OK, I’ve broken the golden rule of blogging (update every day) for far too long now, but tomorrow I’ll be back to my daily entries again. At least for some days.. because things happen and I’m going to Bulgaria next wednesday. Exciting.
-
It’s been a week since my last update and the reason is because I was very, very tired. So I’ve stayed with my grandma, having a good time and still exercising. I’ve been on three hour walks with my dog almost every day. I’ve been at the gym twice. And I have not been to the candystore at all!  So, I’m good. Just needed to relax a little and take a break from the Internet and my street.
-
Bringing blogging back tomorrow. More is dot coming.

I’m done-diddi-done! My exam went fine and I don’t have another one until august. And you know what that means; almost two months of only dedicating myself to eating right and traning better. Can’t wait!
-
My workout today; 40min spinning
-
After the exam I was supposed to meet my BFF, but something happened. She has a new girlfriend (yes, she’s gay) and I don’t ever hear anything from her no more! You know how it is.. your bestfriend is suddenly in a relationship and it’s like you never existed. Until their first fight that is! So I went home and did some very needed cleaning around the apartement. A little exercise in itself!
-
So, I figured that since school was finished and I’m going to go on long hikingtrips I was gonna treat myself to some new shorts. What’s up with not even the sportstores not even having any size to fit me? That’s crazy! I am not huge! But I really feel that the sizes in clothing are getting smaller and smaller.. not just for me, but in general. I ended up with getting some shorts in the “BiB”-departement.. “Big is beautiful”. not funny, I don’t ever wanna have to buy clothes there again!
-
So for the Pentecost weekend, I’ll visit my grandma and stay with her. I’ve missed her in these past weeks. She’s a little out of the ordinary; she’s really into boxing! And tomorrow is a big night; n o r w e g i a n Cecilia Brækhus, a newly turned boxing pro is having a big fight in Germany. So my grandma is pretty worked up about it and I am too actually! Cecilia is so disciplined and generally a nice person. There was this talkshow on TV a while back and she was a guest. The host told her to hit him in his stomach - she said “no” but the stupid insisted. She did and he did not talk for three minutes. Hitting like a girl, yeah! Now, if she only could meet Laila Ali, that would be fun…!
-
Anyhow, my meals;
M1: 50g oatmeal, 30g proteinpowder, 200g skim milk
M2: 150g apple, 1 proteinbar
M3: bagel w/roastbeef and cottage cheese
M4: 100g chickpea stew, 200g tuna, 30g chili sauce
M5: 200g skim milk, 30g raisins
Calories: approx. 1631

Ok, I talk too much. Your eyes are probably sore and my fingers certainly are from the typing!
Have it good folks!

We celebrated our national day here in N O R W A Y today. So I met my dad early downtown, so that we could watch the childrens parade. All the schools in the city parede around the city and the highlight is of course walking past the kings castle. The royal family stand on the balcony every year winking to the children. I can honestly say that I was a little moved by the kids - they’re so happy and proud. The parade is beautiful! Hurra!
-
My dad and I at last years celebration. He is holding one hot dog in each hand.. in case you wondered.
My sister and me last year. She was a “russ” - the term for people who is graduating. When you’re a “russ” you also get to parade in front of the castle. You see the castle in the background, I was very proud of her!
-
Anyhow - here’s my meals today;
M1: 40g oatmeal, 40g proteinshake
M2: eggsalad
M3: vaffle, strawberries, whipped cream
M4: scampi, rosti potatoes, some spicy sauce
M5: kranse cake (that picture doesn’t do the cake justice!)
M6: 130g apple
M7: 200g skim milk
Calories - I don’t even wanna know!
-
Did not workout at all today - spent the evening doing the last work before me exam tomorrow. When that’s done, I only have one left. That will be nice!
-
Ok. This was taken today.. I don’t even recognize myself now. Who’s that girl?? I think I gained half of those ugly 55 pounds in my face.. that chin and those cheeks have got to go! Not-so-hurra!
-
So long everyone! Have an amazing one! X X O!

Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are going out! (I used to run a celebrity blog and can’t seem to kick the habit… sorry about that!)
-
Today was great. I loaded my iPod with some really intense, hardcore music and went hillwalking. The new music made my feet move faster and I got a great workout. The whole hike took about 90 minutes. Then I did the 8 minute abs program and added some extra stuff to it!
-
My meals today:
M1: 200g strawberry, 100g skim milk, 30g proteinshake
M2: 2 crispbread w/tomato and egg
M3: 125 yoghurt, 10g raisin, 10g walnut
M4: 150g alaskan pollock, 100g potato
M5: 40g proteinshake
M5: 120g apple, 100g skim milk
Calories: 1347
-
So tomorrow I’m going to celebrate our national day; watching the kids parade in front of the kings palace, listening to band music, dress up and lunch with my dad. I think it will be so much fun! It probably could’ve been more fun.. I have this years most important exam on friday (6 hours) and have to be home early to do last-minute studying. (Wanna send a big shout out to my faculty for that!)
-
Once again, thanks for all the support! You are the greatest! Push it to the limit!

