Yesterday I went over to a friend and watched Eurovision song contest (be glad Americans you do not have to watch it). Anyway, the h´whole family were bunking up with French bread and all kinds of spread, and ofcourse carrot cake (I loove) :p. And I brought my own evening-snack box. Anyway I told them that you might find me boring, not giving in tou your cravings, but I’ve never felt this physically good in my life. I mean it. And I’m amazed. 4 weeks of non-stop clean eating, and I feel great. I never knew food could have that effect on you, not that fast anyway. Now I just fear how the fall will go, moving back to my own place, to my old habits. To my terrible schools lunch :/. I just hope I’ll be strong enough, and want it enough..

Besides, I put on my old jeans yesterday (wich broke last winter) but my mom put a slip over the holw, and I had nothing else to wear, and they fitted! I didn’t even have to draw in my stomach.. I can’t remember the last time they fitted like that, I think I bought them too thight :p

I’ve quoted it before, but now is the first time I truly think I understand it’s meaning:
“Fat burns in the flame of desire!”

Did a recheck on my stats today! I’ve lost 3,5 percentage points of fat in 4 weeks. 7 percentage points since february. Yes, I am proud of myself. And I should be, I’ve worked really hard! That is why I’m writing it down here, because I feel the need to tell the world! I seriously have never felt this feeling before, the feeling of self-achievment! My PT hardly believed it, so we had to measure it twice

And yes, I know that it won’t go this fast from now, but as long as I’m on the right way, I know I’ll get there someday.. It’s alright to stop and rest, but never to turn back!

Goodluck to all of you out there! If I can, you can. (I’m not that special:p)

Cold outside, about 45 degrees Fahrenheit, but it’s raining, and it’s completely grey. The sun hasn’t even shun for a second today. I wwent for my morning walk but since then I’ve just been inside watching TV. It’s terrible what the weather can do to you. It’s been the same all week for me, except yesterday when the sun actually came out from it’s clouds for a second.. It really gets you down..

Anyway, day 20, of the 84 day diet today! I’m actually amazed how well it’s gone! Not that I’ve lost much weight but still I’m eating the same food practically everyday and I don’t even miss eating normal. My friend asked me what I miss the most, I said chocolate, not that I really do. But when I later thaught about it I miss fruit most. Hah, I know I’m allowed to eat fruit, but I only have bananas on my program, and I really miss just taking one fruit, any fruit, and eat it, whenever I want. Especielly when summer comes, it will be really hard. Fruits are truly expensive here wintertime, and there are all kind of bad. No fresh ones. And berries, that I cannot go one summer without, so when the season hits in, I’ll just have to use my imagination and make good adjustments in my program.
But still, the point was, that I’m really surprised that I don’t miss food more. Surprised, and thankful

Still.. Terrible weather! :/

Guess what! Yesterday I learnd how to make yourself look thin using photoshop, so now my life is fulfilled and I do not need to be on a diet anymore.. Haha, joking apart. I did learn but still, you have to weight your food and count your calories

So far so good, no cheating, not even although we had new-baked sugardonuts at work (I didn’t take one) but they smelled so heavenly :/

The workout is getting better, after some hours with my PT I’m really starting to learn how to really squeeze and feel what muscels that are actually working. But I have a long way to go to really manage it

You might believe that I would hate muscle training, I mean for someone like me, who always had it very easy for everything (get good grades without opening a book etc.), that I would hate actually having to work my ass off to even know what muscels I’m training and really having to watch my food not to gain 20 lb (which I will if i eat one piece of chokolate), but I don’t. I love it, I love the fact that I’m not so great at it, but still doing it. That is what some people call "the more to life".

Yeupp, I know the meaning of life, and that is to have goals and achieve them!
