      Ok, so my boy came home from his exam - cool as a cucumber and quite relaxed, said it went ok and was pretty cheerful about everything. All is well. Either he'll pass or he won't, but life will continue. Thanks for talking me down.

      This is great to hear!

      I have a rant today:

      I am having a "I hate diabetes' day.....not that I ever love it, but today it is really upsetting me.

      This morning I slept in, it was the first day I did not have to get up and make lunch for my son. I came online for a bit and then noticed it was getting late and I had to get to my PT appt. So, I just had some toast for breakfast, LIKE A NORMAL PERSON MIGHT. I got into the shower,, and was so dizzy I nearly fell over. I felt sick for a long while. When I got to the office, I check my blood sugar and it is literally three times what it should be.

      Why? Not because I did not take my shot or because I ate too much sugar....but because I did not have enough protein to slow the speed of the carbs in the rye toast (which has a lower GI level, which is why I eat it instead of my beloved "Italian" bread).

      I have been sick all day because of that one mistake. It is after 6pm and I have not even been able to eat anything yet and I never made it to the gym. Even though my blood sugar is normal now, the rush high and crash low has made me tired and sick. I have a headache and just want to go to bed....

      But, I must go put in the laundry now, and clean the kitchen, and deliver packages for our meeting next week.....UGH

      Oh, that's so awful you were feeling sick for so long. I hope you're feeling much better now!

      Well I live in Canada where we all live in igloos and ride polar bears to work and school, so there! LOL

      Some people are so, so dumb......

      People tend to assume that since I live in NY, that I live in NYC. Um, no. It's a pretty big state.

      I just discovered how much I adore Burberry perfume. I'd love to see your sunglasses. Post a picture?

      Oh, me too! Smells so good. I usually wear Angel, but Burberry is my next fragrance purchase for sure. I love perfume!

      And I would also like to see the sunglasses. LOL

      ... kind of funny though. My sister was given some similar comics one Halloween saying that Halloween was evil because it was Satan's birthday. It was hysterical. "Happy birthday Satan" is now our holiday greeting.

      HA! I'm so doing this next Halloween.

      Haha. I do think my name is a bit misleading, but I always thought people thought I was in the Southern states.

      I thought this before I found out you were English!

      This morning is my kids' last morning of school... I'm not too happy about it. Less stressed than last year though... but still. I'm sorely going to miss my alone time. I'm not working out this morning so I can enjoy it (still got to run to the store though) but I'll take the kids to the gym this afternoon to keep them busy. I foresee a lot of time spent on the treadmill in the next 3 months.

      I confess that I haven't touched my weights for 3 days and I really don't want to...

      That's alright, it doesn't offend me! :)

      It's called an abaya, and most of them don't cover the head or face--They're basically just black dresses. I wear one myself. The headscarf and niqab (face covering) are all separate pieces. There is one that has a head covering attached as well, but these are mostly worn by older ladies, as it's just an older style.

      That said, I wear the abaya and headscarf. I don't find it hot, personally--I actually find it cooler than when I wear "regular" clothing like skirts and blouses because the abaya tends to be very lightweight. It's also because I've been covering for a very long time--If I didn't cover, I'd probably feel hotter due to the sun burning my skin!

      My sister wears a niqab, and according to her, it did feel very hot in the first week, but she says it doesn't feel like that anymore now that she's used to it.

      Just an add-on: The abaya isn't a must, Islamically. Women are encouraged not to wear very bright colors for the purpose of attracting men (yes, men have a rule that involves not attracting women--it isn't a sexist rule), but you're allowed to wear whatever color you like, as long as you're covered properly.

      I prefer the abaya in Saudi Arabia because everyone wears it (I've seen like... two people so far that didn't... Even the non-Muslims wear it!) and I just don't want to stand out. In Oman, I often wear regular colored dresses, skirts, blouses, etc. Unless I'm lazy. Because the abaya is really easy to just throw on and be done. ;)

      Can I ask some follow ups? You say your sister wears a niqab; was that something she decided to do as an adult? And how did she come to that decision? And are you wearing your regular clothes under the abaya? Or is it like a "dress".

      Thanks for educating me! :)

      I just had the BEST NSV so far! Doing my lunch time weight training and I was sharing the squat rack with a personal trainer. So far I can squat 50Kg and he asked me if I'm going any higher to which I replied "No, I thought I would stay at 50Kg and check my form is ok and I'm comfortable before I go higher." To which he said "Pffft your form is better than most men in this gym!" I was like :open_mouth:Really?! Made my day! :lol:

      I just had to share it with you all, because that has actually made the lack of movement on the scales completely worth it. :smile:

      I am purposefully gaining weight to pack on some quality muscle but deathly afraid at the same time as I'm doing it (gaining weight on purpose..are you insane? - says my subconscious). But I know I have to, since being 7.8% competition-ready body fat is not healthy and the fact that I'm not there anymore is GOOD. But post competition I had the biggest binge of my life, I don't even know how much cereal, burger, brownie, jerky, candy, ice cream I've eaten. I looked like I was about to give birth to triplets smh lol and I felt like complete death. Ugh, definitely lesson learned for the future.

