First sessions at Fitness First

Wednesday, July 31, 2013
I feel amazing. I'm so glad I signed up. I kinda wanted to make a post last night after our first trip to the gym, but I didn't really do much. The initial signing up process took about 15 minutes, getting the membership cards active and so on. Small tour around the gym and after that I met up with my lovely PT,...

New exercise clothes!

Monday, July 29, 2013
I'm so glad all this stuff arrived today! I will go through all the stuff I've bought and then hopefully over the next few weeks I'll have pictures where I'm wearing the stuff so you get a better idea of everything. It's gonna be a very USA Pro heavy post, please do remember that this is just my own preference in exercise clothing...

Target jeans - check

Sunday, July 28, 2013
A lot of women seem to have those "target jeans" in their wardrobe. Those amazing jeans that used to fit perfectly, you looked amazing in them and so on. I did actually grab a pair of jeans with me from Finland when I was going through some of our outside storage buildings. Last time I wore these jeans was 2009, they were by...

WI 30: -0.4kg

Sunday, July 28, 2013
Not much to say about this really. :) A bit off from my target but oh well, there's no rush. Getting started with the gym next week will surely start boosting my numbers every week, can't wait.

Happy happy happy!

It's getting very real now! Oh my gosh I'm so excited I don't know what to do with myself. I've been talking to my course tutor and he said he will get in touch with the exam board to find out if we can work something out because of my operation. He suggested that I'd skip the units that clash with my operation...

Shopping day!

Friday, July 26, 2013
Yay girly stuff today! I do shopping very rarely so a bit of retail therapy was very needed. I ordered a gym bag, some sports bras and workout trousers & shorts. I'll show them off once they arrive, hopefully I'll get them before Tuesday. More about that in a bit. ;) I also ordered myself a Jawbone UP today. I've wanted something like...

Surgery date in the books

Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Most exciting news in a while! Went to see my surgeon this morning (yay for 6.30am start) to pick a date for my fusion. 13th November it is. He went through the operation with me, explaining what goes where and what kind of a scar I will have. It'll be quite a big one, about 15cm or so. Thankfully it'll run along my...

WI 29: STS + progress check

Monday, July 22, 2013
I'm so happy about the weigh in... :D I was expecting a huge gain, various things just made it so difficult to eat right and exercise last week. In fact, my activity was next to none for several reasons. The weather turned god awful on Tuesday, it was rainy and windy and miserable pretty much for the rest of the week. I also...

Finland

Finland, part II

Wednesday, July 17, 2013
Hello again from the slightly less sunny Finland! The weather has just changed completely, it's gone from sunny +25 to rainy, cloudy and miserable +15. It was so chilly today I didn't even fancy going swimming after sauna, the wind has really mixed up the water. Anyways, here's two pictures from my walk the other day. I've started being very paranoid about walking...

False God of Rome

Finland, part I

Sunday, July 14, 2013
Well hello there! Finally recovered from all the traveling on Friday so I have some energy left to write. :) I pretty much spent the entire Friday traveling, I got up at 5.30 in the morning and arrived to where my parents live around 9.30 in the evening. An hour by train, 2,5 hours by plane, 5 hours by bus and 30 minutes...
