Just came home from a very refreshing walk. The progress looks very good right now, let’s see what the result will be at my next weigh-in on Monday. I’m aiming for one pound (0,5kg) loss a week, more than that I need to back off and slow down the process a little bit and take it easy. My past mistake was to pushing it every day trying to lose as much as I can in one week, but I got tired and it backfired. So for the rest of this week I’m going to take it easy and relax.

Finish for today

 

I did one minute for each exercise; arms, butt, chest, legs, and stomach.

Butt exercise :)

Yesterday I felt soreness around the stomach area, but I just remembered this morning that I did sit-ups yesterday. :) Today I went out walking for 15 minutes, medium and high intensity for a couple of minutes.

I’ve never been thinking about living in a house until I and my partner got the cat. We’ve now moved into a house and the cat likes it very much, a little playground for him and a place for us to grill. What a different well being energy is it to live in a house, more open air. The past 11 years I’ve probably moved,  on  average, about every other year, but this time it’s perfect. :)

Weekly weigh-in

 

I forgot to weigh myself yesterday, so I did it today instead. It looks like the weight is trying to stabilize around 145.5-147.7lbs (66-67kg).

Finally! I got my contact lens today, and then I need to go to a hair salon to get a new haircut.

It looks like I can’t wear color contact lens because they didn’t fit well. Or maybe they will fit better when I get them with prescription. Let’s see what the optician has to say.

I haven’t felt so good lately because it’s the “tom” week soon. But I managed to get some exercise today, one hour of walking. So I’m feeling much better now.
I’m off to bed. Have a good night or a good day :)

Hemp Spaghetti is made from hard wheat (Durum wheat semolina) and hemp flour, rich in omega 3 and omega 6. In the beginning I thought it tasted grainy/fibrous/nutty. It’s hard to describe exactly, but the more I eat it, I’m getting more “hooked” ^^

Ingredients
Hemp spaghetti
Marinated halloumi cheese
Marinated artichokes
Bell pepper
Fresh spinach
Fresh cilantro

Directions
1. Follow the direction on the package to cook hemp spaghetti
2. Cut vegetables and cheese in smaller size. Chopped cilantro. Mix everything with the hemp spaghetti. Finish!

I’ve shopped for some more decorating items and re-arranged the furniture. It felt so empty before but now it’s really cozy.

Since I started getting more active I’ve been feeling great, but my appetite is also increasing. Don’t worry, be happy. The extra weight will be gone when the body is ready and when it’s time. It’s best to start workout my biceps so I can lift some furniture and boxes. :)

M and I went out for lunch today and then we went shopping for some clothes, candle light holders, and a toy for our little sweet cat. The biggest joy was that we both could buy a smaller size pants. We have moved around a lot, and it’s time to move again, to a better place (same area). I feel that it’s time to create a home so we’re going to put effort in the decorating area.
