Morning quicky!

Good morning to you all!

I had to struggle to get out of bed this morning and still I didn't go to bed too late yesterday!
Must be the fact that it is getting so dark in the mornings, I just want to cocoon myself up in my blankets and sleep all day!

Oh, I decided to liquid fast today because of this weekend's high calorie intake! Wish me luck!

Anyways, though I just answer today's question for you!

Question 6: Have you ever been underweight or overweight?
A: In my opinion, no and yes. Looking at BMI, yes and no. For a short period this spring I had a BMI of 17. Loved it! And that's the BMI I had when I was in my higher teens too. Then something happend during summer (like lots of food and alcohol binges) and I was up WAY more than I've ever been. So yes, I feel that I was overweight.

I don't feel like that anymore though, not all the time at least. Now I'm just enjoying working my way down again.

Post more later!

Blogging

I just have to say that I'm very happy that more and more people are finding my blog and that there's a quite big amount reading it everyday.

Thing is, I'm thinking of adding more pictures of me on here. But I don't know if it's appropriate. I know that I've been posting some pictures when I've been drunk but is that really anything people on here want to see? Make your voices heard. Hardly no one does. If you don't feel comfortable in posting a comment, please mail me at le.mont.blanc@gmail.com

Let me know =)

Damn I'm tired! I feel like I havn't slept all night, although I did! I did go to sleep pretty late though. I spent the night watching documentaries on youtube. Yes, on weight! How did you guess?!

Today has been super hectict! Even though I know that our monday meetings are somewhat important, it still takes away 2 hours of my most efficient time! And today before sending my boss off to China, I felt that I would have needed it. Of course I finished in good time anyway (and still they're firing me!!!). Nah, I understand them though. My post really needs someone full time! But the whole process of looking for a new job is stressing me out!

Food today.... too much! I had a sallad with some salmon, even though I mostly had the sallad, but tonight I met up with my ex for a drink, and unfortunately dinner. The dinner was nice, it was pretty nice meeting him, even though I felt for pity for him. He has gone NOWHERE since we broke up 6 years ago. Well, yes. He now has a job and, oops, a kid! I bet his a good dad, but I'm not surprised that she was an unwelcomed child, bless her heart. For dinner, I had the ceasar sallad with no dressing, but I know I've been over today! Bad bad me! But, tomorrow is another day... right?

Thing is, I think I'm relying way to much on tomorrow! I have to stop cheating all the time! No wonder I'm not losing weight! Tonight we went to this place that has absolutely no healthy food, but hey! That's no excuse! I wasn't even that hungry! Damn damn damn!

Also, I missed Zumba because of work.... failure! I feel even more like a wale today! What you think? Fast tomorrow to make up for it? Break the habit of eating?

Anyone who gets this picture is awesome!!

Oh, I almost forgot! Today's 60 challenge question!

Q5: Is there any specific event you want to lose the weight for?

A: No, not really. Is life an event? Maybe lose enough for the next family gathering to make them notice?

Weekend recap!

I had a wonderful weekend with my family! After work on friday me, my sister and her mum got in a car and drove down to Gothenburg and spend the night on a hotel. The day after we just walked around town doing some shopping. My step-mum got me these really nice winterboots from Art Company, they make really nice shoes with 100% natural rubber soles. Nice, huh? 

Visit the website!

I also found this really nice charcoal grey dress with  a dark brown belt and suede patches on the shoulders, so cute! I wore it for the party later that night when we celebrated the 20th birthday of our cousin. It was really nice.

Bad thing this weekend is that there's been constantly eating! Lunches and then dinner. Gah! I've tried to be good but I'm quite scared to step on the scales tomorrow. I feel like a wale, hopefully it isn't that bad. I havn't eaten anything after 8 o clock at night though. Good on me =) At least I'm sticking to my 60 day challenge promise. 

Day three and four of the 60 day challenge:

Q3: Do you count calories? What is your daily calorie goal/allowance?

A3: Well, this all of you know already! If you can't remember the daily limits, check out my first post.

And as you also know, I've been slipping a bit, but this time around is going to be better! It's just harder when on family trips! 

Q4: Do you work out? How many times a week?

A4: Well, I've finally gotten started. As you know I did yoga and Zumba last week and I'll stick to it. My plan is to do mondays and wednesdays, thursdays if I have the time. =)

Anyways, I'm terribly tired from traveling all day, I'm going to take a bath and go to bed early today!

Fridens lijlor!

60 days challenge uppdate

Having lunch so I have some time to update, why not with the Day 2 question of the 60 days challenge?

Q: What is your MAIN reason for wanting to lose weight?
A: Well, I don't feel comfortable in my own body unless I'm petite. I love looking fragile and I think that all clothes fits better. And as my mum taught me; You can never be too skinny or too rich! Haha

Don't count your chickens before they hatch

Well, looks like I'm not going to get to keep my employment after all... sob... It really makes me sad, yet I understand, they need someone who's there fulltime. At least I don't have to go right away. I have a month period of notice from the time that they've found someone to replace me, or if I find something else. Every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose. Good thing by making me sad is that I don't feel hungry at all this evening.

