..is still an adventure, I'm still alive, and still thinking and training :)
Update 1.
I have my computer and laptop back. Danish police wasn't very helpful, so I discovered I'd make a pretty perfect little Sherlock Holmes myself and got them back. Amazing.
Update 2.
I got a pizza delivery job - driving some car around Arhus and delivering pizzas :D. Thats not of any great relevance in my life, but that's the reason and also excuse for this blog getting so little of my time lately. But it's good for me - almost the main point in all the discussions of why obesity is becoming more and more widespread is that people have to do less and less to get more and more food. In that job the customers really dont have to do more than order and pay, but I have to make the pizza, take it, drive the car, and then take this endless amount of stairs (it seems to me everybody who orders pizza live on the 4th and 5th floor?).
Update 3.
I found myself an internship place for next summer in Estonia. No contracts haven't been made and nothing is certain, but it is very likely that for some time in the beginning of summer 2013, I will be working in Sparta as a trainer/nutrition counselor. (this is so amazing that makes my stomach muscles contract and me want to screaaam :))
Update 4.
For about two weeks in October I tried out this very popular fasting. Eat one day, dont eat the next one. Besides different health benefits (increase in leptin and its sensitivity and other things that might be just as difficult to explain or understand), it should be a good way to decrease caloric intake - as long as a person eats healthy, eating double on the eating days shouldn't be likely to happen. Also it should be easier than being on for example fad diets, because instead of giving up food items for a longer period of time, one can always think that 'I can already have it tomorrow'. And basically, on the eating days, its allowed to eat whatever you want to eat.
I think it would be fine to do for other health purposes but not losing weight. My first concern is that isnt that kind of eating pattern way too close to bulimia? People on it could learn the habits or just develop bulimia and other eating disorders.
Second, I do realize that it should kind of give a freedom from thinking about food - if you know you're not going to eat that day, you shouldn't think about it. But I thought it before and also felt when trying it out, that basically, you're gonna think of food all the time. When not eating, then being hungry and waiting for tomorrow and thinking what you're gonna eat tomorrow and looking forward, and then when eating, thinking that can't eat again the next day. Plus it requires a lot of thinking and planning (especially when living alone but preferring to make my own food) to make the shopinglists and the foods that would either be easy to make just one portion, or that wouldnt go off.
For me it worked awful. I really didn't like that kind of lifestyle - probably just because it wasn't very natural for me and I ended up having to think and plan and be hungry or full way too much. And then at some point it turned to overeating-starving-overeating-starving. Then it went back to normal, but no..it wasnt really something I liked.
And, good or bad, it is almost impossible to drink alcohol with that lifestyle - you should either drink on an empty stomach or have a hangover without food, either of them feels very nice.
So all in all, it might work for some people, but it really didnt for me.
Update 5.
I am running. :). Not that much or not that fast, but for the last 4 weeks or so I've been running about 3 times a week 1-3km at a time. I have also been on two runs outside - one very short one to see how it feels, and then a slow 30 minute one, that luckily happily both ended well and no pain nowhere. I am really excited about the possibility that I might become a runner again :). Reeeeally.
Update (is it?) 6.
I think SO much. My brain is what my class would refer to as Franky :D. It's like a philosophical library with all this information. But maybe that's what people do when it's autumn. Or when they're young and not all that smart yet. I try to not make this blog a very philosophical place and keep these thoughts in my head, but about some of them, I am probably going to write here soon. Cause it's interesting :).
Update 7.
Swimming is very ok and I do it more than once a week. I still suck at it. But it's still cool.
Update 8.
Christmas and New Years are so close. Try to stay healthy and fit and focus more on people (or living loveable things) around you or feeling good in the New Years party clothes than eating :). And pleaaase refresh your memories of ice skating - i did and it's so much fun!
Update 8.
Sadly, it's a very sad day today, so I'll finish this post here.
But will be back.
Have fun :)
