Here we go again.

One of my colleagues have been feeling slightly ill for the last couple of days and I’m starting to as well. So unhappy about this, it keeps getting passed around work. Why cant people just stay home until they are well??? I’m so sick of being sick :(

We have had free chineese lunch at work (just smelled way to good so i had to have some) and tomorrow we have indian lunch... so i guess the dieting wont be great this week... since were going to 2 parties and eating out on saturday... ah well :)

Training yesterday was quick but good. Felt tired (again) but surprised myself with feeling strong. Only did a few back exercises but heavy. Diet is going good however I have skipped the IF (same reason as before, to cold) anyway, Just adding an omelette for breakky, a light lunch and keeping most of the days calories (+60%) after gym works really well. It’s a bit of a bugger I can’t do IF since the benefits seems so good. Ah well..

Had a great sleep last night and feel tops :D me and BF have had a bit of a thing (well mainly I misunderstood him a lot and wasn’t very nice ;) so he/we decided that I should go home (to Sweden) alone. Mainly because the severe homesickness feelings that I got and that I felt like I wanted to move home. Now, we have solved everything and we are a lot closer now than before and that feels great. No not so severely homesick anymore but he still feels a bit uneasy going home. So I guess my loss and my bad but both need to work on the communication…

Payday today YAY lol I’m in a desperate need of some new boots, a dress and leather hosen ops meant pantyhose…

Well training yesterday want great, tired and didn’t feel like it at all. Skipped calfs! And today I forgot my pants and sneakers, so ill probably go there in jeans haha.

Whoot Whoot!

63 Kg Saturday morning. Training on Saturday was good, shoulders, triceps and abs.

We went to Hahndorf for a late lunch, very pretty little picturesque town about an hour outside of Adelaide. Had a lamb salad and garlic bread. Yum! Bf had a steak with mustard sauce, very nice! In Hahndorf they apparently have a thing for fudge, there was a lolly shop in each corner. We bought some bailey’s and Mississippi fudge. YUM! Very nice! Saturday weather was so lovely, sunny, crisp and clear. For dinner we went to a Malaysian restaurant in Marion shopping centre, were pleasantly surprised and the food was great, very fresh and clean. Fantastic! Since we where already in Marion we caught a movie, Night at the Museum, very funny, loved the first one and the second one was funny too!. However a bit odd, in the trailer there is a scene with DW from star wars and that wasn’t actually in the movie. Very odd in deed (we where both waiting for it)
Sunday was a rainy day spend relaxing and not doing much at all.

Made a lunch with shrimps in tomato sauce with garlic and Italian herbs, awesome! Topped with some cheese. Don’t have seafood that often as the BF is allergic but he had chicken patties so it worked out :)

Thursday recap

Went to the gym, had my freshly obtained Lemonade (managed to order the wrong taste) NOExplode that tasted okay. Did Legs and half the way thru I died haha didn’t feel like doing it anymore, so I skipped the heavy deads and did a bit more on the “easier” exercises. I managed to get stuck in the leg press haha, did some quad presses and thought I’d do some calf’s and forgot that I hadn’t put the stops up. Got stuck cause my legs where in a odd position and some dude had to rescue me LOL anyway first half went good, squatted good :D

Was very creative when making dinner. Lovely dish :D Did coarse mustard ham wrapped chicken breast fillet (slapped coarse mustard on the chicken breast and wrapped it in smoked ham) and put it in the Forman grill. Fantastic!!!!! And so easy!

Wednesday

Good back session yesterday, feeling tender today but not to much. Resting today, ill probably take the dogs out for an afternoon walk because the weather is just beautiful and it will be light when I get back! Yay!
I managed to buy a beautiful condensed vinegar sauce to have on your salad. It’s really strong in flavour and a bit thicker than normal. Very tasty!

:)

Gym was good, sore arms and chest! Managed to pull off 55 lbs incline dumbbells.
Diet: me hungry... ah well... 10 weeks to go.....
Reading a new (for me) Dean Koontz book, the Key to midnight. Good, I do like his book although the story is generally, boy meets girl and runs from a big government/private organisation. lots of action, humour and the couple wins and lives happily ever after :)

Not the best start on the dieting…

Had a really bad start, woke up and I got a visit from Aunt flo a week early… so I didn’t feel like doing any pictures (sorry) starting weight is 64.5 anyway.

