breakfast - 2 egg tarts
morning tea - 2 slices raisin toast with butter
lunch - chicken caesar salad with lots of bacon, chicken and cheese
dinner - roast chicken and potato

Study - have been working ALL DAY on cul207 essay (1500 words). So incredibly almost finished except for one paragraph and my conclusion... it's one of those moments where you had something written, then you go back and realise "hold on, that's actually not right" and then you have to figure out what it right in order to rewrite it :(

Exercise - none :(

Pb! whaat u ate today is like nothing! lol and what u did eat was badd bad bad (not all of it) :p the reason u may be getting chubbier is because ur metabolism is getting slower... eg to increase metabolism u eat more and excercise, not eat less and excercise. if ur metabolism is slow, it takes craploads of effort to burn off pasta

Are u getting chubbier though? i mean it could be a figment of ur imagination lol.. have u weighed urself, measured urself? I want to see a photo so i can make up my own mind, i think u may be a bit biased lol.

lol actually, add 2 cups of coffee to that day haha.
yep i realise i'm eating heaps worse, but i'm trying to eat what i want whenever my tummy wants it and not just when i see good food. i want to eat like i used to... back in the old days when i lived on V, pretzels and wedges and was 45kg (aww i miss the old days)... although i know that my metabolism is heeeaps worse now.

... however, lol... i guess today was pretty bad
breakfast: 1/2 bottle iced coffee
lunch:1/2 can redbull + rice with prawns and cawliflower stirfry (ate half)
snack: like 1/4 of the iced coffee + 1 soothers smoothers
dinner: rest of my lunch + soup + part of a bread roll
dinner2: a liiiitle bit of rice with fried egg+veg

lol and i'm actually happy with that. i threw out the rest of the redbull and iced coffee cuz i want to get rid of my caffeine addiction cuz my head is fuzzy lol.

.. and before and after photo... no way! haha. you've seen me recently. the before and after photo is meant to go from fat to skinny, but mine will be from skinny to fat lol.

pb, i don't know how tall you are but [edit: your weight] is light.
i'm thinking it's to the lighter side of someone who is 5' and it's definitely light for someone of 5'5

Having met pb in real life, her weight would be fine :p Stop worrying!

I'm bigger and curvier with more chunky muscle mass than you, and I'm on the low end of healthy weight. Therefore, at worst you're where I am :p and it's not such a bad place to be! :p

Breakfast - bacon and egg mcmuffin and a hash brown (grabbed something on my way to class)
Lunch - skipped I think
Afternoon Tea - chicken rice and chicken :)
Supper - more chicken rice and chicken, plus some chocolate :D

Study - go away!
Exercise - had my singing concert on today. All that shaking onstage (due to nerves, I don't think the audience could see though) has burned off some energy, I'm sure :p

Breakfast - skipped
Lunch - some hot chips from uni
Afternoon tea/early dinner - chicken pasta
Late dinner - this stir fry noodle thingo

Study - have gone through one of the two readings I need to present on this thursday, want to get through the other one and start on the actual presentation itself sometime tonight

Exercise - tap class. Ugh. Wasn't crash hot today - have been out of it all day (skipped class, had a two hour nap, and was still yawning all through my singing and tap classes), couldn't turn on my left to save my life tonight, at one point fell out of my pirouette and crashed onto the floor - that's not something that happens everyday :/ happily, both my teacher and I had mind fogs today so I wasn't alone :)

Random other concerns for the girls - my weight has been fluctuating over the past few days :/ (my weight basically NEVER changes unless there's a purple moon or something...) I know I was really sick a while back (weight stayed the same - though I lost muscle I wasn't exercising at all), but get this - the current equation is Lynn eating more (ie gaining weight) + Lynn working out more to gain muscle back (ie gaining weight) = loss of weight. Is it just me or does this equation not seem to make sense?!?!?!

I'm currently about 2 kilos lighter than I think I should be right now... :/
