Oh My Gooood!!! Sick quad/calf session! Supersetted quads and calf's and that is A KILLER! Sheesh! Almost threw up in the end! Massive pump! Good intense 50 min workout! I do love this style of training, excellent break/variation from the norm! However I don't think my body could manage this more than a few weeks! It's very tough in a different way! Love it tho and it will be a reoccurring thing in my training sessions after the comp!
Walking was interesting haha bit of stifflegged but nice and fresh!
Do smell a bit like acetone I think lol poor people on the train hahaha revenge is sweet... I mean!!! O noo I hope I font offend anyone ;)

Bit of sad news tho, Sofie had to emergency pullout a wisdomstooth today and is in great pain! She might not make the BB show! I do hope she feels better soon! Hate the dentist :/ and a wisdomstooth... Ouch... Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

Got a good night sleep! Yes fell asleep with a smile seeing that I was so sure I was going to fail the exam! Long day at work then sitting a super hard exam when dieting isn't a great idea lol but I'm stoked I passed!
Gym alone tonight! Quads and calf's today and I reckon a walk outside since it's supposed to be sunny :)
Really looking forward to the roadtrip with Johanna and Sofie to SM in bodybuilding this weekend! Have my camera ready and food boxes planned! Will squeeze in gym early, feel it's a shame not using a calory surplus day and not train, so I'll do shoulders and maybe some chest! + that way Fridays session will be only hamstrings and abs :)

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DID IT!!! I PASSED MY EXAM!!

Great arms / training session! Veins popping on biceps! Super pump in triceps! Quick session and 20 min bike ride + 20 min walk in the city enjoying the sunshine! Walked a different path today and ran across this stunning view
Lollo just came past for a quick chat and now Im doing some washing and watching some TV unwinding before bedtime!

Not such a great sleep last night! Had a fair bit to do after gym and didn't relax so it was hard to calm down! Ah well... Hopefully tonight will be better!
Getting time to buy new jeans too, the current ones are getting to lose in the waist / not over the thighs-and that's good but it's a bit annoying when walking somewhere and my pants ar creeping down... Yes belt helps but I have strange hip bones that stick out and a tight belt isn't too comfortable... Lol what a problem... Won't work for 10 weeks time tho...

Suuuper pumped I'm my back!!! Freakin awesome gym session! Mood is on top an I'm lovin it at the moment! Saw this girl who is competing this weekend and 2weeks ago she looked awesome! She went to hard and now she looks anorectic.. Noo good

Just had a super workout with coach! Giant sets + 1 pumpout excercise! Chest and abs (normal) massive boob pump lol and very good contact in my abs! Great!!!
The lady besides me on the train can't chew her gum with her mouthclosed... It's making me cringe.... Gawd!!!!
Anyway, ran away from the gym without my waterbottle, realized this on the train trying to mix my post workout drink... Mmmm aminos in powder format... Delish... Just get it down lol and try not to caugh hahaha luckily its only 10g so not too much :)

I've decided to take the offer on the house! It's good, over my limit and the guy seems like a solid buyer!!!

2.5 hours in the forest, 20 liters of chantarelles! Even the rare kind, the black trumpet one. WOW! Its all cleaned and at dads place. I cant wait to get to use the black ones, very very spicy and tasty ones.

We even "met" a bite snake (huggorm)

God I felt the dieting yesterday at the gym. had a great session anyhow, shoulders and hamstrings. Decided to walk home and skip ICA stop, took about 40 minutes. Perfect weather!

Then I got home, had a meal of roast beef, chantalle, sweet and sour sauce and raw fried shredded potato. YUM!
Got ready to go to Louise's, did feel a bit worn however... We hit the forest and managed to pick about 3-4 liters of chantarells in a couple of hours. Then we had the best meal ever. Artichoke that you pick apart and eat, if you want you can dip it in salt and butter. Main was beef tenderloin and chicken on the BBQ, fried chantarells, oven baked vegetables and Bearnaise sauce. For dessert there was apple pie with ice cream and mint chocolate. Yes had a few servings... fantastic night. I crashed around 9 and couldn't keep my eyes open. Went home with a belly full and hit the bed around 10ish. I slept for 11 hours. INSANE! I really needed yesterdays both the food and the sleep... I have had a stressed out week with to little sleep and today I feel awesome. Just came back from my morning walk and have had "breakky" going to dads in a tick to pick some more chantarelles (tratt kantareller) I hope you have had a great weekend and that your feeling as good as I do today!

