I started a journal a while back...
June 2nd
Hej!
By the looks of it there are many Europeans on this forum, and here's another one...
My name is Runa and I'm a 18 year-old Danish/ Canadian.
I've gone from weighing 150Ibs to 140 since I started weight training last November. I'm 5'11 tall.
I dont have any photos to add right now. (To be honest, I'd rather wait till I have the after shot...). I dont know my BF % either.
This is my second post so far (but I've been reading many of the entries )
I should probably tell you about my goals. It's actually quite simple, lose fat and gain muscle. In order to do so I weight train 3 times a week, and do cardio 5 times a week (3 out 5 is light cardio). I eat 5-6 balanced, clean meals. Well, this is my first day doing so...I have always just been eating whatever I want to - ice cream, pizza, candy, hamburgers, and more ice cream, pizza, candy and hamburgers...
The weight training has been pretty light up until now due to an injury in my right arm. -Hopefully I'll have more luck with physical therapy than John. (I havent started quite yet, so its to soon to tell...)

Anyway, I think this lady looks awesome

I found that I really enjoy these forums. Thats why I'll try again...(its for my own good)

First pic (if I can get this right)
My abs (non-flexed)

:eek: Big! But I did it! (Note to self: Always read FAQ)

Wow! Very Impressive! ;)

Thanks, Swank_Hood_Rat. :)

Vacation!
Options this year:
*Visit my family in Canada
*Visit my fam in Italy (too much hugging and pasta, but free accomodation)
*Visit my grand father in Minnesota (he's an older version of MacGyver :cool: )
*Norway (lived there + beautiful and nearby)
*Scotland (is Edinburgh pronounced 'boro' or 'burgh'?)
*Greenland (fly fishing)
*Spain (tan)
*Stay at home (sleep)
3 weeks is not enough :(


My head is a mess today. Im sure my cheat day yesterday didnt help. Have to admit it wasnt planned. I broke up with my bf. Didnt think I'd care... Maybe the eating is just some PMS stuff... (Why on earth cant I decide which of the two??)

When is my roomey ever done in the bathroom?? :mad:

Oops, somebody accidentilly threw a pair of shoes out the window :whistle:

:d_biggrin

Oh, just found a picture of this really hot volleball dude I had a crush on :drool:

...fitness journal my ()() :rolleyes:

My older brother, Alexander, just called to hear if I wanted to go camping next week. Last time I went camping I had a tent in my living room for three weeks. It was put there to dry, but as soon as it did, my dog, Ito, moved into it. It looked so cute. Now there is a big hole in it and it smells funny.
Anybody tried MSR tents? Are they s good as they come?
My baby-bro, Philip, has all my fishing gear (and he lives in Canada with Mor (mom).
I would need new shoes, backpack, sleeping bag, windbreakers (?), cookware, something to keep the mosquitos away.........................................

Im bored stiff today. Tho things will probably heat up when my room mate sees what I've done with her make up (used it as paint. No, its a house, not modern art). - And her shoes.

Rest day today.

I just got back from a three days camping trip with Alex. It was a lot of fun, especially fishing and swimming. Beautiful weather too.

Eating didnt go so well. I ate a lot of bad foods. A lot. My older bro had brought tons of candy and other yummy foods.
I had my rest day on Saturday, but running yesterday had to go. Im not sure if hiking can be seen as a substitute, cos it wasnt at all hard.

Im looking forward to my workout this afternoon. It seems like everytime I fall out of my program I have a hard time getting back on track. Even tho it was just a few days.

Missed my physical therapy appointment today. Was supposed to get back in time for it, but silly me fell asleep the minute I came in the door.

Summary:
+ Nice trip. Fun
- Ate waaay to much the last three days
- Didnt exercise
- No physical therapy = longer till my arm will be fine
- To sleepy to work out today? No energy
- Cut y toe on a sharp rock, hurts when in shoes
- Millions of mosquito bites
- Sunburned

Friday, Sat, Sun were really bad food days (hot dogs, chips, chocolate, cookies, candy etc non-stop)

This is what I ate today:
1) Cereal
2) Bread and protein powder
3) MRS and fruit salad
10g PP before exercise
4) Meal replacement shake
A slice of bread
5) Salmon w/m. Orange juice, salad
+ multivitamin, omega 3, 6, 9
3 l water

Have to buy more fruit. All out.

Exercise:
Weight training, lower body + 20 min cardio and stretching
Abs

Gonna wait a week before I weigh myself and take new pictures. Need :tu: not :d_frown:

Felt better after I had my training done.
I know it feels better to be healthy than to be binging.

It gotta be 40˚C in here!

Rating comic strips/ books:
1) Nemi
2) Donald Duck
3) Asterix (Obelix is my fave) - I think this is my no 3, havent read it in a while

Got to get my hands on liquid bandade, the one on my toe keeps falling off.

The fellows at my gym accepted my music. I dont like Ramstein and Metallica!! Today it was Jane's Addiction, the Strokes (soo 03...), Span and Velvet Revolver. Rolling Stones is nice for moderate cardio ('Gimme Shelter' - please go away). Beastie Boys speeds up shooting hoops. I listen to it at home, so I didnt really need it at the gym, but I had to avoid trance and other # music.

Maybe I can get something out of this waste of time, like figure out what to do this summer. *Drawing out of hat*
It will be:
Spain and Norway.
Was hoping for Greenland.
Maybe I can finally use 'Learn in your car Level One Spanish' :confused:

See if I can get my run in tomorrow (today).

Can't go on posting whenever Im bored or cant sleep... The TV doesnt work. Good excuse, right? Plus, A left his dog here, and it is taring down the apartment.

I did my running (scheduled Sunday) this afternoon. Beat my old record. This is one very annoying thing about me, I am extremely competitive! Its the only weekly workout I compete with myself (and when possible, others). Was suppoed to have rest day, but my lazy weekend changed that. Ran on trails.
I've also done an extended ab routine (I make it a little more challenging 2 times a week. Abs: 5 days total).
Slept a little longer today. Better get to bed before midnight, got a lot to do tomorrow.
Food about the same as yesterday.

Woa! Warm today!
Im done with all my chores for today, so I think I'll go fishing this afternoon.

Exercise:
Weight training upper body + 20min cardio and stretching (...gym has aircondition!)
Abs

Food:
Good. Not surprised. Its not too hard, unless its stuffed in my face. Not hungry.

Weigh in:
Monday. See if I can post some before/now photos.

Im going to Scotland tomorrow till Monday, and get a few days at home before I leave for Norway. So to whoever reads this; have a really nice summer!

K, was supposed to go to Scotland, but there was some problems with the tickets when we arrived at the airport (Feelings: :eek: then :mad: ), so we got on a flight to Rome instead. Silly thing. We didnt have a single outfit to use. Didnt need rain wear down there.
I ate a couple of burgers, sandwiches etc - Healthy food at airports/hotels/restaurants does not exist!!
If I dont look at what I ate, I had a great time! Kind of glad to be back tho. See, Rome is great, and I've been there a thousand times, but I hat shopping ! It is sooo boring! And tv, whats up with Italian, why dont I understand any of what they say? Fortunately that was no barrier for room service and refill of mini bar! :tucool: (shame on me, but I was bored)
Exercise? Actually, yes! I did use the gym at the hotel, and the pool. And I've must have walked up millions of steps.

Anyway, here I am, vacation cut short, Friday night... Just got back..
I noticed my room mate has been visiting JSF. She made a lot of fun of me (she always does when it comes to fitness). She is the most unsupportive person you could ever imagine!

Might consider my trip to Rome as "cheat day" and get on with my training and diet. To bad it is Saturday tomorrow. I usually go out Saturday nights, go to lunch with friends earlier the same day, and my room mate always has the apartment filled with candy on the weekend. It is so frustrating! :drool:

Slept in a bit today, so I had breakfast infront of the PC while browsing peoples journals. Im not a multi-task person, except when it comes to eating.

It has been such a lousy weather lately, that I managed to swop my vacation around. Now I'll have my last two weeks in the beginning of August. Back at work on Monday.

Looking forward to my weight training later on. Fortunately Im not tired. If I could choose I would probably sleep till noon. I guess having my eyes open at 0950 when not working is pretty amazing.

Have to go out and buy food for my cat. She needs to eat too.

Havent got much to do today. Maybe I'll go fishing.

Havent got much to do today. Maybe I'll go fishing.
Up until I had to baby sit my neighbors kid.. :rolleyes:
Its half past midnight and he just fell asleep. And have you noticed? Its Saturday night. :(
When I came over to their apartment they had put out chocolate cake, pizza, chips... I ate it all. Why do they have to put it right infront of me? Is this a eat till you drop, eat if you are bored, eat if you are doing whatever - world? Man!

So...bored again...eaten all their food...
Time to show off some of my more postive sides:
I can count to three in nine languages :spaz:
Danish: en, to, tre
Eng: one, two, three
Norwegian: ein, to, tre
Swedish: en, två, tre
Finish: yksi, kaksi, kolme
Spanish: uno, dos, tres
German: eine, zwei, drei
French: une, deux, trois
Portuguese: uma, dois, três (?)
Looking for a tenth...

Okay, how to stick to diet:
1) Avoid other people
2) Dont travel
3) Sleep thru weekends
:confused:
Already lost, havent I?
1) Learn to say no
2) Work and make money
3) Be occupied/ say no

Between 7AM and 7.30AM:

4AM: Finally fell asleep
4.30AM: Drunk friend calls from Roskilde. "Do you know where x is?" Hadnt a clue.
5.somethingAM: Drunk friend calls again. "I found him"
5.somethingLaterAM: Another drunk friend calles to tell me one of his socks has gone missing. He is very concerned.
6.30AM:
Room mate: Hey! Psst! Runa! Are you awake?
Me: Zzz
Room mate: (Copy the above)
Me: Zzz?
Room mate: (One more time)
Me: No?!! :mad:

Already eaten breakfast. Little bit tired.

