Lena's diary

well it was wonderful time with bf...five beautiful days full of love. he went home last night and i won't see him for one month. one month is better then three at least. but i miss him already. it was soooo god to have him around.

i was good food wise, but i didn't exercise that much, i will correct that today.i have to say that i'm very much proud of myself. me and bf went for pizza one night and i ate less than half :)

also i got a day off tomorrow and i'm going to slovenia to visit a friend who had a baby three months ago :) so its gonna be some shopping and girl talks for me the entire time. cool :)

ok food today:

breakfast: 1 slice bread with salami and 1 slice of cheese
snack: ham and cheese toast
lunch: there is some sarma leftover so i'll have that
snack: tangerines
dinner: banana, salad or similar

exercise plan:

10-15 minutes elliptical (slow-fast periods)
whole body squats (15x1)

i will post the execution of the exercise plan :)
 
:DIt is great to feel loved and I am glad you guys had such a great time and tons of sex Im gathering, that my dear is exercise in itself!

Great job with the exercise!
 
and another monday and another day at work...there is stormy weather outside and i would rather be in bed. well you can't just have it all lol.

i had a busy weekend. went to slovenia to visit a friend who went to masters with me in budapest. she gave birth three months ago to a beautiful little girl so i was spending my time making the baby smile lol, apart from changing the diapers lol. my friend told me i'm so ready for the baby. and i do feel ready...so if it happens it happens :D

the food was also really yummy...went i bit over, but one weekend won't kill me. no regrets here.
oh and i went shopping, bought me a pair of boots, a pair of running shoes, some clothes and now i'm a satisfied junkie who didn't do any significant shopping for almost 5 months.
ok now food and exercise:

breakfast: 2 crackers and 1 slice of bread with pate and yogurt
snack: 1 chocolate croissaint
lunch: rice and chicken meat balls
snack: tangerines
dinner: don't know yet, maybe some salad or soup

exercise: 1o minutes elliptical (changing speed)
steve's whole body exercises :)
 
Hi Lena, just wanted to pop in and thank you for coming by my place. Looks like you had a good time with the BF :D Always a good thing...

I'll catch up with your diary history after I have time to read more. So long for now!
 
:D well hello there :D

i'm at work...have tons to do, but just don't feel like tackling it yet. once i start i won't be able to lift my head up. love it and hate it at the same time. anyways, i was looking around internet yesterday and realized that in US my job would be very well paid. how's your immigration policy lately? i might be migrating in future so i'm checking available options. anyone wanna hire experienced international programmes manager? hehe, just kidding.

now this got me thinking. things here aren't as good as they should and could be.,..and i'm not talking about financial crisis. that is something that hit the entire world. the prosperity in general is slow in Croatia, the atmosphere is rather negative and i don't really like that. hmmm....ideas ideas

How about Vancouver, B.C. Canada!LOL
 
yesterday i managed to do only part of the exercise plan, my heart was in it, by my general fatigue was above normal. probably because of the trip and not sleeping well these past few days.
so i did only 6,5 minutes on the elliptical, switching the velocity, and i did most of steve's exercises. hopefully today will be better.

so the plan is the following:

breakfast: 2 slices of bread with pate
snack: toast or croissant
lunch: cauliflower and broccoli cooked with sour cream, parmiggiano and 1 chicken breast fillet
snack: might have something sweet
dinner: don't know yet, probably some fruit

exercise: 15-30 minutes elliptical, of which 4-5 cycles interval.

