends. I think I laughed more today than I did in the whole entire last 5 months combined... so sad! I need to get out more!
Foodwise today will go down in history as a cheat day, I had more calories than I should although I stopped eating once I was full. So that is something!
Aprox. food log:
Breakfast: 3 ricecakes with cream cheese, 1 apple
Snack: asian mix (was like 400 cals!)
Lunch: spinach and carrot omelette, 200 cals of surimi, 50 cals of cheese that did not taste so nice
Snack: 1 apple
Dinner: 3 glasses of coke, 10 cheesy french fries (we shared a plate in 3), less than half of my teriyaki chicken (so about 1/2 chicken breast, maybe 1/3 cup of wild rice), 2 or 3 glasses of something alcoholic... no clue what was inside some form of orange juice-fanta, it was yummy!
Exercise:
2 hours of lyrical dance

Thank you Azdren, it really is!
Today was a good day allround, went out to walk with a friend from dance for a few hours, then had dinner (fast food though) with another friend and a friend of hers. Bought a cordless phone, maybe more communication will help the boyfriend problem... and maybe less will too, but I will try with more for starters and that means being able to talk from my room not having to wait for all my flatmates to go to bed.
Food today:
Lunch: 1 medium portion of risotto (400 cals)
Snack: 1 small cappuccino, 4 cookies (500 cals)
Dinner: medium mcd french fries, 1 small hamburger minus the bread (so really just the patty) (500 cals?? Around there)
Overall: 1400 cals (fine)
Exercise:
about 3 hours walking (off which 1 on the beach)

Lazy sunday, spent most of it in bed lazying around, went to the movies which was fun and nice, pondered about boyfriend situation. I think I really need to put my focus back on me and my own happiness. I will try this week to focus on myself, on allowing and helping myself to be happy as a person, as myself, not as a half of a couple, nt as his girlfriend, but as me.
Food log:
Breakfast: 1 yoghurt (50 cals), 1 apple (70 cals)
Lunch: medium portion of risotto (450 cals)
Dinner: 1 small salted popcorn (aroun 500 cals), 1 giant mug of tea with a teaspoon of honey (80 cals)
Overall: 1150 cals (low but since no exercise that is ok).

Hey Camy,
Sorry to hear about your relationship troubles
as you say you need to think about you and put yourself first, as nobody else is going to. Sometimes you have to be a bit selfish and put your foot down. Let us know how things go.
Nice one getting back to your dance classes and meeting your next milestone! Good luck for the next weigh-in! x

I hope everything worked out with the internship in AU. THat sounded cool..
I also joined a group in support of Docs without Borders!
About the relationship troubles. Just do what you think is right. But be honest to yourself first and foremost. If you see the truth as being something other than what it was once perceived, make the necessary changes to make things right, and for the reality to match the perceptions.
Anyhow, keep your chin up, keep dancing! You can never dance too much, and dancing is the best!

If crying made you lose weight I would hands down be the biggest loser this week (though I did swallow a lot of snot... how many cals are in snot?? ). Honestly so much heartache, so much drama... I hate it... but at least now I know. He opened up to me and explained his issues and I pressed him to chose between me and the single life he fancies. He chose the latter and I turned into that person I don't want to be, I cried and passive aggressively tried to make him feel guilty. Then I calmed down and told myself who I want to be... I want to be someone who is honest and good and helps people, I stopped crying and told him that he was right, he shouldn't spend the rest of his life wondering what if. If he wants to be single it hurts me beyond words (didn't tell him that bit) but that is his right and we will both be ok. It will be hard, I need to rebuild a life that was very much dependent and a bit centred around him, but I will be ok, I will survive and I will be stronger because of this.
Anyhow as irony goes, good me did apparently reminded him of something he loved and he turned soft and told me he would check for flights. I told him not to, if he wants to be single he should be. He still said he was going to look and call me tomorrow and I told him to email as I don't want to start crying in his earshot again. I still think he won't come, I don't have huge hopes but I know I will be in pain when I get the email telling me, so I don't want that pain to turn me into crazy witch again.
To be honest I think I deserve someone who does not have as many doubts about me, someone who adores me and knows I am his priority or at least understands how in a relationship you have to come to decisions together. But unfortunately right now I love this guy.
But either way I will be ok, I need to tell myself this often right now but it will get better in time.
Of course today when I needed it the most dance class was cancelled due to snow day, I was so angry, so instead I walked over an hour in the snow (all the way home from dance scool.. it is really rather far!). Oh and I forgot to have dinner in all the fighting and talking and whining, I am not hungry, have a massive headache anyhow.
Food log:
Breakfast: 4 ricecrackers with cream cheese (250 cals), 1 fat free yoghurt with honey (100 cals)
Snacks: 1/2 banana (50 cals), 1 bowl of oats in rice milk (150 cals), 1 ricekrispie treat (150 cals)
Lunch: 1 chicken breast (250 cals), 1 mug of soup (100 cals)
Overall: 1000 cals (low but a shit day overall)
Exercise:
1 hour walk in the snow while it rained

