Day 162, Week 24 - Christmas is coming….
My neck has finally recovered and now I’ve run out of excuses - exercising will recommence this week. I’ve visited a naprapath who cracked and twisted me around, so now I’m as good as new. The house move is in full swing and I’m experiencing a REALLY annoying problem with my servers at work. I shouldn’t complain, but I feel so cold that I think something’s happened to my body! I normally feel really warm, but now my teeth are chattering most of the time. It may be because I’ve lost more than 30 kg of protective blubber.
Exercise: 4 x morning walks, 0 x weightlifting. Fourteen days without a single visit to the gym is really depressing. I spoke to Lise and we’ve agreed to meet up after Christmas, around January 7. Self-dicipline is something I’ll have to learn to exercise, however. 
Unfortunately, I’ve suffered from muscle ache since the visit to the naprapath.
Result: 31.9 kg
95.5 kg (127.4 kg) Total weight
23.5 kg (42.0 kg) Fat
53.4 kg (44.0 kg) Water
40.4 kg (34.8 kg) Muscle
97 cm (129 cm) around the waist
64 cm (80 cm) left thigh
65 cm (80 cm) right thigh
36 cm (40 cm) left arm
36 cm (43 cm) right arm
38.5 cm (43 cm) neck

Day 155, Week 22 - Max GI bread - yum…..
I have been careless with my diet and exercise this week AS WELL, first as a result of a cold and then due to a CRICKED NECK.:( Last weekend, I was also faced with the first Christmas buffet of the season and ate lots of lovely food. But I held back a bit, at least, and didn’t eat until I was breathless. For the first time, the measurements around the stomach and waist has increased! The scales are also pointing upwards, oh dear. But you can’t lose weight every week, although enough is enough.
At least I can console myself by eating my favourite food, hamburgers. I have just discovered how great the GI burger buns at Max are! I know that I should only be eating delifresh chicken/salad, since it’s even healthier than the GI (without cheese), so now I simply ask for a delifresh chicken or, alternatively, a Slimburger in a GI bun. 
Here is a funny and true story: a neighbour’s daughter arrived back in Sweden from Canada last week, and guess what she’d missed most? Max hamburgers! Hello! The whole of Canada is littered with hamburger joints, so surely there must be something out there that’s suitable? Well, Martin, at least you don’t have to pay a fortune for dinner.
The weather is just too depressing, and to top it all, I receive upbeat e-mails from my brother and his girlfriend in India! I hope the two of you have a great trip.
Exercise, 4 x morning walks, 1 x weight training. I have not been training for A WEEK now!:( Damn, my neck is completely gone…

Day 148, Week 22 - The moving day approaches, Ikea and packing…
Dear heavens, what a clear-out we’ve had before the pending move. It’s pointless to keep things we haven’t touched since we moved in together SEVEN years ago. So much thrown away and time for a trip to the tip. I visited Ikea last Friday, and there are few things I dislike more than Ikea… Howling kids and the place packed with people. But on Fridays, there is no-one at the store, so visits are far less traumatic.:) We found what we wanted and could go straight into the warehouse area when we were ready to collect what we had decided to buy.
We had coffee with Jan-Olof and Gittan during the week - they are the lovely house-owners who are moving to an apartment. We are extremely grateful for the things you are leaving behind for us to use!
Last weekend, we celebrated the first Sunday of Advent by baking ginger biscuits, and the saffron buns baked earlier in the week were fantastic. You probably think I’ve really fallen by the wayside this time, but you would be wrong. I’ve been eating healthily all week, despite having lunch on a few occasions during the week.
Exercise: training session with Lise last Monday (always tough) and a really hard session with Calle, a friend from work, which left me with aching muscles for the whole of the weekend. Only did 4 morning walks this week. The weather is truly depressing - just as well I’m not prone to suicidal thoughts.
Result: 33.6 kg
93.8 kg (127.4 kg) Total weight

65 cm (80 cm) right thigh