      Really? I can. Are you on an older phone?

      I have the Galaxy S6 and can't see the images either. Almost caught up! I've been behind for days! Glad it's Friday since the thread ramps up Friday and then slows down on the weekend. I also have to catch myself before quoting one of you to friends IRL. Although, my husband knows about the thread and how involved I am. When we first started I would explain what thread I was talking about...even though it's the only one I've ever followed. Now I just say "The Thread", he laughs and I update him.

      Also, wanted to say kudos to everyone that defended the thread a couple nights ago. Everyone handled it so well, and explained instead of getting angry. There is one poster that jumped on, 20+K posts, and I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach because I was so afraid that things were going to turn nasty. Was very glad that it didn't get nasty, and I didn't chime in because I knew I was way behind. Although if this thing does implode then, as @Tubbs216 put it, to the bat cave!!!

      confession (i don't mind being judged, though. in fact, i welcome any input)

      in short:
      i'm beginning to look down on fat people.

      in long:
      although, even after losing ~10 kilogram (~22 pounds), i'm still overweight myself ... but i feel so much fitter now and i don't doubt that i can reach my goal anymore. so in my mind i'm practically already thin.

      judging other fat people while being one of them always felt kinda ok - i was never vocal about it anyway - but now that i'm fulfilling my long kept dream of getting in shape i can see how i judge being overweight more and more as being just lazy. not proud of it but that is what i realized about myself.

      ... maybe this is comparable to what many smokers told me: that the worst and most proselytizing people aren't non-smokers but past-smokers.

      I kind of understand what you mean, except when I hit a plateau and all of a sudden it became really difficult, and then I had all the empathy in the world for those who're bigger than me. I'm glad you've not hit any kinks in the road yet (I'm assuming from your post) but if you do, I bet it'll change your mind set. Not judging, I was similar at first!

      Hah not very at the moment! It depends. It can vary but if it gets above about 23-25 celcius we view it as a heat wave and start panicking. It's not gotten above about 16 celcius where I live though, and that's below average even for us.

      Confession:

      I ate a load of cheese flavoured Doritos and now I feel sick.

      The really dumb part is Doritos ALWAYS make me feel sick (along with lots of other flavoured crisps, I think I'm intolerant to one of those ingredients), yet I persist anyway. Thankfully this is the first time I've had Doritos in about 2 years. Now I remember why!

      The problem with owning too many shoes is you can never find the ones you want to wear among all the boxes. The good thing is when you find a pair you bought months ago but never wore, forgot about and then find again. And they are perfect. Total win.

      I believe I have mentioned both my shoe obsession and 'shopping in my closet' before. :)

      Put all your shoes in clear bins and get a label maker and put the size, brand, color, and style of shoe on the label and stick it to the box. That's what I do for everything but my boots and tennies. I love my label maker!

      OMG that sounds interesting!

      It is pretty awesome.

      I get a Boboli whole wheat crust, the "sauce" is refried black beans with salsa mixed in, the meat is Jennie-o Taco seasoned turkey, and then top it with 2% mexican blend cheese, green onions, tomatoes, bell peppers & jalapenos.

      Once it's done, I top each slice with a tsp of guac & nonfat plain greek yogurt (instead of sour cream.)

      Works out to about 300 cals a slice (1/8 pizza), but it's worth it!

      Thanks for educating me! :)

      Yes, she decided to start wearing it two years ago. Nobody else in our family wears it and she's unmarried, so nobody influenced her in that decision--in Islam there are some scholars (I refuse to count the Sheikh Google people...) who believe the niqab is obligatory, and others who believe it is simply recommended based on evidence from the Qur'an and hadith. After doing some studying, my sister chose to go with the scholars who believe it's obligatory, and began covering her face from then on.

      You do have to wear clothing under an abaya--it's basically a cover, but the material is too thin to wear with nothing but underwear underneath, for example. I usually wear jeans and a tank top underneath it--since we have to remain covered, it's best to have your legs covered in case the wind blows it up, for example. :) But I would wear the same under a dress, actually, although I would probably wear cotton pants underneath in that case.

      If I 'like' your post that you finished your food log, I have looked.....I would never like something I did not look at....cuz what if I was liking that you drink 18 beers a day and do not eat for three days straight?

      I now want to do this just to see who reacts. Ha!

      ETA: Logging that way, not actually doing it. I can't not eat for three hours (when awake). I'd never make it three days.

      I did that. i had to buy poptarts when i saw them because of this thread. I inhaled way too many and then threw the rest in a bin, just so I wouldn't eat them


      I bought fudge ones, but I bought the cheap market basket brand. To my surprise they tasted a lot better. They were moist and chewy and yum. I am now afraid to buy anymore because they are the same amount of calories. :)
