A Massive HAPPY NEW YEARS to you from me! I hope you will have a great day and night and that the following year will be fantastic!!!!!!!!

Didn't get much sleep last night for some reason, yes playing with the phone but wasn't tired...strange but I feel okay so I guess its fine! Got some great news about my work situation but nothing official yet so you have to wait ;)

Trained legs yesterday and although my session took a bit longer than normal I got great pump and today my but is sore and is getting more sore every minute haha
I did squats (managed to increase to 55 kg and do 2 sets of 8 and 6 reps) box squats with 60 kg, extentions and one legged butt killers hihi then hamstrings!
Dumbbell deads, seated hamstring curls and standing hamstring curls!

Training with Alina tonight :) were training back! Really looking forward to that!
I'm also looking forward to spending new years with my favourite girl and her awesome family! (yes okay I'm also looking forward to enjoying some red wine)

Good morning! Well yesterday dint end up like I expected :) came to work and was spool hungry all day! Slop strange, sore from training as well LOL
Got my phone delivered and Hehe didn't go to gym, went home picked it up (ate a lot too) played with it, went to dads and then past an electricity shop, got a pouch for it and a new lence for my camera! Also managed to get some bubbles and cider for new years crazyyyy I then, of course, played to long with the phone so I'm way to tired today Hehe
Well love it! Needs a lot of playing with and I can't find some apps I used ion the iPhone but that's okay!
(picture from HTC website) LOVE IT!
Gym tonight :p legs :)

Yesterday I started to feel normal again, went and did some shopping, got a warm hoodie, winter boots and a Jamie Oliver fryingpan! Forgot time and rushed off to pick sis up, we wnt to the gym (SATS) lucky! Cause I discovered my free cards expire this weekend! We had an awesome back session then spent some time in the sauna! Gooood that was great!
Sis convinced me that the cast iron pot I looked at before was an investment so we did some more shopping :D
It's funny cause I've been looking at sis nice winterboots and thinking that they look great! When I bought mine I was thinking that these are similar but my sis's are way better looking hehe well they are exactly the same lol

Last night we went home to mums for dinner, traditional fish dish whith white sauce! Yummy! Loved it! However mum wasn't very happy with me when I declined her cloudberry pie, I just couldn't, I felt i've had way touch sweet and now that I was feeling okay I just didn't want any :/ probably should have been more diplomatic about it but I just felt jumped... I eat to much/to little am to skinny eat the wrong things, have to eat this or that.. Not used to this from family, bit different from others.. I guess the weight gain did get to me a bit too...Anyway... Great night and we played games and learned a lot, fun question game :)

Today it's back to work and hitting the gym today!

Oh what a great Christmas!
Christmas day morning I went for a walk in the gorgeous snow then had a gingerbread flavoured oatmeal breakky! Then I made beetroot salad and the reindeer rolls! Sis came to pick me up, dad had fixed a mulled wine and saffron bread snack/meal (yes started to get tipsy then)
After this we decorated the tree and all of dads house! My sis's cats was cheering us on loudly hehe (they are speakers) we had lunch and took it a bit easy!
At 3 it's the traditional tv show then Christmas dinner/lunch, wow the food was fantastic! I ate soo much hihi
After that we all gather for Christmas presents and more spirits and lollies (I ate A lot) great to spend with my family! Loads of fun and great present! Just perfect! Had a bit of belly ache tho (dooh)
(pictures to come)
Christmas day was a bit quieter, me (hung over from food and spirits) sis and dad went ice hunting, no luck tho since the snow cover prevents the ice from thickening! We went home to dads and I fell asleep on the couch! Arter Ordfront the new HTC desire HD, my brother had just bought one and I fell on love haha
Dad made us dinner, ribs with oven baked roitvegetables (absolutely delish)
My sis and I took of to the cinema, Narnia in 3D absolutely loved it!!! Great in 3D! There was this little girl besides my sis hehe she was makin strange noises with her drink (after 30 min I was going nuts) started giving her the evil eye haha and it worked ;)

Very merry christmas to all of you! I hop you will have a fantastic day with your families!