I’m in a really bad mood today. I will tell you all "why?" in some paragraphs, but first I would like to say that I beleive in "happy blogs" more than "sappy blogs". I try to maintain a positive attitude at all times, but today the "past" has gotten the best of me.
-
Well, what happened? We have to rewind back to 1998. Boy meets girl, girl falls in love with boy. And breaking up is hard to do.. so after seven years of ups and downs and still not entirely broken up, let’s just say that we’re coming close to the world record in the longest breakups in history.
-
So, last spring we decided that we were too old for this mess. We didn’t just decide it, we realised it as well. And we had the most amazing summer together ever. When we were going biking he told me to put on shorter shorts because "all girls have some cellulite and he loved my legs anyway". If you knew him you’d know that this was a huge compliment. I mean, before that the best thing he could say about me was that "you don’t make much noise when you drink!"
-
So in August, while sitting outside on the balcony he told me "that we needed a break". I was shocked, I cried, he left. But I didn’t take it seriously - how many times had I heard this, even said this? We had been through this before. I decided that I wasn’t going to call him.
-
For the three next months I had the lowest phonebill ever! I didn’t hear from him. But luckily for me grapeseason was late last year and the grapewine wasn’t finished until December. But then I heard it; he had moved to another city and started school there. His dream school. So all that being nice to me, was probably his way of saying "goodbye". Hasta la vista Heartbreakaa! (Or should I say Chupacabra?? )
-
Spin forward to three weeks ago. I was on my way home, checking out my own reflection in the shop windows (my butt looked ok, but the bag around me neck made my silhouette look like a christmas tree!), minding my own buisness, coming closer and closer to home. About 200 feet from my building I see his car, I see the number plate, I see his face. He did not see me. I stopped, turned the other way and started running.
-
Now see, before, there was a shortcut through the park that led to my house from another side. So I ran that way, only to remember that they had rebuilt the city jail (I have a jail in my backyard, romantic, huh?!? Actually, it’s very "city-friendly" and no bother at all!) so the shortcut had been cut so short that it wasn’t existing anymore. I had run in another direction, taking me for a "half marathon" around the whole jail. I was exhausted and not smiling. (When thinking about today, I laugh about it!) I got home "safely".
-
Why was he suddenly on my block? Because his muay thai gym is 30 feet down from my building. I reckoned it was a one time incident. He was probably just in to say “hi” to old workout buddies.
-
Well, no. Today I was standing at the busstop when I noticed his car parked in the street behind me. No boy in sight. (Good thing I didn’t need to run today - becuse after the gym visit yesterday I’m applying for the Word Record in “soreness” as well!) But I was overjoyed when the bus finally came. Exhale. So all of this means that the boy is back for summer. Exhale. And that frustrates me. Exhale.
-
I don’t wanna see him. I have nothing to say to him. I don’t want him asking me how my sister is doing or the dog or nothing, because anything I answered him would be a waste of audible sound. I don’t want to feel like a prisoner in my own area. And because looking good is the best revenge, most of all I don’t want him to see me looking 55 pounds heavier than when he left.
-
So tonight I’ll go to bed, bring my laptop with me and watch the Desperate Housewives episode that ends with Mary Alice saying:
“Yes, each new day in suburbia brings with it a new set of lies. The worst are the ones we tell ourselves right before we fall asleep. We whisper them in the dark, telling ourselves we’re happy, or that he’s happy. That we can change, or that he will change his mind. We persuade ourselves that we can live with our sins, or that we can live without him. Yes, each night before we fall asleep we lie to ourselves in a desperate, desperate hope that come morning - it will all be true.”
Whatever that means.
Yours sincerly,
inmate 0909, NO 63

After my morning cardio today I was gonna jump into the shower, but I noticed that I didn’t have any shampoo left so I had to run down to the store first. I threw on something very pyjama-looking (what’s “matching” anyways??) and ran down.
On my way back from the store…. I saw the finest looking guy I’ve seen this year coming towards me. He was fine! He wasn’t unfamiliar with the gym, I could see that. He wasn’t unfamiliar with dressing nicely either. He wasn’t unfamiliar with good posture neither. (OK, I’ll stop now!) The whole situation reminded me of the scene from that Kelis song “Flashback” (sans le St.Ides of course!):
And that’s when you walked by
Holding your St. Ides
You just brushed right by my side
I swear I got butterflies
-
We passed each other and I tried hard not to look too much at him. Thing is; I felt sweaty and dirty, wore a flee market like attire and my hair was tied up in a knot looking like some very sick and dead palm trees. Not a good look. And while passing him, that’s all I could think about!
-
This is not the point of my little story though! If this was four weeks ago my thoughts would’ve been something like this, “OMIGOD.. I’m so FAT and UGLY and I’ll never get a guy that fine!”. And although I’m still xxl, my point is that I feel so much better! I didn’t talk nasty to myself right away.. my thoughts were kinda rational!
-
Still, I’m must be honest and say that I’m not completely satisfied with my effort. I don’t know, but I feel that I can work a little harder, run a little faster and be a little stronger. So I’m thinking I will use the Olympic motto for myself:
-
Citius - Altius - Fortius (Faster - Higher - Stronger)
-
I need to step my game up. I’m august I’m going to Croatia with my mom and sister and I don’t want to be the fat, unhealthy girl with biggest supply of swimwear cover-ups in the whole of Southern Europe. No way I’m gonna be that girl. So now I’m stepping my game up.
-
So, the gym is next for me. I love working out alone at home where no-one can see me. But I’m thinking; maybe I actually need someone to see me? Maybe that way I will get a little attitude and try harder? Yeah, the side of me that likes to compete screams “yeah!”.I’m gonna do it. And this time the gym membership just won’t be a donation. Neither my body nor my wallet can afford that!
-
P.S: What’s up with celebrities selling out big time these days? First Rachael Ray and the donuts. And now Donald Trump is unveiling a new line of Trump steaks? Trump steaks? That’s doesn’t sound too nice!

