The first days

Since I started the diet on Monday I've discovered two things. Firstly, shakes tastes like crap, whoever invented them definitely did not go to culinary school, and secondly, when you're on a 500calorie a day diet, the first days are absolute hell.

Let me elaborate. 
When I started doing the shakes on Monday, I didn't exactly expect fireworks in my mouth, but I did expect something... manageable... These shakes, even though the taste itself isn't horrid, the aftertaste is atrocious, and so is the texture. I struggle with getting them down. I will admit though, that the soup tastes better, it's just waaaay to heavy on the basil, which creates this bitter scent that really makes you think twice before drinking it. All in all, the soup is manageable though. Oh yeah... the brand is called Allevo, when the boxes I have are empty, I'm definitely going to try another brand. It's actually so bad, that I just decided to refrain from eating at all instead, which isn't good, I should drink them to get some nutrients and to not collapse completely. After all, it's not like I strive to be an anorectic, I just want to fit my clothes.

About the being in hell on a 500calorie diet, it's the first few days that are supposed to be the worst, since your body is going into a ketogen metabolism. The insane hunger from eating too little has been mindblowing, so has the headache and feeling of lethargy. It's better today, on day 4, which does give me some hope that the future won't be so bad. so fingers cross that hell will soon perish.

Diet start.

Being in a relationship, the consensus is that you gain weight. Some people call it "happy weight" or "settle weight". In my case, this weight has been extreme. I've always had a big body, being Nordic, being big (tall, broad shouldered, muscular) is a natural part of my genetics. That being said, the point I'm at now, is far beyond genetics. Genetics is why I, even at top athletic level (medals from the national championship, in an Asian Martial-Art), weighed in at 101kg before contests. At that time, I was a EU size 44-46 and full of muscles (Finding clothes in a normal store was still a challenge). I trained on average 20 hours a week during this time, and ate normally. I was at this level from 16 to 19 yrs of age. Then I met my husband... Due to an unhappy youth period, I was keen to move out when I met my husband, so I did. I basicly moved in on our first date. It sounds strange, but that first date was so horrible, that it has become our greatest mem...

Kids and snow...

 One of the things i like about being a parent is watching and seeing the kids enjoy themselves and playing (eh.. don't get me started on the noise or the cleaning...). Living in Norway, we get a lot of weather, the kids couldn't care less. For the record: If someone mentions "snow day" up here, we will laugh for a week before we go outside, shovel our car out of 1 meter of fresh snow and drive of to kindergarten and work. When we arrive at work, we'll have a nice cup of coffee and laugh at all the people who are panicking across the globe, and just for fun we'll check the status at the local airport (open as usual). The kids loves snow, I mean who doesn't? Falling is soft, sleds are super fun, you have skis, you can throw snowballs, build caves and snowmen.. The only thing that isn't fun is the eternal shoveling, don't get me wrong, a little bit is fine, but this winter it got ridiculous. Every.damn.day. An online friend of mine found this ...

Just me, I guess

So, I guess this is me. A -seemingly- happy person. Don't let the smile fool you. Inside, I'm exhausted and feel like an old used mopp. It's not all bad though, I have two small children, full of energy and curiosity, which turns out to be rather expensive... What happens when you throw a candelabra at the TV? It breaks... What happens if you start spraying perfume everywhere? The scent sticks (I've had my car windows open for a week now). I do have a husband.. but in all honesty, he makes more of a mess than the kids do. Teaching is my chosen profession, I currently teach English (EFL) even though I'm technically still in university myself. I guess you can say gaming is a part of life too, WoW all the way ;) I'm not sure what do do with this blog, I think I made it mostly to have a place to talk to myself. I often feel like I have so much to say, but when the time comes to say it, it just kinda freezes up. So, what to expect? Anything really... or not...
