my diary

Thats a good point Crunchie, distance puts strain on the strongest of relationships.

Do you have strong feelings for him, or might it be worth hooking up with him for some fun, without commiting yourself too much emotionally. You could see where it went from there.
 
Your young...play the field and play hard to get:p . Enjoy being single and have fun dating and flirting! I was 26 before I got married and even then I felt too young!!! You have the rest of your life to settle and start a truly commited relationship. Have fun and try not to worry too much about ONE guy who may or may not like you. Your a beautiful woman and will have no problem catching on with someone who really wants to be with you! Don't spend too much time hashing over something that will only give you a headache! Have fun with him if the time allows and play hard to get...if he really is into you...he'll stick around...if not..his loss and your chance to keep playing the field!!!.
 
You're getting so much advice, I'll just say, do what makes you happy, and if it ceases to make you happy, stop doing it. Sounds logical, but we so frequently get dragged into unhappiness by trying to "make it work" but when it's a new relationship, maybe not getting hurt is better than making it work. Be careful he's not going to put too much on his plate this time too. I'm sorry if I'm a cynic, but I'm also in love (12 years), and I know the right relationship does happen, and for the long term too, but you have to be right for each other. There will always be ups and downs in the long run, and that's when you try to make it work. You have the luxury in a new relationship of doing what's best for you, above what's best for the couple. I'm sure you're tired of over-thinking this by now anyway, so just go have some fun and whatever happens, happens. ;)

Today has been pretty good I think in terms of eating and exercise! I had a plum for my breakfast as I wasn't hungry then ate a portion of brown rice with some home made curry for lunch. After that I cycled to work then back again before having tea of two slices of brown bread, about 1.5 scrambled egg and some baked beans. Me and my mum then headed to the gym and I burned off 350 cals which wasn't too bad!

REally need to go to bed as I'm utterly knackered, thankfully my exercise isn't as bad tomorrow with a 30min weight training session and then a swim.:eek:

Today has been OK but an amusing thing happened to me this morning before I went to work. I was giving water to one of my pet tarantulas that moulted his skin recently and for somereason gained a nasty attitude. He's a goliath bird eater which is the biggest spider in the world but is currently still fairly small. Anyway I reached in his tank to get his water dish when all of a sudden he started hissing, and I don't mean hissing softly softly I mean hissing like an enraged cat or a swan that's just spotted a person get too near her babies. In a panic I threw his water dish out the window and it broke so I say it serves him right.:eek:

I think I may well phone Sam to see what's up as I hate not knowing where I stand, I have someone coming round next Monday and if Sams interested then I think I better know before I see someone else for errr fun and games (me and him are in sort of an open relationship though ironically have a lot more in common than me and Sam do).:eek:

Anyway today has been OK barring the consumption of half a packet of midget gems (sweeties) but they had less calories than the chocolate coated raisins (which was what I wanted). The rest of my food was quite healthy but I'm finding myself stuck between 148 and 148.5 at the moment, I hope I break this wee moment of stuckness soon.:rolleyes:

I also had a terrible chocolate craving earlierwhich is odd as I've never been overly keen on chocolate, all I could think about was eating chocolate while I was swimming and about how, if I got out quick, I could sneak a bar out the vending machine before mum spotted me.:eek: Anyway once I got home I decided it must be just a simple sugar craving so I had a mug of sweetened ea along with a slice of toast half on cheese and half on low sugar jam! Success! I no longer feel the need to stuff myself with chocolate.:)

While I'm on the subject though I'm afraid I will be consuming some chocolate spread next week and it's related to my friend coming over. I will not go into how this chocolate is going to be consumed as this is a family friendly forum I think but I promise to throw the jar away once my friend has gone. Also my Swiss friend is coming over in 3 weeks and she is bringing with her some Swiss chocolate, I intend to eat a fair amount of this simply because I have not eaten chocolate since I started this life style change and lets face it... how many times am I going to get the oppertunity to eat REAL Swiss chocolate!:eek:

Anyway must go now bit knackered after swim!:)

That's going to get some attention!!!! We can only imagine!!!

You know, since you're at the halfway point you just need a little nudge to get over the hump and then I'm sure the pounds will start melting away.
 
Tee Hee!!!

Ha!!!:p I'm still giggling Crunchie. How are you going to eat the chocolate spread??? :D

Glad someone is having fun. I'm sick of being single.:eek: Ignore my self pity.

Half way to target weight? 'Rock' on lady. Hee hee. :)
 
Sounds like you've got some tempting times ahead Crunchie, but as long as you are good the rest of the time you should be fine. Who knows, you may even boost your metabolism and get over this little plateau ;)

Have lots of fun and give the slow worms a pet for me :D

Breakfast: Porridge with spot honey
Lunch: ½ tin tomato soup, 1 slice brown bread
Tea: 2 x ½ grilled cod loin and salad in wholemeal tortilla wrap
Snacks: mango, plum
Supper: slice melon
Exercise: 20min walk
Fizzy juice: none
Water: 2 x 500ml bottle, 2 glasses
Fruit and veg portions: 6

Well today I didn't get much exercise in owing to the fact I totally forgot my local gym was shut from today over the weekend for a local holiday. To tell the truth I was feeling very tired anyway so I won't moan too much.

I tried eating some porridge for breakfast which I don't usually like but I found that with a spot of honey and milk it's ok!:D Cooked a Cod loin in lemon juice and had that in two tortilla wraps with salad for tea so that was OK I think.

I checked my weight tonight and it's at 149, given that I'm usually 2 or so lbs heavier at night I'm taking this as a sign that I've established myself inthe 140's!:D
 
Ok after all this time I only just realized that you have a trantula on your hand in your picture. Just goes to show you how observant I am.

congratulations on getting into the 140's. Sometimes it just seems like forever to get from one point to the next. Good for you!
 
Thanks for the messages all but I have a very quick query...

I checked my scales this morning and sure enough I'm down to 147.5 after being stuck at 148.5 the whole week. I was wondering why I seem to loose a bit more after not exercising as much. In my first week I wasn't doing as much exercise and the weight was falling off, is this just a coincedence?:confused:

Desperate for my lunch despite having a big bowl of porridge for breakfast. Eating breakfast for some reason has made me hungrier during the morning while at work.:(
 
Exercising makes you retain water, I'm not sure why, maybe because the body anticipates dehydration. But that could explain the plateau and then this recent weight loss. Congrats on getting into the 140s .... milestones are so great (and we get more with pounds than kilograms .. heeheehee! ;) )

Keep up the great work, and give the tarantula a ))) shudders((( stroke for me :D
 
Crunchy

I find the same thing happens to me when I exercise. I seem to lose more when I don't exercise as opposed to the weeks that I do. I know muscle weights more than fat but eventually you should show a loss. I don't get it. Maybe the water retention thingy that Mrs. Bear mentioned is the culpret.
 
Great job with sticking to the 140s!!! I'm jumping around and being a cheerleader, which I can totally do now because my back is getting better!! Goooooooooo Crunchie!!