I'm so happy that I'm home, to celebrate with my family, that the weather is perfect! It's -13, fluffy white snow everywhere and absolutely stunning! Coulnt have asked for more!

My butt hurts sooo much haha did squats/box squats yesterday and since I tried the box sqauts my brother taught me for the first time (you sit down/ take the weight of the legs) I'm sore in muscles I didnt knew I had HaHa!!!

I'm in bed, enjoying this and the Christmas feel ;) going to go out for a walk, then have a gingerbread flavoured oatmeal breakky. Have a long shower and start to prepare the food I'm going to bring to dads (smoked reindeer rolls and beetroot salad)

Sis is picking me up at 11 and were going to decorate dads place and have Christmas lunch (risgrynsgröt) then at 3 it's Christmas celebration start (officially)

Looking forward to the mulled wine! Foods and chocolate! Goosh I'm getting hungry now hihi xxx

Merry Christmas!!!!

Have had great day! Felt funny at work, fell asleep on the train, went to the gym and ended up having a great session with sis. Then home to dads to make a pretty gingerbread house!!! Started feeling funny and went home had some food and crashed on the couch!
Just woke up and have had a massive dinner, really full and feel good now! Excited for tomorrow :D think I needed the rest... Loading up on foods and rest sounds like what I need ;)

couldn't get into my car this morning.. had to walk to the train and then the train was late. I did get to work in reasonable time tho, only about 10 minutes late :)
Didnt sleep very good... I dunno why but this is the second day in a row and now I'm having the hunger feeling because of this. hate it since it doesnt matter how much I eat, Im still hungry! GARH!!!!

At least its the last day of working late so that feels good! Tomorrow is half day and training with sis, then home to dads to do Christmas decorations/baking and seeing grandma and the cats!

I have bought saffron tea for tomorrow (found this great little shop yesterday, well it wasnt little, it was massive, but looks small from the street LOVED IT tea shop/decoration shop/specialty food shop :D to reaaaally enhance the Christmas feel!

GREAT Chest session today! Awesome! Really tried to focus on the powerlifting technique and got real hard pump!! Raw pump! Full on! Love it! Really like the feel if this, never ever gotten this good pump/contact ever! Crazy! Wad sore for 4days after the last session hihi

Sitting in östra station waiting for the train to leave (getting really hungry) apparently there is a train stuck at one of the stations and they have to move it... 17 degrees below zero ATM so it's pretty cold :)

Change of plans :) i'm going to meet up with Johanna at Delta today and train chest/triceps and abs instead of legs! Wicked!! Didnt sleep much last night so a bit of extra push is excellent! Whoopiiii

:D got a text yesterday morning from Sofi wondering what I was doing for new years (I've been so focused on the competition and Chrissy that it pretty much had fallen out of the map)
Very happy that I will be spending new years with them! Thank you Sofi :) much appreciated and really looking forward to it!!!

Gym tonight at Delta, feels good, I'm rapidly getting a lot better! Not much of a stuffed nose, except the normal in and out of the cold one! Happy about that! It's squat time today too!!! A bit later than normal since I'm doing some overtime to be able to leave at lunch the 23rd!

Gooosh i'm tired today! About 20cm of beautiful newfallen powder snow came over night! Fantastic! However it didn't wake me up much lol just wanted to cuddle down in the duna hehe
Still feel stuffed but no throat soreness or headache! Weight hase gone up :)
Training tomorrow :) although I think city will be the go since u can take the tube there. Tibble is very close to Täby centrum, the huge shopping mall and i have à Feeling that getting a carpark will be mission impossible! I guess I could leave it parked where I catch the train from and walk (10-15 min) there to pick it up after but.. Will be good going to Delta too :)

Happy that I sorted out the Xmas presents early so I don't have to worry about the now!
Soo looking forward to Thursday too! Me and sis are making a gingerbread house :) I even got pink frosting haha if we feel like going wiiild and crazy lol

None of the plans I had for the weekend happened but we can do that later! I hope I stay well for a while now...

Mum got a call from the people that swaps her tires (winter/summer) and also stored them for her. The guy says "how's your car?" mum says "good why?" he's says, "well I've got you enter tyres here"
Mum put her car in for tyre swapping in October...
So either they took the car for a day, charged her but didn't swap or there took someone elses tyres... If thats the case then where is her summer tires???
We have a lit of snow and she drives a lot so she would have slid of the road if she's on summer tyres... She does drive slow but..
What a stuff up... Id swap company for sure..

