› Shocked, but super happy
I am in shock. Five days and it already shows?
Hello my beautiful boo’s 🩷 I hope you all are doing fantastic today! I hope you all had or have depending where in the world you are at right now, a wonderful Saturday/(/or sunday).
Why am I shocked, and what am I planning?
Well, on October 26th (Sunday) I started with the 16:8 diet but changed it to 17:7 due to school. Unfortunately my blood sugar didn’t respond so well to that diet, so I had to stop with it, but I have kept a bit from it.
Slowly showing and it keeps me motivated to keep going. Slowly but steady. I’m not gonna become a maniac as I was back in 2022 and walked daily for 3 months and lost 40kg.
Lately I had started to eat “breakfast” and cut back a lot on Pepsi Max. As you all know, I am heavily addicted to Pepsi Max and normally drink 4-6 L per day! I know, insane! But lately I have been struggling with cutting back while at the same time struggling to drink more water. I have gone from 4-6 L per day to at max 1.5 L, but the past couple of days I have only been drinking max 1 L. Tonight (and other nights) I had 0.5 L of Pepsi, and I am so proud of myself. I have been drinking tons and liters of water. According to an app I use to keep track, I have drunk 3 L of water today—now that’s insane! So in total I’ve been drinking 3.5 L today, and oh god, I am beyond proud.
I have also stopped eating popcorn (which was a heavy trigger for me) and started to eat more carrots instead for night snacks! Never happened before, and I actually don’t feel hungry after two hours or so, so that is a win-win!
From my weight last Monday (10th of November) until today (15th of November), the scale shows -3 kg! THAT IS SHOCKING! Like what!? I can’t believe it but it makes me motivated to keep going! So I’ve actually started to plan on workouts for me to do! Crazy! No, it’s not boxing; it’s actually water aerobics.
I have looked into prices and locations and times and when I can go for regular swimming, and I am going to purchase a 10-times card in the beginning and try it out.
I won’t get electrocuted?
I have also ordered (I can’t without music) a waterproof MP3 player that I can attach to my bra while swimming, and luckily, a pair of headphones was included, so let’s go!
Hopefully they work. According to the description and website (all about water sports, swimming etc), it says it is. You can even dive 3 m with them. So I think they will work? If not? Oh well. Let’s just hope i wont be electrocuted in the water!
- Ordered a waterproof mp3 player
- Looked up prices, times, etc. for water aerobics and when to do regular swimming.
- Looking around for a bathing suit, but I don’t know.
Today’s dinner
½ dl rice ● 1 chicken breast in oven ● 100 gram of fried button mushrooms ● ½ dl of fried onions ● 3 dl of veggie mix and 1 tbs of currysauce for flavor
Have a wonderful day!

› Recaps of the good and bad moments of this month
Goodbye August. Thank you for this time. It’s been a chaotic month.
Now when the summer is officially over (here in Sweden it is) and first day off fall (for me) is tomorrow (sep 1rst) it’s time to say thank you for this month and share some recaps of August 2024. This year’s August has been good but also bad. How have your August been?
Good; I started in school again ● my son started school again after summer break ● I have begun to go to the gym often this month ● I have been trying to eat better (which I have. especially when my husband and son eats pizza or I’m with my friend. I always pick salad) ● I made this blog ● I work on getting my photographer brain back ● my husband surprised me with a birthday gift (few days late) ~ I will show it later.
Bad; My mental health is still bad but a lot better than it was in the beginning of the year ● I had to say goodbye to my beloved little girl Toulula ● My birthday (I dislike my birthday since I was a kid ~ Family reasons)
So now when September is here (already tomorrow) I hope the month will be much better for me. one thing I know already is that in September, my husband and I celebrate 8 years together ~ now that’s insane. Neither one of us didn’t think we would last but here we are. lol.
(more has happened in August but I can not remember it all right now)
What was your yay and nay with August month?

› September goals | Blog, Life and weightloss ● nervous but excited
September is coming up and it goes fast! Wow. Can’t believe that it’s soon September and only 3 months left of 2024. That’s crazy!
I was thinking of making a small list every month (motivation/goals) list. You can join me as well 🥰 Let me know if you join this idea!
September 2024 goals ●●● BLOG RELATED; Grow so I reach 10 followers ● Blog at least once per day ~ if time, Blog two posts or more ● Share more photographs I take ●●● LIFE RELATED; Weightloss = gym at least twice per week. If time, try three ● -2kg (explaining this below) ●●●
sounds like a small little list that I hopefully can achieve 🥰 Looking forward to see the list at the end of September 🥰 Maybe you wanna join and make your own list of goals per month? Fun!
-2kg part; long story short. I was hysterical of losing weight two years ago when I lost so much in weight on 3 months. My brain didn’t follow the speed as my body shrunk and that wasn’t good. I was a maniac, I barely ate just to lose weight etc. Before my goals were 50kg on 5 months for an example. So now I’m trying to calm my head and take it slow.

› Work hard and you will see amazing results
the quote on my headline is one motivational quote I use to think off when my mentally health is low. Check out this post for 6 inspirational and motivational quotes I think you will like
look at the cloud on the right picture. It looks like a crocodile but my friend say it looks like a hippo 👀 For the third day in a row I actually went to the gym. That is insane. Never ever did I ever think of going to the gym three days in a row. I could do maybe twice a week last year but now I’m going a lot while E is in school and my school haven’t started.
I’m actually very surprised and out of words how I have managed with my bad mental health managed to get myself at the gym. That’s crazy! I just checked my workout app and I had 7 visits for the whole 2023 before my husband paused my membership and only this month I have been to the gym 10 times. Now that’s massive step for me.
Hopefully this will continue (maybe not this often like 3 days in a row) and I can see results. I hope and pray that this time my body will slim down in same speed as my brain. two years ago I lost 40kg on 3 months because I walked and walked and walked and walked. I was a maniac on walks. but my head didn’t follow the progress so I gained a lot when my mental health began.
Today’s workout is simple ☆☆☆ walk to the gym & to bus; 30 minutes ● Treadmill; 60 minutes (pace; 4. I lowered because of my knee and to see if the headache will be more mild after the workout – googled it last night)
after the work out on treadmill today I decided to go home (after having my friend J telling me off because I had a headache) to rest. I wanted to stay longer but I must listen to my body.
But why do I always get a massive headache / migraine every time I have been working out? it’s kinda annoying but hopefully it will calm down soo . I googled yesterday but that was a mistake.
no im not bragging or anything. I’m just sharing my one step forward in life.
