  • Turbo ~ i looked at a recipe FOR a crepe cake. sweet wow, woman! That looks freakin' AMAZING!

    Blue Isis ~ High five, food twin. Sorry you can relate... Sometimes it actually feels worse to stop mid-binge b.c I feel like why not just finish what I started... The key for me is making a flexible plan, I think. Exercise helps too, but I don't want to get in the habit of trying to out run my silly eating habits.

    nova ~ Oh, my word... I am glad I did not know that shamrock shakes were MINT VANILLA flavored... I would have been tempted.... I feel ya on the cheap shoes mistake. I actually did end up buying a pair of Asics, but they were pretty cheap and when I went for a trial run on the treadmill and couldn't tell if my shins hurt b.c of the shoes or b.c of my training.

    ange ~ lol - we are a chatty bunch. Especially as featherweights, somedays even though we follow all the rules the loss doesn't come...Hugs and hang in there. Woosh could be just around the corner.

    oleh ~ Ah, well... Live and learn. You know, when it comes to calorie counting, I feel like the mantra is just "do your best, but DO it!" Whatever works for you, but don't get hung up on the details. Personally I find myself falling into the all or nothing syndrome. Oh, well if my count isn't exactly where I want it to be, then eff the world and eat the house. Be gentle with yourself and don't get discouraged.
  • HOLA FEATHERS!

    Weight had WOOSHED this morning, so yay! I spent the day at my cousin's place + lot of time in the car = I'm spent.

    I'll be back tomorrow for personals!

    Happy hump day ladies!
  • Ok, i've been slack on this front for long enough, and i also have loads of things i want to know, so it's Personals time!

    turbo great news on your whoooooosh! So what's the Spartan Spring Race? Is it one of those mud-run crazy things? And what does DONZOOO mean??

    Alexis - Well? How was the date?? This is clearly the big news of the whole thread! Hope you had a great time. I'm with you on how hard it is to define hunger and this is something i've worked hard at myself. My (self-invented) diet says that i'm allowed to eat whenever i'm hungry, because a diet that involves hunger isn't going to work for me. But then i have to have a proper meal (albeit a small one); no quick snacks. So the trick is to determine real hunger from wanting to eat. It starts by me asking myself if i want an apple. If no, i'm not hungry! Still learning..

    krampus hi!! it's good to see your familiar face still here, and i love reading your posts. Not keen on suddenly seeing food pics though - i started dribbling....

    PacNW WELCOME!! and good luck with getting back in to it. Your range is the same as mine last year!! I stayed at 118 and below for around 6 months, but unfortunately i piled heaps on since then and here i am again! Don't let it happen to you (if you don't want it to! - although i can't say i'm mega upset really because i enjoyed eating all that food, and now i'm enjoying trying to lose again)

    Leaves sounds like you had a good weekend and that the scales overlooked your lapse - nice work!!

    Blue i've found exactly the same as you regarding slacking off on the weekend - it's ok for maintenance, but i can't lose weight with 5 good days and two bad days, even if the bad days aren't particularly bad. Have to trim it back to a single bad evening (or lunchtime) instead - but i do like to have that indulgence once a week.

    novangel every runner and his dog has Asics here, which is the chief reason i've tended to avoid them lol. They're REALLY popular, so they must be really good. I'm just rebelling for no reason.

    olehcat your new place sounds great! Does this mean you've got a new lifestyle coming up? Is this a big change for you? Bad news with the two extra lbs, but well done in confessing!! I know what you mean about giving yourself the choice. That sort-of works for me, on the other hand if i can disallow something and mean it, i don't have to keep making the decision, 'no means no' end of. Which is easier mentally if you can do it!!

    Nothing much to report except a nights sleep since my last post, but i have a day off today and a few things planned so will check in tomorrow.

    Go hard on your diet's everyone (until the weekend at least........!)
  • Taking a break from essay writing for some replies!

    Xiao- Two years at uni of study too. I took the class as a subsid module in my first two years, we had a lot of focus on grammar and writing! Sadly never been to China, but it's on my bucket list!

    Krampus- man that food looks good! Not sure how I feel about the fried bun though. Sadly didn't get to try out the cheese, never made it to the shops, but next pizza night he won't suspect a thing! How is the sciatic pain? Hope you're feeling better!

    Novangel- Those shakes so yummy. I think i'm glad we don't have them in the UK! I had an egg muffin over the weekend, they used to be really cheap over here but they've gone up so much now. Kinda thankful as I used to buy two and eat them both in one go!

