Thanks Dagmar and Cats Tongue!! I think I will aim to be between 1200 and 1300 calories a day and see what happens.

Cats Tongue - are you a student by chance? I can't remember...You're also a vegetarian right? I'm new to vegetarianism...but so far its going well, and I'm enjoying my new way of eating :)

Morning! I've got nothing new, just wanted to say hello!

Morning all - I'm heading to Charlottesville today with DH to meet the inlaws for lunch. it's a beautiful fall day for doing that!

Nic - welcome back and good luck finishing your experiments! Don't stress too hard!

Dag - Have a blast! I still haven't heard back from my friend, but then she does have a 2 year old and is 5 months pregnant... so, I will try to call again today and still post the restaurant. Who knows, you may have a moment to jump on the internet while in the city, and maybe it would still work for you to try the restaurant. I don't think you would be disappointed (mind you, it's nothing fancy, it's tiny, has tons of character, and fabulous food, all at reasonable prices)

Anyway, hello to everyone else, and I need to get moving to get out the door!

Oh, Barbara - today is your big day/night... I think? Hope it goes great!

Hey all,

Not much going on this weekend. Got up early this AM for my long run (9 miles). For the first time I found it hard. It was very hilly. I really had to pull out the gusto to finish. I don't even know what my time was. I completely forgot to turn on my stop watch.

Anyways, Dagmar have a wonderful trip. I love New York.....it's a great city.

Have a great day all. I am going to soak in epsom salt. That's if I can lift my legs to get in the tub.

G'Morning Featherweights.

I'm sitting here procrastonating doing my homework. Yuck.

Steibana - Yep I'm a student and a vegetarian. When did you come over the veggie side? :) Ugh, I hate this time of the term. I'm definitely feeling the stress this weekend (I have five midterms over the next TWO weeks.) Yucky. And right now I just can't bring myself to actually do any work, which is the worst thing.

Alright, I'm going to try and get to it. After I check out a couple more boards here though. ;)

Hi Everyone!

Just got back from a friend's wedding...it was beautiful!!!!

Cats Tongue - I switched over about 1.5 months ago :) I read a book called "The Ethics of What We Eat" by Peter Singer (I highly recommend it, if you haven't read it!), and it discusses the ethical and environmental implications of factory farming. After reading it, I decided that I couldn't feel good about eating meat anymore. How long have you been a vegetarian for? Good luck with all of your midterms...Do you go to U Vic?

Good Night Everyone! Tomorrow the calorie counting begins...

It's very very quiet here at 6 in the morning. Whenever you get up ... remember us shift workers would ya?

Just kidding! Have a lovely relaxing Sunday everyone!

Hey all.

Happy News I'm down 1.2lbs since I last weighed in...

And that means the 140s!!!! WOOT! WOOT!!!!!!!

Nic - I've been a vegetarian since... grade 10. It'll be 5 years in January I think. Wow. :D Can't believe it lasted this long. It all started for me because a friend of mine was a serious vegetarian (she went vegan, the nutter ;) ) and I thought, maybe I'll give this a try. My mom and dad got me a book for christmas after I mentioned it like once... And then I decided, well I'll try for a week and five years later... :lol:
And I am a UVIC student. I love it here. It's beautiful. :) Where do you go to school? What are you studying?

rswlchick - 9miles. o.0 wow. Good for you! Are you training for something? I have to do a long run today, but it's only going to be like 10k, which isn't even 5miles. hee hee. I'd like to get back up to 1/2marathon distances though.

Susan - Here's a moment for all you shift workers. Honestly, changing your patterns around all the time is amazing. :) And it's quiet here too, but in a nice lazy (late) Sunday morning kind of way..... ahhhh.

Well I must be off to get stuff done before I go for my run and get loads of work all finished up. Have a lovely sunday Featherweights.

DAGMAR -- This is for you -- that is, IF you are still in the city, and IF you are online: From my friend: The Indian restaurant is on 1st ave just south of 6th st. A taxi driver can take you. it has a 2 word name where the second word is long and the first word is something like Milon. The restaurant is on the west side of the street - it is upstairs and it’s the one with all the lights. Be careful because there are 2 indian restaurants side by side all loaded with mostly red lights, when looking at the restaurants, go to the one on the left (or south) -- the waiters are often standing on the stairs outside trying to beckon customers in. Go to the one on the left - it is fabulous and you won't regret it! And you won't forget it!

Ok - how are those for sketchy directions to a restaurant?!

My day was ok, but I'm very sad the weekend is OVER. Where did it go?

Here's hoping everyone has a great week!

I feel your pain Claire! I am also sad that my weekend is over!!!! *Sigh*

My first real day of calorie counting went well...I came in at just a hair over 1200 calories, and I went for a 6K run. I guess that's a step in the right direction!

Cat's Tongue - Wow, that's a long time!! It seems like your parents were very supportive of you! My parents are pretty good about it too, aside from not knowing what to cook for me (but I don't live at home, so usually its not a problem). I go to McMaster University in Hamilton...I'm in my fifth year of genetics co-op :) I've never been to BC, but my cousin lives in Vancouver, and I've always wanted to go out for a visit...it sounds gorgeous! What are you studying?
