The failure of calories in, calories out?


Originally on CalorieCount:

Okay, so over the weekend, when I ate a lot, I lost 1kg. Great. Now I'm back on my 1000kcal a day regime, okay, maybe a tiny bit over by like 30kcal, but anyway, I'm back to eating strict. I even got out the scales and measure everything exactly now, where before I would just measure with my eyes. I gain 3dkg a day. What?

Isn't loosing weight supposed to be about calories in, calories out? I'm supposed to burn almost 1500kcal a day just by existing. Then I added what I normally move about in a day and that's an extra 200-300kcal if I don't go exercising. I also belly dance on some days, which is an extra 447kcal / class. So, I'm supposed to have a calorie deficit of about 700-1100kcal a day on weekdays! So why am I gaining? And I only eat 3 pieces of small cookies a day, 32kcal each, no other sugar added. Otherwise I'm eating vegetables, dairy and whole grains. So what the heck??? I should be shedding pounds at alarming rate, not gaining.

Online dating, Reading, Scotland

Still hate online dating. No replies to anything I send out. There were two guys who sent messages to me. One gave me a bad feeling when looking at his picture. I usually have good gut instinct, so I staid away from that one. The second one was in Győr, which is far from Budapest. I would not like to date someone who doesn't live in the area, so I gave that a pass too. Thus, no luck. I'm frustrated now and feel like just not bothering with the whole thing anymore. I read the Sookie Stackhouse novels. All 10 of them. I think/hope that there are going to be more. It was really great. The books are not overly long or drawn out. Action all the way. Really exciting. It has romance and mystery as well. Eric is my favourite. In the TV series the actor who plays him is gorgeous. He was naked from behind in the season premiere and my fantasies stared him ever since. Seriously, everyone should see that. Tall, blond, muscular, ... drool. Anyway, they are really fun, easy-to-read vam...

Belly Dancing Event, Old Pics and ARASHI

Image
Originally on DeviantArt: Tomorrow I'm going to a belly dancing event and plan on taking lots of pictures. The only problem is that I forgot the connecting cable to the computer at my mom's, so I won't be able to upload anything until I get it.  However, I als have a DVD with my old pictures. I'll go through them to see if I have anything. Today the weather here is really bad. We have some snow, but it's the small ice-like kind and that is not as nice as the fluffy flakes. So when I was going to work, I knew I had to brighten myself up with something. The best solution for that is to listen to some ARASHI. That's a Japanese boy band. So they have this song called "LIFE". Whenever I listen to it, I can see the sun shining through my mental eyes. Maybe I'll make sort of a nature video with lots of sunshine some day for it.

Vienna, belly dancing festival and other things

Image
It's been a while since I've written a post here. A lot of things happened. Things with my boyfriend are going well. We do try to see each other as many times as possible. Though he does go home every weekend, which makes meeting on a Saturday hard, but at least I have the weekends to play. Maybe we can work out a better schedule from January. We went to Vienna on December 4th though. It was cool as I hadn't been there for about 20 years. We did have a good time and he loved it. It was his first time abroad. He can understand now when I talk about how hard it is to come back to Hungary. You just don't want to. I guess we do have to though. One thing we did agree on was that next time we travel, we do it in warmer weather. It was really cold. Freezing even. On the train there we didn't have a place ticket, which we will need to get next time. I ended up sitting on the floor and he stood. I did tell him to sit down on the ground with me. On...
