Camy's diary

Thank you everybody!

Buckeye: with american food i meant Dallas BBQ or something like that... it was ribs and steak and stuff. It was this massive plate with like at least 12 baby back ribs, and a big piece of steak and a 1/4 chicken!! And rice (we traded our french fries for yellow rice) and a mountain of deep fried onion trimmings. We shared what they called "Platter for one" (and around us most people were actually eating this mountain of food by themselves!) and we couldn't finish it! But it was delicious!

Thanks Anke, this week the weather is just grim, I am nto sure how enjoyable it will be to be totally honest!

Wordslinger: I love fitting into kiddie sizes! I am large chested so most t's won't work, but I have one which is actually my favourite t which is girls 12-14 years. It sits just right!

Since it is wednesday I did a little midweek-weighing and I am down another pound... I can't quite believe it, and I won't record it until Sunday if it still isn't there. I think maybe I was eating too little?? Or maybe it just is hormonal... no weight loss for weeks on end and then suddenly this burst of losses without massive amounts of exercise... actually i have been rather sluggish this week so far!

Food for yesterday:
Breakfast: 1 banana
Lunch: 1 tin of mackarel (150 cals), 2 GF slices of toast with a bit of margarine on it (150 cals)
Snack: 1/2 bowl of rice pudding, 3 potato wedges
Dinner: 100 cals worth of pan fried shrimp (with garlic and chilli) and a spicy green salad (lettuce, tomato, olive oil, white vinegar, chilli powder... yum!), 90 cals worth of dark chocolate

No exercise, other than walking around a bit... I really should walk more!!

Food for today:
Breakfast: 1 banana, 1 apple
Lunch: thai red curry with chicken and rice
Snack: vanilla latte (sugar free) and 10 strawberries
Dinner: chinese take out, which was yucky!

Exercise (I really shouldn't because I went to the chiropractor and she doesn't like me to do anything after a session, but i will just swim a little bit... like 20 or maybe 30 lanes):
no exercise... decided to take chiropractors advice... lazy me!

Pshh, swim a little bit she says... I couldn't do more than 3 laps yesterday! Haven't swum (is that a word?) in a lonnng time, but will be doing a 125m race soon... that's FIVE laps! :ack2:

And well done (unofficially, of course) on your losses these last weeks... just make sure you're getting all the good foods in! Ciao!
 
Yes, we Americans are gluttons-- I have the tendency to be at times. You should see me at the Olive Garden with my mother. We order the Soup Salad and Breadsticks-- and they are endless! In one sitting I devoured four bowls of salad, three of soup, and four breadsticks. That's an absolutely disgusting amont of food to consider, but for some odd reason I pride myself in grotesquely consuming it all. My mother and I go to Olive Garden maybe once a season. I do not eat that much all the time. And the amount I eat at that restaurant is probably enough to sustain an individual for a day and a half to two days. You're just compelled to eat more so you get the bang for your buck. It is nice to indulge every once and a while, as long as you're willing to do the work to compensate, heh.
 
Hey Anke, slowly but surely my love! I didn;t start off with 30 lanes... I started off with 10... now I am ok doing 50 but really tired afterwards!

WS: well to eat a lot once in a while is perfectly fine and healthy! And it is just soupd and salad right... no calories in soup and salad ;)!

Yesterday we went to the movies (bad bad choice... hancock) and guess who we met there? Well my exfriend H. I was so shocked to see her. I don;t particularly like her anymore, but man do I miss her! She used to be so much fun... not good for me, not a particularly good friend, but so much fun!
We went for lunch today and it was full of awkward silences... we are going for a coffee now in like half an hour and I think we should really talk our minds and have it over and done with. I want to see, maybe it is semi-fixable and I could have lunch with her every so often, or if it isn't fixable at all, then I want to know what it was that broke it all (other than what she usually says which is that I broke it all).
This unfortunately will render me unable to go to the gym once again, but tomorrow I will have a proper work out... I want to see that 139 already!!!!!