Running and abs today.
To be updated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Between 11PM and 1130PM:
Still cake in the fridge... dunno what will happen when I walk by the kitchen :drool:

Exercise: √
Diet: √
Breakfast:
Oatmeal, milk, jam
10g PP
1 s Fatty Acid Complex

Meal 3:
25g PP
Bread
Orange juice

Tough day. Always harder after binge day. Especially if binge day includes chocolate.
Not tired. :confused: :(



1150PM:
Ate the 'elluva thing! :(
Almondy (http://www.almondy.com/index_eng.html) Almond Cake with Daim (Yum!)
It actually has buttercream in it.
I ate tons of this last night.
They also have one with Snickers. :drool:

Pictures. Note, the before one is not at my fattest.
I think it was taken back in March. Havent been on a diet (that will be a challenge from now on). I know I have to be serious about eating right, not an 1/2 ()() attempt like uptil now. Thinking about posting new pictures in about a month. I know it helps to make it 'official', cos yesterday I was ravenous (Im so incredible proud that I didnt eat more than that piece of cake). I said I'd post pictures this morning, and that made me a little stronger.
Another thing: Running is my no 1 priority. Not BF%, not how I look. Time! Less of it!

Weigh in: (period soon and lots of junk food past weeks: ) 136,5
In picture: 145Ibs?
(Yuk: )

(Was running late and couldn't find my bra!!!)
:o

Exercise today: Weight training. Abs. Gonna walk my dog soon.

When I started working out last summer, I had red, swollen ancles, backache, stiff neck, no energy, no stamina, weak knees. Even tho between 155-160 (at my most) may not seem that much, it wasnt good for me. I have lost this weight due to training, and nothing else. I've always been a 'food lover' (-"one pizza for me, please, and one pizza for the four others").
I started drinking water, for the first time in my life (almost, obviously I was still alive). Starting with 4 glasses each day. Now I am up to 12 glasses - and I want it - I need it!

I apologize :d_frown:

It has been the worst week at work. I was sent to Helsinki and Bergen. I didn't get a chance to do anything while I was there, it was just airport, cab, meeting, cab, airport. Nuts.
This has deffinitely not been the best food week, nor exercise-wise! Things are said to slow down the next two weeks. Suits me fine!


I did try to eat healthy, but I tend to make up rules as I go. If I need an excuse, I make up an excuse.

1) No cheat meals - you know you just eat 10x what you said you would, and you never stick to just one day. By the way, no, you should not make your first day on a diet a cheat day!!
2) 6 clean meals a day
3) Monday: Weights
Tuesday: Running, short
Wednesday: Weights
Thursday: Running
Friday: Off
Saturday: Weights
Sunday: Running
4) Now you know the only way to cure sugar addiction is to not eat it. And by that I mean DONT EAT IT!!!
5)Say No! Like in no, thank you! Im not hungry/dont want it.
6) No sleeping till noon! What have I told you, get out of bed! How hard could it be??

Those 6 will be my official rules. And yes, I do have the right to add more, so dont you ever think you'll get away with whatever you are thinking!!

I already knew stress made me eat more. But this much? Writing down what you eat might bite you in the butt. Im shocked.

Update on physical therapy: did not help. any chance I'll get my money back?.. Now I know why the guy has such a nice home (palace).

Iish.. almost forgot: new goal (since weight is not main focus): eat clean the next four weeks.

My roomate went on vacation yesterday and the only goodies she left behind was 4 ice creams. I did manage to avoid them all yesterday, but today :mad: . I gotta be the weakest person ever!

Its pretty neat to have the whole apartment to myself, but I get easily bored.

I did mean it when I wrote no cheat days. Atleast the first four weeks.

Time for dinner soon. Something with meat and vegetables. That's all I know. I keep it pretty simple. My cooking skills aren't exatly worth mentioning.

I've bothered a lot of nice people on these forums with q about my future. "What should I do??" I still don't have a clue. I will have to go and see my doctor and find out if he thinks my hand will take carpenter-work. Since physical therapy didn't work I assume he'll try something else. Hopefully my hand will be better in time for fall semester.

I don't know why I keep craving all this junk that Im stuffing my face with. It's not PMS related, I don't have an eating disorder, Im not hungry...I don't get it! Why do I keep stuffing up great things? I really want a healthier life, but when I want something I just eat it. Might be some sort of sugar addiction: as I said before, the only way to stop it, is to stop eating it. Guess it will be hard the first couple of weeks. Geez do I need more strenght!

Had a nice workout today. And eating has gone well, except (read Title) :rolleyes:

I'll keep working hard. I stopped eating between midnight an 6AM half a year ago, and I havent broken it once. I know I can do it. Maybe Im focusing to much on diet and fitness? Maybe I'll just leave it in the background and find something else to think about. Like...?

I wish I had a super strickt sargeant (?) to keep me on track! Anybody volunteer? Seriously, some support or understanding from friends and family would be nice. Instead they just buy even more sweets! What kind of support is that?

So I built a trigger in my head. Old trigger was: feel down or bored, grab something to eat or go to a movie. New trigger is: feel down or bored, overwhelm that feeling with unconditionally constructive ACTION, regardless of how I feel (action often proceeds the feeling). Another useful trigger: when you feel like eating when you're not hungry go do something you've really wanted to do but felt outside your comfort zone, whatever that is.

I never thought I would say this but I actually started to enjoy cooking. I made chicken lettus wraps with a hoisen sauce this weekend. IT was really easy and pretty quick, and wasn't a bad way to spend time. Pick up a copy of Cooks Illistrated or Fine Cooking magazine as a way to start.

Thanks MGB!


I was just out grocery shopping. I don't do this often, since my room mate seems to enjoy it, I let her do it. Its like cleaning the apartment, easier to pay someone to do it than to do it myself.
Im kinda proud of myself for doing it (but Im not gonna do it again anytime soon!)
This is what I bought (yeah, yeah...it can get more boring than this..):
Bread
Milk
Apples
Bananas
Some weird foreign fruit
Fish
Steak of some sort
Brown rice
Cat food
Dog food
What I needed the most.
Room mate back next week.
Survive till then.

I will be working afternoon from now, which means I'll have to exercise before noon. See how it goes.
Currently extremely hooked on Spider Solitaire and Muse... Atleast Im over the Sims and Maria Mena...
Had my lower body workout today.
I dont remember the training schedule I posted earlier in my journal but I think it has changed a little.

Now when is summer coming? I need a tan!

There was a link to a picture of Melissa Hall in a thread and I had to check her out (B-O-D-Y!):
I know Im not a fitness model (haha not even close), but I loved it when woeisemma had something similar to this (but with more depth, I seem to remember):

Thoughts on Physical Therapy: Does not work!!!!! :mad:

I feel like such a celeb :cool:

I had a great run today. I keep setting new records and it feels wonderful!

My weight training routine is different now. I do full-body training three times a week, using only basic exercises.

Im gonna have to start eating clean. Reading about how easy John thinks it is, makes me wonder why I make it such a big deal in my head.

I have started doing forearm exercises to strenghten that area. Hopefully my arms will feel better.

Weight: 135

--
Since most of my neighbors are on vacation I have been watching their pets. Gold fish, cats, one dog, rats. I dont know why anyone want to keep rats... the gold fish are pretty quiet. Watering their plants wasnt too much fun.
I just learned that my older brother will be moving to New Zealand. Next week! I knew he was impulsive, but come on!
Philip is soon to be 18 and has decided to move back to Scandinavia. He will finish his final year in school in Norway. We have a very split family but somehow we are pretty close too. My grand father is gonna be really happy to see him again. I think he will enjoy having a young one in the house.
Mom is getting re-married - again. Haven't met him yet, not sure if I want to. A lot of things keeps changing around me, and I dont like it!
I've also lost my grand father in Minnesota. I wrote something about wanting to visit him back in June. Blaming myself for not doing so.
Personal stuff. Hope I didnt make anyone uncomfortable.

Anyway, time to get off the computer.

I cant stay off the computer longer then two seconds...

Exercises that I use (might be fun to know for later):
Squats
Straight-Leg Deadlifts
Standing Heel Raises
--------------------
Incline DB bench press
arnold press
bent over BB row
pullover
biceps curls
incline db triceps extension

Special 4 days a week routine for abs

I tried fitday today. Typed in everything I had eaten, exercise; Workout not heavy, food: 3277kcals! And I have two more meals to go! 33% fat, 49% carbs, 18% protein. And this is my usual day? :eek: I get enough protein, 2g per kg body weight, so I guess you can tell I eat a lot more and prob different than I should! Diet starting now! 19.56 PM. I tend to think that diet will be bad for exercise performance. Well, not sure anymore. Think it will be the other way around. :rolleyes:

Do you guys feel very different when you eat clean? Why am I asking. Every post on these forums are saying so.
Commitment here!

Fitday today is looking better! :tu:

Im sitting here, iceing my ancle. It hurts so bad! Was running orienteering. I land on the outside of my foot and that puts a lot of strain on my ancles. Rough terrain didnt help.

Some friends are having a barbeque tonight. Hot dogs, fatty food. I'll try to leave most of it alone.

