Hello everyone and nice to meet you.
This year I am am turning 30 and in order to accomplish other goals in my life I always neglected my physical shape. Now I am in a very good place in my life and I want to reach this big goal of mine before I turn 30: get riff of 12 kilos and finally reach the number 50 on the scale.
I really tried everything to keep myself on track, failing miserably.
Few days ago I started a blog, but I really need your support. So, I hope we can help and motivate each others!!
What do you say? :) Are you ready?
 
Among other things I am facing a really particular time in my life, where I need to face some new challenges related to both work and family. I am adjusting to some major changes and sometimes it is hard to stay focused on my health goals.
Today was one of those bad days.
I started this 30 days "clean eating" challenge, which did not start the right way. Today, to mention one example, I had pizza. Even though I tried to make it healthier ordering it without cheese, it was still pizza.
Well, from tomorrow I am starting over with this 30 days healthy eating during which I am not going to eat any processed food and avoid:
1. Milk and dairy
2. processed food and sugar
3. bread, pasta and rise.

I can do this!!
 
Today I had salad with iceberg salad, cucumber, chicken and white egg. I seasoned it with a pinch of salt and some olive oil, it was delicious. As dessert I made a vegan apple crumble (apples, coconut fat, oatmeal flakes, lemon juice, cinammon, and dark muscovado sugar). It was very rich in flavour. I could not resist, so I had two servings. So, I guess I am done for today. I am ging to drink a lot of water and walk with my dog.
 
Hello Viola! it is nice to meet you! I am new to this site;-) It is very interesting to read about your day. I guess i need to start a diary as well;-) I wish you good luck and will be glad to read more about your success;-) Have a wonderful day
 
Hi viola, I just made my first diary entry today too.

I am also trying to lose a lot of weight by my birthday. I hope we can support each other. Don't forget to take a before picture to look at every time you get tempted to eat junk or not go for that run!
 
@Mamamia1: Thank you and welcome to you as well. I warmly advice you to start a diary. It really helps to check on your routine and avoid bad habits. I also wish to be one of those nice success story :) And so I wish for you as well.

@Berlingirl: Hello! I am going to read your entry right away. Yes, we can definitely support each others!! Actually, we must!! I think that support from other people is a key to success! So, let's kick some asses!!
Oh, and on the side... I am European too! :)

Today I had fish salad with rucola and fresh iceberg salad, tomatoes, fish, mushrooms and some veggie roles I cannot remember the name. They are very lemony, but nice. And on the top I had some nuts for a crunch. Very very tasty. Now I am relxing after a long day at work with a warm and tasty herb infusion. I love the smell.
 
Today was a very good day.
I had a great lunch with salad (green salad, rucola, tomatoes, cucumber, green olives, tariyaki chicken, eggplants and carrots). Jummy!
I also tried to stay very active during the day. I went to circuit training and, since I did not yet reach my step goals (I wear a Polar Loop with 15k steps as a goal) I went for a 30 minutes walk. It was nice and the weather is getting a bit better, I hope it will last.
At home I did the laundry and relaxed with a lovely warm shower. Now it's time for my warm camomilla infusion before going to sleep. :) Me happy and satisfied. Tomorrow more!!
 
Today has been such an active day. 24k steps! :)
I had a salad for lunch with fish, grape leaves rolls (jummy), pasta salad with bell pepper, cucumber and tomatoes. Very good. In the evening I had some bread with vegetable margarine (still trying to avoid dairy)and turkey ha.
I did a lot of exercise. I went to Zumba, there was a new teacher and I liked her more than our usual one.
Once I got home I decided to attend the Fit Boxing class. I love fit boxing so much and it is a bit a shame in my gym they have classes only once a week. I could not miss it!
I was so happy and satisfied at the end of the class. I always enjoy it! I got rid off all my stress.
And I walked home, instead of taking the bus. Yeahh!! :) I should be more often so active!
 
Yesterday and today were kinda off-days. I had a friend over and I could not exercise, but I kept up with my healthy eating.

Yesterday I had orange juice and a clementine, salad with fish and veggies and in the evening I grabbed a Subway (30cm) with whole wheat bread, chicken tariyaki, no cheese, veggies (cucumber, tomato, olives, pickle cucumber) and honey mustard.

Today I had with two two slices of rye bread, vegetable margarine, turkey ham and cucumber. I also had a a clementine and a salad with chicken and salami, veggies and nuts.

Even if I did not exercise properly I reached my daily goals with steps.

