Eat Up
15th February 2008
It has been a very busy expensive week purchasing flights, accommodation and transportation to and from Borneo air strip. March I go to the Arctic!Decided it was time to go for a check up.
- Pressure: 108/72 (apparently a bit on the low side)
- Weight: 59kg (up 4 kg as running has made me lose weight......so have been eating lots of junk!)
- Height: 1.74 m (wah - I lost 1 cm over 11 years.....gonna have to do more sleeping!)
- Height/Weight chart: Am j..j..j..j..just in the healthy zone.....bordering into being under weight (me thinks the chart is for the normal person who might exercise once a week.......I eat 3 square meals and participate in sports at least 4 times a week)
Nurse: Think you can go up to 65kg.
Me: How do I do that? I eat and burn it on exercise. I ate a whole cheesy pizza that would have fed 2 to 3 people yesterday.
Nurse: Hmm cheesy pizza has a lot of saturated fat. Eat more carbs before you go to bed.
Me: Sure am - eat loads of it before I go to bed.
Nurse: This is very strange - I normally tell people how to lose weight.....
So I will be trying to gain at least 6 more kilos before March 24th - Arctic
time. It is a strange thing to do!!!