I was so sleepy earlier today. I laid down in bed, fortunately I got up before I fell asleep. That was hard!

I've had frozen vegetables on my ancle for 20 minutes and I still dont think its cold. I can only feel the pain. :d_frown:

I usually run on paths, road and hard surfaces are a killer for my feet.

Been reading/hearing more about Kerry and Bush than Danish politics and news lately. :confused: And about their daughters :confused:

Ta ta ( :p )

I've had frozen vegetables on my ancle for 20 minutes and I still dont think its cold. I can only feel the pain. :d_frown:

Get that looked at. I injured myself in the same exact way landing on the outside of my foot a few years ago. I thought it was nothing, it turned out I had severe soft-tissue damage and it required that I be put in a cast.

-R

Im sitting here, iceing my ancle. It hurts so bad! Was running orienteering. I land on the outside of my foot and that puts a lot of strain on my ancles. Rough terrain didnt help.

I've had sore ankles after running befor and one thing that helped me was doing single leg, body weight squats on a rocker board. What's a rocker board? Basically it's a square piece of plywood with another board attached to the bottom. It creates a platform that rocks back and forth. Doing the single leg squats on one of these really strengthens your ankles. If you buy one it will cost about $80. But I'm sure I can make one for less than $10.

Here's a
LINK (http://www.bodytrends.com/products/balance/rockerboard.htm) so you can see what I'm talking about.

Thank you AMR. I've only seen wobble boards in Danish stores. You reckon it will work the same? Very good idea.

Bluestreak. You scared me. Was your foot okay to walk on?

Hope it's not that bad. Its feeling better today. Still very sore, but atleast I can walk. I have trouble walking stairs because its really stiff and there is still pain.


Fitday has helped me thru another day. Im around 1800kcal now. -Its less than 4000...
Fell asleep around 5PM and slept for well more than 1 hrs. Its now 2AM and I have trouble sleeping.
Another barbeque earlier this evening.
I keep touching my shoulder and biceps and triceps. I can actually feel some muscles there. Makes me soo proud! It feels kinda cool. They are not large, or even medium, but atleast there's something! If I was a guy Id be feeling my arms all the time. Muscles are great! I know, not only to look at, they are practical too.
I've decided to become a carpenter. Hopefully. Im not sure If my arm will be okay with all that work. It (my arm) still bothers me a lot.

Have to get up early tomorrow morning so I should be catching some sleep. Its been beautiful weather lately and that has made my room 30 degrees and unsuitable for sleeping. If I open a window I get all kinds of bugs indoor. And most of them sting...

:eek: Guess what I just spotted? A huuge spider hanging down from the ceiling. Im not (that) scared of spiders, but this one is huge! Hey, where did it go?
I dont like bugs! :spaz: (I didn't mean to put this in my journal!)

Was with my friends this weekend. One of them had borrowed a summer house out by the sea. Very beautiful weather. Lots of good food. NOT anywhere near a diet! Got some exercise thru throwing frisbee, playing volleyball and badminton.
Im concerned my arm wont last a week when I start school this fall. Im going to see my doctor tomorrow, maybe he has some advice - or something. Im tired of it all.

No hot water??!! :mad:
Girls :rolleyes:


Had a wonderful workout today. Really, it felt hard but in good way. And I didnt postpone it! :cool: well, maybe 20 minutes but thats not too bad.

I have spilled orange juice infront of the PC so whenever I move my hand to write its stuck. Its under the mouse as well. Doesnt move like it should. Im lucky if it moves more than an inch. Annoying.

Weight today: 135.

I still dont know if it will be a weekend 'excursion' this week. Have to decide before 9p. 3 1/2 hours. Fun and drinking vs bored and healthy.

It has been sooo warm here lately. Yesterday I tried to work out in the gym in 34 degrees! I have been to the beach every day, and had so much fun!
Eating clean is going well.
I have been focusing on lifting lately, which has had bad side affects on my running. Its harder and Im not as fast anymore.
Got 3 more weeks of heavy lifting and then a week off.

Back to School
After two years off, Im now back in school. First week is over and done with.

When I started school this fall I had to move. That complicated and changed a lot of things. I had to find another gym, with lousy weight equipment, new place, new school, a lot of bad eating the last one and a half week, busy, very little training, short on cash...
Oh and I hate my new place. Its a room, kitchen, hall, and a bathroom (built in 1600th century??). And could you say tiny? And I pay 750 USD a month for the crap!
Broadband? No! No internet access at all!
TV? The oldest that exists! And lousy quality: 'Was that a human or a bear? / Why did those people eat the chair?' Olympics is way fun to watch. You kidding, its summer olympics? Then why does it snow?

Today I have been eating everything in sight. Frustrating.

Survived another week. Even without a dishwasher...

I've had two really great weight workouts this week. The new place doesnt really offer places to run. I dont want to lose my stamina but it is so hard to find a track or anywhere at all to run. Im not a fan of roads and hard surfaces. If I had a dishwasher, trail and internet access I'd be the happiest person alive. Sorry to say I got neither of those things.

Had my first English class this semester. Weird dude. Doesn't speak a word of the language. Is that the best way to improve? Is it?!

The people I live with have got the flu. Guess its just a matter of time before it strikes me out too. Life sucks.

Thinking about joining a self defence class.

I don't know anyone who is into fitness or training!! Why oh why???!!

Rain, rain and more rain. Describes the weather lately...

Back to the fridge for another round of...whatever it has inside. I dont care, just give me the food!!!! Food!! (-Im not on a low calorie diet, average is 1800, not PMS).

Oh forgot:.. tired as h#.. today

Im not sure what's going on in the world today. I mean it. Even my own little world is messed up. I feel like I got no place to call home, and nothing ever goes my way. It is all to difficult. Good to have a place I call the Gym. Makes me feel so much better!

Its another lazy, rainy day without anything exciting happening. I need some excitement!
I feel like white water rafting in the AM, learning to fly a chopter in the PM, fly fishing before bedtime. Bungee jumping and sports in between. Learning new things.

I want to say, stop nagging, people. I said no already. Now let it go. And to get rid of people who bring me down. Make a huge change. Not just my physique. I feel like this every day. The same people pisses me off, and it goes on and on and on....

I'm now a red cross volunteer! :tu:


It's Wednesday and I have my hands on a PC. Can hardly believe it!


The last couple of days would have been edited out of my life it was up to me. On the other side, I met a cute, sweet guy :D .
I can't believe some of the things I've done lately. How can one single person possibly mess up so much, in so short amount of time!
"Glad i'm good at something"... (irony :rolleyes: )

I don't really want people to know this, but once again I turned to food to escape bad feelings. Im sure the amount I have been eating could have fed the entire population of Africa for a month.

In addition to everything negative I have managed to do, everybody around me has got the flu. Do you see a long, steep down hill from here? I would do anything to not get sick right now! I feel so sorry for myself when i'm ill that I want to die! I hate pain!
I also hate the mail service. When I order something I want it to arrive within a month of purchase. Is that reeeeally a lot to ask for? They were supposed to deliver the darn thing in a week!

Have you ever wanted to just move away from your parents and never talk to them again? It wasn't the regular everyday-fight.

Playing hookie today, BTW.

Would the Army teach me disiplin? I think I need it!

Left to do today:
Clean my room, pack and then unpack my stuff, repair a couple of jeans, do the laundry, do the dishes, write a job application, call some office place to sort out some stuff with some government employees, postpone an appointment, do my home work, get a zit off my face, go to the gym (closes at 9pm!), catch a bus (this is a biggie, I can never do this), take a shower, explain and apologize to some people, talk to some other people about something I dont understand (some people hired to do something), paying bills.
:d_frown:

Manage Attachments didn't work, so here's a link (http://www.stern.de/sport-motor/olympia2004/fotostrecken/index.html?id=528274&eid=527150&zz=1093948957&nv=fs&nv=fs&zz=1093948959&cp=1). Sina Schielke, Tonique Williams-Darling, Ivet Lalova, Jennie Finch. Olympic stars...I tend to set my goals high :D
Think they were no 1, 7, 14 and 23.

Slept in today, so I got another day of cutting classes. I feel like shoving my head up my ass. I sleep in, I feel like crap, I don't show up at school. Stupidity and laziness. Any drugs for that?

My dog has this weird thing for PC games. I think he likes all the noise.. No, surely, that can't be it.

Breakfast today was protein powder and bread with nothing on. Shopping needed.

I hate these Held-up-At-gun-Point-would-Be-heaven days. A gun pointed at my head is what I feel like today. And probably the same tomorrow. "Please put me out of my misory"... These days sucks as much as that time of month :eek: Not even a very cute picture of Brad Pitt helped. Okay, even tho he's a :eek: looking guy, that is not what I usually turn to.

If I don't get out of the house this is gonna be one bad food day! Im sure of it. Climbing mount Everest (or K2 simce Im not that fit...lol) or spending a month unvoluntarily in a South-East Asian prison is the only way to stop over eating. So all I got to do is to smugle some coke over some border down somewhere. Peace of cake.
:rolleyes:
:rolleyes:
Bluh. My head feels like a f# #, tra la la... Okay, going to go for a walk in the park and see if that helpes a little.


One person I truley admire: Dominic O'Brien. Teach me a few things, would you?

Take a look at her arms and abs!

- I felt so tired today! I rolled out of bed around 2pm. I think I woke up around 9.30 then went back to bed.

- No exercise

- Haven't had a decent run in over a month.

- I'm sick and tired by salmon. The smell makes me wanna hurl...

+ Have been eating clean today.

