Another down and let’s get started!

“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” – Steve Maraboli.

My son is currently listening to “Nu kör vi igång,” meaning “Let’s get started” in Swedish, while playing his drums, and honestly, the song is right! Though the song is about something else, that line, “Let’s get started,” and “Let’s keep going” is such a powerful lines, and that will help me keep going to achieve my goals.


Today, I have made my decision to only step on the scale once a week. Just to try not to become a maniac with the obsession to go on the scale again several times a day like I normally do but keep an eye on the weight so I don’t gain it all and keep the motivation up.

So I will step on the scale every Sunday to see what I have “to work with” the week after. 

The scale shows -4 kg since Monday. Yes, I dropped another kilogram since yesterday, so let’s keep going!

  • -4 kg (2025.11.16)
  • Keep going on the goals
  • Today I will make hash browns for E and I will have a frozen dinner ( Chicken Butter Masala, home made) and some veggies.


Today’s to-do: clean the apartment ● fold laundry ● hang up clothes ● sort old clothes out from E’s closet that he has outgrown ● maybe meal prep (if time)

The second challenge

Trying so hard to not fall for the temptations of unhealthy stuff is really difficult.

I promise I won’t only write about the weightloss journey but I will share updates, progress etc. So I can go back to my blog and read if I lose the motivations one day

Grocery shopping,

the second challenge

I went grocery shopping today. I was missing a few ingredients for today’s dinner (changed plans), and while being at the store, I struggled so much. They had freshly baked cinnamon buns, and those are also my weakness. I took a picture and sent it to my friend and wrote, “I am tempted.” She said, “Nope!” so I answered her, “I walked away,” and I am proud of myself! I did NOT buy any! It’s not often I buy them, but today it was awful how they triggered me, but I managed to resist the temptations! Plus points to me!

Grocery list;

  • 2 bags of onions
  • 2 bags of carrots
  • 1 parsnips
  • 1 2kg bag of potatoes
  • Some bananas
  • One healthy yogurt natural
  • Lemon mayonnaise (the only unhealthy thing)
  • 1 bag of frozen vegetables
  • 1 package of button mushrooms
  • Pepsi Max (I will continue being strict with myself)

I changed my mind on today’s dinner and I am actually (be shocked! because I am!) craving fish! That has never happened before.

Today’s dinner

(the changed plan)

Fried raw potatoes (I will use measuring cup when making) ● fish ● vegetables ● button mushrooms ● onions ● boiled carrots ● maybe a bit of the parsnip as well

Yes I know i eat button mushrooms a lot but hey, atleast they are healthy!


I have also started to eat carrots as night snacks before bed; that’s why I bought more carrots. I have honestly made a 180 on my lifestyle when it comes to food. Maybe I should say… 300°, not fully 360° yet.

First impression to give?

What’s the first impression you want to give people?

Well, honestly, I just want people to stop thinking I am a b*tch by my looks. I want to show that I’m a kind person, caring and friendly. Yet people say to me that once they got to know me, they saw that I’m not a b*tch, but it was their first impression, and I don’t like that.

I also don’t want people to think I am rude and annoying. Judgemental etc.