So food of the day:
Breakfast: 1 banana, 1 apple
Lunch: Butternut squash and pea risotto (a bit fatty actually)
Snack: light caramel frapp
Dinner: 1 chicken breast cooked in that fat free cooker thingie, some guacamole on it (to contrarest the fatfree-ness), a small salad of spinach and asparagus and (oh stupid stupid me) 1 and a half chocolate desserts my friend made which were a total calorie bomb! I mean there was everything in there, sugar, butter, choc, double cream, etc... I had the first one with mango, the second half plain... it was so yummy but now my guilt and my tummy hurt!
Tomorrow I am going to work hard! I need to get rid of all that choccy love!

No exercise.

Good luck on hitting that milestone.

It sounds like you had a great holiday. I keep telling you that walking is a great form of exercise. It is great that you are seeing some great movement at the scales.

You say that you have recently had a very difficult period. Remember that most women retain water around the time of their period so it is perfectly reasonable that you are seeing weightloss that you have earned over a longer time - but the retained water has masked the fact that you had lost fat from the scales.
 
Hehe, thanks Camy... I made 4 lanes in a row today, woop woop!

So do tell, why is Hancock a bad choice (like is it just not ur kinda thing, or is it really bad??) It's just coz I know we're seeing it this wknd... hehe

Keep on fighting the good fight :)
 
Oh, there are definitely calories in soup and salad, especially if you ask them to put the cheese on it. I always try to rationalize myself out of the guilt of eating dairy. I argue first that it is a good source of protein that I desperately need because I rarely eat meats. Second, it has calcium which is essential because I do not wish to develop osteoporosis or osteopenia. And third, I am an Exercise Nazi, and because so, I can eat whatever the hell I want-- so not the truth.

From what I've read in your diary, you have such healthy eating habits in comparison to my own. Perhaps I should list my food consumption (and not calories) for the whole world to see. Airing out my dirty laundry will compel me to make healthier choices.

I just died when I read that. Risotto is possibly the single greatest food invented. Seriously. When made right it is SINFUL!!!!!!

I've been thinking about you ever since you said you and your ex-friend were meeting. The best things to do in those situations is to just air it all out. Let it be. Speaking your mind is possibly the hardest thing a person can do. I had to do it earlier this year with a girl in my sorority. I dated her brother and let's just say our relationship didn't end well and because she was my friend she decided to lay into me when we drunk saying what a horrible person I was blah blah blah.

We didn't talk for half a year. Until one day I saw her and said "let's get coffee." It was word vomit. I did miss her. She was one of those people that is so much fun, the life of the party. We had coffee and it was so awkward we didn't say much of anything the first couple of minutes. Then she out of nowhere said she was sorry. That was great she said something first since I'm such a chicken-shit. We talked about everything and I told her how I felt and I feel so much better about it. We will never be as close as we once were, but it is nice to have her to talk but it is nice to have that chapter ended.

So what I'm trying to say after this long rambling session IS just do it. haha Close that chapter and start over. You will feel better, and she probably will too. She is probably waiting for you to make a move first.

ANYWAYS! You are doing great, and you WILL reach your goal!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU have the drive and YOU can DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exclamation point.
 
Ooooo, my dad makes a real, sticky risotto with butternut and parmesan and sliced up smoked sausages... delish!!!
 
Well...
so the talk with my ex-friend didn't really quite happen... I was waiting for us to be all settled to start and then another friend came along and she just never left (not even to the toilet) so we just smalltalked most of the time.
When we parted she gave me a hug and I told her we really need to talk, just the 2 of us, then I texted her, that I really miss her, but that if we don't talk it out I won't be up for coffee and lunches anymore, because I just can't (for those who don't feel like reading this whole thing I resume: we were best buddies, I came back from a vacation to find that she didn't want to talk to me anymore because someone else had told her, I said bad things about her behind her back. Then she bullied me for a few days and I decided not to ever meet her again).
I don't think I can be her best friend anymore, she is too much of a queen bee, has to be the center of everything and because she is fun and very pretty and just one of those people everyone feels honoured has chosen you to be her friend, she is extremely popular. Everybody else will always stick to her, just because that is the way it is.
But I would love to be able to have lunch and coffee with her sometimes, I would like to have her to talk to sometimes. Not a best friend, but a friend, that would be nice.
I have been feeling quite lonely for a while now and I really need to have someone at uni (other than the man) to talk to... I have friends, I do, but at uni I am mostly alone.