+ I have estimated that I, at the end of today, have eaten 1670kcal. Of course whole milk instead of skim and extra loads of jam will bring it up.


Today Im sitting down and planning my next week's nutrition and exercise. I have never done this before. Maybe it's true, planning makes the difference. Hopefully I will have more positive updates at the end of next week.

New pictures from this morning. Not a lot of change, except Im weighing more than last time. Due to my junk eating, probably :( No muscle tone either.

Have covered tattoos and a few bruises (?) and wounds.

I am not as pale as I look :eek:


Breakfast:
Oatmeal, milk, strawberries, fatty acid complex
Meal 2:
Turkey sandwich and a side salad
Lunch:
Meal replacement shake (40g prot/20g carb)
Exercise:
A 45min run in the forest.

I know its Saturday but it won't be my cheat day. Had enough of those the last month, plus that I can't start a program with a cheat day. :confused:

Ah I love late August/ early September!! :claphigh: Stay this way forever?

First of all, if you like comics like Nemi, you should visit Comics.com (http:\\www.comics.com). Try Rose is rose, that's a personal favourite.

Counting to three in swedish would actually be "ett, två, tre", if you just want to count. If you had a specific object you wanted to count that would classify as a "reale" (that's a swedish grammar word, dunno what the english equivalent is) noun, "en, två, tre" would be correct.

I wish I had a super strickt sargeant (?) to keep me on track! Anybody volunteer?
Does that mean I get to ride in a little car alongside you when you're running, screaming obscenities and to keep pushing it and stuff? Then I most definitely volunteer. :D

If I was a guy Id be feeling my arms all the time.
Hey! I do that!



I must say your journal is one of the most enjoyable I've read, and you look great to me. Keep at it!

I tried to impress PetriJR (?) by saying good evening (I think) in Finnish. He had to correct me too... All the things I like to think I know!

When can you start? :D


Every time I have blonde hair I have to babysit. :d_confuse Maybe I should color it black...

We went out and bought some sweets. Its in the baby-sit instruction book: sweets for bribary (?), tv for sleep. Had four bites. That was it.

I woke up at 7am on a Sunday morning! (Why does this never happen on a school day?) It's another lovely day (positive thinking) and I cant wait to have my run.

10 more minutes till I have to go and put on my wet running shoes. Apparently that's what happens to them when you cross a river. Who would have thought? :confused:

A friend of mine got his shoes stuck in a bog, I'd call it a swamp, and it sucked the shoe off off him. It disappeared! :eek: That was one year ago. That's a wet shoe.
Yes, exciting story, huh? :o The moral of the story (lol); tie your shoelaces well and never go into the woods (you should know this, its mentioned in the Village and Little Red Riding Hood!)

Some people consider birthdays to be fun, I strongly dislike them. I feel like crap every year. Got the same feeling today, but mostly because I had to finish a paper for tomorrow. If Im voluntarily stuck infront of the computer, it's okay. That wasn't the case today.

Have to catch the 10 o'clock bus to get back to my apartment. Somehow I can never be on time for anything. Especially not buses. Guess I should get ready for the ten o'clock bus, but knowing Im gonna take the 11 bus. I would not know what to do if there wasn't a bus each hour! (this is where I have to mention that I was actually supposed to catch a bus back on Tuesday...)

The paper had to be written in Spanish. As if. Me llamo is still the only thing I know. Apart from counting to ten. But that doesn't even impress my grand mother.

One thing puzzles me, why does it always rain when you are outside, and clear blue sky when you are stuck inside? :confused: The only time I have set a foot outside the house today was when I was going for a run. And it rained. I wasn't far from drowning, I'll tell you that.


Confession time: I was supposed to take the 9 o' bus. Its 8.15 and I havent even started to pack. Plus you got the 15min walk with a heavy backpack. I say 15min but I have never used less than 20mins.

Yup, I missed the bus.
If I (in my eyes) had been perfect I'd have
Donald Trump's face,
Tony Blair's height,
Schwarzenegger's accent,
Pamela's advantages
j/k
and my dad's punctuality.

If I could call and announce that I would be late, I'd do it. And call to say I wont make the new time either. Suppose I would need my own driver :confused: Bus vs my very own Jeep ( :nod: ) w/ private chauffeur - Now what would I choose? :confused:

This is the thing I hate the most about myself.

Bla, bla...writing much since it will be a week till I'll touch a keyboard again. That is so cruel. I need my very own laptop. I need broadband. How does anyone expect me to survive without it? What's up with dad and pocketmoney? So Im over 18, I want money till I retire!

Im a lazy sonofa#

I heard writing is therapy. Don't know if they ment online. Fortunately there is an ignore button.

RS Journal. RS's.
R and S pronunced together would be... :confused: :rolleyes:

My love for candy is ... huge. I've had a lion bar and Pringles so far today, it's now 12.15pm...

This week has sucked so bad. Could something roll with me, not against me, some time? :mad:

That's all I have to say.

Back to (school) work.

The big black sky over my head is still there. :mad:

The rest of the night will be filled with positive thinking. Flowers, birds... :rolleyes: I think I can-I think I can-I think I can :cool:

Held og lykke med det. ;)

Jeg er blevet afhængig af jordnøddesmør for tiden, så jeg ved hvordan du har det. :drool:

Jordnøddesmør? Slikmund! :D
God weekend! :)


My shoulder is acting up again. Makes me wanna rip it off! I would be going for another round of physical therapy, but I'm seriously broke.

You would think that grown ups would be able to take out the trash themselves, or remove hair from the shower drain! I've lived together with these girls for 3-4 weeks now! Im sick of clothes smelling like Im a nicotine junkie. And bugs. Evidently they like week-old trash.
I haven't had a decent nights sleep in ages, and I've been to the principals office cos I've slept in every morning so far. And when I get up in time, the bathroom is occupied! They never close the refridgerator door and they never turn of the lights or heat. Im broke so try to care enough to try to not get beyond a 4 digit bill, please! And save some hot water for me, too! And stop playing sweet bubblegum pop! Lock the door when you leave!
And the landlord! Get your nose and ass out of the apartment! Its none of your business when we clean it. And don't you think the no-friends visiting rule is to strickt?
I thought it was one of the few vacant places left, thats the only reason I took it. Not the rent. Why the H do I have to pay so F-ing much?

That helped a little. Moving out must feel even better! That put an idea in my head! :eek:

My weight workouts this week have been awesome. Hope it keeps up.

For some reason I woke up really early. Well, I will be sleeping like a baby before noon, is my bet.

My mind is all or nothing or unrealistic thinking. I read thru some of my previous posts and its just sad. My thinking right now is to create a bed time; lets say 10.30 on school nights. I know this isn't a bad idea, but not too realistic. Or maybe I lack, what's the word, aha, disiplin. Disiplin is new to me. Ever since I was a kid I've been eating what and when I wanted it, going to bed when I felt like it, and being lazy in general. Im doomed to get it back in my face some day, but maybe Im just a dreamer. I wish I was a self-realizer (??). Doing what I dream about.

I think I need structure in my life.
Like that's ever gonna happen :rolleyes:

Where on this forum did I read 'life passes you by when you are planning' or something like that? I must have made a thousand plans and never followed them thru.

I will have to read thru this later. Tired-writing usually makes no sense.

I'm gonna try milking on a dairy farm tonight! (Im extatic!)

Hi! I just started reading these forums again to try and get myself back on track. I was the exact same way as a kid. Parents were pretty easy going, I developed horrible eating habits (which I still have). Paying attention to results has led me to do better. Though right now I'm in a stage somewhere between doing well at eating and working out, and doing poorly. Trying to get back to doing well. Sounds like you are doing the same. Oh, and Wonderboys rocks.

It will get a little easier, won't it?

Oh, and Wonderboys rocks.

:cool:

I was on a dairy farm today! I had a blast!! I got to milk cows, feed calves, talk (!) to cows etc. It was so much fun!! :claphigh: I got they're tail in my face on a 'few' a occations (what do mean it hasn't been desinfected??). And they weren't exactly willing to stand still (which is the main reason I have been afraid of them. -Not so much anymore!).

We just had a cat-fight in the apartment. Two sisters were giving eachother a real round. And there was a lot of screaming involved.

My mom is in town and has invited us to dinner. Sounds great, she can really cook, but I can't wait (irony) for her yelling to start. She is so loud and she get's really easily mad. I should have wrote that in caps. She could make a stone cry :d_frown:

More news, let's see... Got kicked out of the apartment. I got a week to get out of there. That's actually one of the better things that has happened to me.

Have got to get a shower before bedtime. It still smells Dairy Farm. :D

I have signed up for a martial art class. When I remember which martial art I'll post the name...

It will get a little easier, won't it?

I sure hope so. I failed horribly tonight. Ate well all day, then ate poorly after a stressful night at work. I don't feel any better after eating bad food. I enjoy it during. So perhaps focusing on "in 10 minutes, having eaten this will not make me feel any better" is one way of looking at it. It's just hard to remember that, because I love cookies and fried foods so much. Overall, though, I think it does get easier because the gains in fitness outweigh the feeling snacks give you. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Sorry for babbling in your journal. Perhaps it's time for me to babble in mine once again.

I could have wrote that! I'm happy that i'm not alone. Good luck! Hope it will get easier for both of us.
And
Keep babbling here as much as you want :nod: :cool:

My week: Slept in Monday. Slept in Wednesday. Blew a job interview. Almost hit by a bus. Stomach ache from over eating. No workout Monday. All out of supplements. Broke. Flat tire.
Back to the almost hit by a bus. I stepped off my bike to cross the street. Bus - in high speed - didn't stop at red light. I was halfway across the street and had the bus coming straight along side me, almost touching my face. Take the bastards licence! I was like, what, an inch from getting hopsitaliced?! I was shaking all the time at the gym and I had this sickening feeling and my heart was pounding like mad. Felt like f# throwing up!