Wathing a tv program about an actress that is normal sized and is excercising 3 days a week that will stop training and eat whatever she wants (ie fast-food and such) fir six weeks and see what happens to her body... Interesting!!!

Saffron bread (sweet)

This is a high fibre version, 100g of bakepro (protein powder that will be okay in the oven) 200g of Dinkel flour, 30g of po-fibre and 250g of light quark, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of bicarbonate and ½ a gram of ground saffron and liquid sweetener after taste. Mix everything together and bake for about 25 minutes in 160 degrees. 207 kcal, 23g protein, 26g of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fat. Warning tho, tastes great but will make your belly work a lot of you over eat ;)

Christmas lollies
This is almond paste as a base dipped in white and dark (70%) chocolate. The dark chocolate ones I used peppermint essence to flavor the almond paste. You can do so much with almond past, color it, flavour it and creat the cutest little figures. Its a very traditional Christmas lollie that kids love to make. We used to make litle animals, santas and only your imagination sets the limit.

Dark and white chocolate treats.
The dark chocolate with white dots are also flavoured with pepper mint, the white I left as is. The dark chocolate with the pretty hearts have some dried fruit/nuts to make them look and taste a bit different. Don’t they look pretty? Delish too! Now all I have to do is wrap them up and give away as gifts (soon as they are tasty as haha) hopefully there will be some left for chirsmas ;)

These are pretty much the same as the above chocolate with dried fruits and nuts only in a different format.

The cute little hearts are just sugar decorations to make it look a bit more festive :D

My my, Im getting back to normal, well, I can still feel it but atleast my throat isnt sore, not spewing or feeling like I have nothing at all in my body. Managed to get a fair bit of food (and some chocolate) in me yesterday and that did the trick. I am stuffy and sneazing constantly (whatthe) but feel a lot better!
I'm feeling very inspired by Sportsgirl and lissfit today and I reckon Ill try to do some baking!

Didnt lose to much weight these last couple of days (thank god) and I reckon baking some nice yummy christmas candies and saffron buns will sort that out ;)
Ill probably try to do  protein enriched saffron buns (lussebullar)

Thank you for your get better wishes! Your all so sweet!

Yesterday morning I felt fine, slight sore throat but ok, during the day tho I started to feel strange and after lunch I felt reaaaly bad.. Had to go home from work and at home it just went real bad... Lunch came up and I've got winter flue, I'm stuffed... In bed... No good :(

Oooh it seems like it's going to be a white Christmas this year! Temperatures will be below zero so the snow that's here will stay but it also looks like it's going to be snowing too!!! Hihi

Making dad dinner on Saturday! And having some wine and glögg hihi well se how that goes ;)
In Sunday I'll be meeting up with Alina in the city for Christmas market in the old parts of Stochkholm :D looking forward to it!!!

And I can really recommend mixing avocado with buffalo (or goat cheese) and have that in your wraps! YUM! (guess what Im having for breakky haha)

Was a bit tired yesterday since I didnt get proper sleep but had an awesome bench session power lifting style with brother yesterday! I even managed 2 reps of 55kg. Felt a lot better than normal bench as I have a tendency to use my shoulders to much. I didnt feel anything in the shoulders! Love that! It was a lot to think about (who could have thought you can bench in so many ways) and we only did the basic steps HAHA Ill try to focus on this for a while before going further.
Lessons learned

• Tense body
• Arched back, for training purposes, put toes i the floor
• Squeeze shoulders (backside)
• Lift in an arch (of sorts)
• Have the bar a bit further down
• Use pointy fingers as a marker (instead of pinky) and keep hands a little further apart

Not going to train today, I am reaaaaally sore from the squatting yesterday, in my entire back side and the legs, in a "never done this exercise" way rather than in a raw I went to heavy way if you get my point haha
 :) Have a fantastic day!

