Just like I have been waiting for this. I am definately stock in my plan and I haven't got a clue of how to change it. Exercise more? Slim my diet? I know I am not exercising that I might should - as a matter of fact I am not exercising at all. I am in the stable every twice day and that does probably not make any difference. Today is a lovely weather - why don't I take a long walk during my lunch time? Obviously I have no time for this after work as then the girls are so tired and not up for anything else than waiting for dinner to be ready.

Today at 13 we will have parents interviews at my oldest play school. I think I will discuss her sleeping habits during the day. We shorted it to only 1 hour while when they are outside playing both before and after lunch she is so tired in the evenings she barly can eat her dinner. She was crying and crying all the time and fell asleep before 20. That is of course great there is no problem for her to go to bed while there are so few hours per day we are together it would be nice to have real quality time instead of tears and fights. These days I am longing for beeing more at home. It was nice to quit work at 14.

Also this weekend I went to the store that has become one of my favourites to buy fresh Cod and T-bone steak. Cod is definitely one of the best fishes I know which makes me smile a bit as I remember I refused the Cod we got in school...

Monday, Monday and I have been feeling a bit strange all day with lots of stomach ace with a balloon feeling. I hope I am not getting ill or so. I still haven't found my focus I guess I have put on some weight this week. I was longing for cookies while I managed to not eat any *proud* while I had some candy Saturdays and some cheese yesterday evening. Today I haven't been eating anything unhealthy so maybe I will reach some lost on Wednesday.

It occur to me Easter is coming up very soon! Wow, where did this winter go? I know weather still isn't much of a thing while the light definitely has arrived. Time is 20:30 and still bright outside. Very soon we will have light 24 hours a day - me like! What's definitely worries me is the Easter cleaning I have to do very soon. On Saturday we will decorate, make Easter cards and it would be pretty nice to have been cleaning all apartment until then. When will I find time?

Yesterday we went to see my stallion and it's time to bring him in for training very soon. He is very alike the mother and has become very pretty. At least what I think.

Grrr.... nothing at all this week :/ will I never reach goal or what?!? To mention anything positive I have lost 2 cm in my waist and actually I have started to use some of the clothes I could not wear before. On top of that I was longing for candy - I haven't been longing for candy since I was pregnant! Well, well - need to find focus again *focus* *focus*

Does anyone have a good trick how to get rid of these last kg a little bit faster - something that will speed up the process?

In my neighbourhood it has opened a new store selling fresh fish, meat and cheese. You bet I was one of the first exploring it. Except for strange categorizing of the meat I fell for temptation and bought rib eye steak that we barbequed later in the evening. Yes, I know its still winter and though it was raining and storming it went very well. Actually I manage to grill it perfect - you know when it is medium rare and just as juice as it can be. My brother told me once one trick - to wrap the meat in aluminium folio and let the meat rest for a couple minutes. Then the juice will go back into the meat and it will be much better than eating it directly from the grill.

Grill feasts in the weekend while weekdays is filled with cheap and simple cooking, though tasty. Last night I made fried fish with onion, carrots and potatoes and tonight we made this; Sausage with pepper and onion. I guess I ate a little bit too much - tomorrow weight will tell.

I have forgotten to tell - Fridays we met an architect who is going to draw the painting for the house we will start to build next fall. We have bought a small piece of land nearby and will build it from scratch. I guess my blog later on will contain its journey. It is very exiting, as I have never been building a house before. Well, I will not this time either while I will design all of it - of course with acceptance from B as we are in it together.

Friday. Thank God it's Friday. I have been longing for this weekend for some while now - a weekend I am going to do nothing. Like Edie Brickell sings, "there's nothing I love more than nothing, nothing makes me feel alright" At least it was how I remember it. Work is developing and I have started to lead meetings in Icelandic. Who could imagine I would perfectly held technical software sales meetings 6 years ago? I did not I can tell.

We are living in a small world. Especially here in Iceland - there are always connections whenever or whoever you meet or bump into. I realized it this morning and it made me smile. It makes sense of all the choices you are facing - it's all ready there - all connected.

Anyway, after work I went shopping with the girls. I will never do it again. Believe me, I felt like this:

I have heard it so many times before - your last 5 kg is a hell to loose. I am starting to understand meaning of that only -0,3 this week. It feels I have been circulating around this weight forever :/

Anyway Today I bought a new pair of riding pants as my other one is too big :) Felt good.

I must tell you about last night! It was raining cats and dogs and it was storming like I don't know what. My stable pal and I decided to refuse weather and go for a longer ride due to weather conditions. So we did. Horses thought we were nuts while I was well dressed in a fisherman's raincoat suite. My mare went completely nuts of the weather and was run without any control 3 times. It made my decision to buy a new rein. I guess I have spent some money today :)

Spring is in the air. Today felt really like April with snow coming followed by sunshine and clear sky. I have been working all weekend - due to a fact I have been working day and nights last 5 days - so I took 2 hours off work this after noon. I went horseback riding and it was great letting all thoughts away and to be focused and concentrated on the mare. There will be a competition 24th of March I am attending to participate in.

Except for wine - and the champagne - at the exhibition I have been following diet without any extra. Though we had lasagne and garlic bread both tonight and last night that I know contains a little bit of too much carbohydrate. Anyway I hope I will have some minus on Wednesday.

I glimpsed throw my calendar and it's only a few weeks left for Easter. May be this layout will give me these extra Easter feeling I was looking for when creating, who knows?

It felt ok to be on the right track again while I thought I should have lost more. Well, well... better to take it easy and slowly. If I wold compare my wealth being now from my start I must say I have lots of easier to be more active and I sleep much better. Pain in back and knees are gone and I seldom have head aces.

We are going to Slovenia in April. To be more specific we are heading for Ljubljana, the citizen town of Slovenia. I have never been there you bet I am looking forward to go there.

Reading about Ljubljana:

Legend has it that Ljubljana was founded by the Greek mythological hero Jason and his companions, the Argonauts, who had stolen the golden fleece from King Aetes and fled from him across the Black Sea and up the Danube, Sava and Ljubljanica rivers.

They stopped at a large lake in the marsh near the source of the Ljubljanica, where they disassembled their ship to be able to carry it to the Adriatic Sea, put it together again, and return to Greece. The lake where they made a stop was the dwelling place of a monster. Jason fought the monster, defeated it and killed it. The monster, now referred to as the Ljubljana Dragon, found its place atop the castle tower on the Ljubljana coat of arms.

It does sounds interesting, right?

Friday again and you bet I love it! Even though there are plenty of great things happening at work and I am greatly interested of it at the moment. Next weekend there will be an exhibition we will take part in and I have lots of things to do according to it. So much I have to work tomorrow. Work on a Saturday may be boring as hell while actually I find it very peaceful and is enjoying that a lot. Its like I get more out of the day and I am getting lots of energy by doing it.

After work I will take my oldest to the Theatre and we will see Peter and the Wolf. I am really looking forward.

Tonight I am cooking one of our Friday specialities - pancakes filled with minced meat. Of course I am making pancakes out of Dinkel and low fat meat. I will serve a fresh salad and a glass of red wine. Tomorrow one of my friends will join us for dinner and I have promised B and the girls to have pizza party. I haven't decided however it will be out of Dinkel or white flours. They have promised good weather on Sunday and I am thinking of taking B and the girls on a bbq-hike and grill hamburgers outside. We'll see what we do.

Have a nice weekend all of you!

ps. It occur to me that since I started I have lost 20 cm of my waist :)