The tratt kantarell (chantarelles)

Starter - do looks funny but was delish!

Yumminess

just eeeeeeeeeeeat it hahaha making dinner with the girls

Lindas awesome doggy!

Great gym session last night. I almost didnt get off work, but thankfully my boss saw what was happening and stepped in and helped me out. I got a little bit stressed and arrived to gym a tad bit late but it wasnt just me, coach was even more delayed. Had a long warmup on the bike, then quads, calf's and abs. I felt weakish but it was actually a great session and thinking of it now I dont think I was any weaker than normal, just stressed and its been a hellava week... did forget my shoes, I cannot believe I did that, the one day I really need them... However doing leg presses barefoot was good! My feet stayed put!

Today, Ive just been out on a walk, have a big portion of oats and cottage cheese mixed with berries. Ill train early today since Im going to lollo's early.

In regards to oats, I am following a interesting discussion about depression and foods. Apparently oats releases serotonin in the brain, its a feel good feeling. Some people that have depression have a low level of serotonin. No Im not depressed, but I do get a bit low in the winter time darkness so I find this very interesting.  


Oats contain antioxidants such as IP-6, vitamin E, and zinc. Avenanthramides keep blood cells from sticking to artery walls.
Oats are a good source of vitamin B6, which boosts the brain's levels of serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter. Serotonin aids relaxation and sleep, and fights depression. Serotonin goes down in winter when there's less sunlight. Manganese, used in bones and connective tissue and in producing energy. Zinc, used in growth, immune system, and sexual development. Folic acid. Soluble fiber.

Im going to go to ica stop on the way home from gym and get some of that lovely spicy thai beef noodle salad!

YAY! Just saw a new Irene Huss movie they are showing on TV on Sunday! Eldsdansen, well new and new... Ive not seen it so new for me :D

ouch me been very dusty in the head today, long long day of learning new stuff and at the end of the day I was exhausted. Went to the gym and gooood it was great to disconnect the brain and just train. Had a good session, lots of pump in chest and focus on fillets of the back and aaah it felt good. I decided to make it a bit different with the cardio. Spent 15 minutes on the treadmill to then throw on my clothing and keep the heat going and walk to the train. Took about 20 minutes, so 5 bonus minutes haha had green light all the way YAY and it was good getting the fresh air and to see some normal people. Loved it!

Hmm my place is a mess and I don't like it! Just too tired at the moment! I've also figured out that if I'm a little bit stressed in the mornings my walks gets more vigorous :) good thing! Looking forward to Saturdays girls day at Lollos place! Long walk, play games and create dinner together! Will be great! I'll go to gym early and have already done some preparations for meals next week! Sunday will be chantarell hunting in the forest with bro and dad! That will take most of the day! :)
Looking forward to chest/back session tonight, haven't decided if I'll go to tibble or Delta, coach is supposed to train with Johanna tonight. Last chest/back session! Will be good to separate them, pretty heavy session!

the coolest cakes! no idea what they where (square one and chocolate round one)

Princess cakes

chocolate bars or sausages??? Well for you non Swedish speaking ppl - its sausage.. hmmm

I'm completely fried! It was a hard exam! A lot harder than the trial ones!

Effin O!!! I'm miss hunger today!!!

5 degrees and pitch black at my morningwalks nowadays... Crazy!!! But feels good stll!
Long day today, loads of food I'm my purse sice I've got the exam tonight I had to bring dinner as well!
This week is cake week at work haha 2 people quitting and a birthday as well as a success to celebrate! Insane! Ill post some pictures later! I don't understand how my co-workers do it lol no not a big cake person... Mint chocolate and punch pralines is the shit! Otherwise I'll take a big steak or exotic spicy meal any time of the day lol

Great arms/abs session with coach yesterday! Good pump and I love training arms :D were changing, or rather coach is, the workout routine next week! No more prio training as I've understood but well see a bit later what it looks like! Funfunfun!!!