Today I spend the day with two of my friends and went for shopping. It was an incredible day. For breakfast I had 2 slices of whole wheat bread with vegetable butter, turkey ham and cucumber. For lunch I had salad with fish, tomatoes and mushtooms. With my friends we stopped by at a cafe and had coffee. I ordered a gun powder tea and a chocolate croissant.It was Sant Valentine after all. For dinner I had a avocado and chicken salad with no dressing. I came back home with a new shirt from H&M and a bag from Esprit. Thanks to Sant Valentine day discounts.

Today was not a good day at all for my detox. For lunch I had my usual bread (whole wheat, vegetable butter, turkey ham and cucumber) and went for a very long walk. It was a nice sunny day, but a bit cold. I found a very nice coat which I purchased. It was a deal because it was on sale and it is of very good quality. Once at home I was craving for something sweet, so I had 3 cokies and… I went back for a ritter sport. :( I don t have willpower. sigh!
 
Yes, you do. Don't dwell on mistakes Viola. Move forward & learn from them. You can do this! xo Cate
 
:D You're welcome! I'll swap bodies with you right now! All you need to do, young lady, is to start feeling better about yourself. Eating healthily & exercising, but not obsessively, will set you up for life. Sometimes, when things are not going well for us, we can either over-eat or obsess over our bodies, as a means of taking control over something. That is the time to really nurture yourself & treat your body well.
 
Cate, your words are really encouraging. You are right! I will focus on eating healthy and exercising, not obsess! :)

In the morning I had a glass of orange juice. For lunch I had 2 veg stakes with baked potatoes (seasoned with olive oil and herbs), a side salad (green salad, carrots, pasta, olive oil for dressing) and a slice of white bread without spread. After work I had a long walk and then head to the gym, where I run on the treadmill for 5 km. It took me about 40 minutes, so kind a lot. But I am very satisfied with myself. I also started the 30 days plank challenge and I did 20 second plank after the run. Once home I had a snack with fresh orange. :D

I had salad with chicken for lunch and oranges in the evening.
I also went for a 5 km run. For some reasons it elt much harder than yesterday... I seriously need to consider to do some streching before the run. However I perormanced better than yesterday, 3 minutes less (5 km in 37 minutes).
A friend of mine told me about a women run happening in town at the end of May, 10 km at your own pace. You can even walk if you whish so. I am seriously thinking of joining.

Today I think I had another “bad day”. I simply cannot controll myself with food when I am out for coffee with a friend. I met this girl I seriously did not meet in AGES and we went to a pretty fancy place and I had a strawberry jelly pie. It was delicious… but yeah, not good for my health. At least I had white tea and not any kind of caloric drink. At work I had boiled potatoes (4), breaded fish and a small side salad (green salad, black olives and tomatoes). I seasoned the salad with olive oil to avoid milk. I also had a small mango curd. This is what makes me sriously think that I ame allergic to something other than being lactose intollerant. Even if I was very carefull to have everything lactose free, I still have problems this morning with my stomach. I am thinking I am either allergic to milk or I don’t tolerate yeast. I should have the tests done and really discover what is wrong my fragile stomach. No exercise other than walking to the bus stop and in the city center. Sigh.
 
I did it!!
I registered myself to my first RUN RACE ever!! It is not an half marathon because I am scared I would not make it. It is a 10k run, and it is on the 24th of May. This means I have plenty of time to train for it!!! At the moment I can run 5km almost without problems.

I can do it!
 
It was an horrible weekend.
I met some friends after a long time and... I just felt horrible when I was going home. i felt sad and missed my family very much and let the bad feelings get me.
I had two bad binges in Saturday and Sunday. I ate chips, ice cream, muffins and cookies. I realized how bad it was when I looked in the bin this afternoon.
On the top of that my camera just broke. I feel horrible and I want to go home. Maybe I am not strong enough to do this, be away from my loved ones and live by myself for 1 year.
For once I would like to feel right and in the right place. :(
 
Aww :( If you have friends in your current area, I think it's good to spend a lot of time with them if you can. I think it helps a lot with loneliness. Don't give up now <3
 
Thank you for your support taboo. It really means a lot! I have some friends around here, but no one really close.

Today it is going much better.
For breakfast I had fruit, for lunch I had salmon with salad and in the afternoon I snacked again with some fruits.
To be honest I was not in the mood of having dinner because my stomach is still superful from yesterday. And let's not mention it even hurts because I had dairy. So I am going to keep calm and drink some tea instead.

I went for a 5 km run on the treadmil as well. I don't think I mentioned this before, but I signed up for a 10 km run. I am very excited and I am really looking forward to train for this challenge against myself. :)
The run is at the end of May, and considering I already am able to run half of the distance I am very positive about my success. But let's be consistent. This time around I will not set myself too distant goals. I will take 1 week at a time. It is so easy to break good habits if you set 90 days of "don't eat junk food". This time I will do one week at a time. :) Keep the finger crossed for me!
