Felt extremely tired this morning when I woke up. Actually I felt like I had way too many tequilla shots and my head hurt like hell. I suspect the reason I felt this way was because my body is adapting to the exercise regime and the food.

I am getting more and more anxious to get on the scale this Sunday. I am not sure if I am thinking about this too much but when I looked in the mirror, I felt happy. Mostly because my pants felt a little loose :)

4.20 - My fiance felt like making waffles for a pre dinner thing. He is crazy about waffles and could eat them every day if he could. Norwegians really love their waffles though. Sadly, my nose also loves them too. I can smell their sweet smell permeating through the apartment … The great news though is that I have to go get ready for a 5pm cycling class. So I will wonder no more about those sugar-laden waffles!

6.10 Showered and back from gym. It was a really great class, many more people than previous classes and I thought the instructor was great too. Her choice of music was stellar. Working out to great music is extremely important to me. I was tempted to go and do a 20 min run on the treadmill afterwards but then I thought that I would be overdoing it. I mean I want to be able to keep this up for a lifetime. Anyway, I have an early morning cycle class scheduled for tomorrow at 6am.

8.17 Sitting on the balcony on a beautiful light and airy Norwegian summers evening and listening to the wonderful sounds of Elvis. Have to say though that I haven’t really adapted to the daylight thing, I mean it stays light till something past 12ish. Which is late and then I end up sleeping late and waking up late. So tonight, I am going to bed at a decent hour. Probably around 10pm. I do have a reason though, I booked myself online to the cycle class tomorrow which starts at 6.30am. So I will have to wake up early.

Going to do some Norwegian lessons now before I head off to bed. Have to start speaking the language soon and stop looking like a fool. You should see my face each time they talk, I look like they’ve hit me with a Japanese rocket science question. I feel like an idiot not speaking the language yet and I don’t want to feel like this anymore so I will put the hours in to learning the language.

Good night!