Feeling normal today! Oddly a little bit swollen but fine otherwise!

after a heavy weekend I'm getting back to normal. I'm still feeling it but fingers crossed it keeps becoming better. I hope you have had a great weekend with loads of love and hopefully some kick-ass training. Ill be studying hard now for the exam this Wednesday! Keep your fingers crossed Ill pass!
You can really see, feel and smell the lovely fall arriving. The leafs are changing colors and the forest smell is strong. I absolutely love it´!

Feeling a bit funny today, I hope it's just diet head and not the pre feeling of what coach just had.

Aaaaah got 9 hours of sleep! Fantastic! I guess I'm entering a period of higher sleep need if you can say that :)my guess is that the rainy dark days have a lot to do with it!
Got soaking wet this morning on the walk but atleast it's not overly cold :)

Nothing going on! What's up with you?
Having a tired day today, good that it's resting day today, seems like it's a bit up and down at the moment! I'm going to bed early tonight! Told the neighbours off because theyve been drilling and hammering late and on Sunday.. Not on!
Starting the creatin load today, got my supplements delivered, sloow protein, vanilla and berry flavored.

Body fat 11.85% and fat free weight is 52kg! Happy with that but taking is with a bit of distance as the measure isn't all that accurate!
Great gym session today! Energy back on top! Venom did a good job too lol

Just ran down to a gym/supplement shop about 5 min from where I work and got a sport drink, no calories, has caffein and beta-alanine and gawd a bit of punch in it lol beta-alanine makes my skin prickle
Havent been to tired today, just wanted a drink and some fresh air :)

Crazy day today! It's been a while since I was this tired! I don't understand cause I slept good over night! I thought I was going to fall asleep at work! Nothing worked! Not coffee not monster... Coach reckons it's the low preassure! I hope he's right and that it'll pass over night! However the gym session was great! Good pump im my boobies! I have a cleft haha its a muscular one cause not much of the boobs left ;) dumbell presses, incline bench, presses and cable cross! Dead's (even managed 2 sets of 8x90kg)chins, seated rows and lats pulldowns! We just trained hard and good! Love it!
Will love the big serving of vegetables and chicken even more in about 20 minutes :) shower,
fix things for tomorrow and eat a bit more and hit my big comfy inviting lovely bed of awesomeness aaaaaah
Fatpinching time tomorrow at 5 to see the bf% hehehe see how that goes... Maybe I've gained the 3kg muscle back that I lost last time I got pinched hihih

Hmmmm it's going to be one of those I'm sooo hungry days today...

Yesterday was great! Long walk in the morning, bit of shopping (no studying... Baaad Nelli) and a good walk and chat with lovely Sofie :)
Coach reckons I'm a bit to controlled and have told me to eat a bit more on eating days.. Well i'm rather before plan than after :) but it's going to be thaifood after gym on saturday!
It's also creatie time now, 8 weeks, means I'll probably put on a bit of weight, yes I know, water but mentally blaah but I guess that's why I have coach to tell me what to do!

Saturday was great. I got my craving for oats satisfied, today I feel nice and refilled. Training was fab! Both coach and Johanna. I felt energetic and got an extreme pump in my shoulders and a good one in my hamstrings. Feeling it today :D bike was good, a bit of company is always a plus!

Crayfish party was great, my brother has a great bunch of friends and I absolutely adore his girlfriend, she is such a lovely person! the tradition on a crayfish party is starting with a cheese pie, then crayfish. And yesterday was no different! Great tasting and just a perfect amount. Ann-sofi (bro's gf) had made a fantastic marscarpone rasberry dessert and it tasted great! I did take it a bit easy on it so to speak, its a lot of calories in mascarpone :) shockingly bad quality on the photos lol

My brother and GF

pie

Crayfish and lovely company

Morning weight of 59 kg. The abs are starting to come out - not what happened last time but Im not complaining. There is still a fair bit to take off but I am 13 weeks out and it does feel fantastic!

