Guests & candy!

Hello my fellows!

So yes, as you can see from the headline, I ate  little/some candy today among 1 portion of ice cream and 30g of popcorn.... so lets say that I did not eat healthy today! We had quests and movie night and felt rude "not to eat" so I ate... However my total calorie intake was around 1300-1400kcal... which is relatively okay right? I did not exceed my daily calorie limit ( though I feel very full atm cause I usually eat less) but I did not binge.

Sooooo perhaps next time I shall pass all the treats. But at least one comforting part is that I should not gain weight from this "slip" or "unhealthy evening snack choice".

Now however I have to sleep because I am planning on going for a morning run ( 9.00 am yall) in order to consume those "extra calories gained from junk"plus I am furthermore planning on doing my normal 1, 3h to 2,3h normal work out so that I can "balance up" my unhealthy choice. However though I feel guilty about this, I am not going to beat myself up .... I controlled my eating, I did not exceed my daily intake and feeling awful about my choices wont result in a change.... working my butt off tomorrow however will.... so with these thoughts.... I wish all you a pleasant Saturday evening!
and people DO NOT FORGET THIS....

Is this suppose to be summer?

Yaayyy it´s shining... aah.. uups ... it´s raining W*F...?

I am having a strong attitude problem towards Swedish weather... it rains and then it´s suddenly warm and then it rains again! .... Since when the Swedish weather became comparable to English weather? .... Well anyways, since the weather has been sucky my running plans were once again collapsing. My throat was also hurting this morning, so I am not doing any working out today, just to make sure that I won´t get ill or make it worse. I also thought that 2 resting days a week can´t be necessary that bad thing, especially since yesterday´s work out was VERY intense.

So since the weather has been a bit unstable I have been reading about fashion history, movies and without forgetting my countless Spain travel guides. I have been eating pretty healthy and actually relatively small amount today, so my eatings have been good!

Now.... I am off to read more about Chanel´s bags and later today I am gonna be continuing my 90210 marathon...  ( which actually was not suppose to be a marathon... but I randomly saw couple 1 season episodes and since it´s been raining... it turned sort of into a marathon...) Hahah sorry guys for kinda posting about beside my blogs purpose today....  but since this post is my lazy Friday evening post... lets try to put some motivational stuff here a bit so that I will feel a bit better;)....

( this phrase.... should become my motto!)

So here is some Friday night motivation for everyone! Hopefully you will have more work out rich Friday than I have!

The frustration

Hello lovelies!

My day can be summed up into one feeling, frustration. I feel like I am working my butt of and eating healthy, but I am just getting fatter and fatter. It´s a long way to go and change does not happen during one night, but I am a sort of person who would like the change to happen over one night... ( can anyone relate to this feeling!?).  Furthermore my studentloan problem and part time job... ( or rather lack of it)... are bothering and causing frustration as  well which the lovely rainy and cold weather were like a cherry on top of the already crappy and sappy day.

Hopefully tomorrow my day will be better and the weather would get warmer so I would be able to run outside during the weekend!

One of the few good things today was my strawberry banana smoothie I made for lunch... here are some pictures of my eatings today and easy recipe for a smoothie which contains only app. 100 kcal per a glass!

Easy strawberry banana smoothie:
100 g strawberries ( frozen)
1/2 banana
0,25 dl skimmed milk
0.75-2.5 dl water ( depending on how thick you want your smoothie to be)
stevia ( according to your preferences)

Basically what you do is that you just mix everything with a blender & then ENJOY THE DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE!

                                                    1/2 banana, 2/3 apple & raisins


Now  a quick shower and off to bed! Sorry for the rather short post. My bed and blog were fighting... and gonna let u know a secret...this time... my bed wins! Night xx

Temptation evening number 1

The world of temptations we live in!

My day has been super productive and I have been going to store, doing zumba flat abs 3 times, cleaning kitchen and my room and cooked dinner for my family. Since I have barely been eating anything yesterday and day before, today I got really hungry during the evening, especially because I did not finish my dinner ( I only ate perhaps 2/3 of it). My mom had gone to chinese restaurant to get food so I took couple forks of rice with chicken and veggies and it tasted good! ( probably because I was very hungry and my stomach was making serious noises!). I do not want to starve my self so I thought that eating a bit warm food around 20.00 is okay for this once. For everyone who do not know I tend to stop eating solid food after 7 pm, but as mentioned earlier, I do not want to starve my self, especially since I am going to do some jumping jacks tonight and I will need energy in order to finish my workout. 

After eating the chinese food, I felt very lousy about "breaking" my after 7pm rule. I furthermore started thinking about a bag of chocolate candy and finnish "salmiakki mix" ( finnish candy) from my graduation... and I was VERY TEMPTED TO EAT ALL THE CANDY! However I controlled myself and reminded myself about why I am doing this ( oh the gorgeous body  here I come <3). But the thing which actually stopped me from eating candy was the fact that there´s simply zero nutrients or good things for my body in it. Sugars, processed ingredients and bad fats. I had to ask my self " Do you really want to mistreat your body?" "Is a moment of joy and rest of the evening of misery truly worth it?" ... And after a battle inside my head...( which felt like forever) I ditched the candy, took a glass of water and gum and walked away from the temptation. ( YAYYY winner feeling!).

