A few more stones!

Today is measurement day. And I now lost a total of 4,8 kg. It is going so good that the weightwatchers software warns me of loosing weight this fast. "Quick weight loss may lead to health problems". Let's just say I am not all that worried. :)

Grand sla(m)!

State, County, City.... This will be interesting!

Norrbacka cat boarding house!

After being closed for the summer Norrbacka Cat Boarding House went back into business with the arrival of two long-term regulars, who seem to be enjoying their all inclusive stay.

Birthdaygift with excellent rating

One of my birthday gifts, the book "The master and margarita " keeps following me. First it was just a brilliant choice of book, then it was interesting reading. And then RTR Planeta started transmitting it as a TV-series (quite fun since I can follow the dialogue a bit better when I've read the book first), and this weekend DN published their top list of readers best books ever, where Bolgakovs Master and Margarita gets a second place, right ahead of Vilhelm Moberg, preceeded only by Fedor Dostojevskijs "Crime and punishment".

First results...!

Today was my first weight-check. Minus 2.6 kilos - not bad for a somewhat short first week that started with 77 points a day. :)

Aquarium cleaning task force

My fish tank is now inhabited by two new cleaners: the Pitbull Plecos. Pictures from my aquarium will come if they get less shy by time. They color after the surface, mine are now brown white lighter spots, after the english sand I have. The to (very young) fish are lively like puppets and have already (15 hours after planting them in the aquarium) eaten a conciderable amount of algea!  

Mad ideas in the Metro

The current majority in the Stockholm County Council (the Landstinget) has decided that there should be phone free zones in the underground. However, if you speak swedish, there's an undisputable tip at tjuvlyssnat.se. As long as you don't care to much about what people think, of course. Men så har det ju vart i fjollträsk läänge.

Friday night on points....

Yesterday was the first friday night for my pointsproject. Always difficult to find nice snacks before the TV, but I managed with a dinner consisting of broccoli mexicana, an egg and hardbread. Then I thought of Rispinos, but they turned out to be impossible to find in any stores. Maybe they don't make Rispinos anymore? Instead, soft tyrkisk peber, and 105 grams of white wine (yes, the scale is used for everything!) saved the TV-snack situation.

Friday coffe without!

Every friday we have a joint coffe break with the department. There is the typical swedish "fika" - coffee with some kind of sweet cookie. I managed to stand the temptation of the cookie, and (quite comforably) I didn't get any questions about this from my colleagues, as I had expected.

Lunch - Seven points

Although it sounds like the Eurovision song contest it's not a case of bad schlager. Au contraire, it's the energy count of my lunch. Large plus to Gooh and their tasty Tandori chicken and for the convenient label you get from the package where energy is noted. Which all restaurants would give you such detailed explanations to bring home, or even better: to read on the internet before you even choose the restaurant!

Never if ever...

Never has there been so many tasty things at the shelves of the stores in Birkahallen. Buns, pommes pinnes, fruit juice, baugettes, fresh bread.... As I walked to the store, I litteraly looked another way when I passed the candy shelf. Instead, from the store I brought wasa sport, cucumber, and alround spice. The combination of cucumber and allround spices as topping of my bread is an old classic in this context. The Wasa Sport is new. However, the Ww website, recommends hardbread as part of the basic pantry, and as a matter of fact, Wasa Sport is a lot of food for only 0,5 points... So I spent my last 4 points today on a lot of cucumber, three pcs of mentioned bread, and two slices of ripe 10% cheese, an apple and an orange. Actually, that wasn't even four points, and left me with 1,5 points spare at the end of the day. Now - after that first day which guaranteed my minus for this week, I am only 40 points behind!

More innermost thoughts...

... I am going to the store to get rid of some pet-bottles. Maybe I should do some shopping. Right now some cinnamon buns would be my highest dream.... Let's see where disciplin takes the hungry me....

An apple and a glass of water

An apple and a glass of water seems to be all I needed for now. Next step is to manage through the night... I wonder what I could have before I go to bed. Maybe some carrots... or a free choice of potatoes... or... tea and bread? Hum...humhum....

What's the point?

Puh! First day of my weightwatching I happened to be home ill, which was a really good thing. Less energyloss when lying in bed, and more time for cooking healthy food at home. Went really good: I circulated the day on only 17,5 points. Today is a lot worse: a though working day and, it is only a bit to seven in the evening, I have already used 25,5 points and there is only 4,5 left, and already I am starting to feel hungry after dinner. I am trying to remeber if there is any of my old tricks that could apply, but I only remeber apples and carrots.... Iack! Was it really this tuff the last time? I could really imagine going down to 7/11 for some crisps or a bag of peantut-rings! Or baugette at 7 knop, or a quesadilla at Kompott, or.... well, you get the idea, don't you?

I am voted!

Today I passed down my four votes into the ballot: Parliament, County council, City Council and Congestion Tax. Or maybe, considering the word on the last vote, I should be calling them environmental fees? But it doesn't feel right, using the vocabulary of miss Billström. :)

Back on weightwatch!

This weekend, especially when I saw the pics of myself hippopotamus:ing into the water I realised I am once again, as is the english expression, fat like a pig. So there is nothing to do, except for bringing out the weightwatchers CD again. Som revealing naked thruths: I now have a BMI if 29,5. My first registered day (without trying to limit my eating) wasn't a really typical one, rather it was excessive, but still not completely untypical for my life thease days. It has now ended and I entered it into the points plan. Today I consumed 75 points!!!! (Yes, that's gross - the allowed daily energy intake is 30 points, so I am staring -45 behind.) On the plus side - this ought to be real easy to correct. :)

Dirty campaigning?

If they knew about this for weeks, if they had time for forensics, and even for writing a long and detailed media-friendly report about the incident.... How come the press conference had to be called "suddenly" and by midnight(!) two weeks before the election?

Time for kräftskiva!

Stopping by in Heatcounty on my way to this years kräftskiva. Soon I'll get picked up, and we'll go to Bergvik to do some serious heatcounty shopping. Suppose it will involve beer and meet for the grill! If the weather keeps improving, maybe we will even be able to take a bath in the lake Sjö.