Anywho... she answered my text saying that she also thought we had to talk and that she also missed me. So I guess at some point we will talk... we haven't made a date of it or anything, I would say let's do it today after her labs (and before I start my evening work in hospital), but I have a dentist appointment, so I don't know if I will be able to meet her (or talk properly).

So my throat is slightly sore, which is no wonder, it is fucking freezing in this country, I can't wait to go to Ghana, land of eternal sunshine!

Due to my overly eager eating of chocolate mousses yesterday I have to work hard today. I am going to go to the pool now and do 40 lanes (hopefully!). Tomorrow I will run my 5 miles... I want to see that 139 on the scales on Sunday!
I also decided to go rollerblading with my girl friends next week, which is a cool way of doing activity and having fun together! We are still deciding on the day etc...
And next week I need to dedicate myself more to the exercise routine because 1) I have been a total slack this week, 2) I am running my race on saturday, 3) I want to get to my next milestone (the 59.9 kg mark, I am currently 63.5kg) as soon as possible... in fact if I could manage to get there before august 12th that would be amazing.
When I dare to dream, I dream that by august 12th I will weigh 58 kg.... I haven't been down there in my adulthood ever! And it is my mom's birthday which we are celebrating by going sailing, so I will be in the dream bikini! But when I wake up from dreaming, I think that maybe 5 kg in 1 month is a bit too much... but well, that is my next minigoal:
58 kg for august 12th!
If I don't make it it is ok, but I will aim for that!

Food of the day:
Breakfast: banana, apple, slimming tea (I think I need to invert it to apple then banana, because eating an apple makes me hungry! Go figure!)
Lunch: half a bowl of rice, half a bowl of greek and potato salad
Snack: dark mocha frapp. (it is only 130 cals... how can I NOT have it???)
Dinner: 1/2 carton of green soup, with some fresh broccoli thrown in, 2 chicory with some balsamic vinegar, 1 yogurt (100 cals)

Exercise:
26 laps swimming... I wanted to do 30 in 25 minutes, but the darn slow swimmer in front of me made it impossible!

Went to Ikea, bought soem bedlinen... was fun!

Have a little cold, nothing major, but blocked nose, sore throat, head-ache and cough... bummer because I would have liked to work out today, but I think I should rest until Monday...

This will be my next diet... in case my current change of habits doesn't work:
People are always on the lookout for a new diet. The trouble with most diets is that you don’t get enough to eat (the starvation diet), you don’t get enough ariation (the liquid diet) or you go broke (the all-meat diet). Consequently, people tend to cheat on their diets, or quit after 3 days. Well, now there’s the new Toddler Miracle Diet.

Over the years you may have noticed that most two year olds are trim. Now the formula to their success is available to all in this new diet. You may wish to consult your doctor before embarking on this diet; otherwise, you may be seeing him afterwards. Good Luck!

DAY ONE:

Breakfast:
One scrambled egg, one piece of toast with grape jelly.
Eat 2 bites of egg, using your fingers; dump the rest on the floor.
Take 1 bite of toast, and then smear the jelly over your face and clothes.

Lunch:
Four crayons (any color).
A handful of potato chips.
A glass of milk (3 sips only, then spill the rest).

Dinner:
A dry stick, two pennies and a nickel, 4 sips of flat Sprite.

Bedtime snack:
Throw a piece of toast on the kitchen floor.

DAY TWO:

Breakfast:
Pick up stale toast from kitchen floor and eat it.
Drink half bottle of vanilla extract or one vial of vegetable dye.

Lunch:
Half tube of “Pulsating Pink” lipstick and a handful of Purina Dog Chow (any flavor).
One ice cube, if desired.

Afternoon Snack:
Lick an all-day sucker until sticky, take outside, drop in dirt. Retrieve and continue slurping until it is clean again. Then bring it inside and drop on the rug.

