It was definitely a fun weekend. London is always a wonderful place to visit for a long weekend, you never run out of things to do. We ate out a lot + alcohol wasn't exaclty banned, but I'm pretty happy how well I did. I did check my weight yesterday when we got home and I was quite pleasantly surprised that it was...

The rest of the week is going to be very odd for me. I am going up to London tomorrow to meet up with a bunch of friends. This means alcohol, lots of eating out, no working out.. On the other hand we will most likely be walking a lot, shopping and sight seeing being something we've planned. I'm quite confident that I'll...

I was so right yesterday when I said it was just sodium build up that caused the 300g gain. Made sure to stay away from salty food yesterday and drank a lot of water, which resulted in the scales giving me the magical number 78,6kg this morning. 800g loss from yesterday. :) I'm also changing workout programs today. As much as I love...

Can only blame myself for that gain, yesterday's takeaway dinner most likely left some sodium build up in my system and that 300g is water weight. Awful self discipline, haha. We were dogsitting (five dogs running around the house all night!) and my other half's parents wanted to get us dinner as a thank you. Obviously not a huge gain and it'll vanish...

Ok let's start this post with positive things. This week has been absolutely fantastic weather wise, couldn't wish for better spring really. Clear skies, sun shining and it's warm! Out of all my workouts this week I think I've only done one indoors, I've just gone for long walks every day instead. Decided to take my camera with me and took quite a...

A friend of mine linked this picture to me earlier today. And unfortunately it seems to be incredibly true. I read a lot of different fitness blogs and every single one keeps getting spammed by people who only want to upset the blogger. Every time I read about it, it just makes me wonder. I'd quite like to know what makes people behave...

Ever since I was a kid I never liked cottage cheese. I just found the texture of it so disgusting that I could barely finish a spoonfull of it. I was like that with a lot of things, but over time most of these food dislikes have disappeared (tomatoes, cheese, gherkins, onions..). And as of today, so has the dislike for cottage cheese!...

Well, what a nice surprise! :D If this is what intermittent fasting does to you, I'm very happy. I'm not looking to lose quite this much every week though, I prefer to do it slow as it's healthier. I've nearly hit the same number as I did my first weigh in (-2.6kg), when I lost all that water weight from my body. Good...

Was browsing some old pictures today and one picture caught my eye. Puffy side profile of my face, looks quite horrifying. Guess I should take this as a progress picture in a way, it just shows how much I've actually lost so far. :D The first picture was taken 28th May 2012, second one today. ...

So I was checking something in MyFitnessPal and it kinda made me chuckle. I tracked my lunch earlier and apparently half a pizza takes away 2 147 483 648 calories from my budget. :D Funny bug, the whole thing was just going spastic. Had to redo the entry for it to work properly again. And yeah I'm aware of my screen being cracked,...

I read a gaming forum daily, and the health & fitness forums over there never stop to amaze me with the amount of dribbling idiots post there. Now, I'm not saying I'm an expert with all this stuff but there's two things that constantly come up. "Don't ask for advice here, go to a professional website." I mean what? Just because it's a...

Going to see a back specialist today. It's my second visit to this same specialist, today it's time to decide if I want to go through with the back op or not. I'm quite torn about it in all honesty. I'd like to get rid of this problem to be able to live my life normally again, but I've read so many stories...

In order to try and get rid of this silly plateau I've been stuck at for ages, I'm going to change things around a bit. Exercise wise I'm going to start doing other things on my cardio days, such as swimming, walking and cycling. I'm still a bit unsure about cycling as it could be quite painful, but I suppose I'll just have...

I'm getting so fed up with this plateau. Need to mix things up for a few weeks, maybe swap my cardio to something else than the BR workout. Just annoys me that I dont see progress on the scales.

The weather has been so awful over here for so long now that any bit of sunshine makes me incredibly happy. I wanted to take advantage of the fantastic weather and went for a long walk, I probably spent close to an hour out there. And can you blame me? I also bought myself some earrings! I can't even remember when I've worn...

I finally entered the magical world of Pinterest last night. I just opened the health & fitness boards and started browsing. The amount of wonderful exercise plans, recipes and motivational posters on that board is just amazing. I even started my own board after a while just to keep all those nice things in one place. http://pinterest.com/mmmeeria/health-fitness/ I'll try to add as much...

It has taken me three months to start noticing very big differences in my body. Taking pictures frequently really helps me notice things, I don't think I'd see anything change if I didn't. Arms. There's two pictures of me I absolutely hate because my arms look so massive in them. The second picture was also the picture that made me realise that I...