    Ange82- Sounds like a beautiful place for a run. I'm jealous!

    PacNW- Welcome! How's your plan going so far?

    Alexis- Woo for dates with nice guy. The other guy reminds me of a guy in my French class who makes all these offhand comments like that and always sits next to me, grr. Don't let him get under your skin, you have better men in your life

    BlueIsis- Maintain is better than gain! How are things going this week for you?

    Olehcat- sorry to hear you're getting stuck Weekends are my achilles heel too, it's as if I feel that because there's less working to be done, that I can relax my diet as well as myself. Do you have an app or a diary for writing your calories in? It really helps for me!

    Turbo- yay for the woosh! I'm also intrigued as to what the Spartan Spring is, I have this picture in my mind of hundreds of people in togas on pogo sticks! lol.

    I hit a new low of 147 yesterday. Exciting, as it's lower than I ever remember seeing on the scales, but I don't feel like I look any thinner. grr. Keep hoping that I'll wake up one morning looking like a ballerina or something- think I need to get working!
  • Hey Feathers!

    I'm up a bit from yesterday's satisfactory/awesome weigh-in. I managed to slice myself good with a knife cutting an avocado and my mystery pains in my hip flexors and lower back/legs are still there - at least I can still bench, heh. Double short workout gym day, 25 minutes in the AM and half an hour in the PM. I went over to friends' place for board games and brought Dinosaur BBQ takeout (chicken, ribs, BBQ brisket with sides of mac and cheese, BBQ fried rice and salad lol) and had moderate portions of that which is kind of no small feat considering it's some of my very favorite food locally. We got the big family size sampler (serves up to 7 supposedly) and the four of us polished it all off.

    When I got home after 11 PM however it was ice cream o'clock and I stood there digging through for peanut butter cups for so long, my BF called over from the other room "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?" -______-

    I have to buy him a new Xbox controller because I pulled a "tantruming toddler" move the other night while we were playing UFC Undisputed 3 and threw it on the ground in frustration. We have definitely gotten $8 worth out of that game already!

    Hope everyone has a good rest of the week!

    Leaves Congratulations on the new low! That's super exciting to see! It takes a long time for your brain to catch up with what your body looks like...

    ange82much Your username still cracks me up - sorry for all the food pr0n photos, I figure there's no point talking about all the disgusting things I eat unless I provide visual evidence! I'm jealous of your running trail right by work - there are a couple nice places to run outside near my work but getting to them involves a short drive. 9/10 times I'm too lazy to bother!

    Turbo Nice whoosh! Your WI are very consistent, seems you're doing maintenance really perfectly!

    olehcat I burn out and overeat on weekends too - have been doing so ever since I decided to try and drop a couple lbs for a music festival (lol I'm heavier than before I started that!) - which reminds me of the patterns that ultimately got me into the habit of "binge eating until really sick" - I never ever want to return to that. I think calorie counting would push you further into "inner toddler" mode personally since it would impose more rules on your way of eating which already feels a bit restrictive.

    novangel Good luck fighting through PMS fatigue! I can't get out of bed and I just sit staring at things all day and night - think I got it, too.

    Alex How was your date with Martin Freeman?! I hope that guy from the party realizes that "negging" women only works on (a) stupid women or (b) women with really low self-esteem!

    PacNW Would you recommend Ideal Protein as a short-term fix? I'm getting sort of desperate to feel less fluffy for this festival, heh...
  • novangel: Hope you're feeling better...less "PMS-y" (is that a word?)

    ange: Are you taking measurements at least every couple of weeks? If you've been on plan, but aren't dropping pounds, you may still be losing inches, particularly if you're exercising and conserving/building lean mass. I'm actually "allowed" one "cheat" meal a week, but unless I use it Sunday night so that I start fresh on Monday, I tend to fall off the wagon for the remainder of the weekend.

    olehcat: +1 on the McDonald's fries...the only thing I truly crave from Mickey D's. I have to tell my inner toddler, you can have "blank" tomorrow, or next week, just as long as it's not just "you can't have it."

    alexis: You're right about the exercise helping. I can maintain and pretty much eat "what I want" if I'm running regularly, but it just doesn't work for active weight loss. It is just not possible to out-train a bad diet.

    leaves: I'm down just a teeny bit. I'll take it since I had a run in with Haagen Dazs this weekend...and the pint container lost. LOL at your ballerina comment. On a more serious note, I have this picture in my head of what I'm going to look like at goal. I think one of my biggest fears is that I'll reach goal and I won't acheive that look due to my body type. I hope I'll be happy with what I have accomplished and not be so disappointed that I say "f-it. I can't look the way I want anyway, I might as well eat everything that I want to."

    krampus: Keep the food pr0n coming! I love, love Dinosaur BBQ. I lived just outside of Syracuse about 15 years ago...haven't had it since then.

