I’m bummed

He is supposed to start a free time activity tomorrow but we have to cancel it.

Happy Friday my boos!

Today has been an OK day. The struggle with abstinence of Pepsi Max is real (I’m addicted so while doing my healthy lifestyle turnaround, I’m also working on my addiction) and I can honestly say, I have ONLY had 50cl today! Which is ridiculously little!

My addiction to Pepsi Max is out of control. I drank up to 6 L per day, so imagine how I am now and how I feel with this struggle. It’s working sort of. I wish it could have been easier to just stop all of it instantly.

So far – I am dead proud of myself 👏🏻

“I’m gorgeous, right? Bleeh jokes on you! I’m not!”
Filter for lashes and the heart things.

After the walk I had earlier today (read HERE), I actually had a little bit of “home spa night,” which I normally have on Sundays, but today I felt I wanted and needed it.

I was supposed to go to a meeting today, but I had to cancel it on my part (M went on it luckily) due to taking care of E when he has a stuffed nose and is sick. He was supposed to go to school today, but nope, I had to report him sick, so it’s been a… “calm”-ish day. M had worked, came home, and ate. I got ready and went out on the walk at the same time as the grocery shopping. So much needed for my brain and mind. Even though the walk was short—but hey, sunlight, music and frost—I’m not saying no to that (could have skipped the frost and the cold part though)

Tomorrow E is supposed to have his very first hockey practice.  J (my friend) is training (again) in hockey, so I have spoken with her, and she checked with her trainer, and E is allowed to train with J and the girls. Sadly, that has to be canceled as well. Hopefully next weekend will work!

today in list;

  • I did fall asleep this evening
  • I have eaten three carrots with aioli dip (not much) as night snack before bed
  • I have watched one episode of 1000lb Best Friends, and I get more and more motivated and inspired.
  • Grocery shopping
  • Been out on a walk
  • Felt proud of myself for the first time in a loooong time
  • E asked if I wanted to play with his toy trucks and I dropped everything I did and joined him.
  • Messing around on the floor (yes, I lay on the floor. No construction service was needed to call to help me get up of the floor. Lol!)

That’s pretty much my day.  Nothing special. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

1000lbs Best Friends made me a bit motivated.

The TV show is opening my eyes. I never thought it would do that but now I am slowly adjusting my life and my habits.

1000 lbs Best Friends is the show I am currently watching. It’s actually an eye-opener for me. I know I am big and overweight, and I have been working on it but this show actually shows me tips and tricks on new ideas and life choices. 

(I’m writing this for me but heeeey boo! Thanks for reading. I hope you are having an amazing day)

In one episode I have watched, they have visited a fitness center where they had kickboxing and boxing. I have been interested in that for a long time, and seeing how much fun they had, them sharing their problems, etc., makes me actually want to look into it. Instead of just going on walks and photowalks. I want to do something else.

I went to the gym before, and I went there pretty much every day, but I had to quit because it was causing more problems mentally, and I couldn’t go there. So the gym is off the radar right now, but maybe later.

I have started to write a “food diary.” I have been against it my entire life. I thought it was ridiculous, but honestly, I need to, just to see, for example, which time of the day is worse, what I eat, etc. This time I’m going to try. Yeah, I know I talk a lot about weight loss, etc., but I have been struggling my entire life with weight problems (PCOS, genes, etc.).

Food diary ● look up boxing or some kind of workout activity ● Find a therapist to talk about my problems ● Work on my bulimia ● Work on my diabetes

So as you see, it’s a lot to do but I’m going to try.

Sunlight yet minus degrees Celsius outside

Sunlight, cold-biting cheeks and .. Just breathing

Today I have actually been out for a walk. I needed to get out of the home and clear my mind. So much is going on in my head and you all know me. photos is always taken!

Click on make bigger size (all off those)

Even when the sun was out and shone so beautifully, it was freaking cold. Now the winter is coming. They have already warned about snow—I am NOT ready for that!

My walk was just approximately 30 minutes; I wasn’t dressed properly, but at least I was out. Windy and biting feelings on my cheeks. Now I actually have a headache after the cold on my forehead. I forgot my headband—well, I didn’t think/know that I needed it. From now on I will use it.

Today’s dinner

Swedish sausage stroganoff with rice with vegetables,  boiled carrots, button mushrooms and onions.

Grocery shopping

I have also been to the store and bought all bran flakes, müsli, bananas, yogurt, etc. Just to keep up my “healthy” breakfast & before-bedtime snack—Turkish or Greek natural yogurt with muesli. I do need to buy frozen fruits, though, instead of using a bit of strawberry jam to get some flavor.

QUESTION..

Do you wish for recipes i try on my weightloss journey? Or do you have any recipes?

My recipes will not contain eggs & seafood . I don’t eat that
