Day 237, Work, work, work - the Jalbum community is now live!
The new version of our site, Jalbum has now been released. It’s a great feeling to finally go live and to know that all the effort which has gone into the site has now made it available throughout the world.
There have been long and late evenings, and my eating habits have gone down the drain. I have really not looked after myself very well in the past weeks, and for the first time, I no longer weigh 30 kg less than when I started.
Without fail, the scales keep reading 98.5 kg! I shouldn’t be surprised, but the annoying thing is that it’s all in my head - I simply stopped caring.
I know the consequences of skipping lunch and eating too much in the evening. That’s precisely what I was doing when I turned into “Fat Johan”. Right, it’s time to pull myself together (oh, the feeling of deja vu). Right now, I’m eating a piece of fruit.
Exercise: I’ve worked out hard at the gym, twice last week and 3 times the week before. I’ve taken the time to do it, but the 12-hour days are taking their toll… :(
I’ve continued to walk to work, since the buses are so unreliable anyway. That means 40 minutes’ walking, 3 days a week. I also spent an hour playing floorball during the school holidays, when my son Max’s floorball training school was open. Evidently, only a few of us were aware of this. There was a great deal of running involved…. 
Result: 28.9 kg
98.5 kg (127.4 kg) Total weight
24.7 kg (42.0 kg) Fat
53.3 kg (44.0 kg) Water
40.4 kg (34.8 kg) Muscle

Day 223, Fat Johan…
Well, the weeks are rushing by fast. I’m missing my burgers, and am feeling fat since the scales are stubbornly remaining around 97 kg. Before the hamburger diet, it would have seemed impossible that my normal diet would make me “fatter” than the hamburgers did, but this seems to be the case. I’ll have to introduce some healthier breakfasts again. During my hamburger diet, I never grew tired of hamburgers, but I getting fed up with healthy whole-grain bread. Can’t understand what’s supposed to be so tasty about a whole-grain board which tastes like sawdust. I much prefer ordinary, everyday crispbread anyway. But I’ll have to put a stop to white-bread cheese sandwiches for breakfast.
Our lives are beginning to return to their everyday pattern again, after a sad and crazy start to the new year. On top of everything else, we have had SERIOUS problems with the nursery. When the Swedish Centre Right coalition decided to privatise the nursery schools, 3 out of 5 alternatives available to us in Långbro disappeared. Now there is a waiting list for every nursery, and suddenly the waiting times are of no significance whatsoever??? After a lot of hassle, I managed to secure a place for Tilda from 1 April…. At one of the only two remaining municipal nurseries. We’ve been on the waiting list since mid-July for a place from 1 March, and were first offered a place from the end of August. Absolutely outrageous! But at least we’ve solved the problem now.
Exercise: my exercise routine has suffered, since I’ve only been to the gym once this week. Some walks, but I just can’t find the motivation. 
I really will have to make an effort to take more exercise!
Result: 30.5 kg

Day 216, Sad 2008…
What is it about this year? We seem surrounded by violent and sudden death. Pia’s father, Janne, was 63 years old and died unexpectedly on the night between Friday and Saturday. Janne was a fantastic person with great drive and commitment, and he will live on in our hearts.