My new place is small, but got a dishwasher. :claplow: , that's all I need.

My previous landlord didn't give me my deposit back. Can he do that?

Summary:
Food: Bad
Exercise: Bad

Monday was my swearing day. I was so angry on Monday, and every second word should have been *beep*ed out of my sentences.

No dinner on Sunday. Mom decided she rather wanted to go to Paris. Thanks, mom. You could have stopped for more than a hi when you where in Scandinavia.

"To Be Honest" on JSF forums:
I mentioned above that a dishwasher is all I need: One thing that I also need is: doors!! My bedroom door is a see-thru glass door!! Can you believe that?? "Hi! Are you one of six lucky to-be room mates who want to be present at a real live reality show? Call See-Braless-Roommate, tonight!" :rolleyes: WTF. :( That door is gonna be replaced quicker than you can say MacDonald's!


I ate 3 candy bars and a haribo roll today.

And a muffin.

And a coke.

And I ordered some take out.

And I might have bought some fatty creamy (large) ice cream with chocolate coating.

And a second muffin.

I'm not saying I did do all of the above...I'm saying maybe...Like...maybe I did do it...You know, I don't really remember......

It's good to see that I'm not the only one who has trouble sticking to one's goals.

Thought I'd see who's been helping me the pass two weeks.

Keep up the good work. Watch your diet. I know it's hard.

Thank you!
I don't exactly practice as I preach, huh? :o The workout I gave you is incredible, I hope we both stick to it, and see great results.

Food is my biggest weakness. Not only is it everywhere, but it's cheaper to buy four candy bars than a small portion of salad. Don't ask me why!

Had a lovely workout again today. It's great to be able to say I had a fun time at the gym (and to not only say this when I watch housewives in their 50s doing exotic belly dancing :cool: . For some reason that cracks me up :d_confuse :cool: ).

A lady at the gym did side raises and hit me in the head with her DB. I was sitting on an incline bench and she came and stood beside me. The weirdest part is that she didn't move. She did it again. Finally, I moved.

The best things about brothers? You can trust them with your life. I love them with all my heart. (They keep saving my skin...Lucky me, poor them...)

Weekend at last! (Time to get pissed :whistle: ).

Time for (surprise, surprside)........: Oven Baked Salmon! :eek: I could have chosen Cod or something, but apparently it can't be oven baked like salmon. It kind of melts away. That left me two choices: Pancakes (the fatty kind) and the oh-so-sickening salmon. :claplow: to my cooking skills! (because irony is difficult to understand on the internet: Irony). Don't tell me it's fun. It's like doing laundry. I'm never gonna like it and it will always turn out different than it should.
Did I mention I got three pink ( :rolleyes: ) shirts now?

Jrs...
You need a workout partner! someone that can help get you going and you do the same for them.. :tucool:

I have a tough time with my eating as well...I love food, but when I get serious about my fitness goals after a few days of avoiding the temptations that are all over the place, I begin to not even crave them. The best thing I ever did was to take a several day fast from refined sugar. That cut my craving for such things which was naturally replaced with the cravings for the healthy foods that I ate over those days to fill the desire for sugar that I had.

The other thing I have done is put a picture of an actual ten pounds of fat and some pictures of in shape bodies on my fridge. It makes you evaluate every time whether your desire for food is because your body just wants it or if it actually needs it. If you decide that you need it you can then critically think of the right foods to eat to meet that desire. Remember, any food in your house is there, not to take up space, but because you intend to eat it at some point. Get rid of that bad stuff and only buy healthy food and you will be limited on your options and eventually will end up craving those things when you are hungry. A fit body is acquired in the kitchen just as much as it is at the gym.

I say all of this as input for you and certainly a reminder for myself. Best of luck with your progress!

Thank you. Great advice!
(I think I would get mocked if I put a nearly naked body on my fridge. First of all, there live about 10 other people there, and second, no you guys, I don't have a thing for ladies (in bikini). Right now I have more than enough with hiding my protein powder :rolleyes: ).

CASD, tell me where I can find one, and I'll get on it. My friends are party-people who never care about anything but gin & tonic, or real sweet tooths.

Finally I got a new playlist:
D 12 - How Come
Bone Crusher - Cake Boy Run
Cake - (Plural)
Hoobastank - Out of Control, Remember Me
Interpol - Slow Hands
Infinite Mass - The Thief
The Thrills - Whatever Happened to Corey Haim
Sissy Wish - The Six Feet Tall
The Rasmus - Guilty
Rammstein - Mein Teil
Soulscar - It Takes a Wolf
Pantera - Wolf
Papa Roach - Last Resort

Okay, I enjoy listening to - Scissor Sisters - Laura and Natasha Bedinfield - These Words (reminds me of Nelly Furtado on her first cd) too... and Robbie Williams - Radio...
Quite a mix, huh?

Girls fight a lot! They are on it again!

I just had something to eat (clean), so I have to wait a little before I go for my run.

I'm in a great mood today! The first thing I did when I woke up was to, no wait, the second thing I did was to walk the dog. Beautiful morning in the park this morning. Water, green grass, threes :)

You know there is a big black cloud above your head when parties you are going to, get 'crashed' by police officiers a quarter before you get there, and I'm back around 10...
I'm tired tonight. I don't like being tired...
Just ordered The Sims 2...
The killers are great. Somebody Told Me...
I want to wear Engrish.com's I want To Die t-shirt...
I got four tests next week, but I don't wanna study...
Right now I listen to Britney's My Prerogative...

Life feels blo0dy good right now...(irony). Go to bed, babe! :rolleyes:

I just remembered why guava seems so familiar. Baby(?), Dirty Dancing...

Arg...hmmm...

Please don't give up on me, I promise to try once more, full heartedly.

I want it! I wanna get fit! I dont want to feel like I do now! (Shocker...)

Bluh...bluh...bluh... - BEDTIME!

The Killers' whole friggin' album is awesome! I bought it a couple of months ago and now it's a frequent favourite for my cardio sessions. I love 'Jenny was a friend of mine' and 'All these things that I've done' especially, although it's all good.

I'm also way into the Scissor Sisters, and 'Laura' is awesome.

I want The Sims 2 :drool: I need to curb my desire to manipulate real people by manipulating fake ones :D (I hear the Grim Reaper can be quite funny, when he shows up)

I need to curb my desire to manipulate real people by manipulating fake ones :D
Yep, and that is a lot of fun :cool:

Despite the bad weather I went for a run today. Hard, but felt good. I can deffinitely feel it has been a while since my last one. So...almost a year till next summer...not good.

I ate (a very good) rice and meat dish for dinner. Unfortunately it wasn't brown rice, and the meat was fried in butter, but it was better than salmon (plus I didn't have to make it!).

I have said I dont have access to a PC mon-fri, but the week to come is the first time that will be correct. Got a scary and nrevous feeling when I think about it. Don't like it at all.

Better get ready to catch the bus. I wish a had a car! Of course it would have to be the newest of the newest...

Bad thing about busses: People sneeze and cough and you have to be on time. And do not drive you to your doorstep. Im good about seeing the negative sides... Environment... I'm not going to say I couldn't care less, I'm just going to mention once more, I want a car! I also want a lot of money, designer clothes, expensive watches, gold tub, home theatre, maid, secret vault, chef, personal trainer, home gym, indoor swimming pool, 20 bedrooms. Hi, I'm Mrs Richie Rich.

Hi, I'm Mrs Richie Rich.

At least you don't have to take the bus with the scum of the earth that live in my town (Hicksville, CA. Population: 28 000 Hicks, + me) There's almost always some seriously drunk old guy on the bus ( in the day time. We have a lot of homeless alcoholics, it seems), and then the whole interior has that disgustingly sour smell of liquor. One time a guy was so out of his gourd, he tried to start a fist fight. Luckily he was in slo-mo, and his more sober buddy held him back.

I want a lot of things, too... but I'll settle for this really cute sweater that I want... only it doesn't come in my size, and it might not be available by the time I'm slim enough :d_frown:

I have said I dont have access to a PC mon-fri, but the week to come is the first time that will be correct. Got a scary and nrevous feeling when I think about it. Don't like it at all.

I get the same way. When I'm away from the internet for too long I start to get antsy. Hopefully you will still have plenty of time to update on the weekends!

My brother and I where in a car accident last week, and where let out of the hospital Friday afternoon. I am still recovering, but my left hip and my back are still not okay.

Not much more to tell about last week.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I'm glad you're ok though and hope you recover quickly.

jRS,
Sorry to hear. Get better soon. I need my internet work out partner.

Get healthy.

Thank you neckowi and Nyred.

Hey, look at the bright side, I didn't overeat while in hospital.

Human Clay: We got elederly (')ladies(') and purse/umbrella fights.

Got no plans beside sticking to the doctor's order, and rest today. Not much of an update, this.

My back and hip are better today. Which means, I can sit for longer than 10mins. Yay. Hopefully I can start to exercise light next week. Fitness isn't my biggest concern at the moment, I feel it will be more important to get back to school. According to the doctor it wont be this week.

Since I dont have any updates on workouts, I might as well write about something else. (Ja, I'm bored). First, male nurses are the best thing on the planet. Second, I have started to listen to Celine Dion again. Make fun all you want. This is the deffinite proof of my broad taste of music. Let's see... A third... I'm having a sandwich for lunch. The uncommon fourth, I hate being stuck inside. -Two things Im good at, sleeping and complaining. Applaus, applaus.