Confused highly confused... boyfriend now called telling me he wants me. I don't know... we did talk a lot on the past 2 days (apart from you know fighting), and he is willing to come up on friday but he would only be able to stay 4 days and that would be it until september. Alternatively he could come at the end of april. That sounds so far away (6 weeks!) but then he would be able to stay 10 days... he sounded like he really meant it this time and I am still going to focus on myself and not on him until at least april.

OK, good day overall, I am noticeably thinner, my jeans (which just a few months ago I could only put on with an effort) are now so big that they slide right off me. I am pretty amazed by this because I have not lost THAT much in weight (I mean since they were tight barely maybe 10 pounds) but I am so much mroe contained, it is lovely!
My dance teacher praised me today saying I was dancing it really beautifully... I know I am still one of the weakest in that class (it is the highest level though so I am ok being the weakest), but if I am managing to look nice when I dance half my work is done (the other half is the much more difficult bit of actually remembering the steps and stuff).
Also team ORANGE tied for first place in the BL challenge which makes me very happy, Let's hope to go on like this and maybe be the ONLY first place next week!!
I found an outfit that I may purchase as my skinny outfit, it is nothing special but something I would have never worn when I was big (a jeans skirt and a white blouse, very normal, very natural) and I would like to wear it to pick up my (still/maybe/ex) boyfriend... to show him how well I do without him! Will go to the shop maybe tomorrow and check out the price.
Oh, I felt sick to my stomach today twice, did not get sick, just a wave of nausea unfortunately both time just as I was going to have a meal so my meals were very small today and I once again did not reach my cal goal. Honestly if two weeks ago you'd have told me I would be trying hard to manage 1200 cals I would have said you are bonkers, but as it is this is my third day in which I struggled (though I just did the math and I just about reached it!).
Food log:
Breakfast: yoghurt with muesli (300 cals)
Snack: 1 piece of chocolate (100 cals)
Lunch: 1 cup of rice (200 cals)
Snack: 1 nut bar (250 cals), 3 rice cakes with yoghurt (150 cals), 1 bottle of tea+juice (150 cals)
Dinner: 1 glass of coke (100 cals)
Overall: 1250 cals (yey I did make it over 1200!!)
Exercise:
90 minutes of jazz dance

I know what you mean! When I first joined here, I was almost a little jealous of the people who had trouble reaching their calorie goals. But now I've had a few days of that as well.
Your dance class sounds like it's a lot of fun and grats to you for finding an exercise that you love.
It's great that even after a tough week you are doing so well!!!
I'm starting dance classes next week with a friend of mine once a week to mix it up from my gym workouts, I can't wait! It's like couples club dancing, kinda heaps of dance styles mixed together with ballroom so will be interesting. It's great you have something you're really passionate about to keep you healthy.

Thank you for stopping by everyone, Tutti, I am going to wait maybe another month or so before buying new jeans... I really don't want to have many clothes I fall in love with and cannot wear once I am skinny.
You'd think that eating very little and exercising a whole lot I should have lost a lot of weight this week but a little peek onto the scales begs to differ... I hate when that happens. I don't think I gained a ton but I don't think I will be lower than 135 (in fact I think I will be higher than 135). I really wanted to be 134... well next week! Also I just drank a litre and a half maybe I will be lower after all... nah, I don't think so but whatever, I did well all week.
Today was a boring day, no exercise, not much happened generally speaking, so whatev.
Food log:
Breakfast: muesli with oat milk and some sugar (300 cals)
Lunch: small spanish omelette (300 cals), cucumber salad (50 cals)
Snack: 1 coffee, 1 OJ, 1 handful of chips (400 cals)
Dinner: 1/2 chicken breast (200 cals), big green salad (100 cals)
Overall: 1350 cals, excellent!
No exercise.

Liquid is deceptivly heavy. You would be pretty surprised. Which is another reason the scale is such a poor measurement tool. Anyways, you can't sweat each days weigh in. The body has a way of retaining one day and letting loose another, so in the end if you stick with it, it will all average out.
Doing great teamie

Ok, so well 135 it is, that is still a pound loss so I should be happy. I am just afraid I wont manage 132 this month because I only have next week to lose, then I will start my TOM weight gain, grr!!

Lunch: lentils and a sausage