Not sore yet but can feel it creeping up on me (from behind haha) the slight stiffness that preludes the full attack of soreness hihi
Didn't sleep very well last night cause my dear beloved neighbours decided that 1am was a great time to move furniture... Hmmm and to fo it for about 2 hours... After a while I also got extremely hungry and had to have some food so no quality sleep! But that's okay :)
I've also decided to keep my nails! I've taken them down and it's working well with the keyboard so for now they will stay! Looks very pretty (my hands are a different story haha the comp color has really set into my knuckles hihi)
I've still got a tan of sorts but it's slowly coming off and it looks a tad bit odd at some places :p

There are more pictures from the comp here

I have just had a great session in the gym with my brother! It was awesome and a lot of fun! We did power lifting squats. The difference is that its a mix of sumo squats (very wide legs) and normal squats. It felt great, I didn’t go overly heavy as I don’t want to push my luck! But I learned a lot and I can feel that I’m going to be sore! I didn’t even need the heel support since it was a better position for my legs and knees! Brother did very well too and it was good tempo (not a power lifting talk a lot tempo haha) Loved it!

Tomorrow well do a power lifting bench session! Ive decided to train for fun for a while, do what I feel like and enjoy it! And today I really enjoyed it!!! Crazily and the time just flew! Great session :D

Training with my brother and doing it power lifting style is great fun and very good for learning techniques! (yes Im high on life right now hahaha)

Lessons learned

 

• Get good flat shoes (like converse) that will enable you to keep your legs stable and give support so that your knees will be fixed in the position.
• Keep your lower back as arched as possible and your back as straight as possible
• Keep your feet slightly wider than your shoulders
• Do one session of lower weights to focus real hard on the performance (a week)
• Do one session of heavy sets so that you get used to real heavy weights. Not so deep. (a week) perfect for me that wants to build more butt!
• Do box squatting, where you have a bench to sit on and actually sit down and rise up again, taking the weight of your legs (that one was real hard and ill be doing that with the bar only for a while)
• Do pause squats, where you stop for a second in the lowest position.
• Get a proper belt for the heavy session (don’t use it all the time as you will need to build your core strength, but good for the heavy sessions so you can load a bit more)

Belly is still a bit iffy so Ill be keeping the foods more normal for a while :D had a wrap with avocado, fresh greens, Philadelphia, avocado and eggs for breakky! Yummy!!!!!!!!!!! Loads of tea with milk and roasted vegetables and roast beef for lunch. Big wok with chicken and cheese for dinner and will have some fluff and a egg sandwich a bit later.

Strong man comp at the festival after the comp

oooh! im going to train with my brother today, we are training power lifting squats/legs, would love to have a power lift butt haha an he reckons he has just the medicine for it :D

Soo... the plan for now!
I'm going to try to get a balance without the early cardio and only train fun sessions until second week of January (going up north in the beginning of jan so that will be skiing and ice skating and no gym lol) when I'll get back into more structured training! Now I'm just going to enjoy gym, food, Christmas, friends, glögg haha and level out the day to day life!

okay, bit of energy now that I have had a fair bit of food lol

Friday:

We started earlyish and took the car down to Gothenburg. Got to Lisebergsbyn around 17.00.
It was an absolutely stunning winter drive. It was sunny and everything was white! Ice cold and beautiful!

During the trip we had a few meals of cold potato, rice and chicken. mmm yummy... well at least in the beginning.. we cut the salt on Friday to start dehydrating. This was what we ate Friday/Saturday. Let me telllllll yaaaaaa it wasn’t very tasty on Saturday hahahaha we started applying layers of paint on friday night. It was hard and we did 4 layers on Saturday.. it took a lot of time... It didnt end up very good, the girls did an awesome job but it was hard painting with the brush... luckily they had a guy there that could save us and he spray tanned us a couple of times to make us look good on comp day! Never ever ever doing the painting again. spaying is sooo much easier and about the same dollar wise.... lesson learned.... We dropped the water on Saturday. On Saturday we managed to get a few hours in on the fitness festival, I bought to many bars hahaha I dont normally eat them but couldn’t help myself... also a lot of protein, I dont need to buy any supplement for a loooooooooong time now... anyway, I didnt manage the crowd for very long, no energy, crowded and I got soo tired... thankfully the girls understood and we got home (to do more paining)