So... .... ... Maybe I should do a top-three list again (probably only interesting for me).
Wanna-visit-countries:
1) Peru (the Inkas)
2) Thailand (the heat)
3) North Pole (okay, so it's not a country)
Wanna-learn-to-play (instrument):
1) Piano
2) Guitar
3) None
Want-to-eat:
1) Bread, brown cheese
2) Hamburger (XL)
3) Pain killers
Want-to-drink:
1) Alcohol (for pain)
2) Orange juice
3) Water
Want-to-buy:
1) Car
2) Clothes
3) A (cute) doctor
My favorite letter at the time: S
Why? Cute fellow
Is he available? No
(100% sure? Yes)
Things I could live without:
Illness, accidents, period. Why? Too obvious.

I'll end it now. Time to see if it's 12pm (lunch time). If it is, I wont go on writing like this, if it isnt, I'll be back (stop wining).

Mandy Moore look like a Sim.

This is not good. I have a fever. It would not be fair if I cought the flu right now. Running nose and coughing too. Back to bed.

Yes, got the flu. Atleast it seems to be a mild version.

I have to save up 2200 USD before December. My brother has invited me to NZ - invited but not paying. I was looking over where I can save and if I can make some extra money. It is possible, but it's not gonna be too fun. Right now my money barely cover the rent, food and school.

Beautiful autumn weather today. It's sunny, and the seasonal changes are stunnigly beautiful. Of course I'm sad that another incredible summer has past, and it's getting colder. I miss swimming in mountain lakes :d_frown: A year till next time :d_frown:

My back is better, my hip is still not 100% and my head, well I got the flu now, so it doesn't feel to well.

I think I had to big expectations to Sims2. Even tho it's fun when they snuggle (this is when I need to say I got a life..), it's not fun enough to spend more than 30mins on the game. I have a lot of spare time now, so that's no good.

A *wow!* looking guy hit on me when I was grocery shopping today. I've met him before, but this time he asked me out - when I got well, he said. I feel like crap when I'm sick so I didn't see this coming. His name is Erik, BTW. Okay, I have to put a smiley in here :) Oh, he plays volleyball too. Are they all handsome?

I feel bad for my dog. I haven't been able to give him some exercise when I have been ill, and he is getting restless.


Looking forward to getting well...

Woah! :eek:
Lee Davy (look at his upper abs!), Annette Milbers, Unknown, Sheri Vucick and :drool: Sinta (Something)

Last but not least...Brenda Kirkpatrick (http://www.gymbum.com). I don't remember the last time I went out to the barn, opened my shirt and flexed my abs. She looks incredible. And look at the mountains in the back. Incredible too.

Makes me wanna be fit... :o

I don't remember the last time I went out to the barn, opened my shirt and flexed my abs.
I need to get myself a barn before I can do that.

Oh, I need to get visible abs, too.

Yea... always something that gets in the way huh... :( :p

I'm nuts...haha :rolleyes: ...j/k. I ate a lot of nuts last night. -but all in all it was a good eating day. I'm eating a little less now that I dont exercise.

I'm feeling well enough to go for a light walk today. I have to take it step by step after the accident, but hopefully it wont take to long.

The Beatles are on Kanal 94 :claplow: (I listen to the Beatles and Elvis from time to time :o ) Net Radio is great.

:spaz:

Didn't mean anything I just felt like using that smiley today...

Wow, Sinta Soekadarova. She is amazingly beautiful.

"Sinta personifies an ultimate blend of beauty, fitness and health, achieved via a "Holistic Lifestyle". She has captured through rigorous training and exercise, a harmonious mix of artistic creativity and athletic versatility. Sinta is not just about beauty, but about daring to be your best physically, spiritually and emotionally."

:eek: "Show some modesty"... :cool:

Who am I kidding, I'm not doing well with my eating. Hmm.

I found this list of reasons why one overeat:
1) (Scandinavians; translate hygge or kos?) We are tought to use food for pleasure. This can get out of hand and become a bad habit.
2) Comfort. Use it as a substitute.
3) Entertainment. A past time when you are bored.
4) Protection. Not wanting too much attention.
5) Excuse for not doing anything about something.
6) Distraction from something under laying (i.e. bad marriage). You are just parking you problems in your eating (Englsih is not my mother tongue...)
7) (Bedøvelse?) A longing for a more exciting life.
8) Punishment. Dont deserve anything but being fat.

Sounds right. Check :confused:

Anyway... I went for a walk yesterday, and it wasn't to painful. I'll try to get out today, too.

Sunday. Another week without the computer... :d_frown:

This is just insane. First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to get an appointment with a psychotherapist and get some help with my eating! Maybe it's just my lack of disiplin. I'll leave that to her/him to decide.

Do you know a good psychotherapist? Make an appointment for me too. I struggled for an hour earlier, thinking "I'm hungry" but refusing to eat because I remembered eating approximately "enough" calories for today (I don't actually track them), so I was convinced that the hunger was a false hunger. A slap to the side of my head and I decided to eat some real food to get rid of the stomach rumbling.

Your list is helpful. That's something to print out and put on the fridge as a checklist before snacking.

You are right! I have put it on my fridge.

I couldn't get an appoinment until next week. I hope they can help me.
Monday and Tuesday went well - but not today. :mad:

I'm sleeping at a friends apartment at the moment. At the last place I lived there was a fight almost every night, and it got worse and worse. I didn't find it amusing to be robbed, threaten to get beaten up, drinking and drugs and all the yelling, and the b!tchy girls... Who on earth do they think they are? I'm not sure if I should tell you this, but they use to mug kids to get money to buy clothes, jewelry etc. Sweet girls, huh?.. I reeeally don't get why I didn't find it funny when they chased a girl thru a grave yard at night... How can people behave like this??

I'm getting better after the accident. Today I went for a longer and a little more strenous walk. I still get sick tho, and have had to leave school early all days this week.

Now excuse me while I go dig for more food in the fridge (not hungry...) Evenings are a pain in the ass...

I did some lifting today! :claphigh:
(Nothing spectacular tho...)
8 minute warm up
1x15 reps squats
1x15 deadlifts
1x15 cable pull down
1x15 rowing
1x15 arnold press
1x15 biceps
1x15 triceps
1x15 bench press incline
15 mins light cardio (stationary bike)
It's a step up from not being able to pee! (Bed bound the first couple of days).
...
I was working on my reply and then we had some one over...
Back to business:
Where was I...
I ate Haribo's, 2 Meller Chocolate/Caramel :drool: , 3 boxes of Mynthon :drool: , 1 large box of sugarfreesweets...
...
I was thinking I might post new pictures in a month. And here's the plan:
M: Weights
T: Running 30 min threadmill
W: Weights
T: Running 30 min threadmill
F: Weights
Weekend: ?
I'll post my stats tomorrow if I get the time.
One important note: next week I got one week vacation and am going to London. I don't think I'll bother with the clean eating while I'm there. It's too much hassle. I'll still go to the gym.
The plan as seen above wont be to strenous so I will keep my calories around 1400. Have some faith in me. I'll make this happen. And it wont be "my life is going to change 180 on October 7th at 22.38 sharp"... I know I should do it first and then post the plan... I'm obviously a female... You know what I heard? That women are programmed to eat fatty food to be able to survive and reproduce even in rough times. I just wish He deprogrammed us when we moved out of those caves :rolleyes:

Anyone seen Queen Rania and Crown Princess Letizia lately? They will disappear soon! :eek:

Got some homework to get on to... I've postponed it long enough. 4 1/2 hours since I got out my books :whistle:

Meow! Kitty is here :) Purring and happy as always :)

Had my legs waxed today... Man, that hurt! And plucking the eye brows... :spaz: Why oh why do I go thru it?! No one should ever consider homo sapiens to be smart... well, of course we got those Nasa people and Nobel Prize in Medicine winners... Who cares! We hurt our self - and pay for it!

I obviously forgot the invention of the wheel...
(nah..such a minor detail...)

I haven't had any problems with my eating today. I was at the gym and got some lifting and cardio in. Besides my forearm being sore from playing PC games, I have nothing to complain about. Except, maybe, that I have been studying most of today.

Saturday: 1621kcal: 24/47/28 f:c: p or 42g f (18g from fac), 203g c, 111g p. Meat: Chicken.
I went a little crazy with oatmeal and milk... :drool:

I hate packing. I always leave it to the last minute. ...I'm sure they have clothing stores and sell tooth brushes in Britain... :confused: Could any British people verify this?... Packing is boooring!

Sunday: 1444 kcal: 26/43/31 f/c/p - 40f/166c/109p
Exercise: Hiking 1 hour

This is kind of freaky: there are two huge piles of chocolate, chips and cookie containers and bowles and plates, a half eaten muffin, and ice cream paper on the side of the computer. And it ain't mine :tucool:

I was seeing a physical therapist this morning and was at a check up at the hospital. Everything seemed to be fine. :)

I realized, late last night, that I was reading the wrong book for a test I have in school. I just figured the reason I didn't know any of it was because I have been away from school a lot lately. I wish I would have noticed sooner :confused:

So many people say they have a problem sleeping. I can't relate at all. Hope I will catch my flight tomorrow. And the bus to the airport. I wish I was good at pulling allnighters or liked coffee or didn't need an elephant to sit on me to wake up. And that I was morning person. That would help.

I'm addicted to the Sims once again. But it is NOT fun when they grow old and resign from their work. And I really dont like the crying babies. The fancy mansions are alright tho.

