Yesterday I broke my record, I ran 10 Km.
TEN Km!!!!
I am so happy!! But also a bit disappointed, because I thought my weight today would be already 59.something, but it is still on the 60.3. Well, not bad. At least the pasta the other day did not put more weight on myself. Which is great already. Then I am having the period right now. Probably it is a legend, but I have heard that when you have your period you weight slightly more.
However, I don't complain. This week goal I had to reach 60.something and I have reached the goal :) Happy happy!

Today, to prize myself of the results of this week I was thinking of making myself an healthy chocolate mousse. I have found some nice recipe on the net. It is an healthier version that uses avocado, banana and cacao powder. No butter or sugar, for a total of abotu 400 kcal. :) Supernice chocolate mousse, here I come.
 
I did not like very much the avocado chocolate mousse and I believe the reason is the avocado. Call me crazy, but for me it still has too much buttery feeling and I don't really like it. Maybe next time I will use less avocado and 2 bananas in stead.

On the other hand I am very proud of my "behaviour" in the kitchen today. My husband cooked himself tacos and he asked me if I wanted some too. I was tempted to say "yes", but then I thought of how much heavy I would feel afterwards and I said no. I opened the fridge and came up with the best healthier recipe ever. Carrots and cucumber sticks with an italian dip, tomato sauce (only 40 kcal per 100 gr) and ricotta cheese, plus some granulated pepper. Yum. Loved it and I was so pleased I said no to tacos. :)
Later on I am also going to hae a protein bar.

Today's run went a bit...bad. I planned to run 9 kms, but it felt so hard during the last 500 meters that I had to stop. I hated myself for being so weak and walk home, in stead of running as usual. I guess is because I was still tired from yesterday's run. :(
I will push those sad thoughts away and keep positive.
 
60.1... I am so close to break the 50-barrier. Ohhh, I hope I can see the number starting with 5 before my holidays end.
I think one of the biggest mistake is that I am drinking less these days. I was dropping weight faster when I was drinking more. And probably I should also eat more. I am not starving, of course, but the last couple of days I did not have a really steady eating routine (I did not eat 5 times a days and so on. Exited also because I will start the StarCloud challenge today! :)

Hello CloudyMuffin. I did the workout today and I wrote about it in the corrisponding comment.
I can tell that for me it was much more challenging that it looked. Right now I have all the muscles of my torso in sore. I guess it is ok anyway. It means I did push myself.
I am not 100% satisfited. I don't know how the girl in the video is so cute and so ELEGANT while she does the exercises. I felt totally wasted at some point. I still did all the exercises... a bit slower, but I did everything. This should motivate me, this is a prove that there are some muscles I absolutely need to train more and make stronger.
 
61.0 :( I am so disappointed, but it is fair. Yesterday I ate a lot. Today I will try to do better.

Today a friend I haven't met for all the summer met me in the city and the first thing she noticed was that I look slimmer.
I was really surprised. I know it is not easy to see I have lost weight, at least yet. but she is really careful and has a really good eye on those things. :) I am happy for her comment. I will use this as motivation to push me further.
 
That's great! I'm so happy for you! I haven't done it yet... I know i know I'm being lazy but I was cleaning the house so that counts as something plus I'm tired :)
I pinky promise to do it tomorrow :D The girl in the video does that for a living plus they probably take breaks so she doesn't look bad :)
 
Don't worry CloudyMuffin. I actually wanted to do it today, but I had so many things to do today that I just postponed it for tomorrow.

In here there is new that my "normal" routine is starting again. I will be devided between school and work again and it's scary.I barely saw 59.9 on the scale once that... I am back to 61. It feels to be sent to the start when you are playing some game. I have been eating at the canteen for the second time today and I feel so damn guilty.
I tryed to put an balanced amount of food in my plate, but as I was having lunch with friends I felt so unconfortable. I know it's weird, but I really don't like to say I am on diet or I am trying to eat healthy. I think it is related to the fact that... in case I fail, I don't need to publically admit that I failed. Noone knew I was trying in first place. I know, I think too much. But has it ever happened to you?
I am so discouraged...
When I saw 61 on the scale this morning I was thinking that maybe I should give up the "project" of losing still 10 kilos and it would be enough if I will stay 61 without puting weight during the academic year. But nope! I am tired of postponing my "fitted me" because my life gets in the way. I am tired of being the fat one (even if my weight is actually normal for my height I look so much fatter that everyone else)... so I will push myself and succeed.
I mentioned before somewhere that I am really (REALLY) competitive... and this year I want to do it ALL. Because I can do it. I am smart and I have willing power. This year will be a total success. I will graduate with the highest grades, I will professional and dedicated to my work and... I WILL LOSE WEIGHT and GET FIT THIS YEAR. It is really going to happen. No excuses. No life getting in the way. I will find time for myself to exercise and I will be strong to eat healthy also when

But because I really need routines and plans to get things done here are some points I need to follow now that I cannot concentrate on losing weight.

