Day 17

No pain no gain!

Yesterday was actually a good day! For those of you, who has been following me for a long time know that I basicly Hates to work out! I guess it has to do with my childhood, where I would always be the last picked at soccer, slowest runner (basicly I could only walk). I loved to dance, but as I grow I started to be way bigger than my dance partner and then it just wasn't as fun anymore.. I remember being picked to hockey back in primary school. The boys would pick me because they said I was so fat that I would cover the whole goal. Back then it was hurt full. I mean it still is when I am looking back, remembering how evil kids can be to each other. 

These bad memories is probably one of the reasons why I just always hated working out (and still do). I have that stupid feeling that when I step in to a gym, everyone is looking at me thinking shit look at that fat women. And I mean even if that was the case then who cares.. I care!!!!
I hate people not seeing me for who I am, but instead for someone fat. On the other hand when I see a fat person at the gym I always think HEY WAY TO GO BUDDY!! Isn't is awesome that this person is actually doing something to loss weight?!! HELL YES!!!

I have decided that no one is gonna stop me from working out! Yesterday I went for 5.5 km walk. It felt great to get out there.. But I must have twisted my ankle because it is hurting really badly today.. I am resting it until Friday where my next walk will be..

This is my work out plan:

Monday 5.5 km

Tuesday 5 km.

Wednesday 5.5 km

Thursday rest

Friday 5 km.

Saturday 10 km

Sunday rest.

Hopefully it will help my weight loss.

Breakfast:
Scramble eggs, panned chicken, mushrooms and onions. On the side a tomato, avocado salad.

Lunch: Panned chicken with a carrot. I was planning on eating the orange on the picture but it tasted rather bad.. So I gave it to the garbage-can instead. 

Dinner: Stew made of carrot, celery, meat and bouillon. On the side smashed vegetables of carrot and sweet potatoes, mixed with an egg yolk. Delicious. 

Day 16 of whole 30

Things are going really well. Not much more to say. I have made a plan for my work outs as well as some more weight loss goals but more about that in the next post.

Breakfast: Omelet with leftover vegetables (spinach, tomatoes, asparagus and onion) and some crab.

Lunch: Warm salad of mushrooms, asparagus and cashew nuts. Cold salad of celery and carrot. Served with Hot wings, chicken neck and chicken lever!

Dinner: Okay this isn't my plate :) The picture just looks better before cutting the chicken. IT is a chicken baked in the oven with a lot of vegetables ( Sweet potatoes, onion, red beets, carrot, garlic). The chicken is stuffed with parsley, lemon, carrot and celery.. YUM YUM... 

Day 15 of whole30. Weigh in!

Half way through the whole30. YEAH!!! :) 

It is also time for my first little school goal which was to be 112 kg by day 15. I went on the scale feeling good hoping for a good result and that was what the scale gave me. 111.5 kg OH yeah see that felt good I am under the goal by 0.5 kg! YES YES YES.. This mean I lost 1.6 kg during the last week which brings me to a total weight loss of 3.5 kg.

Felling good that is all I can say! Also I went for a 5.5 km walk today.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 carrot and 1 paleobread.

Lunch: 1 chicken thighs, 1 carrot some broccoli and a handful pistachio. 

The picture is apparently gone ?  

Dinner: White fish with a salad of spinach, fennel, asparagus, tomatoes and avocado.   

Day 14 of whole30 What is healthy food?!

Wow it has been 2 weeks already. It has actually been pretty easy, yes I still crave but I probably will do that for much longer. Somehow I think my brain always will crave for the "for bitten" food chooses.! 

My body is doing a lot better, I haven't had as much pain different places in my body as normally. Though I did have issues in my hips after I walked 10 km but I only take that as a sign of how bad a shape I am in right now. 

After I started my last class where the focus is on healthy lifestyle I have realized how different our conception of health is. If you look at the danish food advice, you will realized how unhealthy I am eating right now on Paleo.. I am apparently eating completely wrong, yet my body is feeling better, working better and I am losing weight.! I wont judge how other people eat but I do think we should be careful defining healthy food as it do depend on who we are!

Lets just look at milk. the danish food advice would tell you to make sure to drink enough milk.. YES drink milk to make sure you get your calcium. At the same time we see that a lot of people in Denmark has a lack of D-vitamins with means they wont be able to collect the calcium from the milk.. What is the point in drinking it then? :) I have never been drinking milk as I just don't like the taste, but that hasn't made me low on calcium because we also get the calcium from vegetables. I am not the one to judge whether milk is healthy or not but for me to offer our kids chocolate milk on a daily basis just isn't healthy then rather the kids not drinking milk.! 

Breakfast: Omelet with spinach, onions and crab. on the side some nuts. (To the quick ones then yes my omelet are in side out.. hahah.. I am not a fan of omelets that isn't 100 % cooked so I have started to turn the eggs before I add the stuffing..) It taste sooo good!!

Lunch: Leftover meat, some red beets, panned spinach, yellow pepper and cashews. Tasty!!

Dinner: chicken wrapped in bacon, peppers and onion all cooked in the oven. Broccoli boiled and a raw carrot salad. On the side a handful of pistachios. Delicious. 

