joanne, i totally agree with aaron. but, on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with regular exercise and a balanced diet full of fresh foods and variety, right? umm... tips... drink some water before you eat (sometimes you get thirsty but just don't know it because our bodies are stupidly slow at telling us that) and i guess try to get some more fibre (which you should be fine for if you're getting lots of fresh fruits and veg, which i think you are) because it makes you feel satiated/will make you take in calories slower (no calories but it adds some bulk to your food). according to my notes, the recommended amount for women is 25g per day (which is actually a lot! i don't think i even get half of that... *sketched out*) but if you're going to do that, increase your intake gradually because if you do it all at once, your colon bacteria won't be able to handle it (not used to it) and according to my prof, you will become gassy :(
oh yeah and i looked up my notes to double check about calories; it says if you drop below 1500kcal per day, your food selections become restricted and if you go below 1200kcal, that will cause slowing down of metabolism and energy storage. just to go back and clean up my earlier "claims"... but yeah, i think if you want to improve your eating habits, that's really good (as long as you don't get really obsessive/crazy/scary...). i started exercising (crazy, i know) about a month and a half ago? two months? and i feel so much better and don't get all wheezy when i run for the bus now, hahaha. i praise your strength at keeping to a balanced diet and congrats on the new job! that seems like such a good experience!
lily, i repeat what aaron said! what time do you want us there? (or me, i guess if no one else is coming) 730? 7?
ann, i hope you're at least reading these...
all, yeah so dan realized that he and i had actually gone to this cafe before when we first started dating. we went there for cheesecake (it had a sign that said "best cheesecake in town" or something) and we each got a piece... huge mistake! the pieces were so gigantic (reminiscent of aaron/maggie bday party of 2005. i think it was that year... the huge tall cakes at boston pizza? remember?!) and we were both really disgustingly full. but yeah, i remember it was really nice and not sketchy at all. the cheesecake was really good. you guys should try it (maybe like, all of us can share one piece :P )!
okay aaron i'll call you. but for now,
doctor update: okay so we looked at all my results and everything is within normal range. hmm...
so now what do i do? no idea. obviously something is up... my doctor just gave me pretty blanket solutions (sleep lots, exercise regularly, eat lots of fresh fruit and veg...) so... i guess i'll do that? i don't know what else to do anymore. my iron, hemoglobin, and whatever that was about my thyroid was fine. my immune system is fine. vit b12, and everything that might be wrong because i'm a vegetarian is also fine. what the hell?!
oh yeah lily if you read this on wednesday, call me (preferably not past 8pm, but whatever). i didn't call you because i knew you had all class all tuesday :| but yeah. cell.