    OK, so I'm frustrated by this whole "goal clothing" thing. I used to think it would be really cool to have a piece/pieces of goal/mini-goal clothing to measure my progress in a concrete way (ie now I can fit into the clothes). I thought the only flaw in this plan would be that if I didn't lose the weight, I'd have a bunch of clothes that were too small for me. What I didn't count on was that even if the clothes fit me/are my size, they may still look like crap on me, because they just aren't cut right for my body. I'm not sure why I thought that I could expect a pair of jeans bought off the shelf based on size alone would be any more flattering two sizes smaller than they were at my current size. Sometimes I feel "not so smart".
  • Alexis : soooooooooooooo, how was the date? And yes, crêpes cake is awesome! It was the first one I was doing and we LOVED it. It is a great change from a usual cake-y texture and because it is pancake, it is not overly sweet. It was a basic one, with a vanilla pastry cream but I'll definitely do it again soon and I have tons of ideas to pimp it up, like putting together a Chai tea spices pastry cream or adding berries puree to make a fruity one for the summer! ... okay, I get easily excited when talking about baking LOL

    BlueIsis : I laughed at your "You don't train cats, you push them off counters." : THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. And I love running in negative splits, I get such an adrenaline rush/runner high knowing that I killed the second part of my run.

    novangel :
    Hope your surviving the PSM fatigue! Working out while you're PMS-ing suuuuck

    ange : 6.1km is an awesome distance! Way to go!! Good job on being on plan (and beware of the snakes! )

    Yes, the Spartan Sprint is a 5k race including about 15 obstacles to go through And there is more likely to have mud LOL! I'm a bit nervous, I'm okay with the distance, but I'm so not a muscular girl, the obstacles thing is scary. And Donzo is pretty much ''done'' with a weird slang thing Ahaha!

    olehcat : LOL destroying curtains is sure a nice way for your cat to get your attention Mine does not have claws anymore, but when he still got them, he was using them on EVRYTHING. Like ''Mmm, I want to go on the coach, but why jump on it when I can CLIMB IT WITH ALL MY CLAWS OUT''. ... At least cat are entertaining :P Concerning calories counting, I was known in the past to freak out when we were eating somewhere and I was not able to know how many calories there was in this or that... I had to work hard on that part, about letting go in certain situations.

    Leaves : As I was saying to Ange, the Spartan race is a obstacles The one we are doing is a 5k with about 15 obstacles to go through. I'm a terrified and I am NOT wearing a toga thing BWHAHAAH (but it would be so fun though). There is video on their website, if you google Spartan Race Congrats on the new low!!

    Krampus : Aww I hope all the places hurting on your body will get better soon! I laughed out loud at your boyfriend reaction when you were ice cream snacking LOL HUUUUUGH, I get so mad when playing video games with the boyfriend, we mostly play Mario Kart and he gets a truckloak of F words if he dare hit me with a freaking turtle shell or banana.

    ***

    Hi! Still 132.8 this morning ; happy about it! I am eating out with a friend I haven't seen in forever tonight, lots of catching up to do. The food where we are going seems DELICIOUS and it a ''bring your own wine'' so I'm not expecting to still be 132.8 tomorrow morning :P

    I ran 5k this morning, speeding up by the end of it because I was afraid it would start raining. Humidity was sky high at 95%, seriously I could have used some Gillyweed or something. I'm a bit sore, luckily I only have another run planned tomorrow and I'll be able to enjoy my rest day Saturday.

    Our teams is on the edge of being eliminated in the NHL playoffs, my boyfriend is the typical guy who get guy and moody when his team lose. Fun time ahead tonight if they do, I'm happy to go out :P (to be fair with him, the last game they lost was full of horrible referees call in favor of the other team). I'm so ready for hockey to be over though, so we can go outside and take walk instead of watching hockey all the tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime LOL

    Have a good day ladies!
  • Hello feathers!
    Back with personals!!!
    A busy (but kind of not) day today... Off to evening cult (where aforementioned "awkwardly inappropriate" guy doth preside) *puts on yoga face* My goal is to handle the interaction with ease and grace.
  • Good morning, all!

