167lbs

Is what I weigh right now...

Not only have I been eating cookies and pizza to no end over the last two weeks, but I've also been eating cooked ham, cheese and milk. But for whatever reason, I cannot seem to gain weight. My metabolism is about as quick as a bunny. I've actually lost more weight even despite the increased eating...

A Week's Meal

Over the course of any given week, this is what I usually consume:

• 2 and a half Kraft Delissio frozen pizza's
• 9 355ml glasses of partly skimmed 1% milk
• 10 355ml glasses of water (excluding the dozens of ice cubes I suck on)
• A half block of "old" style cheese
• A bag of black seedless grapes
• Four bakery-style chocolate cookies from Safeway
• 2 litres of diet pop (Coke/7up/Ginger Ale)

And that'll be all folks...

2:14 PM

Hell yeah! I'm listening to the Barenaked Ladies as of this moment and am loving every moment of it.

I've always loved these guys because they're innovative, unique, quirky and of course, Canadian. Their music is so entertaining. and I can never get enough of their lyrics. If you want a boat-load of metaphors and a meaningful message from someone here in the Great White North you'd be best to stay with Neil Peart, but if you want lyrics that are quirky, odd and above all else, fun, then the BNL are the guys to check out.

Allow me to share some of my favourite lyrics:

From "It's All Been Done"

"Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you on The Price Is Right?
Will I cry? Will I smile?
As you run down the aisle?"

From "Be My Yoko Ono"

I know that when I say this,
I may be stepping on pins and needles;
But I don't like all these people
slagging her for breaking up the Beatles.
(Don't blame it on Yokey)
if I was John and you were Yoko,
I would gladly give up musical genius,
just to have you as my very own, personal Venus.
(Hit it)

From "One Week"

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Meanwhile, I am proud to say that I've lost 2lbs over the last two weeks. I know that it doesn't sound like a whole lot, but it's pretty good considering this is a result of increased daily activity and a slight change in my daily food consumption. I've been eating a lot of pre-packaged subway sandwiches from Safeway over the last couple of weeks And not only are they reasonably priced, but they taste great.

Tonight shall be entertaining though. After a hiatus of junk food, I'm a gonna get some cookies... I'm already lusting for them.

Oh and btw, I finished watching the first season of Heroes earlier today. I don't want to say anything for those who haven't seen the finale of the first season, but whoa! Eagerly awaiting season two!

Appetite Suppressants

1. To put an end to forcibly; subdue.
2. To curtail or prohibit the activities of.
3. To keep from being revealed, published, or circulated.
4. To deliberately exclude (unacceptable desires or thoughts) from the mind.

When I get the craving for food, whether that be a chocolate bar or a juicy steak, I've always stuck by one suppressant. And while It's not some vicious drug, it's not exactly good for you.. The answer my friend, is a blowing in the wind

Diet Coke! Sure, it doesn't have the classical and preferred taste of regular Coke, but it's a good quick fix. Unfortunately though, studies have linked Aspartame to causing a selection of negative side-affects which can vary from individual; hell, even cancer is linked to it.

Yeahh..see what I just did? Rather then telling you how to suppress you're appetite, I told you could get cancer from drinking items with Aspartame. Make no mistake, Aspartame is up there with the worst of drugs. And honestly, I drink tons of this stuff. I get the occasional dizzy spell, but haven't had any real issues yet; clearly though, I need to stop drinking it.

While were on the subject; I remember when I first had a taste of Diet Coke (some 5+ years ago) and thought it was the most repulsive thing on earth. It was at my uncles house and I thought I could improve the taste by dumping spoonfuls of sugar into it..lol!

Now, what the hell was the point of this post again?

Sickness

Holy smokes.

I am feeling reminiscent to a corpse.

The start of my awful day started at about, oh, 2:00 am when one of my three cats insisted on being a lunatic. Because there wasn't any food in the dishes he decided to scratch our front door (wooden) as well as our back door which has metal screen - both of which are loud enough to get anyone up.

His purpose you ask? Merely to get me awake to feed him.

I love Bill (his name) but he's truly a devious little bastard. And take note that this is far from the first time he's done this; he's done stuff like this many times before and for variety of reasons too (food, wanting to be let outside, etc).

His obsession is unparalleled by anything on this earth.

However, that's very little of the actual reason why I'm feeling like shit. After visiting Starbucks this morning (yes, I hate the place, but it's a weekend morning ritual for "Lemon Cranberry Scones") my stomach got extremely sick which eventually led to countless visits to the bathroom.

I am very much unaware of the cause. The only thing I can say is that it wasn't the Scone which caused my sickness. My father also had one today and is feeling absolutely fine. The only thing I can think is it may have been something I ate last night: watermelon (which was the worst I've ever had in my life) and steak. I suppose it's possible that the watermelon was the cause, but the time frame makes no sense..

Haven't a clue, but thankfully, I am feeling better. My stomach has settled down.
