I would say that is perfectly okay and normal. I never believed the women that 'constantly glow' and 'feel so happy and healthy' during their whole pregnancy. Everyone that I trust to really be honest to me had bad times (many quite a lot of them) and emotional and physical problems. Even my mum with me. I was a horrible…

Awesome name! It just rolls off the tongue in the right way. :) I woke up from bad dreams with a headache, so I am somewhat rethinking the week... gym will be moved to tomorrow and friday, because even if it gets better I don't feel like hauling the gym bag to work today.

Just for tomorrow: 1) Log food 2) Stay hydrated 3) Read more papers (it helps me go forward) 4) Write at least a little on the thesis 5) Organize yourself at work

We need sunlight to process the pre-vitamins, basically. I got a prescription of vitamin D last winter because I was feeling extremely tired all day, also depressed and generally slow and down. Honestly, I don't think it helped that much. I ended up taking a general multivitamin additionally and just working on my mental…

Hi everyone, so sorry I disappeared for so long... I came back from visiting bf last week and promised myself everyday to get back onto logging or at least on here. But then work got crazy and I also was fighting a cold (successfully, three days of sore throat and gone). During the weekend I was just so lazy and somehow I…

Happy thought: Tomorrow this time I am in a plane to my bf. Sad thought: My parents haven't messaged with me since Sunday. There was no fight, I just feel my mum dislikes my bf and is therefor mad that I am 'losing' time visiting him. Whatever. I am focusing on the happy thoughts. JF tomorrow: 1) Go through bag again, pull…

Disclaimer: I work with/for a bunch of scientists studying the microbiome of the gut. So to speak, I am in the "scientific peer group" of this topic. Some of them are immunologists, others nutritionists (the type that studied at university, not took some weekend course), many are different types of medical doctors or…

One more day working, then 11 days "more or less off". I think my mum is still mad that I am doing this, usually she wouldn't go two days without messaging me. So honestly, I planned to call before leaving tomorrow, but I can't take the negativity. More me-time in the evening. 1) Stay hydrated 2) Stay focused at work 3)…

quiet

We definitely have multiple brands that have or at least used to have cheese and onion flavoured crisps in Germany... I am slowly wondering if it's somewhat of a German thing in the end?! We had Pringles doing it, Lays (but you don't get them much around where I live), Crunchips and even some of the store brands the last…

No, I meant Germany has them. I could ask my cousin if he has seen those in Canada. I did not buy any chips/crisps when I visited him, so I did not check.

I do have facebook. I just do not use it. And then I forget about it totally. Ah, well. I could probably deactivate it, but keep it in case someone from long ago tries to find me for some reason.

But maybe trying to change all of these things at once is going to overwhelm you in the longer run. I would suggest to focus on parts of it, then add other things when the first changes have become normality. Like, focus on treating your depression and planning meals (but for maintenance of weight) now. When that is…

Oh, I wasn't posting plans, just ticking of yesterdays plans. Uhm. Now half of the day is kind of gone already. 1) Stay hydrated 2) Have Me-time in the evening (Paint fingernails, shower, cook nice dinner, relax, look forward to seeing bf soon) 3) Don't worry I decided to not care about looking for a job until next year. I…

1) I do not always log accurately. I try to portion off food for work, I guesstimate if I eat out. I just do not want to restrict myself too much. I also know what my favourite snack weights per "portion", so I just eat it and calculate (it is literally 9-10 g per peach gummy treat, I kept weighing them out for a long…

Awesome! And, without wanting to sound creepy at all - you look like a very likable guy, with and without the weight. :-)

Today work starts awfully early... I don't know what to do. I feel like I get nowhere at work currently. There was one week after I was sick that was really productive, but now I am back in this pit of 'work all day, have no reasonable result'. And the term is starting, so from today teaching will be on the plate again. I…

To be very honest, it starts feeling a little weird to have some people post goals here, some people in the other thread and some in both. Especially the "both" bugs me. I don't want to multi-comment, multi-like or multi-awesome, but then I get confused on what has been said where. I know, I can just decide to use one or…

We have cheese and onion too. I used to love that flavour when I was younger, but not that much any more. I always thought it was an American flavour. I think I got into it when visiting the US in 1999. But maybe US is over it already and now we have it... :-P

@PrincesseAly23 So proud of you! Now on to all the victories to come, I am sure life has more in store for you. I am off to my half work week (I fly out to bf on Thursday). I kind of do not want to. But at least lunch is prepared, fruit snacks are available.

In this context... that was a little confusing at first. ;)

I just had it this morning... and it hurts if you sit on hard surfaces too much. Stupid anatomy.

I will check in now, as I have another ( :s ) headache day and it might get worse again. So, tomorrows plans: 1) Buy train ticket, finally 2) Stay focused at work 3) Stay hydrated

To be honest, I think if intuitive eating is done right it would set you up to eat maintenance calories. Your body would intuitively request what it needs to keep up the status quo. Which means the loss would be 0.

I am silent this weekend because I am fighting headaches... and I will be then next two because I will spend them closer to you, staying with my bf. And I will use every single minute of those. But usually I use this post to unwind in-between tasks. Or to avoid said tasks. Whatever. :-P I guess for many people weekend is…

The day is not over, but my headache is only getting worse and I guess I should keep away from the screen and I am not getting more done. Well. I did better than I expected around mid-day. Got most of the housework done in the times my head hurt less. Now it's time to go into wind down and push everything else to tomorrow.…

I guess we are posting plans here now? Okay. Plans for tomorrow: 1) Go grocery shopping 2) Do the laundry 3) Fresh sheets 4) Vacuum and clean kitchen/bathroom 5) Work at least a little. 6) But also relax

If so you were "losing" 0.4 lbs, as far as I understand. That is probably inside the error margin of any body weight scale.