Went and saw X-Men origin (loved it) and mmmmmmmmmmmmm HJ is ------------- such a great movie. I have always loved the Xmen movies but this is one of the better ones! Cant wait for the new one (there has to be another one, cause the brother is still unresolved YaY)
We had dinner at SPARGOS before the movie and they have always had a fantastic warm chicken salad with avocado, walnuts, sun dried tomato and a fantastic balsamic sauce. This time they had ruined it, drenched it with garlic sauce and a soggy avocado in the bottom and just mashed and mixed it together. Very very disappointed… felt like I ate a bowl of avocado gushy cream with garlic in it. Not nice at all… BF’s Pizza was yummy tho.

We drove down to Aldinga beach on Sunday with the dogs and had a great walk. Not a lot of people around and the dogs could run loose!

Found this at the food store (just had to have it – although it does taste a bit odd)

Diet starting soon!

Weigh in tomorrow and start on Sunday (well really on Saturday but we normally go out and eat on Saturdays hehe)
Ill make sure I do photos!

Supplement order

Done! Ive ordered some more NO-Explode and amino's. The Armageddon pre workout one that I'm using now tastes eeeew and don't give me anything... it was cheap but that's the only thing good about it...

:D

Thanks for everyone’s nice comments :D Im actually happy with the colour, not as big of a shock after all. It feels right!

Im having a tired chewing gum day today, got a bad sleep due to the neighbours WRX (turbo) car taking of and coming back and standing in their driveway cooling down. Hate it and why would you do that in the middle of the night. Not happy!

No gym today, ill go tomorrow, feels better to go when rested and no stress. Just chillin out infront of the TV!

The final result

Im happy, cut a bit more off as well, looked really worn in the ends. Now it feels good and looks good too ;)
Leg’s today, tired and hungry… ah well. Blame it on the weather…. Pouring down at the moment…

Dark reddish

So the colouring went all right, it looks red in the lights, blondish red in the photos and brown in the normal lights lol but it looks a lot better than before. Ill put some darker in where its light red and I missed some spots in the back, rand out of color :D

I brought a heater to work and it took all of 45 minutes for it to overheat and burn haha now it stinks here

Gym was good, did back, I think I have managed to put a bit of width on, ill see if I can get some pictures for ya :D have a happy Wednesday!

I’m so unhappy

I’ve got grey hair. The bottom is fine (sort of – looks okay when I have it up) but it’s the ends that looks shit. The toner has come out a lot already so the white is back and the dark looks very dark so the end result is my hair looks grey. Not happy at all. It doesn’t really show on the pictures. I hate hairdressers – not once have I gotten a result that has been good. I regret paying 180 dollars for this shitty result (even got the green tint comment) great – I could have paid 15 dollars and fucked my hair up myself. So today ill go to the shops and get a dark brown ish color and do it myself.

Training yesterday was good, very busy but it was good. Feel like I’m back to normal now and my strength is back. I’m still sore from the leg session Friday hehe but what do you do…

I have started the intermittent fasting again. The structure will be this

6-7ish morning walk with the dogs as normal

12 breakky, about 500 calories (chicken, salad and avocado/macadamia oil)

16-16.15 ill have a post workout shake with carbs and aminos and after gym ill have some more aminos. (150 cal)

17.30-18ish ill have my post gym food, eggwhites/chicken and some carbs (having mini weetbix honey crunch at the moment) 5-600 cal

20.00 is the final meal, meat, vegetables 6-700cal

I also have milk in my tea after the fast is broken and that brings me up to about 2000-2100 cal. If I’m not training I’ll just remove the pre/post workout meals and add some fats/remove the weetbix into the post workout meal. Well so far so good (hehe only second day) Feeling a bit cold as I did last time but I’m having tea during the day and that helps.
It’s probably not exactly as it should be, as it’s recommended to break the max 3 hours before gym but it works better with lunch at work etc. Next week I’ll take the milk out and bring the food down to a total of 1500-1600 cal. Easing into it :)

Missing internet at home to, its crazy how dependent you get of it… here I cant look at realestate.com or face book… not happy… ah well… at least bf’s got internet on his phone if its getting to hard…