It all must come from the heart--especially worthiness and self-love, which then extends to love of all beings :)

All except me, hahaha, Im at work too, just at work at night time:(Same with cabbie - he is a nighter as well!
 
lol no rain please...have it enough here :)

yesterday i was being lazy and ate things i shouldn't have...and i really felt sluggish and i was cold. then to spite myself i jumped on my elliptical and did 12 minutes of which i actually manages to do 3 HIIT cycles (well sort of - instead of 60:30 secs ratio i was doing 80:20).

when i got to the third cycle i was sweating and my hart beat was fast and my breathing was definitely outside my comfort zone...so i had to finish here. i started cooling down a bit, spent another 4 minutes on it and went for the weights and did steve's exercises plus some other exercises focusing on my abdominal and arms. felt mucho mucho better :D

today my plan for food is this:

breakfast: 3 slices of bread with pate and yogurt
snack: 1 musli bar, 1 nescafe cappucino
lunch: zucchini, carrots and onions sauted...then cooked in a sauce made of sour cream, 1 tea spoon mustard, some seasoning, i might make some rice also, and 1 piece of chicken breast fillet
snack: tangerines
dinner: 1 tomato, 1 pepper, lettuce, feta cheese salad
snack: pumpkin seeds ( i still have to see about this one)
 
well the weekend was nice :) most of the saturday i spent baking a cake and cooking. i realized that when i bake the cake i don't really have the urge to eat it as well. weird i know.

the eating the past few days was very good, i am very satisfied with myself. i also did some yoga exercises yesterday. i don't know how many calories are being used during those exercises, but i felt very good and relaxed when i finished. mind you i did beginners things. still enjoyable.
anyway i also decided to keep myself very much in check this week to see how much caloric deficit can i obtain while c0ontrolin g myself. i also decided to cook myself lunch everyday and take it to work. that way i can have lunch around 1pm and eat some snack when i get home and be more relaxed.

the food plan for today:

breakfast: 2 small hard boiled eggs, 1 piece of toast, 1 tb spoon low fat cottage cheese, 1 low fat yogurt
snack: 1 nescafe
lunch: spinnach and 1 chicken breast fillet
snack: some fruit, 1 small piece of cake
dinner: 1 tomato, 1 pepper, feta cheese, salami nicely arranged on the plate :)

exercise:
was thinking of doing 30 minutes of total body workout + some extra cardio if i manage

speaking of exercise i found some i like at that exercise tv thingy. i like one of the trainers a lot. she seems to be doing exercises i prefer :D
 
Good job on your workouts Lena, it'll definitely make a difference on the scale!

I hear Canada is blistering cold, but I like their social policies. I totally love it in the US and would never live anywhere I else (especially after my 1 and 1/2 year stint in Bermuda). But I'm not sure I'd immigrate here if I wasn't from here.. Hmmmmn.

Good luck on the eating today! Be a good girl missie :).
 
Thanks for the encouraging words in my journal! The U.S. is a wonderful place to live, and I love it dearly, but it is not without it's issues, especially right now....

Realistically, though, It probably doesn't matter where you are in some respects. I'm guessing every country has it's good and bad points, it's a matter of being where you are happy, and in the situation, (social, political, personal), that works best for you.
 
it was more of rant than anything else really :) i do love the place i live in...and i love europe in general. i love the free spirit, the art world, cinemas...all of it. i love my city in the spring and summer...it was just the fact that i don't feel as appreciated as i would maybe be somewhere else. its the CEU effect (the Central European University in Budapest where i did my MA). for a year i was told and assured that i can make a change, that there are so many doors out there for me...assured by such big names. i guess it was an ego trip which i really enjoyed. since i'm back there are not so many ego trips...at least not professionally. i guess i miss it lol.

yesterday i didn't exercise because in the afternoon i was trying to make home made tortillas, bean/corn salsa and stuff. did everything perfectly...but tortillas were a disaster. today i'm buying them hahaha. two hours lost...at least some calories were spent while in the kitchen. by the time i finished (in a failure) i was so beat that i just went to bed.

well today is a new day :)

breakfast: turkey ham sandwich
snack: nescafe
lunch: chickpeas, corn, red pepper, olives,feta salad (no oil)
snack: tangerines
dinner: i don't know yet.

exercise:
yoga+whole body training
 
I miss Yoga girl...I loved it and I totally need to get back into it, I think I might try doing it before bed after work...and I talk to my cous abt it and she will commit to one day a week for Yoga as well so we are on a search for a Yoga class, at least it is a start:)

Sorry about your tortillas...