Yesterdays training was good, good tempo, not a lot of people but man I was hungry when I got back home and tired. I wanted to stay up a little longer than normal but I just couldnt. So went to sleep early like normal lol and woke up early too haha ah well
Today Ill be training with coach, did so yesterday as well, hamstring and shoulders.
Then home to my brother and the cray fish party YAY! Ive just had a big bowl of oats, as crazy as it sounds Ive been craving that for a while and coach and another dude completeley dissed me for wanting to have oats on my eating a bit extra day LOL
I do feel that I dont want to go crazy on those days since it does slow progress a little. A dinner, bit extra during the day is good and feels good the day after as well.

The weather will be average during the weekend so I think Ill be able to play a bit of PS3 hehe

mmm I have to study as well I guess ;)

Just before training, better light ;)

I absolutely love mornings! Love the morning walk at dawn! The air is nice, crisp and I feel so invigorated!
Ive also ordered the tickets to bodybuilding sm 3rd of October and I can't wait :D will be great! Motivational and inspirational event!!!

hmm just tried the chocolate protein that I bought before. 40g  powder and 2 dl water. Mix until thick creamy texture. The taste wasnt great but the consistency and the texture was fantastic. Next time I order supplements Ill try the wild berry or vanilla I think. Hopefully the taste is a lot better. Might be okay with a bit of cocoa tho...

Managed with the great trick of spilling most of my water in my gym clothes/bag this morning, the clothes almost... almost but wet smelling... dried... I went to the gym after work, used my lovely smelling clothes, luckily the gym was foggy with bad air so i doubt anyone noticed.. trained alone today, had a intense good session, bench is back to the weights I used before the sickness and got real good contact in my back! Fockused on wings today!
Ive gotten to know a few ppl that rides the spinbike after gym so the cardio isn't as heavy as it was before :)

Ive been to the seamstress today and picked out the colors! it will be a green (its really green - doesnt come up in the picture) bikini, blue one piece bathing suit and a black pre judging one.
Im really excited! Love them! she was a lovely lady too! Ill be going there 3 times, one to cut, second to fit and third to do final adjustments and to pick them up. Ill be going early October for the first fitting. These ones wont be as much bling as the pink one. To expensive and Ill probably be better of starting with a good basics and then later on put more money on one bikini.

Im also going to sit an exam the 22nd to become a certified tester. The boss at my current position recommended it to me and he will get me in so I dont have to do the course (:D ) only study and sit the exam. Its great and will save me a lot of time and look great on my CV

Hmmm my head isn't the sharpest at the end of the work day...
Good session, extreme contact in my abs! And shoulders was burning like crazy! Still feel sleep deprived but it's getting better! Seeing changes in my body all the time and that's motivating too!
Going to see the bikini lady tomorrow after work :D
Looking forward to brothers crayfish party on Saturday! Going to offload a whole bunch of beers that's been sitting in my fridge for x amount of months.. Don't drink beer... Ever...

Watching biggest loser Sweden and eating chicken and vegetables..
Good contact in the chest and back today! Good tempo and gymsession! However a bit moody, tired from lack of sleeping during the weekend... Training went good but then Johanna came and Coach started... I just couldn't take it and it didn't get better... Bah new day tomorrow

Busy day today, went on a 90 min morning walk, the weather was great, no wind and fresh outside!
Ive been food shopping, prepping my food for the week, been over to dads place to put his new 46 inch plasma on the wall.
Looks great and he made the shelving system under it himself! It a pretty good looking thing! 
After that I headed over to Lollo's place to go for a walk and give her some photos from the wedding and hens night.
Then I swung past mums place for a chat. Ive just had a big meal of vegetables, chicken and a bit of 9% cheese. Just going to jump into the shower and then Ill be spending the evening on the couch watching tv, maybe a movie even :)

The wedding yesterday was absolutely perfect! They got married in stunning Östra Ryds church. It was a beautiful ceremony and Annelie was stunning. It was a great gathering of lovely people and I got watery eyed. It was soo good seeing them get married. The wedding dinner was at Såsta holm. Beautiful place and great food. I had a great time and there where many laughs and everyone was so happy. I just love them both and they have such a great family.