    Well, I've been sick -- super sick. Almost flu-like, but not quite because I didn't have a fever. Lots of muscle aches, sore throat, headache, nose running like crazy, weakness, etc. I stayed home from work yesterday, and I wish I could stay home today, too, but I can't let my teammates down (we're testing) and so I'll see if I can at least last out the morning. No wonder I felt weak doing a 2 mile walk the other day!!

    The upside is that I've had almost no appetite, and I weighed in at 145.0 this morning, lol. All I ate yesterday was chicken/mushroom soup a few times and a few dates and strawberries, half an avocado, and two small chicken sausages.

    As for the giving myself a "choice" thing, seems to be working! Like I'll say to myself, wow, I'd love to have that chocolate cupcake! And then I'll say to myself, "Okay, but why don't we just try eating strawberries instead?" And sometimes the diversion works. I know there will be times when it doesn't work, and that's okay, too. I just want to get healthier about this! I don't want to obsess about food or return to a semi-binging pattern.

    @Alex - wise words! My similar phrase is "don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough." *nods*

    @Ange - yeah, I'll be moving to a new apartment in my same city! Also, I'm a literacy teacher who is also a grad student currently, so my summer will be WAY lighter in schedule than the past few months, so am looking forward to getting to spend more time on exercise and long walks again!

    @Leaves - yeah, that's exactly it -- I feel like on the weekends that I've worked hard all week and I deserve to get to be looser on the eating on the weekend, *sigh* but the only way that really works is if I am REALLY strict during the week. That has worked for me in the past before, like if I seriously count during the week hardcore, like 1200 calories a day six days a week and eat very healthy but give myself a "cheat day" on one weekend day, I lose weight consistently AND there's no deprivation! That's something I should consider returning to, too.

    @krampus - ouchie (on cutting yourself!) I hate that! And you're right. Sometimes when I count calories I do start sliding into a restrict-binge pattern. The closest I came to that was last spring just before my divorce became to be, and that scared the crap out of me. I vowed I would never eat mindlessly like that again. I have never in my life eating past dinner, and I had gotten into a pattern of ordering TAKE OUT food AFTER I had already had dinner just because I wanted to taste something different -- it was scary for me.

    @Blueisis - yep, telling the inner toddler you can have it later often works for me, too! Also I've been too chicken to try that goal clothing thing, lol. I am afraid for the same reasons. I did do that once a few summers ago when I managed to lose a few pounds and went from 139 down to 133. I had some size 4 pants in the same style as a bunch of size 6 pants in the same style I had that fit, and at some magical point, I fit into the size 4s and I felt SUPER awesome about it.

    @Turbo - my cat knows how to push my buttons, too! lol, it's so funny, he looks right at me and knocks something off a table because he knows he'll get my attention. Then he'll lead me to the kitchen to be fed.
  • Morning, Feathers.

    Not surviving TOM too well, it's really bad today (sorry TMI) and when it's like this, no can do. I've been eating good though...well except Panda Express the other day. Doesn't help when it's also cold and dreary out IN MAY. Of course when I worked Sunday through Wed it was 75 degrees and gorgeous and I'm sure come Sunday it will be picture perfect again. I hate that!

    So far the new job is going well, the money aspect is a little scary but it's only been one week. In the salon industry I know there are good and bad weeks, I just hope it only gets better from here. Also, the owner told me if I work out well she will give me a 5th day to work so I can be more full-time. Right now I'm only about $50-100 away from my starting goal and I'm sure adding another day will get me there.

    Only thing is learning the darn register! I feel so stupid with that thing! I mean I could take a CT scan at my previous job but now I am intimidated by a salon cash register? I still have the new job jitters, hopefully I settle in soon.

    I bought these pants for work and I am in love with them!! So comfy and cute. I wear with black shirt/shoes...not flats though. I don't care that I'm almost 39, I rock these pants well.

    Yep. There is an upside to viruses. Hope you feel better soon.
  • AHH! Just got a call from the salon owner, I get to pick up Fridays after next week!
  • Turbo ~ Lookit you, getting all fancy with the crepe creme recipe. AND holding steady weight wise, even after an indulgence. I have said it before and I will say it again: you're my inspiraaaaation, girl.

