Dear FutureMe,

I hope you’re healthy and fit! :) You were around 60 kg (132lbs) in January (Thanks to Christmas and Paris ;))… How much do you weigh now? Did you lose three kilos in those three months? You should be around 57kg (125lbs) now. It’s already April! Summer is getting closer and you...

haha! I just got the letter, that I had sent myself twice, because I had the wrong year at first. Too bad that I was back at 60 kg (132lbs) in January a year later and even worse, that I still am although I tell myself every day that I need to work on treating my body better. Is there hope?

Slow Carb Week #2

Well, my second week wasn't good. At all. I weighed-in at last week's weight. I'm not sure if I should be glad I didn't gain or disappointed that I didn't lose any weight.

What happened?

I did good on Sunday, until I was at work and ate a little pasta. But really I had mostly salad. Monday, though, I had a binge eating leftovers from Saturday. Namely the not-so-few leftovers of the tiramisu and a prezel. I just couldn't bear to throw them away and didn't know anybody to give them to. So on Monday and Tuesday I also worked and ate more carb-stuff... I didn't have any healthier choices there and no chance to warm anything up there, so taking anything would have just resulted in bringing it back. I didn't want to wait until coming home, either, because we always returned later than 2 am - I just wanted to go to bed. Wednesday was a good day, but Thursday as a second binge with leftovers; this time without any excuse. It was wrapped stuff. Friday I was good until I had some frozen yoghurt because of the great weather.

I didn't have a real Cheat Day on Saturday, but since I spend the whole day at workshops, I didn't cook for myself again... and really: hostel food sucks. So it was pasta and bread again.

Today was better. I was at work and didn't eat the pasta, because I knew I wouldn't be home late. Actually, looking back, I ate way to little today. I had a late breakfast (but still within an hour of waking) with four eggs and spinach and later two teaspoons of peanut butter. I don't feel like cooking now, though. So maybe, I'll have some more peanut butter or nuts later...

My next week NEEDS to be better!

Taking a little break during our morning run. The weather is beautiful. Spring is here!

Dieters Gone Wild Day #1

Today is my first Slow Carb Cheat Day and I'm so excited!

I will weigh-in every Saturday before Cheat Day, because I guess it will show my weight most accurately without the bloathing and water weight from Cheat Day. This means today was my first!

On Monday I weighed 134.5 lbs | 61 kg (which was 2 lbs | 1 kg more than just a few days before). I guess it was either due to my period or to eating really many carbs and also having more cheese and milk than usual. Anyway, this was the weight when I started - 5 days ago.

Today I weighed in at: 131.6 lbs | 59.7 kgWhich is a 2.9 lbs | 1.3 kg loss!

In regards to what I said about my starting weight earlier, I'm not sure if this is actual weight loss or debloating. The coming weeks will show if this rate of weight loss is maintainable.

A short review of the last week:

I'm glad I like the foods you're allowed on the Slow Carb diet. I still enjoy my meals and although the ingredients don't vary much I can cook different meals. Here's to all the different ways you can prepare eggs.

I get sweet cravings in the evening. On previous diets I would allow myself some fruit (on good days; bad days I would give in and have chocolate or something). Since fruits are not allowed on Slow Carb I'm drinking fruit flavored tea. I'm wondering if those cravings get less after you get used to not having that much sugar.

Surprisingly, coffee with cinnamon is not even that bad.

I made Tiramisu and bought Snickers for Cheat Day. These are the things I craved most. Also, I will eat pretzels and bananas for lunch or dinner. Other than that there isn't really much that I want to eat right now.

There were some little bumps in the road, but overall I feel like this diet isn't that hard to maintain.

When you drink tea to soothe your sweet cravings.

You know you are on a Slow Carb diet. You’re not even allowed to have fruit. *sniff Saturday I’ll have Snickers and bananas. And chocolate. I'm so looking forward to Cheat Day. And I’m just two days in.

Today is Day #1 of my Slow-Carb diet and this was my breakfast. I started with the only two allowed fruits. Haha. I actually plan on eating scrambled eggs with spinach for breakfast, but they didn’t have any frozen spinach back on Friday. I’m going to see if they have some today or go to another store. I’ll have to add another egg to get closer to the 30g of protein you’re supposed to eat for breakfast.

I'M BACK

Where have I been? Well, ever since I moved I had slacked off terribly. In the end of the last year I have been back to a whooping 135 lbs (61kg). This was critically close to my initial highest weight.

How could I have let myself go? I guess the main reason was a big change in my daily routine. I had started an internship and found myself eating crab all the time, because a grocery store and all the fast food restaurants around it were too tempting and the badly equipped office kitchen was kinda too disgusting to cook in. I know it's not an excuse but it was so tempting and I was too weak.

Why didn't I get back on track earlier? I had lost a bunch of motivation and was/am quite unhappy with my life. Things haven't been working out the way I wanted. In the past two months I've been going through a break up. My ex-boyfriend will move out this weekend and therefore Monday will be the day I will FINALLY get back in shape - even better shape than ever.

Side note: Hopefully I will make my ex's jaw drop when he comes back from his 3 month internship. :D

What am I doing to get back in shape? I will start with Tim Ferris' Slow-Carb-Diet. I have been of the opinion that carbs from grains (and very starchy foods) are unnecessary for a long time now, but had always had a hard time to eliminate them from my diet. I don't think it's the "forever lifestyle diet", but it's pretty close to what I would ideally eat like. So I hope it will help me to get started.

I've got my brother to start the diet with me. He went vegetarian a couple of years ago and eats mostly bread, noodles, a lot of candy and other carb heavy things that make you overweight. He's 187 lbs (86kg) and 5'9 (1,75m).

Since Spring is here I'm also motivated to go running more often again. I won't run with the purpose of losing weight, but because of the challenge and enjoyment I get from it.

Merry Christmas!

merry christmas :)

Going to work out in all black. For some reasion I look skinnier on this selfie than what I actually do. I gained so much weight since August. It's ridiculous. Might post a more honest picture later. Depending on my security.

The universe doesn't want me to work out.

Or if it was testing me, it won. 1:10 Universe

I wanted to do some yoga but minutes before I wanted to start (I had my mat on the floor already), the energy went down on the entire street. So did my laptop and now it won’t connect to the internet again. My boyfriend offered me his old one. But it is so painfully slow. I am not that patient.

I thought about going for a run tomorrow, but now I’ll work instead. I might go Saturday, but on the other hand I should really save my energy for the night shift. Let’s just count working in service as a workout and I’d be good.

My first attempt at making kale chips. Not bad, but improveable.

My boyfriend is cooking lunch! Let see if I’ll end up making sandwiches!

The result.