Dinner:
A rock or an uncooked bean, which should be thrust up your left nostril.
Pour Grape Kool-Aid over mashed potatoes; eat with spoon.

DAY THREE:

Breakfast:
Two pancakes with plenty of syrup, eat one with fingers, rub in hair.
Glass of milk; drink half, stuff other pancake in glass.
After breakfast, pick up yesterdays sucker from rug, lick off fuzz, and put it on the cushion of best chair.

Lunch:
Three matches, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Spit several bites onto the floor.
Pour glass of milk on table and slurp up.

Dinner:
Dish of ice cream, handful of potato chips, some red punch.
Try to laugh some of the punch through your nose, if possible.

FINAL DAY:

Breakfast:
A quarter tube of toothpaste (any flavor), bit of soap, an olive.
Pour a glass of milk over bowl of cornflakes; add half a cup of sugar.
Once cereal is soggy, drink milk and feed cereal to dog.

Lunch:
Eat breadcrumbs off kitchen floor and dining room carpet.
Find that sucker and finish eating it.

Dinner:
A glass of spaghetti and chocolate milk. Leave meatballs on plate.
Stick of mascara for dessert.

HALARIOUS!!! I read this and cracked up the whole way through! My favorite:

Bedtime snack:
Throw a piece of toast on the kitchen floor.

DAY TWO:

Breakfast:
Pick up stale toast from kitchen floor and eat it.


Ha!
 
Hehehehehe, that was quite funny, haven't read it before!

Too bad about the cold, Camy! Hope you get well quickly, sounds like you're resting and eating well :)

I know what you mean about being lonely for female company! I've estranged all of my highschool friends and not really made any more lasting ones... and it ain't that easy once ur outta school!

Have a great day!
 
I could not kick this cold's ass and now I have a full blown flu going on, muscle pain, head ache, throat ache, a horrible cough... I just lay in bed all day doing nothing but watch Grey's anatomy and read and sleep... also barely ate anything, but I am good with my fluids, drinking my 4th cup of tea, had a few glasses of water and some OJ...

Unfortunately it is one of my close friend's good bye party, and I really have to go, so in half an hour I am going to get up, have a shower, get dressed and drag my sorry ass to his party, just for a few hours. I am bored of lying around as well, but I feel really weak!

I am so angry I got this now, I had been so healthy the past 4 months, I thought I finally had my health under control, and I am running that race next saturday, I should be training myself to race rather than lie around with a tormenting headache...

Food of the day:
Breakfast: 1 banana
Lunch: 1 egg (hard boiled), 3 pieces of broccoli and half a tomato
Dinner: some sushi

Obviously no exercise.
Grumpy sick and unhappy, Camy
 
Aww, that sucks. Well, take this time to REALLY rest and recuperate... then you can spring back into full action next week!

Hope you start feeling better soon!
 
Thanx girls,
today is the first day in over a year that I missed work because I feel unwell... usually I just gather my strength and go to work anyway, I think that having a normal life helps regain my strength quicker, but I am just too toast today.
My nose runs like it is trying to get away from my face, my head aches like hell, and the cough is turning into bronchitis... the man is trying to take care of me in his own weird way (he asks before doing anything and then when I say yes to his questions, like I do want tea, he looks really unhappy that he offered in first place... men!).

Yesterday I ended up eating tons of sushi, and it was a lovely dinner out, I was pretty drugged up and except for the cold sweats, I enjoyed it.
Today I am going to stay in bed all day again, because tomorrow I want to be all better! I have to do some stats online lectures, so I will try to do them today (I have to do 6 in all, I want to try to do 2 today), and maybe write a bit of a plan of action for my dissertation.

I don't feel like eating, but do it anyway, because I am afraid not eating will take my strength... so food of the day:
Breakfast: 1 banana
Lunch: chicken and vegetable soup (about 7 spoonfulls of it)
Dinner: small piece of meat (about 1/10th of the steak of the man), 1 apple, 200 ml of OJ, 2 lindt balls... felt very sick afterwards

Cough,cough, Camy
