A lot of things happened besides being sick again


I felt like I was getting sick, so I posted a dieting while sick post on CalorieCount. It's a great site where I can track how much I eat. I felt my lungs and throat getting worse, so on Friday I stayed at home and now I'm home sick for the week. Still working from Wednesday though.

On Sunday I also had my period and the cramps just got worse and worse. Could hardly breathe, the slight feeling I had in my lungs intensified at the intense cramps and then just everything started coming out of me... you get the picture. So my mom called an ambulance and I got a shot. I guess it may be a bad sign if I'm not bothered by needles anymore. So I fell asleep after they left and in the morning I felt much better, but my stomach took such a beating that I couldn't eat anything for 2 days, just crackers. Have you seen the calories on those??? Though I only ate 1 box a day, so that would be around 1300kcal. I'm starting to eat normally, but yesterday I was so full of breakfast that I had a bit of coffee and a small cake-like thing in the afternoon and that's it. I only got hungry in the evening, when I just didn't want to eat and went to bed. I think I must have had about 800kcal tops, but I had been still in bed all day. Ate another of those cakes for breakfast to go with my coffee and at noon I still wasn't hungry. Though luckily, I did lose some weight, about 1kg this week. So now I'm 68,5kg. Later I did eat some soup and then more crackers. I still can't think of eating too much heavy stuff and I feel like I'm a bit afraid of eating regular foods.

I also posted a topic on alternating my calorie intake. Apparently, it actually has a name, called Zig-Zag Dieting. People seem to agree on that it works because you keep your body guessing how much it's going to get, so I'm going to keep it up. What I need to watch is to have my total calorie amount a week total to my target. Let's see now. That's 7x1300=9100kcal. So that is my weekly calorie target. I'm not counting this week though, I just can't, being sick and all. Still watching my intake though, just not counting.

I have a writing project. I saw a picture on DeviantArt. I mentioned writing a story based on it to the artist and he loved the idea, so now I'm writing it. I'm going to post it on my DeviantArt account, since the picture is there. http://zeldaofarel.deviantart.com/ I hope he's going to like it! I'm planing on finishing it over the weekend. I may even take on other projects like this in the future.

I also saw this topic on roommates on CalorieCount and it reminded me of my old roommate. He hasn't updated his own blog since April. Not that I'm all that interested, just curious.

I may have a DATE this Monday! Yeah, ME! A DATE! We've been emailing and chatting and he seems really nice, a lot like me. He doesn't look bad either. I only saw a few pictures and it's so hard to tell based on that, so I'm not going to comment on his looks until I saw him face to face.

At the end of October it's my high school reunion. When I first heard about it at the start of the summer, I was terrified. Now, it looks like things are actually looking up. By then I'm going to fit into a dress I bought last year, I may have a boyfriend, and I have pictures from a wonderful vacation. And I have a good job. I may be a success!

I wrote a big blog post about losing weight, but not only that happened this year. January I left my position at Avaya. It was weird, because I've never been fired before. Though they took me back as a contractor, it's still an unstable position, though what position is really stable? However, it also meant losing some benefits, and that I would never get a raise in the new position. Not that I ever got a significant raise during my time at the company, or since working really, there was still hope though. Not to talk about bonuses. Who gets bonuses in this day and age anyway? Or at least an amount that actually matters? So I actually spent most of January at home. I had a bit of an accident, and dropped an old TV stand on my right foot. I think I bruised the bone, though I never went to a doctor. I had a hard time standing on it for a while, and couldn't wear heels. February Started off well. I held my first party in my new home. I cooked, and baked cooki...

January I finished my event planning course. There was first a sort of practice oral test, then a real one. I got a 5 for my real one, so now I have a paper that says I can plan events. I don't know if I'll ever use it, but you never know. The practice test was funny, because there wasn't anyone in the room after we got our question and could work on it. I didn't need my papers, however, because it was about analysing a source. For the real test I really wanted the first question. I used to be very good at always pulling the number that I wanted, and I relied on that. As so it happens, I did it again! I got home pretty early, and in the afternoon got a call from RTL Klub TV station, that I was selected for a small part in "Budapest Day and Night". I got a contract and everything, and they were paying me some money for every worked day. Not a lot, but actually more than my salary. The first shooting was in January. The filming went okay, though I co...
