Wonderful, the average number of steps has increased to 6509 steps per day. When I’m feeling tired I preferred to stay inside and rest but now I know I’m tired because of being inside. A little walk with fresh air is very refreshing. So now maybe I’m addicted to feeling good 
Last week.
The week before.
Oh no! Me, high blood pressure? That only happens to others! “It’s normal at my age” she said. I can comfort myself that I’m normal. ^ ^ No wonder I haven’t been feeling well now and then. Luckily, it’s nothing serious but it’s a sign that I really have to get rid of my abdominal fat.
From now on I’ll be taking pictures instead of weighing myself every week.
Current weight: 67.2 kg(148.2lbs). This is embarrassing but it might help me become more motivated. ^ ^
It’s really nice weather here in Sweden. I and M. went to the mall and bought better badminton rackets and balls. Playing badminton is so much fun! I don’t know why we haven’t tried this before. It’s good exercise too. ^^
We also started with chi-running. It is a technique that helps one to run right and avoid injuries. There’s another technique that call pose running. When you know how, it’s easier to run. So so much fun! ^^
When I need more moisture and nutrients to my skin, this simple facial mask works perfect as it is less sticky than other home remedies. I had no lemon at home but I used bottled lime juice instead. ^_^
1tsp olive oil
1tsp honey
½ tsp lemon juice
I went out for 2 brisk walks today, so now I am almost at 10 000 steps (6.6 km/4.1 miles). Later in the evening I tried the new shampoo which was nice. Then I got so tired after the shower that I fell asleep on the sofa.
Do you think I can have a bikini body by October when I’ll be going to Thailand? Well, right now I’m happy that I’m feeling great and have more energy. ^ ^
The new shampoo – Matrix sleek look.
I’ve changed my habits to more walking and less cookies. The result is -0.7 kg (-1.5 lbs) this week. My new weight is 66.6 kg (146.8 lbs). Yaaay! I like to eat food before bedtime, but this week I made a better choice, cooked corn on the cob and apple. Corn taste so good and apples keep me full enough.
A while ago I bought an advanced Silva pedometer with USB connection, and I use it to analyze my progress. It also measures distance and calories burned.
This week I’m already at about 17 000 steps which is much more than last week. My goal is to reach up to 10 000 steps per day. There are other fun pedometers and even for those who jog or run. Look for most common brands like Omron or Tanita that use 3D sensor technology for accurate step counting.
Today I went to the mall and tried on some clothes, but oh my gosh it was so frustrating! I don’t want to look like a big potato sack. Afterwards I went to the restaurant Gourmet blue to eat chevre pie with marinated artichokes, but I ended up eating only from the salad bar because chevre is apparently a goat cheese. Blah! But I didn’t mind because the restaurant had good salads and good hard flatbread. Later I went for a walk in the park and reached 8633 steps (5.7 km/3.5 miles).
The baby goat can have my goat cheese. ^^
I’ve gained 3 kg (6,6lbs) in the past month and my body doesn’t response very well. I’m trying to take better care of myself. Today I walked 7656 steps which is about 5km (3,1 miles). When I got home I made a smoothie/sorbet made of 125g (4.4 oz) frozen raspberries, 65ml (2.2 fl oz) coconut milk and 1 tsp honey. Refreshing good!
Weight loss is possible if I change my thinking about eating and exercise, and am in tune with my inner self. Yesterday I was tired to go out for a walk but once I was out I felt refreshed and had more energy when I returned home. I feel such a struggle every time before I do any exercise. So how can I change my thinking about the exercise? Make it a choice and not a must. Don’t do it because I must lose weight and want better health but make it a choice that focuses on immediate result. So I’ve two choices, either feeling tired or get out, start walking, and feeling refreshed.
I’ve to eat just before bedtime. I feel anxious if I don’t, as if I fear and worry about tomorrow. I keep telling myself that I can always eat plenty tomorrow but it doesn’t work. What seems to work quite well is, I can always eat later today. That seems to calm my nerve a bit. Tomorrow seems like a big gap, a long wait to eat for that reason, I think.
