What a great day!

Monday, April 06, 2009

First of all, I have to say that I feel a million times better now that I'm back on the right track! Getting started always is the most difficult part but I really feel like I'm getting there. I had just a little over 1200 calories today and met my nutritional goals for protein and fat too. I'm so happy! I walked to school and went shopping afterwards so I must've been on my feet for over 60 minutes. I was supposed to work out today but I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. I have a little fever and I'm freezing so I didn't want to take the risk of getting even sicker because of working out. But I gotta say I feel amazing. I know I can do this now! I'll get down to 130 pounds before I even know it! I want to be healthy and fit again.

Okay everyone, I'm off to bed now! Ciao!

Off to school

Monday, April 06, 2009

Good morning everyone!

It's 9.10 am here and I'm off to school in a minute. But not before having breakfast though! I'll have some plain yogurt with berries, water and green tea. I don't feel like eating much in the mornings but I know it's healthy to have at least something to get your metabolism working! Besides, I don't want to feel tired during my morning classes.

I was so tired this morning I could barely keep my eyes open. But I feel a lot better now! I'm excited about today. It'll be full of healthy choices and steps towards my goal. I'll ask a friend of mine to take a walk with me later today. It's so much fun to have someone to walk (and talk!) with.

I better go now or I'll be late. I'll have my vitamins and calcium supplements before I go! I want my body to get all the healthy things it needs.

(By the way, I always get really nauseous when I take my multivitamins. Does this ever happen to you?)

Have a great day everyone!



(Me right now trying to stay awake! Haha!)

I try not to take any pills on an empty stomach becuase it cann cause problems. So, eat something first, then take your vitamins so that's not all that's there to digest. Breakfast keeps your body going so you don't lose focus later in the morning! Report Inappropriate Comment

A relaxing Sunday

Sunday, April 05, 2009

Today was such a lovely, relaxing day. I got back on track, had a great time with my baby, made healthy veggie soup for dinner and just enjoyed myself. Now I better get ready for bed - school starts at 10 am tomorrow morning. Back to the usual routines! Easter is right around the corner already though and I got at least Good Friday off - maybe even Thursday as well! We'll see. Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Sweet dreams everyone!



That's me earlier today. I took picture's of today's outfit but I didn't have time to upload them on the laptop. Maybe I'll just post them tomorrow - or maybe not!

Sleep tight!

I'm glad you had a relaxing day! (Mine was filled with crazy family, so I'm super super jealous!) I'm sure school will go well, have a good Monday tomorrow :D Report Inappropriate Comment

That's it. I've had enough!

Sunday, April 05, 2009

So here's the deal: I woke up today feeling a bit hungry. My boyfriend T made breakfast (baguette with cheese and red peppers & chocolate cereal with nonfat milk). Before I knew it, I was eating the leftover chocolate from last night (yes, I had chocolate) and some liquorice candy while watching TV. And then it hit me like never before.

I
HAVE
TO
STOP
THIS.

It was like I suddenly woke up from this haze I've been living in for the last few weeks and realized that I seriously can't keep this up without gaining weight. It's the reality of this situation. I think I've been avoiding the thought of that and ignoring the consequences of my actions but I no longer can't - and nor do I want to.

The truth is that I am going to gain weight if I keep eating like this. I'm going to feel miserable and my self-esteem and self-confidence will be shattered. I'll have to start over and lose all that weight once again. No, no, no. I am not going to let it get that far. I put away the chocolate and the unhealthy foods that cause me to get cravings and I made a promise to myself.

I am going to be my own best friend from now on.

I am going to take the best care of myself I possibly can. I won't destroy my health and confidence by overeating. THAT'S OVER NOW. I haven't been this confident in my entire life. I refuse to go back to my old ways. I know I have the power to stop that from happening.

Today I'm going to give my body a break. For the rest of the day (it's 2.15 pm here in Finland) I'm going to drink green tea and lots and lots of water and eat nonfat yogurt with fruit and berries. I need that. And I'll also plan ahead for the next few days so it'll be easier for me to stay on the right track.

I'll update again later and let you guys know how I'm doing! And maybe I'll even post a picture of today's outfit! (I love fashion and coming up with different outfits for myself; posting the pictures here is a great idea for me because it inspires me to look my best everyday and take good care of myself!)

I love green tea-great idea! I usually drimk 8 cups of tea a day, also my water! Beats eating mindlessly. Reaching for tea or water helps curb cravings for something else. Most of our cravings are our body's way of asking for water-not food! Report Inappropriate Comment

Saturday, April 04, 2009

That's me today. High heels, skinny jeans, black top and my new long necklace. Working those curves! HA! :)