Sunday morning we got up early to do some more painting, get a last meal of cold potato/rice and chicken Blerg now.. and no water... then after a couple of hours we had a goey mush of vitargo, quick carb powder mixed with a minimum of water. like eating glue... yum... then packing and away. Of course the backstage area was freezing cold and the classes before us got delayed and we had to wait wait wait.... then all of a sudden it was time to get up on stage. we tried to time the warm-up and ate some chips (to draw fluids in the muscle and get pump) whilst getting our bikinis glued to our butts hahaha and spray tanned. It was hectic!!! we got on stage and stayed there for a long time.. its very very hard to stand in the front position, not being able to shift, look happy and smile. It was painful! Our muscle started jumping/cramping even the lips started cramping from smiling so much hahaha then we got to do our 4 poses (in line ups) and got let of stage.

We had 10 minutes to change into bathing suits, get the tan fixed, have some food, put makeup/jewelry on and then get back on stage (not very good... would have needed atleast 30 min...) it was insane, it was like booom on stage and booom back up again.. sheeesh.... it was a shorter round and I got told of because I had some blue feathers in my hair... apparently not allowed.... crazy... anyway, one girl didnt manage to get on stage in time and she wasnt allowed to compete...very hard... they didnt give her much notice either.. It was a final (for the short class) judging because apparently some girls had the same points...
I didnt manage it to finals but that was okay, I was amongst the smaller girls and although being disappointed at the time looking at the pictures now its okay, they looked a bit bigger/fuller. I am very inspired to akeep up the work and build some more.
After the competition we went and saw my sis, had some coffee while Johanna buzzed off to do a photo shoot. It was good being able to spend some time with sis, try some bars, have a drink and relax. Got a bit stressed anyway because Johanna never (it felt like) came back and we had to drive Alina to the airport. We did manage to get her there in time but it was stressful...
After that we drove back to the cottage and got a nice long shower, got most of the color off (thank god haha) and we went out for chineese. We finished the night of at the supermarket buying a fair bit of snacks.

Johannas brother and friend stayed at the cottage till 4am (slept over) to catch an early train home. We got up at 7.30 (I had about 2 hours of sleep, very energetic from all the food) and went to breakky buffe! Loved it! We hit the road about 10 and got home 5 hours later (stopping for food and such on the way) I have spent the evening loading up photos on facebook and cleaning up and getting things ready for the week . AND EATING I am very very full at the moment hahaha…..

That’s the short version of the weekend. It has been a great trip, loved it that my sis came and watched, loved the girls and the entire thing (well except the rice and the painting…)
Our lovely little helpers did such an amazing job looking after us and I am so thankful for that! They are truly great girls and not once did they complain! I am stunned and hoping I can repay by being there for them if they decide to compete! Thank you so very much!

It doesnt seem like I can upload picutres at the moment but I will try again tomorrow!

absolutely exhausted! I was going to write a long post about everyting but Ive slept like 2 hours last night and just gotten home. Pictures are here
(there will be more of the entire trip later) Its been a geat weekend and Im very motivated! I can see I need a lot more mass over all to be able to compete properly but Im very happy with what ive done so far!
facebook album

Me and Johanna back stage (yes the color makes one look insane)

Massive day yesterday! Ive not slept much! Loads of pictures! Getting up in an hour to get hotel breakky, pack and then home! I'll give you guys a update with pictures later tonight!

Thank you all for your good luck wishes! We have just had a fantastic meal of rice, potato and chicken haha
The color looks good and were putting on a second layer soon!
The form is improving too! Felt really flat last night and undefined but looking a lot harder now :)

Check in at the cabbin done and been meassured and looked at! Feel flat tho and no definition... The trip has gone great so far!! Last meal soon and an early bedtime!!!

most color came off lol ah well...
picking the final stuff for the trip, getting picked up in 1.5 h :)

hmmm did a spray tan with a ordered comp color, looks gone but has already worn off in places ???? says self tanning on it.. strange...

I have a butt!!