Herb carrotsticks and a piece of dark bread with 1 tea spoon of ketchup, green pepper,tomato,turkey & 5 g of cheese ( one of my absolute fav lunches, so easy so delicious!)

Green Chicken sallad with cottage cheese

Right now I have to just admit that damn ...I am happy for not eating candy. I would have felt very lousy and would have been more likely to do this again in the future. But I believe that this is how the process is and should go. It is suppose to be hard at first but every time you say no to something, you say yes for something else ( in this case I am saying yes to healthier lifestyles and  hotter body). Above you can see some food pictures of my eatings today. Now I am off to do some serious jumping have a great wednesday evening!

Getting Back On Track!

Okay......today I have been eating healthy and doing my work out, so it´s finally official! I am back on track and it feels good. Of course I have lot of making up to do and catching up if I want to achieve my goals on time. However I have a feeling that I will be able to do it and my motivation is surprisingly high! Today I met my friend and we had a looong chat about our graduation party which was crazy! One of the most event rich evenings of my life. NO JOKE.  Everyone were hooking up or getting waisted or doing something crazy and I think that I was one of the few people who did not get drunk (and therefore it´s so funny now how no one remembers anything about the party.... except me;))... but don´t you guys worry! I had  pleeenty of fun ;) ... and okay maybe that sounded a bit wrong... but lets just say it was a HELLUVA PARTY and definitely a night to remember!

Aaaaand noooow..... from a topic to another.... I am super pumped up about Pretty Little Liars episode which is coming up tonight! ( anyone else getting goose pumps?) So I am gonna hit the shower so I can get good night of sleep before tomorrow morning ( cause that´s the earliest when I will be able to find the newest PLL episode here in Sweden)! So now little bit motivation to keep me & you guys going....

Now I am off to shower... sleep tight my lovelies!

Graduation is over &....

Hey peeps!
Sorry for not being active here in couple last days.... I am blaming it on my graduation! So my graduation was simply awesome! I had a big party, around 75 guests. The whole day was a day to remember from the pre party we had at my school, to an actual graduation party.  I had  also a huuuuge after party which was amazing. Now most of my relatives have returned back to Finland and for the first time I had time to take up my computer, blog &make a quick post.

So now.... even though my graduation was amazing.... my eatings were the opposite. My "lets eat 1 piece of cake" did not work at all. Since we had my relatives over my place, we had a massive amount of cakes, candy, chips, salt sticks, pop corn, ice cream, cookies and all the junk and crap food one can come up with. I ended up eating unhealthy food from Friday to Sunday! 3 DAYS pure crap!!! Candy after chips and then top that with tortillas, cheesecake and ice cream... sure the first piece of cake was delicious... but after Friday the food hangover on Saturday was awful. However I was too tired  & felt awful about eating crap that I decided to eat  junk the whole Saturday as well ( God I am blaming on punching my head to wall because of that!). Furthermore on Sunday I was too tired and unmotivated to get my ass up from the cheer and go to gym and work out, since I had unsuccessfully got back on track on Saturday. So long story short I failed my 1 piece of cake goal and now I feel like shit.

May I just say that it feels awful! Your body does not feel good and you feel simply awful, tired passive and fat. I haven´t stepped on scale since my last post and I am not planning on doing my weighting before next Monday ( and by then I hope that my weight will be 45.5 kg-55kg) so that I can  hopefully (so to speak) " undo my3 bad eating days by being healthy this week and working out my butt off". Today I shook myself up and told my self that that´s sick what I do and I have to learn moderation when it comes to eating junk food. So today I have eaten a piece of dark bread  & 1 tiny dark cracker with 1 /4 avocado, cucumber, 2 cherry tomatoes & 10 g of low fat turkey on it. I am planning on eating only watermelon and cucumber today among tons and tons of tea, water and   lemon water ( in order to boost my metabolism) so that tomorrow I could have so called " first normal day without feeling this food hangover".

I haven´t been doing any exercise either so today I am going to do a workout, run or something anything cause I feel like during my graduation I just left all my good work to go. I want to get it back. No more "graduation" excuses. My sisters and relatives went to mc donalds to eat, and I said no to that crap today, and though it feels simply like nothing because of my 3 days of self harm....it´s a step towards healthier life.

I hope that my mistake I made can be a good lesson for all of you, so that you wont make the same mistake which I did! The awful, unpleasant, blowy and fatty feeling after binging is not simply worth of eating junk. You and most importantly your body won´t feel good. I am not doing this ever again. I was thinking that this may happen during my graduation and  besides  special occasions like this, I am able to keep my eatings on track very well. So luckily now I wont be having graduations or birthdays or anything before the end of July so I should NO. I WILL GET BACK ON TRACK! AND even my hard effort of loosing those 4,5 kg may be party gone I will get them back... it´s a process a lifestyle change, one mistake is is natural, almost inevitable, an as long as it stays in that one mistake your life is not ruined.  So now I am making sure that its what it is... one single mistake! So it´s a new week, a new day... I will make it count!
