Yesterday was far from a happy day. I had to let go of two very dear pets. Rest in peace Zak and Enni. Old age hits all of us eventually. We had been preparing for Zak's departure for a good while now, he was diagnosed with kidney failure not so long ago and we knew that he'd get worse over time. In the...
I've been looking for a fitness related challenge for the past week or so. I just feel like I need the motivation boost from something like that to keep me going right now, as I've really struggled for a good while now. Most of the challenges I ran into are quite specific - for example the 30 day <insert muscle group here> challenges...
Apologies for the lack of posts this week, it's been a combination of being too busy with uni and wanting a small creative break from writing. Should have plenty of things to talk about in the coming six weeks, more about that later. I'm actually quite surprised about the weigh in. Obviously happy about the result but I just don't see how it...
Oh hello plateau. I was wondering when the first one would really hit me. When I did Weight Watchers everyone on the forums would just say that at least it's not a gain so I should be happy. While that statement is true, I'm not doing this to just sit at this number and be pleased about it. Need to figure out how...
I'm finally getting into the final design of our first project. I was really struggling with ideas for such a long time and the stuff I came up with was so boring, that I was ready to give up. Then it just kinda hit me when I was playing games one night (see, it's not a bad hobby!) - I want to make...
When I got home from work last night I had three parcels waiting for me in our office; my friend's birthday present (a slightly rude thing so I will not post about it :D), new remotes for our TVs (how exciting, right?) and my brand new Skullcandy headphones! They're gorgeous! ♥ I've had Skullcandy Lowriders before, but my trusty old ones finally gave...
I got odd looks from so many people today. I finally found a scarf from my wardrobe so I could keep my poor throat warm in the horrible winter weather, but apparently it made me look like a terrorist or something. Now that I think of it, it's just like Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Looks all mean and vicious but in reality couldn't...
My two month plan is in full swing already! I came up with a very quick plan last night and it is something that I should be able to stick to, no matter what my schedule is like during the week. Until the Christmas holidays I've divided my week into two rest days, two resistance training days and three walks. This way I...
I've seen these posts in several blogs lately, so I decided to give it a go and see if I can hit 50. :D 1. I grew up in a small town in eastern Finland, relatively close to the Russian border. I'm a farm girl as well, we used to have cows until I was maybe 10 or so. I had a love/hate...
I was going to post a separate weigh in rant but as I only lost 100g it would've just contained swear words and such. So yeah, thought that it's better to wait a bit and post other stuff in the same thing. :) At least I'm in even figures now - 12kg lost. I keep saying that I will get back on top...