Appetite: Still abnormaly high. Ate 1585 kcals today. Exercise: Light lifting and light cardio - all together about 50 minutes.

There may not seem to be much point in posting the following, but it's a character feature: I haven't started packing yet. :whistle:
Nothing... Not even a pair of socks... I'm leaving around 8 tomorrow morning... I have known this for two weeks, but still haven't gotten to it...
"I guess I like to postpone things, she realized in wonder."

I need sleep! :rolleyes:

Once upon a time there was a girl (/princess.. :o ) who couldn't find her passport.

She had been looking high and low, under the bed, in the freezer and even under the junk in the top drawer in the dark wood dresser with a Mickey Mouse sticker on it by the window of her bedroom...

Seriously, why do these things vanish??

I had a lovely time in London! Except there were more booze than barbells :p
My friend had big the English Breakfast. For people who know what a English Breakfast means, that sounds pretty fatty and pretty un-eatable..

I'm broke. If I wasn't cheating off my dad I'd be living on the street.

This Saturday was baaad... :o First we had the Gourmet Breakfast Bouffet, airport snacks (snickers etc), my cousin made us dinner, evening out, a little snacking in front of the computer. Lol, feels like I'm not even trying to be healthy.

My cat has gone missing. Hope she will get back soon or she'll have me worried :d_frown:


I deleted the 8 PM post. I swear Mads said 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm not that stupid. :rolleyes: Electronic tickets and one receipt, and he had the receipt. There was no way I would have known he was wrong.

Night.

I wish my life would slow down a little... I stayed up all night to finish some assignments for school. Around 6am I figured I couldn't do it anymore so I went for a cup of coffee. I knew I didn't like coffee, but I thought I could make myself drink it. No such luck. I felt like barfing for 45mins and then fell asleep. Slept till 1pm, sleepy till 6pm. Lesson learned, allnighters doesn't work for me, coffee tastes like sh!t.

Studying carpentry, from books, is not easy and not fun.

I'm moving, once again, tomorrow. Hopefully I'll make it to the gym three times. But I wouldn't count my luck.
This is a temporary arrangement.

Cat is back.

I hate bills. I got a 2000 DKK one. My bank account: 100 DKK.

I'm addicted to the Sims. From 1pm till now, that's all I've been doing.
Why is it that I make them work out and study?

Two birthdays this week. Carrot sticks and cottage cheese?

Kcal: 1600
Exercise: Sunday - day off.

It's 4 am and I just had breakfast, or whatever you call eating in the middle of the night. Too bad about the sleep, now who needs it :confused: That's right. Repetition of last night, only this time I got school to go to.

Since I didn't get any sleep and, at the moment, is reasonable awake I'm going to work out before school (if I'm tired now, it's nothing compared to how my afternoon is going to be like).

It sucks I can never look like this :(

Hah! I didn't fall asleep before school!

Ferries
The first time in years I've been on a car ferrie (?) and the engine breaks down! Whats the chances. We were stuck on it for 2 1/2 hours. That's a loooong time... Funny thing is I got started on my homework. :cool: You probably don't know me too well, but when I say, me/I and homework in the same sentence, it should be enough to knock you off your chair. Now don't think I'm proud of this.

Midnight
Yes, you are correct, my friend. I should be in bed. I think I'm slightly rebellious. Everything I should be doing are things I wont be doing. Or maybe it's just that I fell asleep this afternoon and had good five hours of deep and peaceful sleep, in a very quiet room, with what seemed to be a monister garden outside the big windows, and the sound of calmly running water, and with perfect temperature and lighting. I slept like a baby. This will be my meadow and old oak from now on ---bye~bye bad dreams.

How did the English Patient end?

I'll try to edit spelling errors or look them up before I post the next time.

Dang, I like that picture of Brad Pitt! And dang is he cute!

Tuesday:
Exercise: I was doing my old weight routine again for the first time since the car accident. Cardio has to be classified as light. HR around 130-140.
Nutrition: Very acceptable day. Had a muffin.


I fell asleep around 7.30 last night and slept to 5.15 this morning. Feel fully rested! Thank goodness I didn't wake up around midnight and couldn't get back to sleep.

Math test today. I'm screwed.

Weather
We haven't been below zero yet, but it's like living in a freezer.

I ate three chocolate covered gummie bears, 2 tiny chocolates filled with caramel, and 4 sweets. Excuse: Birthday coming up and they were making goodie bags. Very tasty left overs, I must say.

I'm not sure if I will get any exercise in today because I might have to work tonight. Maybe afterwards, if it wont get to late. I have to be available if they need me, so I cant go to the gym. At least this doesn't happen often.

I'm really getting into school at the moment (...today). I'm actually dreaming of studying geography or architecture.

I love cottage cheece yoghurt.

Left overs from CANDY?!? Whatnow...that's gotta be wrong...

Left overs from goodie bags.. :nod:

I stepped on the scale today and it first said Lo, which could mean lost, as in you've lost weight, then I found some new batteries and it said 18888, that couldn't be true, finally I got 63,8 kg (and I double checked). Aiming for 63,3 by next Thursday.

-danish pastry, jellow & vanilla sauce (King Size), 3 pizza slices, chocolate cake.
Very yummy while eating it, but I feel uncomfortably full now... It was my closest friend's birthday, so we were all pigging out (see, I always got an excuse). *burp*, sorry (j/k).
Weight training and 20min cardio today. I need heavier squats. Couldn't lift a single pound more on tri and shoulders.
School was fun today. AND I showed up on time (I was pretty close to miss the bus, fortunately I'm quick as lightning!... :cool: )
Met one of the players on the national football team today! He was handsome!

I am going to spend tomorrow outside. I have planned to make a 'gapahuk' - shelter/hut of branches... (I'll post a picture tomorrow night). I wanted to do it tonight so I could get to sleep in it, and to build a fire infront to keep me warm. Autumn is great and I really want to try it before winter comes. Surviving tecniques/how to fix things/MacGyver facts - I really love learning these things!

I'm enjoying some home made pie tonight. Very good!

Eating: Gone very well! (minus the pie...)
Exercising: Been incredibly sleepy today. Fell asleep 8p last night, slept to 7a, and fell asleep again around noon to 3p. Wouldn't dream of skipping mon/wed/fri lifting workouts tho!! :db: Cardio is boring...

Back to studying for a written tool/constructing test I have on Monday. Or maybe I should watch some tv? :confused: Yup, that's easier. I like no-brain activities... No Jamie Oliver for me.

I now know why the salami I have on my bread is so addictive, 37% fat...

My friend had made some incredible fried cookie thingies this afternoon, and I think I chowed down 4 or 5 :rolleyes: They were as big as my fist.

I have gained weight after I stopped running in late august. I haven't stopped weight training, but needless to say I've gained fat and weight.

This is a lousy picture from yesterday, but you get the idea. Not really what we are building at school, so don't worry. I'm more talented with an electric drill. Made a camp fire by the river, but the picture is bad. Had permission to build this. Even tho it doesn't look too long, there was more than enough room for me (felt this had to be mentioned).

A last note: I'm going test-driving tonight!! (one step closer to that Jeep I so badly want :lol: )

"Even tho you look like a model( :) ), you can't have everything you're way!" She was mad at me, but c'mon, that didn't do anything but to boost my ego :cool: -I apologize, I'm sometimes wrong. This time I was way off... Oops... My mistake. -Of course I'll never tell her this...

Diet and exercise: Who knew I had it in me?.. :cool:

Driving: I need more practice. One time wasn't enough.
I seem to remember learning to ride a bicycle happened in one day :confused:

If anyone reads this and knows..: Will ovenbaked chicken breasts be eatable after beeing stored in my locker for 6 hours? And before that, being stored in the fridge for 10h?..

I have tomorrow off. Allow me to put a smiley in here: :)

I'm a baaaad driver. I wonder if they'll ever let me drive again. "You could have killed us!!!" Yah, I understand what that means, and that it's serious... Maybe I should test drive on an old shut down airport. Atleast the first five years...
-This was not fun :d_frown:

Tonight I am attemting to make ovenbaked chicken. Pre-heat the oven, set the timer. I have got to be the only one who can turn this in to something uneatable.

Exercise: HIIT Cardio.
Diet: 1400/1500. I found a way to get down cottage cheece. Amazing.

Friday -at last - tomorrow.

I had my cheat meal on Friday night. 800-900kcal. Ended up at 2160. I feel bloated. It wasn't scheduled till Saturday, but I was working from 5a to 6p, and I felt pretty tired when I was done.
I tried to get my weight lifting in, but by the time I came home I was so tired I just stumbled into bed. Didn't get enough water either. And no vegetables.

I actually did get 20mins in the gym during my lunch break. (Enough for a quick warm up and some squats and deadlifts, and two back exercises...).
(I had a 50 min lunch break. Ten minutes each way to and from the gym. Change, shower).

My gym is really crowded on Friday's. I hate when you have to wait to use free weights... and good luck on getting to use the cardio equipment.

Exercise: HIIT

I usually only eat one meal with meat during the day. The only meat I got right now is ham. 12% fat and 175 kcal /100g. Not too bad and not too good.

Chicken can be stored in one's locker (not above 25 degrees C...) for six hours. Well, I'm still not 100% sure, but the first 24h past without any complications... (they say it takes 24-48h).. fingers crossed.

Exercise: HIIT (only 20 minutes)
Diet: 1400 kcal

People are sitting downstairs and eating fries... ah the smell...

