B asked me to pick clothes for the daughters. Yes, I will do that from our new wardrobe... yeah, you understood correctly. B did not do the laundry yesterday. He had fallen asleep with the girls at 20 and then woke up at 22, took a shower and went back to bed. Argh! Is it only me that has obligations in this house? My conscience would never allow such a thing that going to sleep at 20 for then continue to sleep until morning. I did not bother to be mad - I will just let him do it tonight...

Yesterday evening I had a wonderful horse-ride around the small lake. We had 20 degrees, Imagine that! There were lots of people ridning that enjoyed the nice weather. The flies enjoyed it too - damn I hate it - they are everywhere.

I have written a week plan menue. I am proud. It contains lots of fish as I got plenty of it in my freezer. How about Monkfish, Sole ( I have got a Sole that is that big it will feed at least 6 people) and cod. Yummie! I promise to take a picture of my sole so you can see how big it is! Thursday today and as usual we will have yellow pea soup and pancakes :)

It's going down and it's going up... I told you and I knew it. While it is basically a weight for 2 weeks as I didn't check last Wednesday. This starts to be very anoying and I should be a shame of myself. I need to take myself into order and start to be more polite in my diet plan. Good Plan!

Yesterday evening was filled with obligations - why is it that men doesn't see any dirt though women see's it all the time? The apartment was in order when I came home I can not complain of that. IF you just glimpsed over it. While looking in the corners there hasn't been any vacuumcleaning neither taking any dust away at all. For not be talking about the toilet. I C L E A N E D the apartment yesterday. I also did the laundry. Phuk...

Tonight is my night and I will go horse back riding. I guess B has a lovely time taking care of the laundry... as it it a huge mountain with clean landry laying in the sofa.

I’m back. Obviously I am as I am writing again. Sweden was fantastic and I did not longing back to Iceland. The summer feeling I got in Ljubljana was nothing what I now got in Sweden. Summer vacations feeling increased and a cold Iceland and work obligations wasn’t on top of my list at the moment. Though back home again it is ok. It is always like that. Anyhow we do have summer feeling here in Iceland today with sunny weather and temperatures that is above 10 degrees. At least it feels great in the sun.

Red and white. This year summer colors are red and white. And I have definitely adopted its fashion. I have bought red shoes, white pirate pants and listen this: a red top with white dots. On top of all this I bought a red lip stick. So from now on I look like a strawberry with wipped cream. Feels great.

Been there – done that. Again. Headlines for today’s; how I managed to stop my jo-jo diet and got rid of 52 kg’s. It is Ricky Lake’s words. Feels like I am definitely a victim for this as I have – again – been living a little bit over the limit. I am not looking forward to Wednesday’s weight control. Today has been a good day. I will keep this good day everyday for ever. At least.

I am heading for Sweden tomorrow which means I will not be able to register any weight. Probably a relief for me as last mini break totally destroyed diet plan. I felt it this morning when I was trying to put on my clothes. This is actually very pathetic. I have been jumping up and down between 71-68 for ages now!! I need a drastic plan and I will do something about it - after my trip. Next week will be Nupo time again...

I need to have a new goal - not this kinda floating that I will reach 65 kg one day. I will use this trip to search for focus and to be able to concentrate of what I am doing. Collect some strengh. I also need an exersice plan though I am not sure what or where to start. Time is less and actually I need 5 more hours a day.

Can someone give me that?

I am heading for Sweden next Wednesday. To a funeral. One close family member past away recently, too quick, too early. It reminded me of how important it is to live by "carpe diem" or "fill your days with life, not your life with days" because you will never know when it ends. This was a bit too early as he could have had some more years while this is how life sometimes is...

Death can be a sensitive subject if it happens too early, by accident or sickness. Death can also be very beautiful - as we all know some it will come - that's for sure. I would like to tell you about my grandfather. He past away at 86 and I must say he had a beautiful death.

"He went to the hospital by taxi and said he needed a bed as he was going to die. The nurses refused him while with his strong will he managed to get his will through. He found a bed he liked and told nurses to keep it available for some more hours. He took a taxi back home, took a shower, shaved and put on his nicest suit - you know in the old days when men wore black suits with vests - and his black hat. Then he called dad - though he wasn't at home and mom answered. Grandpa told her not be afraid nor sad as his time on earth was completed and he was going to see grandma again. Mom refused his bladder and told him to stop being such a fool. He said goodbye and hang up. After his phone call he called for a taxi. To the hospital and layed down in the bed. 30 minutes later he was dead."

ps. I have updated my weight figures; -0,5 this week. Tomorrow I am heading to a summerhouse as I am having my birthday on Friday. Yibbi - I wonder what nice gifts I will get from B and my children :) I will never be too old for birthdays ;)

I just love the picture I found to my new banner. It feels like summer :)

It was a traumatic morning - yesterday little one was sick and this morning when I suddenly glimpsed into her ear I saw something very disgusting. Yuck, her ear was filled with thick pus and after trying to clean some of it I saw it was leaking more and more pus... I feared her eardrum was damaged. And right I was, after being to the doctor I had got some drops to put 3 times a day for speeding up the healing. It will take 6-8 weeks, my poor little darling.