Day 13 of whole 30

I have been with out internet for the past day. That might doesn't sound like a big issue for normal people but for me it is a huge deal! The internet is for me a very important part of my life, as I use it as the only communication with all of my loved ones from Denmark, I use it for all of my studies as I am an online student. This is the important stuff but also I use the internet for my daily entertainment!
Enough about that I am back!!
Day 13 was a good day I did my 10 km walk in 110 min! Yeah my first small goal accomplished! It was a really nice walk, hard as hell YES!! but I felt good and tired after the walk. It got really hard after the first 6 km and the speed did go down as well but I am okay with it. Next walk will be my 5 km on Monday.
Food wise was really good as well I ate what I was suppose to BUT I had cravings... Tons of cravings.. I thought those cravings was suppose to go away?

Breakfast:
I had 2 boiled eggs, a yellow pepper and a handful nuts. Sorry I forgot a picture, but I guess you guys have seen enough all ready.. haha.. Typical breakfast!

Post workout meal:
1 scramble egg with a handful nuts.

Lunch:
Panned liver with onions, smashed sweets potatoes and carrots and a boiled red beets. SOO GOOD! Again not the best picture.

Dinner:
Piece of meat. (In Spanish Matambre) with panned sweet potatoes and raw carrots. YUM YUM.

Day 12 of whole 30

Today was good! I woke up with a little cold but it seems to be gone again already. I haven't been resting really well lately, not sure why though. Any good ideas of how to get some good rest?

I got to walk a 5 km in 45 min today. I am really happy about that workout, as it was a lot faster then the 60 min I did it on Wednesday! :) I guess the tip I got from a study made actually help. She told me to use music to speed the walk up. Tomorrow is time for my 10 km hopefully it will go as good as today!

As a part of my school project I was reading a blog from a guy who goes to the same class as me. He was explaining how he didn't believe in diets, But it was about eating healthy and exercise. We could start a too debate what is healthy and not but that will be another post! He also wrote about not making life boring by being fanatic. I agree in a lot of his thoughts, but there is different perspective on a diet whether you need to loss 5 kg or 50 kg! For the people who need to loss a huge amount of weight can't do it with out being a bit fanatic in my opinion. If we allow our self to eat unhealthy at special occasions, then suddenly you end up eating unhealthy 5 times a month! That will run some of your weight loss and that is simple to hard on a person who needs to loss 50 kg or even more. To keep the motivation up a loss on the scale is so freaking important! And if we keep eating the sugar at special occasions, then we will keep being addicted and that suddenly takes the 5 times a month to 10 time... And then ups a month with old food habits went by together with a big gain..!
Also exercising isn't easy to do if you are 50 kg or even more overweight. I am following this an amazing guys blog http://700poundsisasbadasitsounds.blogspot.com.ar/. This guy has done amazing improvement! All the things he has accomplish the last year is totally amazing. He has shown how small steps makes takes you to improve a lot.. He is my biggest inspiration I think it is amazing how he went from not being able to walk at all and to now where he can walk 2 miles. That is impressing. I know many wont see 2 miles as being a lot. But for a person who couldn't walk for 1½ year ago and is now able to walk 2 miles hey that is amazing! He makes me believe that one day I will be able to run 5 km. Right now I can only run 100 meter at a time and top 300 meter in a 5 km walk.. So I am taking small step but I can see the improvement and I know one day I will be running. Thank Josh keep the good work!

Breakfast: 

Omelet with spinach, mushrooms and tomato. On the side a piece of paleo bread. One of the best breakfast for a long time! 

The paleo bred is made of: 100g almond, 100g walnuts, 100g sesam, 100g sunflower seeds, 100g pumpkin seeds, 40 gram chia, 6 eggs, 80 ml olive oil, 1 tsp salt. All mixed together and cooked in a muffin tray. 

Lunch: The picture looks disgusting I know! To bad as it was actually pretty good. It is vegetables cooked with chicken neck and chicken lever. On the side a piece of paleo bred (I shouldn't eat that much of it.. oh well) And also a handful pistachio.   

Dinner: We are hoping to eat a bit more fish and this was the start. White river tuna baked in a folio with leek, carrot, ginger, lime, salt and chili oil. On the side is cooked celery, carrot and spinach cooked with some curry. REALLY TASTY!  

Day 11 of the whole 30!

Where is my coke, sushi and cheese?? Right now I am craving so bad.. 19 days left and it seems HORRIBLE to finish!! That being said then I sure will finish the last days.
Today I had to get up at 3 am to attend my school class. I am not sure why but my body just doesn't seems to be working at all when I get up that early. After a good debate with a schoolmate I have decided to make some subsidiary goal.

First subsidiary goal is going to be to loss 600 grams in the first week of the school project. That means the scale has to show 112kg on Tuesday. It should be possible.
To reach the goal I will add in some more exercise. To make sure I reach this I have made myself a work out calender for this week.
- Friday walk 5 km. (50 min)
- Saturday walk 10 km.(115min)
- Monday walk 5 km.(50 min)
Food wise was okay today I did eat to much for dinner but it was to much of healthy stuff :)

Breakfast:
1 small chicken ball, scramble egg, yellow pepper, ½ avocado and some panned egg plant.

Lunch:

It didn't taste neither look good! But is is panned carrots and cabbage in some tomato pure, 1 chicken ball and 2 sunny eggs. Topped with a handful nuts.

Dinner:

After a bad lunch I was planning on a delicious dinner! Here a big steak with risotto (Made of one cauliflower, mushrooms, spinach and a little bit of fond) Topped with strawberry's.In Argentina it is high season! YUMMI.. Also I had 1½ piece of paleo bread! I know most people would say it isn't whole30 because it looks like normal bread. But as it only contain things that whole30 allows then I have decided to eat it in moderate portions. 

Any good recipe for breakfast? I am out of ideas!!