Pheeeeew tad bit stressed ATM... Sitting outside the seamstress waiting for her to get back from lunch (I'm early) were doing the final touch and I'm picking them up! I've packed 60% and cooked everything but the rice! After this I'll be heading to the gym then posing practice, need to sort out some final things then home to keep cooking and packing and at 7 it's spray tanning time!
I've also gotten the first view of the photos but they are so many and since they are too big it takes a minute to load each photo so it takes to much time!!! Gaah! Very hard to go back and look at them again cause it takes about 4 hours to browse them...

Absolutely stunning day!!1

Nails done!

Bought a new Helly Hansen jacket yesteday (had 2 hours to kill between work and posing tranining

Full speed ahead! Bf yesterday 6.52% feeling ready! Breakky in belly (same as yesterday) about to hit the shops/do nails/more shops/gym and then home to start a massive cooking session. Going to prepare mine and Johannas load food and the lunches for next week. Hopefully Ill get some time to do a bit of cleaning and look over the list of things to bring :)

Crunchy creamy and gooey! Today's carb deload breakky! Fried 28% fat cheese with full fat Philadelphia and a fried egg! Great mix of textures!

Firefox is working and windows back to normal, weeeell sort of anyway and oldish messenger is up and running! iTunes isn't tho but 2 out of 3 isn't too bad! I'll sort iTunes out during the week :)

Rolling back the stupid windows update I did last month... Restart restart retard... Gaaah!!! Hopefully it'll make my firefox work as well as make window run a bit quicker (got veeeerry slllllooooow)
I also found the old windows messenger in my work computer... If anyone wants it let me know... The fingers crossed I'll be able to install iTunes as well... Gotta love the well tested windows software... No not ironic aaaat all ;) lol

Had a great chest session at the gym too! Live the spray-tan too. Can see why one would get addicted to it!

hmm Ive just realized that I wont be working a full week until week 2 next year! Thats 6 weeks totally of working short weeks! Sounds good to me :D
Today is the last normal training day, tomorrow is resting day but Ill be doing some posing practice :p then glycogen depletion training on Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday is also last cardio day! There is quite a bit things to do the coming days...
Get nails done, spray tan, suits finalized, buy and prepare food for the loading for both me and Johanna. Buy green and blue hair clips.
Get sponges for the color. Pick packages up and pack as well as scrub and mosssssiturize... I'm sure ive forgotten half of it but... have some time to think about it :)

At lovely steninge castle! Loads of glasware, santas and candy candy candy! Loved it!

Last leg session in the bag! Now food then mum is picking me up and were going to steninge slott :) for some christmas feel

My winter wonder land!

Oh wow! I got 10 hours sleep! My body loved my carb load haha im heading out for a walk as soon as I get out of the bed! With my camera ;)

Had a great photo session! Great guys and loads of fun! I cold have filled more since I didnt get the pump I wanted but Im happy about it anyway! ill get the photos next week :) I was also told that the girlfriend also a photographer from the same company would want to contact me and do some fotographing ;) She better hurry so that I dont gain to much for her ;) hahaha

I did react a lot on the plasmajet and I will try again tomorrow since I think it has something to do with the fact that I didnt each much protein, hadnt managed to fill up properly.. Well see what happens tomorrow... I felt like fainting... geeeeee

Good getting makeup done :) got some good tips about how to apply for the show as well!!!!
Now im DRINKING a lot haha

also having some firefox problems... updated stupid windows and now I cant install ITunes or get firefox to work NOT HAPPY

Lucky its not cold ;)

This tea smells like Xmas :) Havent tried it yet but looking forward to!

the last carb deload dinner (this time around) 2 eggs, 70g cheese and 20g Bearnaise sauce. LOL very tasty and filling and feels strange but its working...

Had a very quick arm session today, did super sets then posing practice, I have dropped a lot of fluids and its looking good. My legs have come thru a LOT! :) as well as my belly! Happy with that!

