I love... Knitting hats/scarves/mittens/socks/sweaters (you get the idea), making cards and collages, baking, anguishing over choosing the rights gifts for people I love, cooking vegan creations that my family resists, singing to songs I know most of the words to - especially in the car, baby everything (humans, cats, dogs, ducks, koalas, komodo dragons...), watching surgeries, trying to speak French, foreign films and music, praying - a lot, writing letters, coming up with pet names for those closest to me, trying to maintain a healthy, active, somewhat green downsized and simplified lifestyle, playing the violin to the best of my ability, drinking wine and dancing on tables (which more often than not coincide with on another)

| Slightly less than beforeI was 141.2 this morning, which is a small improvement. Today I've had oatmeal with dried cranberries and some almonds for breakfast, a little pizza made from a 100-cal pita with tomato sauce and 1 slice of soy cheese, 1 cup of peas, and a cup of tea. Tonight for dinner I'm going to make a large stirfry so I have leftovers... I have two types of cabbage, peppers, carrots, corn, mushrooms, and marinated tofu. All of those veggies are going to be great... low in calories, high in fiber and water... just what I need.
I worked out twice yesterday... morning practice which was a difficult, technical, long row, and then I lifted and did 15 min on the eliptical/15 minutes at 6.9mph on the treadmill. Today our practice was kind of kaboshed by weather so I have to go down to the boathouse for a shorter workout. Tomorrow my mom is coming to visit after practice (which is alumni day and we have this ridiculous race that I won't count for a workout) and we'll spend the day shopping and such. Then I want to come back and do a long, easier cardio session since I have an erg test on Monday and I need to be well rested for that.
I hope everyone is doing well... thanks to the people who have come back to read my xanga... I'm trying to regain the strength I used to have to resist food and every comment you leave helps so much... now I'm off to do a bit of commenting of my own!

| Stable... not good141.8 again this morning. I want to break 140 ASAP. I went grocery shopping yesterday and did not buy any chocolate or sweets AT ALL. Hopefully not having it around me will help. I bought lots of fruits and veggies (mangoes, peppers, mushrooms, kale, lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries, bananas, carrots, celery, etc.), soy milk and soy yogurt, tofu, and some whole grain hot and cold cereals. Not a piece of chocolate in my cart. I did buy some nuts, which I'm trying to avoid, but I'm going to keep them in a hard to reach place that will hopefully motivate me to only eat them in moderation. I also made homemade-vegan peanut butter cups for my housemates yesterday and they're thankfully all gone, so I got rid of a lot of my peanut butter (something I need to stop eating since it's so high in fat) and all of the rest of my chocolate.
Today I had high-fiber whole grain cereal with strawberries and banana for breakfast and a few almonds for a snack. Then, I went to the boathouse and did a 30 minute erg, which I followed with 60 minutes on the eliptical and a little circuit of abs/pushups/squats. Then I had lunch, which was a 100-calorie sandwich thin (these little pita-ish breads) with a piece of soy cheese, a salad of kale, lettuce, tomatoes, and a few dried cranberries with a spray-on dressing. This afternoon I wanted to just much, so I had some Kashi Autumn Harvest and a little bit of Veggie Booty. Then for dinner, one slice of whole-grain bread and my homemade squash soup that's made with two kinds of squash, sweet potato, and light soymilk. I don't plan on eating again until tomorrow sometime. Maybe I can do a mini-fast through Tuesday??
I need to break 140. I just need to.
In lighter news, I'm almost done with a sweater I'm knitting... pictures to follow.

| Fasting this weekend?I was 141.8 this morning and ate oatmeal for breakfast, nothing but a handful of cereal all day and then went out for dinner. We went to a Japanese place and I had three veggie rolls, a small side salad, and a cup of miso soup. I'm hoping that my weight is only going to be up tomorrow because of all of the salt. I normally never salt anything, so I feel like soy sauce and miso are going to kill me! I drank four glasses of water over dinner, plus unsweetened green tea and a seltzer when I got home. I'm terrified of gaining again.
I get to sleep in a bit since practice was cancelled, but I have to go to the boathouse to do a workout tomorrow afternoon. I hate erg workouts but I know they're so good for me. I have to be light AND strong.
Getting there... I can do this
P.S. I got such a high today and yesterday off of not eating during the day. I have to just keep it up.

| Back to xanga=back on track, no? I really need to get my act together. I haven't gained anything over the summer, I'm consistently 142 every morning. However, I was embarrassed as ever when I was weighed at practice the other morning. I know I can easily be 135. I just need to start checking more xangas and feeling thinspired. I'm also going to start using Calorie Count again, since it really gives me great motivation not to eat as much.
I've been wanting to do a juice cleanse, and I think I'm going to do one next week or starting this Saturday.
I'm sorry for not commenting... buffmuffy, organicallythin... I read you on my subscription digest every day and still care. I don't know why I've just neglected to respond. To buffmuffy: stay strong... you don't have to resort to that. Focus on school, not on food so much and maybe you'll be able to find a balance. Organicallythin: CONGRATS ON THE WEDDING!!! I know you've waited forever for this and I hope that if you are pregnant that you won't be too stressed out!
Time for 1 photo, so we can all see how much heavier I am now... the embarrassment usually helps... This is from my 21st birthday two weekends ago... I'm in red, in the middle... and in the second one... cute shot, but look at my arms EW!