We weren't home until noon and I had no idea what to cook for lunch. On these occasions it is good to be growing up in a chiefs family where food has been a great interest since I can remember. I opened the refrigerator and I could not resist to smile when I remember me and some friends playing "what's in your refrigerator" and we had to cook a dish from what was in there. You Swedes probably remember the TV-show for several years ago? Anyway, I found carrot, sweet potatoes, leak onion, fish balls, bulgur, red lentils and some single cream. I made a pot of fish balls, carrot, leak onion and the single cream. To that I served sweet potato, bulgur and the lentils. I also found some fresh herbs and for spices I used paprika powder, ginger, salt and white pepper... and I must say results was ok. Even my little one like it...

Summerplan has started to take place and I think we will manage to do most of all the things we want to do. Summer in Sweden is one of them though plan of when and how long is not set yet. Yesterday evening we had a travel meeting with our "horse friends" and actually there are 2 trips ahead this time. First out is the traditional "let the horses out" - in icelandic; sleppetouren - where we this year will do as we did 2 years ago - click here for pics - when we went from our stable in Heimsenda up to Borganes. Though last time we also went over the beaches - as we also did last year - click here. Our second trip later on this summer is plan to be to the "valley" and we will go over a great mountain in Borgafjördur. You bet I am looking forward to it.

I bet you all saw Eurovision song contest - and what to say? I am not surprise of final scores. And we have to admit this year the Swedish song was probably worst song we ever have sent to the contest. I know all Swedish papers has written opposite while I do not agree there. It was a horrible performance! Instead I am dissapointed the Icelandic song did not aprove - it was a great performance and a great singer.

Friday - mmmm... probably best day of week. This is kind a funny - why is Friday such a good day? I mean obviously you are still at work and still it is damn hard to wake up in the morning though lights makes it much easier than our darkest period between October and Februar. Amazingly I have already forgotten January's mornings when daylight don't arrives until 10:30. Imagine that. I gave it a thought this morning when I for a second woke up probably still night as basically it is light 24 hours now. Ok, not really 24 though 22 hours.

Anyway, why Friday? Saturday should be more correct to favorise as weekend has just began and you are not at work. It might be because of all demanding feelings you get on a Saturday morning. So many obligation hanging over your shoulders, you know all the things you didn't bother to do during the weekdays. Evidently you are still not bothering as you thoughts say you will do it on Monday. Monday is a good day for doing all the boring things you did not dare to do in the weekends as you thought you should enjoy your off from work. And Sunday - why not Sunday - when traditions since hundreds years back says resting day? Then day you shall relax and be with your family - and go to church. I admit one weakness there. I am never going to the church. If it's not 1st of Advent - then I am going to the church.

How on earth managed I to get this Friday's bladder into 1st of Advent when Summer finally is not that far away. Must be all the obligations feeling streaming round and round.

It's Friday - still best day in the week. Tomorrow I am going to do all the things I did not bother to do yesterday or the day before... Good Plan!

I bumped into Zara today. Imagine how unlucky I was when I bumped into a new tunika..;)

There is one thing with clothes you are storing - you know, just for this crucial moment you have been waiting your whole life for and at last after being fighting over weight forever and suddenly - yes! - can wear it again. And you fit into it just like you did before. Crucial moment and happy feelings are on top. However - crucial moment goes away - and happy feelings too - when realizing this cloth was very cool - 10 YEARS AGO! And - more to come - when one of your friends kindly asks you if you have been hiding that "crucial moment clothe" for a very long time? And further contiuing telling you she had something similar and it was a great fashion 7 years ago. Crucial moment gone and happy feeling definately falls apart. :(

That's the one and main reason I was shopping like a meniac during my stay in Lubljana. And lucky me - today Zara helped me even furhter.

I have never seen B so amused while walking in and out from the store asking me due to heavy que and - very warm - without any air conditioner into the store still found it a nice shopping day. And believe me it was. I have never bought so much at one time and I have never been "saving" so much as almost all were much more cheaper than at home. One dress I particularly like is the one I told you about yesterday - cool - designed by Madonna.

Friday and I have a very busy weekend in front - tomorrow I will be selling back on track's product on a horse show. Perhaps it will give me more money to spend on clothes - you never know. Well, I need new shoes. It's next on my shopping list.

Can someone give me 5 more hours pr. day? My life has accelerate completely and it's like I do not find time for lots of things I used to do. Like writing here. I know I should have yesterday while I was so up to in my BackOnTrack business and I wasn't finished until my eyes almost fall apart in front of the computer.

Anyway +2.0 kg. I know. Don't tell me - I am back on the 70th again :( While I must say to comprehent myself a little bit - Ljubjana was fantastic. Probably one of the greatest experience for many years. I will - when I get some extra time - put in some pictures of this enormosly beautiful town with its green tree, the canal and 27 degrees and sunshine. Can it be any better? Yes, it was cheap too! I bought lots of clothes both for me and my children. I bought a very cool dress designed by Madonna... Imagine that!
