Yesterday, my fiance and I spent the day with his mom in the city. It was a really lovely warm summers day. She lives about 2 hours drive outside of Oslo and came to the city for the day. I am really lucky to have her as a step mom because she is really great. We get along well and she has been really kind to us by helping us out with the move to Norway. I actually introduced her to La Senza underwear and she absolutely fell in love with one of the black soft bras so much so that she went online and ordered 2 bras from the summer sale. She wished she knew about La Senza before but she was glad she found her perfect bra. I am a huge fan of their underwear and even though some of it is a bit expensive, the feel of the fabric is soooo great!

She needed to go to IKEA to get a curtain and we went with. There were thousands of people there and it was impossible to stop and have a look at anything. But, I really love going there as I have a real passion for interior design. I have also found some other beautiful home decor stores here so I cannot wait till we have enough money to buy our own home!

So, I was a little sneaky this morning and I stepped on the scale. The reason for doing this is because I didn’t eat the healthiest of foods yesterday. I had a small banana and orange juice in the morning. We ended up having a lunch at IKEA, I had a half a sandwich that had chicken and mayo (!) and then when we left IKEA i had a softserve ice cream without the cone (didn’t finish the whole thing) and then for dinner we were all tired and my fiance wanted pizza of which, I had 2 slices. Ok, now I know that it sounds bad but overall I think I did well because I had small portions of all the above foods. And I am really proud of that. But, of course today I am going to balance it out with fruit and veg.

So … what did the scale say ??? I weigh 77 kg! That is 1 kilo down. So I know that I have to maintain my eating to ensure that when I step on the scale on Sunday, I weigh 77 or less :) I know I shouldn’t celebrate it but I really don’t care because I am looking at it more as a motivation then anything else. When I see the numbers go down, the fire inside me just burns brighter for my goal. I cannot wait! :)

4.50 Just finished an hour at the gym. Ran and uphill walked for 30 min then did 30 min weights. Felt great afterwards! Now usually I screw up this great feeling by eating loads when I go home so I have a plan that I am going to try my best to stay out of the kitchen and keep drinking water. I will only eat when it is dinner time and thats that!