    Ange82much ~ Your username!!! hahaha!!! just said it out loud after reading Krampus's mention... I just thought 82 was a significant number in your life... Good work with the "apple" test. I've heard that an apple and a glass of water is usually good strategy for determining the difference between a craving and real hunger.

    Leaves ~ Sending strength for that essay writing! lol @ your ballerina comment. I, too, have that dream... Have you ever seen the Bravo TV show 'Shahs of Sunset'? One of the characters on it was like "every night I pray to God and say 'please let me wake up rail thin...'", which is what I say, but then I go eat four donuts... Ummm... yeah...

    krampus ~ oh, that darn "ice cream o'clock"... I have a weakness for my oft mentioned Haagen Daaz. And I lol'd at your "tantruming toddler". Sometimes you just get carried away. And I don't think this "neg" guy does it on purpose... I think he just really doesn't know how else to relate to people.

    Oleh ~ Sorry for your sick! (but isn't weight loss just a sneaky happy side effect...) Hope you're feeling better now! And yes, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is a great motto...

    BlueIsis ~ I like your misdirection/distraction strategy... Studies have shown that a "craving" usually lasts no longer than 20 minutes. And I'm completely in favor of "goal clothes", although my "goal file" tends to take on a life of its own...

    Nova ~ The new pants are stylin', girl! First weeks are always tough, but it sounds like the new job is going well on the whole...? Good that they'll give you the extra day. What was your previous job? (Did you say something about med tech?-- CT scan?)

    ~~~
    SO I guess the date on TUE went really well!!! We're hanging out again tomorrow (movie+dinner, I think)

    Ran into a spot of trouble with text messages. He's SUPER ummm... expressive? And very... effusive... when it comes to flattery. My gut reaction was *eye roll* ewwwwww... but then I started thinking "Don't be critical. Just let him say what he wants to say." (If anyone remembers my thread around the holidays about compliments...) I think it's sweet that he lets me know that he likes me... but then I felt like it was getting a bit... excessive? And I didn't know how to communicate that. My solution was to just stop texting him for awhile and apparently he was VERY concerned that I was about to break it off...

    So I called him last night and we talked it out... And now he's taken the liberty of scheduling a chat time with me tonight, too. And that's one thing that I REALLY like... he takes the lead. If I can remember to get out of the way enough to let him.

    Had a bit of a moment with my friend "food" last night. Ate spinach, hard boiled eggs, dates, figs, yogurt, cottage cheese, and tortilla chips. Didn't need any of it and could have just gone to bed, but wanted the comfort and heft. Could have been better, could have been worse. I was completely aware of what I was doing and knew that I'd be up on the scale the next day... Am also under *TOM* watch, so that's a factor too.

    Hold on through the weekend, feathers!
  • I am totally PMSing and shoveled a bunch of milk chocolate, crackers with hummus, and peanut butter cup ice cream into my face after dinner (a big bread roll, split pea soup, 6 oz buttered salmon with rice and veggies at a diner). Woke up feeling disgusting and bloated, went for a treadmill run (2.5 mi in 21:30), weighed in at 124.0. Huh?????????? My roommate is sad because things ended with her and dude she was seeing who happens to be BF's best friend (D'OH) and we all hang out with each other several days a week. Awkward times ahead, I hope they can move past this.

    BF and I are redeeming a gift card to a really cool restaurant I won last year in a blog contest tonight. It was for mom and me but she is not interested in Indonesian fusion cooking - too adventurous for her palate. The menu is here - what would you get? I'm thinking scallops as an app and the prawns for the main! Photos reveal the portions are not "waddle out and throw up in the parking lot" levels of filling so I think app + main will be good. Oh and dessert too, cause you know.

    That music festival is in 2 weeks. 2 weeks! I always feel like I should be more excited than I am. Still need to figure out what to wear. Less is more but I have not been successful at efforts to have a less jiggly midsection...