Isnt she just absolutely gorgeous?

Starter of västerbotten cheese, kaviar and sourcream

Main

and a fantastic dessert of ice creamlike frappe and raspberry sauce.

And of course the wedding cake!

Just... WOW! There was a power lifter comp at the gym when I was there and there was a girl (25 perhaps) squatting 280kg.. Impressive...

Im happy with my body now! Lost more over night and feels on target. I had a great morning walk, nice clear coldish and no wind. Ive got some soreness in my quads and butt from yesterdays session in the gym and I love it!
Yesterday I went over to my friends awesome looking apartment (1y old) very lovely! We went to the garage and fixed the error code on my car (same again - speed transmitter, thinking there is a electrical fault cause it shows the speed) and he told me that one of those error code readers are 800kr, seeing that I paid 600 to clear mine I was robbed. So Ill be getting me one of those and when its a serious error take it to the mechanics.
GAWD!
We didnt go for a ride in his red beauty but watched Expendables! It was good, witty/ironic humor, big action names and action all the way! I quite liked it (now Statham is nice to look at lol)
Today Ill be doing some serious cleaning as Ive not been bothered with it the last weeks and then gym and get ready for the wedding!

:D almost back to what the weight was when all this started! Even tho I've "lost" 2 weeks of weightloss/dieting properly I think it's fantastic!
Still not getting good sleeps but it's okay, it'll be better now and it's almost weekend and hopefully I'll be able to catch up on some shuteye tomorrow :)
I'm probably looking a bit tired too lol cause I forgot to put most of my eyes on hahahaaaaaa (makeup is a funny thing) ah well :p
Dad has bought himself a plasma flatscreen and I'm heading over there to help him attach it to the wall on Sunday! It'll look great I reckon!

Walked to the gym and the sun was shining, windy but clear! Trained chest and back (Ill keep the 10 reps for this week) and 30 min of riding. Went out from the gym and the sky was black and it was pouring down... whatthe...
Looking more and more like myself again, in the mirrors at the gym hardness wise that is. With normal clothes on its hard to see difference lol
Hunger is not bad and mood is up LOL no wonder and diet is on track and hopefully Ill be back in my normal fluid level in a couple of days. Its double edged sword tho, since I have to get up several times a night to go to the loo but its good too lol
Tomorrow Ill be heading over to a friends place after the gym to see to my car, he has a OBD2 (computer car thingy) to read/reset my error message on the car. Then if its not raining (fingers crossed) well go for a ride in the red danger YAY wroooooooooooooom wroooooom and watch a DVD (if I manage to stay awake that late lol)

Whooopti! Down another kg over night! Feels great and a massive relief that the gym session didn't set me back :D I'm excited and thrilled and motivated like h#ll! Really looking forward to gym tonight!

On the way home from gym :) great session, just did 10's to get some blood pumping and not to heavy! Arms/Shoulders and abs! I rode as well, 30 min but same there, not to hard! So far so good! Arms are looking more and more like they did before, belly still swollen but I'm feeling good! I'm going past ICA tonight topic some of my supplements up, anti stress and slooow protein (I've gotten the tip that you can whip it and get a mousse like consistency that I would love to try)
Other than that, I've replaced my smoked cancerogenic ;) sandwich with an omelet with a bit of cheese (ICA's home brand 9%fat) the cheese is tasty and good consistence (low fat ones tend to be rubbery) and the eggs are yum! Not a bad swap at all!

GymgymgymgymweeeeeightsYAY

Soo it seems like the crisis is over! Dropped more than a kg over night and I felt energetic last arvo! Even went shopping! Since I'm not actively are doing anything to drop the water I'm guessing whatever was wrong is over! I'm keeping my fingers crossed :)
Depending on how I feel after work I'll go to the gym and start slowly to get back into it again! If I feel like I did yesterday then most definately!
Met a friend at the train last night and drove her hone! Good to catch up and if time and weather allows I'll go with her, her kids and hubby to the animal park (skansen) on sunday!
Really looking forward to the wedding this Saturday :)