Tuesday is my weight in day.. so I did and I’ve lost 2 pounds in the past week. It’s ok considering the fact that I’ve been at my fathers and not done many workouts. But still; I’m feeling it’s going a little slow (compared to other times I’ve dieted).
My sister works really late a couple of times a week, so late that there’s no bus for her to catch home. So she usually comes over to my place to sleep here.. last night we sat up until 2:30… I always wake up before 7 no matter what time I go to bed, so when I woke up today morningcarido wasn’t exactly tempting.
My sis left at ten and I had to go to the postoffice. All morning I craved something.
I live in the immigrant part of the city (I have for 8 years!). I love this part of town and don’t think I ever will move. But with all the diversity, there’s one drawback; cafés with worldwide menus are on every corner!! And between the corners. And when I see dishes I haven’t tasted it’s so tempting to try some.
So I struggled on my walk to the postoffice. Blah. Blah. But I did not give in. However, I did walk past my favorite smoothiecafe and what do I see? They’ve expanded their meny and now they are selling muscle building smoothies - with one scoop of vanilla whey in it!
Thank you! Thank you! I had one with extra ice in it.. went to the park and sat there slurping on it for one hour. Perfect!

(from the concert last night!)
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ve been staying at my dads while writing a 15 page home exam. So I didn’t get much time to play around on the internet.
I delivered my paper at 13:00 yesterday and then the fun times began! My sister and I went to the Beyonce concert…. I’m still speechless from it! OMIGOD! I’ve loved DC and B for over 10 years - and finally I got to see her in concert. She’s flawless, the best entertainer and her band and dancers were amazing! (I know I’m totally childish for this!) In addition, she looks so good.. the only thing I could think about while standing there is how I must workout more!
I’ve been pretty good with the eating while staying at my dads. For breakfast I’ve usually had yoghurt and fruits and oatmeal for lunch. My dad have made delicious dinners; we’ve had salmon and skinless chicken. And on thursday we had spaghetti.. I tried to be aware of portion sizes, knowing that it’s a large amount of carbs in it and all.
The workouts have not been so good. I’ve borrowed my dads bike to take 30mins breaks from the books and just get fresh air. But that’s also about it. So actually it feels really good to wake up in my own house today… the spinning bike is "looking" at me from the other side of the livingroom! So I’ll update on how today went later.
Stay focused and healthy everyone!

I just stepped on the scale… down 2 pounds from last week.
Before I would celebrate anything with food.. but guess what I did? I put on "Bootylicious" by Destiny’s Child and rocked to it. (Next song on the album is "Nasty Girl" - I skipped past that one..haha!)
Got tons on motivation from this!! Have a great day everyone!!

1st; some pictures of inspiration for us all…
   
I LOVE her! I think she’s suck a good Hollywood rolemodel.. compared to some others.
Anyhow.. I had a great day. This morning I met with me dad and we had this 2 hour walk. I tol him that my morningwalks was “workouts”, not strolls… I sort of regret that now. My dad is really tall and when he speeds up his walk, that means that I have to almost run next to him to keep up. So, it was a real workout-walk!
My meals:
M1: 20g proteinshake, 130g apple
M2: 100g cottage cheese, 150g turkey
M3: one serving vegetable soup
M4: 200g mango, 125g yoghurt
M5: I SLIPPED!!! The sun was shining, I went to the park and met some neighbours who were BBQing. I resisted the food.. but they went to the store to get icecream.. and I shared a small bucket of icecream with me neighbour. That makes it 190g. At least the icecream was lowfat: 155 kcal pr. 100g.
M6: 80g roastbeef, 125g yoghurt
Calories: 1892
I can tell myself that I had icecream because it was sunny, had a great time in the park, it was offered me and it’s unpolite to say no etc. But come on! I had decided that I wasn’t gonna have any stuff like that today because I’m having cake at my cousins tomorrow. Great planning and impulse control here!! Well, I vow not to become a repeat offender!!
Stay focused and motivated everyone. I hope the pictures might help a little! Ciao!
