 And I seem to have lost my Rob Thomas album

I never gave an opinion on the new Rob Thomas album.  I like some of the songs but I don’t know, I just don’t love it as much as I used to love Matchbox Twenty.  First two albums great, loved a  good number of songs on 3 but after that…...

Anyway – not the main reason for my post.  So as you know I’ve been on a losing weight kick.  A new forum I was on had started a losing weight thread but seeing as how I was the last person to post a week ago I figure everyone else has lost interest .  So I thought I’d just keep a note here.  Now my offical weighing in day is a Wednesday morning – morning is the best time to weigh yourself.  However for the purposes of this blog I shall do it on a Sunday.  I weigh myself everyday which I now you’re not supposed to do but that’s the whole point of the offical weighing day – no other days really count.

So the Sundays recorded so far (afternoonish weigh-ins)

21/06/09 20st 9lbs

28/06/09 20st 6lbs

05/07/09 20st 3lb

12/07/09 20st 1lb

19/07/09 19st 11lb

 I think I’ll be happy if I could stop going into the 20st mark.

Fire on the mountain
Through the freeze
Save yourself
There’s evil
In the garden
But you don’t see it
I can tell

How do you sleep while the city’s burning
Where do you go when you can’t go home
How do you drink when there’s blood in the water
Where do you turn when the world moves on
When the world moves on, hey
When the world moves on, [x3]
Yeah, oh Yeah, oh yeah world moves on
That world moves on, yeah

Shall listen a few times then give an opinion

Feelin’ worn down like a piece of glass
Doesn’t take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies
Make and swallow them
You don’t see just how you got into this situation

(Refrain)
Late at night, late at night
You weep for something better than the secrets you keep me down
Just lay down, here, close to me
And tell me what you want from me

(Chorus)
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

Wide awake now and your monkey’s dead
You so perfect that you never really need nobody
Put your hands down
You’re among your friends
You just take and take and take and take and take and take and

(Refrain)
Late at night, late at night
You weep but you’re no better than the secrets you keep stay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
Pretend you’ll never leave me

(Chorus)
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

(Chorus)
Tell me what you want child
Give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

So I had to go back to the doctors because my glucose tolerance test was a bit high.

Just FYI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test. Although I hadn’t been fasting and it was only just above the level so I’m not worried.  Have to have another one done, where I do fast, have a sugary drink, wait 2 hours, get tested again.  Fun!

On slightly cheerier news the diet seems to be going okay – lost around 4 pounds in a week!

So I thought it would be a super idea to do an before picture

So lots n lots to catch up on.

Firstly – getting my room done.  More importantly getting a new bed, which I desperately need.   The down side is that I’ve had to clear all my stuff out .  Including taking the posters off the wall, which makes my room seems echo-y.  However here is a before picture (although I possibly should’ve taken it before I cleared everything)

You may find yourself with some between photos .

 In other news – went to see the doctor about getting some help losing weight and now I’m on something called Xenical.  Haven’t eaten any sweets since Monday (yeah yeah big deal) and I’ve been out walking for 30 mins for nearly every day (cept Thursday although I did a bit) and yesterday (because it was raining but seeing as how cleared out most of my books n wot not and carried them up to the attic, I figured I was covered).  Supposed to go back in 4-weeks to see how I’m getting on but they took some blood and sent me out a letter asking me to make a “non urgent” appointment to talk about it.  I’m hoping it’s just standard.

I’m just wondering if it’s about my cholesterol.  Now last time I had it taken it was quite low (3.9 I think) and these tablets work by stopping your body from absorbing 30% of your intake of fat (and yes there was some seepage – sandwiches with marie rose sauce are NOT recommended).  So if I had low cholesterol, wouldn’t it suggest that my fat intake isn’t that high?  I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.  The hardest thing is keeping it all secret from my mum.  Don’t ask me why I want it to be. I don’t know.  I know that I feel really guilty that I can’t seem to diet without just doing it but bleh.  We’ll see.

Oh and here is a screenshot of my new(ish) WoW character Layton with her cat Casper

Should I be worried that there’s such a thing as emo porn?

So as I was saying I read the Twilight series. I think I might have to read it again at some point but slower, although I still think that book 2 was just a bit too angsty

Moved onto the Southern Vampire book series which the tv series True Blood (back in June hurrah!) is based on. Loved it. Really really loved it. Read all 8 books in the space of 3 days. The next one isn’t out until may in the US (June in the UK) so I’ve ordered the hardback off Amazon.com and paid for business deliver (because the priority delivery was worth more than the actual book).

I’m really hoping Sookie gets back with Vampire Bill and that he doesn’t die.

Angsty emo at that.

I hope they don’t make the sequel to Twilight, most of the movie will be all about how depressed she is.

I’d totally do the guy who plays Edward Cullen though (as long as he wasn’t made of marble and is legal – ooh nearly 23 excellent )

Oh no! They are making it

Two weeks late like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside

I said I knew the beat ‘cause it matched your own beat
It’s become my engine my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave.

Fucking fecking fracking fuck

The sun is gone and the flowers rot
Words are spaces between us
And I should’ve been drown in the rivers I’ve found of token lost
And I should’ve been down when you made me insecureSo break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
‘cause I’m so much more than meets the eye

They hurt

With blisters in awkward places

Been out walking for uh 30mins (ish) 4 times this week.

Hurrah.