Best slippers :) Love them! Got them this weekend hihi

There are specks of ice in the air floating aroun, very pretty! Im wearing my gympants over my double layer of tights and 2 layers of legwarmers hihi works! Belly is a bit wonky today but other than that I'm used to low cabs now and the head is good!
Took it a bit easy at the gym yesterday, don't want to risk anything, it was still a good session with good contact in all of the back :)

Yesterdays headclogg is better, it takes some getting used to lol but well see what today brings... 15 below zero today :) the good thing is that the air isn't very moist so it's easy to clean up the car windows hihi tomorrow they have forecasted -23! Hopefully this means that the ice will become thick quickly so there will be an opportunity fir some long-distance iceskating :)
Weight has dropped a little more overnight, bit of trouble sleeping since I had to get up x times to pee... Hmmm
I think I'll skip dropping the salt too, don't want to mess to much with my body. It looks good as it is and a carbload will be enough!
Stay warm or cool if your in Ozzie/NZ :)

mmmm starting to feel the carb de-load now, cloggy in my brain... it'll pass in a couple of days (just in time for the refill haha) but Im tired now.. i forgot my buss-card ticket thing so I have to train in Tibble today as I only have 1 trip left on my save me paper ticket... Im down to 55.6 kg ATM and I can see my adams apple a lot more, looks ehm bad...
ZOoooooooooooned out in my head... 3 days to go...
had a great time yesterday if I didnt mention it :)

So yesterday ended up being jam-packed with stuff to do, fell in love with a white winter jacket but its way to big and I have to return it :( they didnt have my size.... bit un lucky... Went and got my betterbodies outfit for the photo-shoot after the posing practice and then home to make my lunch boxes (salmon with pesto and green leaved veggies) for the week. Well... I havent prepped the greens since I dont want to put them in the freezer hehe Then home to mum and crashed in bed around 11.
Today Im going to the gym again, split yesterdays session up so I can focus 100% on hamstrings and butt today and then meeting up with Ida her son and a friends of hers son to head into the city to see Sammys adventure in 3D LOVE IT! Sofie and Charlie is meeting us in the city as well!!! I cant wait!
Then... returning the jacket, heading to my brothers to pick up a couple of dumbbells that I can use for the photo shoot and warm-up for the competition.

In regards to the carb de-load for the photo-shoot, Ive started to take down my carbs, today's target is 50g (snacks on the movie will be full fat cheese) and up the fats. Ill continue down this path until Thursday afternoon. Dinner on Thursday will be chicken and potatoes to start filling up a bit. Then dropping the water intake after that. Ill be keeping the sodium reasonably high during the first days of the week to drop it before I drop the water. Then Friday morning ill be continuing to fill up on carbs, little salt and fats to draw the fluids into the muscle. Potatoes and bananas are high in potassium so they help to do that as well. At 10 ill be spray-tanned, then at 14 ill be getting makeup and then photographed after that. Training will be as usual, only Ill be at the gym Monday - Wednesday to rest the day before the shoot. I might do some light leg work Wednesday to draw glycogen out but nothing major. It will interesting to see how it ends up being. Im not doing a full refill or a full de-load since I dont want to mess with my body to much...

We are now 15 girls in the tall class :) My weight is about the same and I expect that to drop a little during the week since Ill be taking down the carbs and losing fluids in the process. Im keeping the calories as is :)

Since I have my photo shoot on Friday this coming week Ill be taking the carbs down to 50-60g a day and the final 2 days a bit lower, and since I have to keep my calories up I have to raise the fat content. Im not allowed to go over 2.5 g /kg bw in protein (Im currently on about 4g/kg bw) and I find it way to easy to eat even more protein... The reason for keeping the protein "low" (its not low with 2.5g - normal people find this high) is that the body becomes accustomed to converting the protein into a form of carbs in the body, its a costly process but nevertheless the body can do it.
So the coming 2 weeks will be a challenge haha I have just been to the shops and LOL funny diet food... full fat cheese, cream, pesto and Bearnaise sauce for the week. The bananas, peanut butter (as well as honey) will be refilling food for Thursday/friday am. The milk is a new sort and it says that its supposed to "fluff" better so Im going to try to fluff on that for a few days to take the carbs down (replacing the berries) well see if thats a go or not...

Now Im heading to the gym and Täby Centrum (more shopping) and later its posing practice with the girls in the city and tonight I'm going over to mums (with a lunch box) for some haircutting and coffee drinking. 2 weeks out and Ive had to take out the re-feed days for these 2 weeks - tighten up even more :)
