Guys, I am blushing! Thank you so much

Simbh, I could NEVER tell myself, no wine AT ALL for weeks to come... heck, I can't say that to myself about ANYTHING! LOL, the only way it works for me is moderation, moderation, moderation.

By the way, my hair is short now, and I wear glasses at work ( a serious look )

simbh

And premier steals my thunder , pfft Just kidding man

Well , there is a time to be serious and a time to be hmm ... And Im sure you look great with glasses anyways.

Ya , I understand how you can feel with the wine , but anyways , wine has good antioxident propreties , so it can be quite benefic for you. For me , well Im not a very big wine drinker , and I drank usually at parties and such events. So its a bit easier to try and put an alt to that for a little while

Have a very nice day dalila

Hiya simbh Have fun tonite! It's morning here, actually verrry late morning LOL and I just got up and I am off to the gym.

And nah, I am not good with my diet, said it once before, I dont gain weight easily which makes me cheat too often, and then I jsut stagnate I shouldn't eat more than 1600 cals for a while, at 1700 I'll never shape these fatty watty legs. oh and I am only 166cm tall!

No wine, just to prove to J I can do it!!

dalila

hellossss!!

Monday mornings... usually I hate them, but today, for some reason, I feel fresh, happy and in the mood to actually do some work!

Weekend was nice, we put up the decorations all over the apartment, while sipping really nice red wine... it took us about 3 hours to finish everything, and as soon as we were done, and getting ready to enjoy the fruits of our work, there was a blackout!!

Oh and I managed to wake up really early on saturday morning to go to a wet market, and buy enugh meat to feed a small village! Bought loooots of fish, huge prawns, squid, clams, etc....So watch out for some nice meals in my diet-log.

Ok I just wanna say this out loud, so no one gives me hard time for it , I plan to have a glass or two of wine, from now till after hols as and when I feel like it, cuz the festive mood is on all-high around here already -we have celebratory dinners at least 4 days a week now, and I wanna be able to enjoy them ( while still controling what I eat to an extent).

ok on to the training and diet logs.

simbh

Damn , it seems so fun over there ... Here its starting to feel like the holidays for 2 reasons. 1) there is snow. 2) people are getting crazy in the shopping centers. But all those festive meals seem a lot of fun , sux we dont have them here.

Its the holidays , enjoy your wine sweetie , but dont get too toopsy (if its a word)

hiya simbh, how was that party the other day? Nah, I don't drink to get drunk, once you go overboard you can't taste the wine properly, so whats the point, right? I only get smashed for big occasions when I am with people I fully trust and NEVER with wine.... usually tequila or rum.

Yeah it's creazy around here, we have a custom of having "open houses" for hols, so we declare the house open to all friends, acquaintances, colleagues, family, etc.... people usually start coming as easly as lunch time ( if it's a weekend), and the patry goes on till after midnite, with lots of nice food and wine. It's pretty cool, but we tend to overdo it As they start on November 11th for deepavali, and end on february 9th with chinese new year..... but it catches up with me only in december!

simbh

My god , you live in paradise !

Ill have to agree with you on that , tequila and rum is a good way to get drunk

The party was cool , my friend was drunk as hell cuz I gave to him a 12 pack of beer I had in my closet for the past 2 months. LOL . It was fun , but everyone was close to drunk or plain drunk except me , so my fun was kind of limited ... Oh well , one of my buddies is coming back to town in the holidays , so Ill be drinking a little then.

Have a nice day at work daila ... Im off to sleep , I really need a good night's sleep tonight

Hi Dalila

My doc appt is next week, the 15th, re: the bloating, I'll let you know what happens. I hope they have some answers for me

Make every day a good eating day

dalila

Hi J , I put the plates cuz otherwise my balance is completely off!! Dunno if you remember but before my back injury, I could never squat even with plates under the heels, so Jodi recommended I did initially squats while keeping my hands and weights in front of me, after that to progress to doing them properly but with plates underneath my heels, and then the real squats.

I feel I am getting the hang of it, and might be able to do them without the plates in a 2-3 weeks, but for now, this is safer...I keep a very good form..

Hiya Kerri... I have a sneaking suspicion actaully that one thing that bloats me more than anything else is boiled eggs/EWs...I am eating them today after 3 days and will let you know . I am sure even if I went to see a doc he would tell me to find out which foods do this to me, right? Cuz if it was IBS or something I'd bloat all the time, woudln't I?

dalila

Oh forgot to answer your most important question Jake, the WINE! In terms of geographies, my fave are the chiliean wines, followed closely by australian ones. I generally, don't like shiraz and chardonnay blends, and love merlots and cab-sauvs , and rieslings and sauv-blancs.

I chose wine according to whatever I am gonna eat, but if I was just to drink it on its own it would 99% of time be red.

I don't have one wine that I favor, cuz over the years I've tasted so many great bottles . There's Terarrum Merlot, Cockfighter's Ghost Cab-sauv, Mitolo G.A.M ( although it's shiraz it's yummie), Penfolds are usually very good too, Hugh Hamilton's Red Emperor Cab-sauv....

oh my god , you didnt even mention the french's wines , come on dalila

Sorry Simon , I might be weird, heck I wear 2 different shoes to my own bday party, of course I AM weird! but my point is, I don't like french wines. I've tried many and they taste ( to me) watered down compared to aussie and chiliean wines. sowwy!!

simbh

Thats all fine , I just knew that most people considered them as good wine ... I was just kidding dalila To me , it all tastes the same I must miss a sense or something If you like whine , you should try some frozen wine (if its what they call it ) Vin de glace in french. The raisins are are taken when its 0 to -5 celcius or something like that (Im not an expert) and supposedly it has a very good taste. Oh ya , its not from France , its from Canada , you might have trouble to get your hands on some , but Im sure it would be worth it if you ever do.

Good night ... Im almost sleep walking

I'm not sure if you're bloated all the time with IBS. I was told about seven years ago I probably had IBS, but then the symptoms went away after three months. I'm going to bring that up again with my doc, cuz when I was told I probably have IBS it was from the emergency room doc and I'm not sure if my family doc knows about it. I know certain foods set off my bloating and I try to avoid them, salty stuff especially, garlic, certain spices and drinking booze I'll find out as much as I can about it and I'll fill you in

I am starting to think that my body is just happy the way it is and it refuses to change! There are times when I eat like a pig without any change to the intensity of my workouts, and i wouldn't put on more than a pound or two, sometimes not even that much...

There are also times ( like now), when I eat clean 90% of the time, and I train really hard, and I still look the same!! I measure myself too, same! It's so frustrating!! The fat refuses to budge!!

Anyways, Kerry, thank for the support girl, I am looking forward to hearing what your doc will have to say. I too notice that garlic, boiled eggs, certain fruits and some other food bloat me more.

simbh

Nanh dalila , Im sure it will change , heck Im as sure of that as I am sure that it will go down to -20 celcius here at least 2 times this winter. Just keep on doing what you do and and it will change. Dont give up , youre too joyfull for that

Have a very nice day btw , dont drink too much wine now At least keep the white wine for me
