Boy has a lot happened in the past few hours.
First off, I want to welcome my newest followers, although in the past few days I've seen the number switch from 58 to 59 about 3 different times, so forgive me if I'm missing one or two of you. Welcome Britni Marie, Starving Artist and Adrian. Although maybe I already said hi to Adrian? Oh well if I did already then you get two!
Today has been nothing but packing while listening to A) Fleetwood Mac (Rumours) and B) Britney Spears (everything!). I'd say I'm 80% packed. All my clothes, books, shoes, and lotions are packed. School supplies, accessories and makeup are all that really remain. After I finished packing for the day I decided to take a little nap. It was only 90 minutes but the effect still hasn't worn off. It's like my body is stupid and doesn't know that I only took a nap. Instead it thinks I'm depriving it of sleep and it's making me feel like a zombie.
Food wasn't terrible. I had the fruit salad thing, went out to sushi and had some kind of veggie roll with fried something fish in it and miso soup, and then because I'm me and like to fuck things up I had Birthday Cake Remix from Coldstone (a.k.a. heaven in a cup). Total is probably around 1000 for the day. Not really that terrible, only 350 over the SGD limit. And Gianni's right, a total of 1000-1200 is better than eating a total that will make me gain.
Let me tell you about dinner. I met someone tonight. Someone a lot of you know. I dined with none other than the lovely miss Olivia Lee. She happened to be in town this weekend and we had sushi together with two of my friends from university. She. Is. Awesome. She's so cute and nice and friendly. We talked about college and summer plans (we actually only live like 2 towns over from each other) and Blogger. It was so cool meeting someone from this community, especially her because she's one of the first blogs I started to follow and she's one of my favorites. It's official, I ♥ OL.
Alright, as my post says I'm tired and full, so I'm going to head off to bed. If I have time tomorrow in between packing and going home and seeing my family again I'll post some thinspo. I went searching today for some to put up because I know I've been neglecting to post it for a while.
Nighty night lovelies,
♥ Toni

Diet, Diet, Diet
A big thank you for the girls who left comments on my last post (you lovelies know who you are). They really made me hopeful about the rest of the weight I want to lose and gave me a big smile. You guys are amazing. =)
So last night was yet another sleepless night just like this one, except this time instead of two hours I got no hours. I went to bed at 1:30 am and time flew by, so instead of getting 6 1/2 hours of sleep and waking up at 8 I'm now running on cup #1 of coffee which I'm sure will be followed by a few more. Since the last time this happened was less than two weeks ago I'm looking into over the counter sleeping pills. So far I've browsed CVS and found a bunch of pain relief/sleep inducing combos, but I already have an ibuprofen. Do any of you use sleep pills and/or could give me an idea of what to get? I'm considering Puralin because I saw a couple good reviews for it. I also noticed a lot of the brands had Melatonin in them, which I guess helps with sleep and weight loss? Hm...interesting, plus it's cheaper than most other diet pills, although I'm looking into Weider caffeine pills as well.
Speaking of diets and the like, I just entered Sunshinechild's Super Slim Down Competition (thank you for the tip Renee, you should do it with me!). I think what really motivated me these past few months was the CruzFit challenge I entered with my friends at college, so I think a bit of healthy competition would push me enough to start me back on the right track. Plus the girls who have entered so far are already really little with BMIs from 18-20. My BMI is about 25, and it's a common fact that the bigger you are the faster you lose weight. I'm in the high 120s and still have a bit of a jiggle to me, so I think I have a pretty good shot at doing really well, but I'm doing it first and foremost for the weight loss.
And another thing related to dieting...my dad made another comment last night that just kind of blew me away. I was holding my cat who has a history of eating problems. She regularly eats a whole bunch of dry food then drinks a ton of water, causing her to throw up. While holding her I could feel all of her vertebrae, so I said "Kitty you're so skinny; you're teaching me bad habits by puking up all of your food," to which my dad replied "Is that what you do?" I got all red and of course replied no because I don't. It's not that I find purging overtly disgusting (I've had so many days where I just wanted to purge to make the fullness go away), but I really cannot purge. I've purposely purged only once so I know I can get it all up if I want, but I take birth control pills and I can't risk puking one up and having it screw everything up and getting me preggers. I don't know what's wrong with my dad. I've been eating pretty well since I got back. I lose 15 lbs in 2 months, mostly due to many many hours at the gym, and he automatically thinks I'm starving myself. Hell, at college I eat about 25% of what I eat here and no one has caught on yet. They just say congrats on eating healthier and sticking to the gym and losing so much weight. I guess it's just him caring, but I don't know what he's going to do when I come back in June because I know I'll have lost more weight by then.
Wow, super long post. Sorry about that, I've just had so much going on in the past 12 hours. I'll probably be back later to rehash how my outing and family dinner go. I hope all you lovelies have a great day. =)