    Alex Of all the moments you could have had with YFF (your friend "food") I think that's actually a very well balanced array of things to eat. I'm glad you sorted things out with dude, being straight forward and taking care of business right as it is happening instead of stewing quietly and boiling over is much much healthier, and you actually learn from it. Excessive/overattentive compliments are pretty unattractive - I hope you'll have an awesome date tomorrow night! Eee!

    novangel Awesome news regarding picking up Fridays at the salon! Registers these days are SO COMPLICATED - do they use a touchscreen? Operating a register is one of those things people think is easy but really you need to know all the ins and outs of how they work. It's frustrating when people look at you like you're a moron for being new at using XYZ register. Your new pants are HOT - I love that style!!! Also mmmmmmmmmmmmm Panda Express. I'm jealous!

    olehcat Oh nooooo heal up and get better ASAP! I got down to 121.8 when I had a bad cold earlier this year. Glad you are conscious of the binge-restrict pendulum and aren't going down that road again - it sucks so much just sitting there surrounded by wrappers wondering why you just did all that.

    Turbo How did your team do (I don't follow hockey at all I'm sorry if that's really obvious)? I wish we had apportez-votre-vin places here. Where did you end up going and what did you eat?! Also, remember when you thought you wouldn't be able to return to your old ability level of running?! You're doing great!

    BlueIsis You know, the biggest revelation a person can have is putting on a pair of pants and thinking "These pants are too small" or "These pants don't look good on my shape" instead of "I'm too fat" or "I'm the wrong shape for these pants." Shopping for jeans and pants is a huge task with a probably 1:1000 success rate - I always go for stretchy ones for that reason :\ Dino was amaaaazing as always but the head chef here recently died so we'll see...

    Hope everyone's weekends are AWESOME!
  • olehcat : Arggggh, I hope you're gonna be better soon!! I love your strategy of giving yourself a choice, when you are face with triggering food. It is a nice way to trick your mind that might want to go all rebel and be ''Oh yeah, you are forbidding me to have that cupcake? We'll see about that''. But for now, get some rest and get better!

    novangel : You were working with CT scan at your previous job? Such a good news that you now have Fridays! OH YEAH! What were you doing? And I love the pants by the way, especially the colors!!

    Alexis : Seriously, I don't diserve that words like that! Everyday of this maintenance thing is still a work in progress, and my half marathon training is probably for a lot in that too. It is cool that Hans Solo (I like to switch up his nickname :P) is effusive, not many guys are that way, but I do agree with you, facing a situation like that I would probably eye-rolled a lot too LOL The guy seems to be quite into you, it is cute!!

    krampus : God, well, good job for your WI after the food fest!! That is so sad about your roommate and your friend. I was chatting about something like that the other day with my boyfriend, because we were all friend with the same bunch of people before starting dating and we were saying how awkward it'd be to break up and decide ''who keeps the friends'' :P I am DROOOOLING in front of the menu you posted. The pork belly in the appetizer looks amazing. I'm kinda happy it's you who have to make a choice, I'd cry of indecision in the middle of the resto LOL

    The hockey team lost last night so their season is officially over. They seriously got tons of players injured since 14 days, it was unlikely they would make it much farther.

    ***

    Hi women! I really feel like a whiny b*tch, everytimes I'm like ''omg I'm going out tonight, I'm so expecting to be up tomorrow'', something goes up with my body and BAM! I was down morning. Go figure.

    Last night with my friend was super nice, we had a lot of catching up to do. We went up to a place I've never been but where the boyfriends eats with his work people when they have something to celebrate... so, when I asked about the place before we went there, you know with him going there more often, I would have expected the guy to tell me the room furnitures were ALL ABOUT MEDIEVAL/CASTLE STUFF, with the hostess dressed in old dresses. It was like walking in Pouddlard or something My friend and I walked in we were both really Huh WTF bwahaha. The food was awesome though, we took a 4 services thing designed for ''girls night out'', each service being 3 tiny portions, so we did not end up bloated or feeling aweful after overeating. The food was amazing, there was a beef tartar, an lobster guacamole, goat cheese and tomatoes salad and tons of other stuff. This probably explain a bit part of not being up this morning.

    I'm kinda almost jealous of all of you PMS-ing and everything, TOM has been a no-show for almost 2 months now. My friend suggested me to call a place a Pregnancy/Family Planning Clinic she knew about, to at least confirm my 2 negative pregnancy test. I called this morning and a really mean woman told me she does not have free spot for appointment for the next 3 months. For a clinic that is supposed to deal with pregnancy emergencies and stuff, WTH is that! She told me to call back next week, I MIGHT get a spot with another doctor coming in. Arrrrrgh, lame situationnnn. Sorry, just needed to vent a little!

    Did my 6k training this morning, and tomorrow will be a great day of doing naaawthing. I'm looking forward to it!

    Have a good weekend Feathers!
