The second challenge
Trying so hard to not fall for the temptations of unhealthy stuff is really difficult.
I promise I won’t only write about the weightloss journey but I will share updates, progress etc. So I can go back to my blog and read if I lose the motivations one day
Grocery shopping,
the second challenge
I went grocery shopping today. I was missing a few ingredients for today’s dinner (changed plans), and while being at the store, I struggled so much. They had freshly baked cinnamon buns, and those are also my weakness. I took a picture and sent it to my friend and wrote, “I am tempted.” She said, “Nope!” so I answered her, “I walked away,” and I am proud of myself! I did NOT buy any! It’s not often I buy them, but today it was awful how they triggered me, but I managed to resist the temptations! Plus points to me!
Grocery list;
- 2 bags of onions
- 2 bags of carrots
- 1 parsnips
- 1 2kg bag of potatoes
- Some bananas
- One healthy yogurt natural
- Lemon mayonnaise (the only unhealthy thing)
- 1 bag of frozen vegetables
- 1 package of button mushrooms
- Pepsi Max (I will continue being strict with myself)
I changed my mind on today’s dinner and I am actually (be shocked! because I am!) craving fish! That has never happened before.
Today’s dinner
(the changed plan)
Fried raw potatoes (I will use measuring cup when making) ● fish ● vegetables ● button mushrooms ● onions ● boiled carrots ● maybe a bit of the parsnip as well
Yes I know i eat button mushrooms a lot but hey, atleast they are healthy!
I have also started to eat carrots as night snacks before bed; that’s why I bought more carrots. I have honestly made a 180 on my lifestyle when it comes to food. Maybe I should say… 300°, not fully 360° yet.

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.

Beautiful sunny day with laughter, madness and workouts
Today I had a debate with myself if I would go to the gym or not. I was supposed to go yesterday but I didn’t so I broke my strike in days but it’s fine. Today I felt low on energy so I just wanted to lay in bed and sleep but I dragged myself to the gym which resulted 65 minutes on the treadmill and a painful hip. I wanted to push myself more but I had to stop so I don’t make the pain worse or something else .
after gym I took my beloved energy drink (I just started to drink these the other day. I wanted to try one and boom.. I’m hooked) and took a slow walk next to the sea in the beautiful sunshine. I was gonna meet up my best friend but her bus didn’t come until 20 minutes after so I enjoyed a bit in the sun and later met her.
We went to the grocery store and bought more of my celsius drinks plus other stuff as well. I know I know, energy drinks aren’t good for you to drink so much off and im not drinking more than two (pre-workout and after workout) per day but thank you 🥰
after that we walked around a bit and after we decided to go grab some dinner. I was not in the mood for pizza (I had pizza yesterday) but for chicken salad ..with pineapples! so good! I love pineapples on pizza and in salad. Unfortunately I had to throw away a lot of chicken because I got that feeling.. uhm.. where it “grows in the mouth” you know. I don’t know how to explain in an other way. Anyway, we sat at the pizza place for two hours or so and just talked, laughed, joked and had a wonderful time – just what I needed.
We always order a plate of fries (because we like it) but we always end up throwing away 3/4 of it 😅 thankfully I know what the pizzaplace do with the left over food that’s everyday and it goes to animals (pigs and chickens) so that’s good ☺️
My plans is to go to the gym tomorrow again but it all depend on my hip. On Monday I start school again – yay finally back with one routine in my life (again) and hopefully get the schedule so I can plan my workouts (while son is in school and me after school or when I have day off from school).
What have you done today? Any plans?
