First of May – My New Way

Thanks! You are right. Third day alone three days of thinking of candy. Third day of not eating candy. Found a really good offer on salty nut mix a few days ago, have been eating a little too much of it, but otherwise been doing well.

I love kit kats and one time Dairy Queen came out with a Kit Kat blizzard and I was craving it so bad thinking about for a week! I finally gave in and bought one... bleh! Some chocolate's texture gets terrible when it's really cold and that's what happened to the kit kat's chocolate... too crunchy. So, I've never wanted another agian, haha.
 
That ice cream sounds horrible. I know the candy is far better in my head and the after-candy part makes it so not worth it.
Soo today is the day 135,8 aka 299.4 and also a bit closer to the challenge goal.
Have a nice Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate it.

Slept until 8am and spent the day cleaning, watching a dvd and went to town square to see the christmas tree being switched on, it's a tradition and all the stores hand out christmas treats, had about 100 cals of gløgg and then I went home and cooked a wonderful Indian vegan dinner with my mother.
 
:hurray: Awesome job getting below 136/300! :hurray:

I had to look up mulligatawny (looks yummy), but I knew just what gløgg was. I used to make it in the winter. I've tried the premade, but it's always too sweet for me. Heavy on the spices and light on the sugar for me. So warm and fuzzy. I miss that.
 
Thank!

Premade gløgg I have never tried, neither the kind of concentrate you just put in a bottle of wine, just know it will be horrible. It's a nice tradition and one of the few times a year I have alcohol.

Had a Little trouble figuring out what my goal weight is this month, used two different converters and they are slightly different, however if we can agree on that 10 lbs i 4,5 kg, then I need to be 135,5 at my weight to be 10+ lbs Down. Today the weight was 135.6 sooooo close....

Mulligatawny is my favorite Soup and only yesterday I discovered one can put meat in it, always use a vegan recipe, and the naan worked out perfectly, full of garlic flavour and moist. made them with wholegrain maize flour, so yummy.

Would gladly take the soup and naan instead of the gløgg, but then I´m marked by the horrible punsch stands that pop up everywhere in this country around this time. I can drink one cup of glühwein and enjoy it, but I never seem to do so when I´m in Austria because the smell of that horrible sweet punsch puts me off alcohol completely.
 
We never had alcohol in my family or in my mother's. No reason just habit, I tend to forget it exists. I should probably use it a little more instead of living and breathing candy.

Damn you nut mix!
Walked 6 km.
 
That nut mix is tough. It's good for you if you don't eat too much, but it's so easy to eat too much. I don't know that booze for candy is such a great trade.

The premade stuff is gross. I didn't think it was that bad until some Danish coworkers made some for our holiday party. I never bought the premade after that. The first time I had it at the holiday party I believe it only had wine in it, but the following year I got myself a rather heafty portion not knowing that the new batch had vodka in it as well. I was rather jolly for a workplace celebration.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of nut mix, but I bought these almonds at Costco, they are Tamari Almonds... SO GOOD! OMG, I've never been one to snack on almonds, but man do I snack on these ones!
 
Those almonds look great.. Homer Simpson MmmmMmm...
Got up early and got a bunch of work and christmas prep done, then I went to my parents and they made chicken soup and afterwards I helped myself to plenty of chocolate covered nuts, ugh. I'm fine with it though, I have been home alone all week and still lost weight.

My appetite has gone crazy, it happens when I stop regular exercise. Been a busy day again today and I went seven different places past school to do things I couldn't postpone any longer. My back is also killing me with cramping cause I get no rest at all.
Tomorrow I am bringing home five children on play dates. Counting the hours until they go home again and I can have a weekend.
Just trying to play it pretty sensible with cals and stay away from foods from the sugar/snacking category.
 
Got up at 4.30 to have 30 min to myself, it’s been crazily early all week in order to get things done, study work and errands has exploded. I worked double and I now got to a point where I feel it’s possible to get the rest done within deadline.
Not eating at my best, a bit too many cals every day and easy food choices with a lack of protein. Found no time for exercise at all. I feel hungry most days because of a lack of exercise. I weigh in at 1.5 lbs over lowest weight, need to turn the boat around. Today I’ve got no teaching, I will do some grocery shopping and buy the girl some shoes and other stuff that she needs, bake some chocolate scones for the five children I am bringing home today on play dates and just try to gather my mind. Ate some painkillers yesterday afternoon and got cleaning done, and just plan on veggie omelette or something like that for dinner.

Sooo:
back to eating healthy wholesome meals, drinking enough water
no Happy Fridays in December, I’ve got a Christmas party the 12th, Christmas eve the 24th and New year’s eve the 31st where I can eat and drink what I want.
Next week chore: Visiting the gym where I have been a member for more than six months without using it even once
My back keeps cramping due to no rest/overload -> hit the swim bath x2 next week which always fixes that problem
 
No rest is no good... Hope things slow down a bit soon! Kudos for keeping it healthy despite the stress.
 
So, it’s time to come back, a month has gone by. What have I been doing? Eating and drinking Christmas stuff a lot, having a good time, repressed all thoughts on life change, weight and exercise. Very unsmart of me. Gained 8 lbs or so.
Dropped by the hospital gym yesterday, been a member for 11 months felt it was time for my first visit…
It was nice, very nice, it has four treadmills (the other gym I used to use had 3) lots and many bikes, cross trainers and other machines and weightlifting stuff. Free massage, a TV room, a parking zone for children etc. Very nice, it’s the former operation department so lots of white tiles lol.
Days are busy, exam is around 10 days away and I feel soo not ready, my mother has been at the hospital a week now, and is, among other things, waiting for them to fly her to the mainland to give her a pacemaker. Today my sister in law is being forced into labour a month early because her baby is not getting sufficient nutrition inside of her. We have been and still are haunted by bad storms so it’s hell biking around doing errands for everybody and going back and forth to the hospital a few times a day. Blah blah. Been doing pretty fine with diet for 2-3 days without counting cals, are counting today and will eat max 2000 and continue doing that. Would love to go exercising, but I am so drained with all of this. The gym is on the same floor my mother is hospitalized, so maybe I should bring a gym bag tomorrow..
I will also make a new diary and drop all of this baggage, but didn’t feel this post would be a nice start post. Want a nice fresh 2015 start.