- When you eat at the canteen make sure you have more than half place salad and only 2 or 3 potatoes are allowed. No bread with butter. (bread, potatoes and pasta are my worse enemy... I crave them very much and can easly bunge on them)
- Drink 3l of water per day. Bring your own bottle to the faculty!!
- At the evening, since you cannot count calories from the lunch, have only a salad. STAY LIGHT!!
- No more than 1 banana a day (I know... what can I say? When on diet I eat way too many bananas because they fill me more than other fruits... bad bad bad)

- Use the bike to move around the city.
- Have some kind of cardio activity everyday. Would be really good if this is other than the daily bike trips.
- Two or 3 times a week do some different workout other than cardio.

- Log in in the forum and write your progress at least once daily.
- Don't forget your goals and motivation!!!!
 
So, today is a new day and I feel motivated to do all the things I have to do, being positive and beliving in myself.
As you may have noticed in my previous post I had hard time adjusting my new healthier eating habits when it comes to eat at school. But I also did not mention that I have been strong and tried to pick, when out, something slightly healthier.
We had a meeting at work the other day and they were serving coffee with delicious cakes, I did not touch them!!
Also in the canteen they were serving some pasta as well, but I was strong and went for some veggie stakes with cottage cheese and yogurt instead.
When I pick the healthier choice I feel strong and in control.

Today I am again 61.3, but in contrary from yesterday I feel in power. I know I can do it, expecially because now I have a plan. My goal for this week was the 59, which is obviously not going to happen. But these last week days I will push myself so to see again the 60 on the scale and start from there. :) I need to keep positive. I will make it! I love myself too much to give up.

Today for breakfast I had my lovely cup of tea (opposite to the vanilla coffee I had the previous 3 days) with an orange. I am bringing an apple with me at the uni for snack and in the canteen I will moderate the size of whatever will be available, going BIG with the salad! Also my husband invited me for a Latte in town later in the afternoon, when he asked I jumped and said something like "Are you crazy?? Latte???!! If you really want to go to town I will have tea!!" He smiled at me! Since I had bigger dinner the past 2 days he may have assumed I was giving up, but I AM NOT! Going strong and determinated to make 2014 my year and see RESULTS!!

I have a plan now and I am confident! Things will go fine!!

Oh and an other thing. I was asked to be a bridesmaid in winter. I know it is close, but DAMN, I want to buy a cute cute dress and look good!!! There is an other goal to reach!!!
 
So, this is how this month went:

View attachment 21315

How does it look? I know it did not go down smoothly, but starting the month at 62.3 and ending it at 60.8 doesn't seem bad. Still will motivate me going!! Now I am off to breakfast and watch my favourite tv-show! :)

Yesterday was a "SUCCEDED DAY". I ate at the canteen and had a huge plate with salad (no dressing, this was an other "rule" I forgot to mention), a small piece of baked salmon and potato mousse. I tried to keep the potatoes mousse to a minimum. I was full until the snack. :)
For snack I had an orange, then was time for our STARCLOUD challenge and have a brief bike trip with my husband and dog! :)And drunk 2 or 2.5 l of water. And for dinner had a HUGE fruit salad with 1 banana, watermelon and strawberries.

When I feel a bit demotivated I need to focus and remember how well I feel when I succeed and have a full and intensive day, when I take care of my body as well :)
 
Yesterday was an other good day. I ate whole-grain pasta with tunna and peas for lunch and philadelphia light with cherry tomatos for dinner. I did not have a "real" workout, but I was cleaning for about 4 hours. When i think about this year that is basically starting next week I feel kinda nervous, exited and anxious. A mixture of good and bad feelings. I have a lot of hopes for the starting year and a lot of goals.

*** GOALS FOR SUMMER 2014 ***
[] Graduate
[] Do a good job at work
[] Lose weights (about 10 kg)

These are the main goals I want to accomplish before summer 2014 starts. And of course in the picture I have a husband and a super energized dog to intratain and to give love to. They usually keep me from becoming a work robot and always give me a smile or nice words. Other than this there is also the house to keep care of. Yes, it will be an intense year, but I will make it. I am strong and I will make it. :)

About today's weight, I actually failed to reach 59.someting Kg during this week. I think the stress hunger has already got me... how bad, but I will controll it. I am actually only 0.6 kg behing. Not a really huge deal! I will work this week very hard to bring those grams down for the next week. It is not going to be very hard, I just need to focus on my goals. :)
