Come on September (SoA)

My guy got me hooked to watching the Sons of Anarchy last year.  I know a lot of people here in Sweden watch SoA, and it has become quite popular.  It's a really good series, and I have to say that this last season ended completely different from what I thought it was going to.  I don't want to say anything else about the show, as I don't want to be spoil the show for people who haven't seen it yet. 

Too bad the seasons are so short, now we have to wait until next September for the new season to start.   

Christmas Challenge Update 9!

STS this week >_<

Cranberry Christmas Challenge 2011
(2 weeks to go!)

lose 13lbs (5.2/13)

Twenty Third Weekly Weight Update!

I didn't have the greatest of foods last weekend with going to a birthday party etc, but the weight did go down everday after that.  I even made it to weigh in weight on Wednesday.  But then Thursday morning came and the scale went up again.  I ate low GL those days too, but it went up. 

Wasn't sure what to expect for weigh in, I was terrified I was going to have a gain this morning.  Luckly I didn't have a gain, but I also didn't have any loss :(  So this week's weigh in was a STS.  I'm not too thrilled but I'm not upset either.  I'd much rather take a STS than a gain anyday.

I've come to the conclusion that dieting through the holidays and winter time isn't the easiest task.  I need to be realistic and either don't eat a single winter/holiday food, or don't go out at all and be completely anti-social to avoid the parties etc.  Or I can simply say to myself be happy that you either lose a pound or two during the holidays or make it out alive with STS and no gain. 


Here's the 23rd weekly weight update:


STS (Stay the same weight)  

Total amount since started: -21 lbs (-9.55kg)

Food Log (8 December 2011)

Not feeling that hungry tonight, and wasn't really in the mood to cook dinner. Though I know I had to eat something so I wouldn't end up starving myself. Looked in the fridge and thought hmmm, fried eggs with soy sauce is always yummy. Tonight's dinner is breakfast. Can't really complain since it was yummy.

Breakfast: Oat porridge with raspberries, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, agave syrup and soy milk.

Snack: 1 piece of dark chocolate

Lunch: 2 slices of rye bread with a little bit of last night's leftover eggplant, ham and bacon tomato sauce.

Snack: 1 clementine and some Göteborgs kalvkorv.

Dinner: 2 fried eggs, a tomato, and a slice of rye bread.

Exercise: Pushups, crunches, and 30 minutes of yoga.

Multilingual....ummm, wait what was that word again!?!

I've lived away from Japan too long, I totally had a brainfart.  I was on the phone talking to a friend and  I couldn't remember the word dinner (yuuhan) in Japanese.  Simple everyday words that I know, but just sometimes I can't think of the word. 

This doesn't only happen with my Japanese, but I get brainfarts in English now too.  It's even more embarrassing when it happens in English, since I still use English on a daily basis.  Though the type of English I use here versus what I used back home is completely different.

I really have to watch myself from using a mix of Japanese, English and Swedish, since that seems to be what my brain thinks in these days.  I blame Sweden for my language brainfarts >_<   Any other multilingual people out there having the same problem???