I have a weird craving for Laban seigmenn right now... Added to candy-I-am-going-to-buy-in-a-month list (reward).

I have pretty much been doing nothing but sleeping today, so I didn't want to go higher on the kcal. Wonder how I am going to fall asleep tonight?

The smell...

I wish I could live here (http://www.lake-tekapo-apartment.co.nz/)!!

Or go on vacation here (http://www.villabatubali.com/)

...ith junk... etc...

How can anyone make a song about a dragonfly??

Inspired by the recent election, I have created a slogan for myself
-Runa loves tuna
Even tho that's a lie it's better than eat sugar or die.

Nice relaxing day today. Ready for heavy (in the eyes of the beholder) lifting tomorrow. Exercising is fun! Fun I tell ya!! Fun!!! -Better get my bag ready so I'll get it over with right after school.

It's almost 5.30a and I have to be up. Fell asleep around 3a. This is going to be a loooong day...

chocolate covered gummie bears

There is such a thing? :drool:

1350kcal
HIIT 20mins (on an empty stomach!)
Abs

The pain in my right hip is back.It makes me crazy! Darn painful! :mad:

Saturday: A LOT of food. Pie, chocolate, muffins, L baguette with thick layer of butter and cheece.

Long day tomorrow. Getting late. No way I'll get more than 4 1/2h of sleep. Not tired. Will be tomorrow. That bloody hip pain. Arg.

Planning to buy a salad during lunch break at school. It's so I will eat some veggies through out a day. Just for the record, that wont be all I'll eat for lunch.

Work tomorrow. Test on Tue. Test on Wed. Test on Fri. Vocational education my ... no way around all the academic stuff. I don't get trigonometry and natural science. I get natural science but I don't remember and understand formulas. Practice makes perfect. Yah, well... I sat over my books for hours yesterday, but it's still all greek.

Slept in big time. Didnt arrive at school until 12p :o

Exercise: Weights. Didn't have time to work my chest. 20 min on the cross trainer (light).
Food: Expecting it to come up around 1300-1400. If I don't fall for the temptation and eat that lovely fresh baked pizza that smells like ... like wow. No. No. No. (it's Monday, how cruel can people be to buy pizza on the first day of the week). Ahh pizza... yummy, yummy pizza... pizza... I can finish an entire pizza all by myself. No 'assistance' needed, thanks. I used to get real mean when I was a kid and somebody took slices of my pizza (yes, ate a whole one). Nice memories :p Then we'd go and buy a truckload of candy and an ice cream, and a little later a hot dog as midnight snack. Thinking back at the times... the good times... Kids have a wonderful metabolism.

Pizzas - as in plural. Can't sit here and wait till they finnish it. Chances are there are plenty left when they're done. I'm afraid I'll end up enjoying it with my feet up, watching tv, after spent 1-2h trying hard not to eat it.

Naw, not really. Nothing in your post was wrong, as long as you don't have too much spare time on your hands to find weird sounding sentences.

I think your grammar skills are just fine. No need to sweat girl.

...and by the way, when are we going to get update pictures of your beautiful body?

I've already tried to hire you as my trainer, but you seem to have great skills to be a motivator. :nod:

I've slept in all days this week. :mad:

Better go for a jog before it gets dark. Changed it around today cos my dog seemed extremely eager to get some real exercise (real meaning faster than walking).


BTW, I ate two slices...

I've already tried to hire you as my trainer, but you seem to have great skills to be a motivator. :nod:
I have told you, if you give me a good enough business proposal, I'll come down and train you. I'll even yell at you, for free.

I may be a good motivator (I make guava blush), but I need to get a beautiful body before I can really put that into play.

...and you never did answer my question, my friend.

I don't know... Christmas?

Thursday:
Lifting and 30 mins on the cross trainer. Didn't work my abs.
Food: a little less out of control than yesterday

I don't like meat anymore. I just cant eat it. I felt like I was gonna hurl when I tasted salmon again last night. Chicken is harder to prepare and is more expensive. I've opened a few packs of chicken and it smelled weird. Didn't dare to eat it. And remember salmonella... (Not the way I wanna lose weight..)


I'm in Norway now and it's pouring down. It feels like you get a bucket of water over you just by sticking your head out the door. On top of that it's pretty cold (never ever happens in Denmark...ever...).

I'm taking Friday off (school) to spend a weekend up here. I love how relaxing this place makes me feel.
Did you know that Norwegian milk is the best tasting? I haven't been here long but I have already had a carton of milk and yoghurts - pl. They say it has something to do with what you feed the cows. And what you feed the cows has something to do with how you grow and fertilize the gras. And the fact that many of them are spending summer in the mountains (I'm jealous).

Anything more you want to know about cows?... :p

I miss a good night's sleep. I cant blame it on jet lag if I'm tired tomorrow morning..

I better get to bed.
Who am I kidding.
I wont fall asleep without OD'ing on sleeping pills (which I don't plan to do).

MFP (My Future Profession):
1) Architect?
2) Carpenter?
3) Whatever-people-with-Geography-education-do?
4) Farmer?
None of them are too realistic :confused:
1) In school for what, the next 50 years?
2) Better show up to school more often..
3) I don't really know what they do, but it has something to do with Geography. I'm gonna need a Uni degree tho.. Problem? Yes.
4) Get up early in the morning? Riiiight...
I wanna be a doctor too, but that's highly unlikely..to say the least.

Has anyone seen the German Ironman winner? Nina Kraft or something. She's strooong! (sure the EPO helped)

Hmm..this is going to be one the post I will want to delete later..Strange enough I haven't done that yet.

Exrecise Sat: Weights. DB only.
Sun: HIIT

A little cheating...3 slices of pizza, 1 chocolate bar, 1 Mynthon Fruit Mint.

Mon: Weights
Tue: Running 30mins

Exercise: It was great with a run today. Wonderful way to releave stress. Hopefully it will also make me sleep well tonight.

Food: It's impossible to avoid temptations. Pie again tonight.

Life: Last week was horrible - may this one be better.

^
I ............Didn't eat pie.

Lifting and 25 mins on the cross trainer.

My dad's new wife is moody today (and every other day I see her). She's the control freak. Makes his last wife (my mom) seem (somewhat) okay. No, change that, identical.
HIIT today (on an empty* stomach)

*Ate about 2200 kcal yesterday. Most of it after 9p.

How to start an entry about eating for five people...
Well... Maybe I should start with "I'm not hungry right now". A lot of truth in that. Yes, indeed. Steak with more, cake, chips, alcohol..sounds like any other healthy diet. One portion? - shakes head. It has been a really good week, then Friday comes, no stress or chores or school the next days. And THAT messes me up..

:drool: (wouldn't be food without the meat tho)
(Hellish expensive :d_frown: )

Yesterday: Cardio (HIIT)
Monday (today): Running 45 mins

Ate a little bit...okay a lot, Sunday night. What are ya supposed to do when watching very good, and scary movies. You need snacks! (no, you don't. But you sure crave it). Action, thrillers, comedies..and hunks :claphigh: Padadapa'da I'm looovin' it

The weather outside is great. It's winter, be sure do be properly dressed and be careful when driving on the slippery roads. Skiing season! (not snowboarding anymore - broke my arm (nothing serious) but it's not something I want to do again).
...I bet the snow will rain away soon. I dont like the in-between, either snow or nothing at all, not the wet mush that splashes when cars drive past you or you are waiting to cross the road or walking on the sidewalk or slipping in (never happened).

The snow mud (?..) has taken over. Ancle deep and impossible to avoid. 4 pairs of socks so far today. :d_frown:

Lifting today. DB triceps is rough! Didn't have the time to get any cardio in. Closing in on 20 pounds in biceps and shoulder (DB, incline) :flex:

Everybody at school is ill, my family is ill, the girl I live with is ill, everybody one bus are coughing...trying to avoid people coughing and sneezing in my face, taking multi vitamins and fatty acid complex. It's the same all thru winter - every winter (and spring and autumn... :( ).

Had a nice 7 miles run today.
Off to Norway for a sheep's head fest tomorrow.
Cheat so far this week: Mentos, Meller, Bag of Fruit Gum Crocs. Sugarfree pastilles not included. Lackerol in particular, is yummy.
Essay's to write and tests to read for tonight. Maybe it wasn't to bad I fell asleep for an hour this afternoon/evening - as I've done every night this week. Strange thing is it hasn't interfered with falling asleep at night.
I got an ear ache in my left ear and my throat feels kind of weird. Bet I am coming down with something. Probably wont help that somw of the people I'm staying with in Norway is having severe colds - I will be rooming with two of these.

jRS,
what happened to you?

You're journal seems to have stopped about the same time I stoppped working out.

I've started again.

Hi! Noticed you're entry here as I was searching for guava's journal (got to keep updated on her and Bluestreak). I'm still to be found around here, although not as much as I used to. This weekend has been an exception. I had to finish a school paper :( I've written seven pages, and read through about a million books. So boring you wouldn't believe it.
I'm glad you've started to exercise again! You had some nice progress, I seem to remember. I hope you stay at it this time. Key to success :flex:
Ugh, Monday tomorrow. Hope you'll have a nice week! GL on you're fitness!
Best wishes

In fact, I 've lost 10 pounds. I joined a gym and am swimming about 2-days a week.

You?

10 pounds? Congrats!

I'm working out 3-5 days a week at the (crowded *mad*) gym and playing badminton two days a week, and cayaking about 5h a week and running (or walking or whatever...) orienteering once a week (season barely started). I'm currently weighing 58kg (about 125-130lbs), so I've dropped a little:) And feel quite comfortable at this weight:)