And, to happier things, I LOVED Zumba, it is so going to be my weekly thing together with power yoga!
Burned about 290 cals if ZumbaCalories is to be trusted.

Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to Gothenburg for the weekend. I don't know if I will have the possibility to update. If not, I'll tell you all about it on sunday night!

Now I have to update my resumé and start looking for a new job... yey...

Aching

As I expected, my body is aching today! I don't mind though, it feels pretty good =)

And today I will Zumba att 19:00, it's gonna be so much fun! I hope I will find it this much fun for a long time but if I know myself right, I know that I will grow tired of it in about a month!


Anyways, I'm finally over my 110's! Maybe now I'll actually get to see some results here!


I feel like I've got lot to cheer about right now! My weight, me getting to keep my job, the work out, my essay got pretty good grades and there was almost 100 readers on here yesterday! That's more then I had ever expected. Don't be shy! Say hi!


Today, again, I had the Shrimp sallad (133 cals) from 7/11, forgot to take a picture though, I'll make sure to do it some other time. Besides that I've so far also had 2 slices of cheese (17 cals) and one clementine (35 cals) Which leaves me with 315 cals left on this beautiful 500 cal day.
I have no clue on what to eat for dinner, and I know that I will be starving after the work out, maybe I'll to as last night and just grab a sallad with some nice toppings. Do you have any good 300 cal dinner recipes, please email them to me!


And while browsing through the blogs I read I found this really cool 60 days challenge. I havn't read through it all but it seems like a lot of fun. You can see it under my page links up on the right!
I totally stole it, but I'm sure she wont mind! What do you think? Is this something you'd enjoy reading about?


I guess this week's challenge is going to be not eating after 9, I know it says 8 in the text but there is no way that would work for me, I get home way to late!


And here's the question for today: 


Q: How tall are you, what do you currently weigh, and what do you hope to weigh after the 60 days? 


A: Well, I'm not tall at all, I'm about 5'3 and right now I'm 109.12 lbs (49.5 kg). I have no clue what my goal weight is actually, this is more of an experiment, we'll see how low it'll go!

From bad to good!

My day started with an emergency meeting at the office (made me miss my first class) where we were told that we were all let go. Major shock! Luckily, it's just for reorganizing the organization so it looks like I'm going to get to keep my job after all. This, of course, they told me later this afternoon - which gave me loads of time to eat a McDonald's cheeseburger (300 cals) because it totally stressed me out.

Hello, emotional eating - welcome to my life!

But! As a new part of my regime, I actually worked out today. Power yoga! Man, I'm out of shape. I did manage to keep up, but I was shaking all over and I know that I will have a problem getting out of bed tomorrow morning because of sore muscles. So, I'm counting that cheeseburger as I totally burned the calories after it! How do I know this? Because of this awesome calculator I came across this evening!

Click here for Glamour's Health Calculator

So I burned about 350 cals, and then I had a delicious sallad for dinner with green leafs, tomato/cilantro and mung beans. Yum!

To sum the day up, I did really good! Tomorrow I'll try Zumba for the first time, I hope I like it!

Namaste!

Final day of SGD already?!

I can't believe it's been 30 days already! And I can't believe the lousy results I've gotten!
I havn't had the time to weigh in today, but so far I've been doing good. It's fast day today and I havn't had a single bite! Goody me. It was just now that I felt some hunger and it's almost 7:30. I think I'll do just fine not eating.

Question is, should I give it another go? One more round of SGD with less slips maybe? And more working out? I finally think I will have the time to, especially on mondays on thursdays, and that's always something!

I'm so tired today. I think I've slept around 2,5 hrs tonight. I got this stomach cramp (due to my sensitive gallbladder) so I've was squirming in pain 'til about 6:30 this morning. Yey! I got some rest in the hot tube with some really hot water though.  And now I've just welcomed about 50 people to our office for this informative afterwork (with delicious looking hors-d'oeuvres) and now I'm gonna do my home work for tomorrow.

Ok, so I've decided! Tomorrow I will go on as if it's day three on the SGD, this time I'll get it!

New week, feeling good

I hade such a wonderful light feeling this morning when I woke up! I felt and thought that I looked really skinny today. Didn't have a chance to weight in though because a friend of mine stayed the night. Cosy!

Also, she asked me last night if I had lost any weight because I looked to skinny! Hurray! Maybe my scales actually are lying (As if!)!

Great start of a new week that is! Hope all of you are well too, I'm so happy that so many reads every day! I could never have guessed. Now I have to get to work, and I should probably call my odontologist because I kinda derailed yesterday, with no reason at all! Weird!