2 Hours
^^^That's how much sleep I got last night, er...this morning. For the life of me I could not fall asleep. I went to bed at 3 fully intending to wake up at 10, eat breakfast, and go to the gym, but of course now those plans are dashed. I'll just try really hard to naturally keep things under 400 calories today. I don't even know what happened. I just closed my eyes and could not keep myself from staying awake. I finally took a nap from 8-10 am, although by that time my roommates were getting up and their alarms were going off. What's wrong with me?
Well seeing as I still have the whole day ahead of me I'll be updating this later with the remainder of my meals, but so far all I've had was a cup of earl grey and a cup of coffee with a tbsp of half and half (20 cal; gotta keep awake as best as I can) and an apple with a swiss cheese packet (90 cal) for a breakfast total of 110 calories. I think filling myself on liquids will help. I told my friend I'd eat with her at 10 am but then contemplated waiting as long as possible to start eating but then decided I needed to wake up. So I ate. I'll be clocking in later with the rest of my day. I hope all of yours go better than mine!
Later...
So all I've been doing is laundry and studying! Took a quick break for dinner around 6 and had 5 oz. of vegetable soup (50 cal), 12 baby carrots (40 cal) and a serving of raisin bran (minus the raisins) with 3 oz. of 2% milk (160 cal) for a dinner total of 250 calories and grand total of 360 calories. 40 under goal.
Sorry I'm going to have to cut this post short but with still only 2 hours of sleep under my belt I'm going to have to go to bed, I'm so tired! Gah!

Rain, The Office, Food
Last night was my weekly sleepover at Aaron's. We usually watch the new episode of The Office and cuddle. And for once I got a good night's sleep, thanks to his roommate not being up all night playing WOW. And I guess last night was also what my university calls First Rain. I'm surprised it didn't happen first quarter, but there hasn't been much rain until now. First Rain happens on a weeknight when it's been reining from 8-10 pm and then everyone goes running naked. Thankfully I wasn't in my dorm to see all my hall mates semi/naked and not many people in Aaron's dorm participated, but I heard there was quite a giant blob of flesh running around at 11 pm last night...
Well yesterday's intake wasn't so bad. I managed to have just an apple (95 cal), trail mix bar (120 cal), and half a banana (35 cal) for breakfast: 250 calories. It was dinner that got me. I started with a medium sized salad with 2 tbs of ranch (200 cal) and 6 oz of miso soup (30 cal). But then I decided to have some vanilla creme cake (???, maybe 200 cal) and a baked potato with sour cream and cheese (170 cal). Not good. That brings me up to about 850 calories for the day. And the worst part is that I felt super full after dinner. When I look back I see that it wasn't even that much. I felt full after the salad and soup but I still wanted to eat. Ugh...
Breakfast this morning was filling too. I had 3/4 of an apple fritter (225 cal), a small banana nut muffin (155 cal), 4 small slices of pineapple (40 cal), and 6oz of hot chocolate (80 cal). Total for breakfast: 500 calories already. I'm still trying to come down off it and Aaron wanted to eat again. I may just have tea the rest of the day. I really want to get to 134 by tomorrow's gym weigh in, but I think I may just gain a pound. Oh well. I'll keep you all posted and have some thinspo later for all you lovelies.