So I have had an interesting weekend…

On Friday I went to the hairdresser. Saying I want to put some darker streaks in my hair and that I wanted to go darker. She goes, so do you want me to take the brassiness away, I say yeah sure, she puts in streaks (caramel, nice) but she also puts in streaks with blond, as in bleach, so I end up really blond, I look at it, she has done it so its straight and it’s a lot blonder than I wanted but looks okay,. Plus I had an appointment and had to rush of. Later at home I put my hair up in a ponytail as I normally have it and I get a shock, my hair is white and the streak are so dark, I look like a zebra. Freaking out I put a toner in (for half a minute and that gives me some of the color back but im still not happy. The really dark streaks still looks ridiculous, we had a very busy Saturday so I didn’t have time to go back. (yes I was angry all Friday and Saturday) and when I washed it Saturday most of the toner came out so I turned blonder (white) again. Went back to the hairdresser on Sunday and thank god the manager was there and remembered me and she tried to fix it as much as she could. Since the first one bleached it the color is odd in the end of the hair but at least I don’t look like a zebra… the manager said we had to go a bit darker to put some color back in the white and that it will go blonder again after a few washes since its so white.
It looks a bit greyish in some lights but it’s a lot better.
Spent a stupid amount of time and a silly amount of money on this. GAH!

ahhhhhhhhh yes

Im having tomorrow off, hope you all have a lovely weekend and Ill post ya all on Monday!

A picture from the morning walk

Good quick gym session

Did back yesterday, good quick session, I generally took it a bit easier than before but I managed to do 140lbs/63ish kg seated rows, amazing, haven’t done that one for quite a while (cause the boy’s normally hog the machine) that’s an increase of 40lbs! yay! Very happy! Depending on if I get tomorrow off (no work – Nelli bored) ill go to the gym tonight and do legs. If I do get tomorrow off ill head there middayish. We’ll see – shouldn’t really but I just cant face another day of doing pretty much nothing. I prefer to have a bit of a (again) long weekend.

Still coughing flem tho, not so happy about that, very annoying especially since its only when I lay down. Odd as!

Had a massive hunger yesterday - that was quite odd too. Solved the problem with grilling 340 g kangaroo, tomato and mushrooms. Very nice! Have been off kangaroo for a while, BF too but its coming back now :D

Where supposed to go buy my dear brother a bday present after gym, didn’t find any but hopeless as I am I managed to find myself a hoodie, shocking! But I just love Lonsdale stuff and it was nice. Ill try again tonight, having a bit more time since its late night shopping today.

Weak

Training yesterday was good, mainly for the head I think. I felt a bit weak and took it a bit easy, but it felt good to be back in the saddle!
Diet phase one is going very good, it feels good to sort everything out and have a bit more structure, plus this time I have a time limit and a goal for when I’m to be finished. Makes it easier than putting up an imaginary goal or a loose time frame. Having a goal is essential for me and now it’s the trip (13 weeks till lift off)

Everything here has turned green over a night (at least that’s what it feels like) the grass has really spurted out, bang, its really beautiful and Izzy runs like she’s crazy running her head in it. I found this really cool plant flower thing, its actually on a bush. Looks kind of funky.

Still internet less at home and it’s a biatch, I’m not sure what to do. BF’s phone gives him free internet but mine don’t. I refuse to use his phone (its horrible to surf/navigate and use) but I really miss internet and being able to go to my forums and blog and stuff. A wireless USB “broadband” no contract is about 150 to start then 30-40 dollar per month giving you 5 gig. Not that much… about 25 hours of surfing apparently but I guess its better than a wired one + line rental, that’s about 60 – 70 a month, but you do get a fair bit more gig’s for that. *GAH*

YAY!

Im feeling a lot better today, so happy about that! I reckon ill manage the gym tonight too! Awesome! No sore throat (although I do still have a bit of a blocked nose)

Im very tempted to try the IF again, very very very tempted, I have a couple of weeks to decide, the things I would do differently this time is break the fast at 12 then start again at 20, would make it a bit better I think. It’s also a bit better now that I train at 4.30 instead of 5.30. hmm… food for thought…

Almost well

Still a bit sniffly and a slightly sore throat. Have been watching a lot of dvd’s and sleeping a lot. The DVD’s have been Australia (didn’t like) the day the earth stood still (okay), quantum of solace (okay) journey to the centre of the earth (shocking) Madagascar 2 (I like) and twilight (I actually liked this although the so called hot guy wasn’t hot rather strange looking fella)
Sorry for the very brief so called reviews : )

64.5kg Sunday morning and this is the turning point. Although I’m not completely there it’s going to have to do. I have started phase 1 of the dieting, well its not really dieting for another couple of weeks but I have to bring the calories down to maintenance level and get used to eating less. I’m a bit disappointed that I couldn’t train as I would have wanted to this last week but that’s life.

I have bought a new oil too, it’s a macadamia oil and its great, very high in monounsaturated fats and tastes good (well as I am now I can’t taste a lot but what I can taste is great) I have it on salads. Great and a lot cheaper than avocado and cheese.

No training still, depressing…
