10 / 24 The day is almost half way. Well, I've slept through some eight out of those ten first hours. Drinking my breakfast coffee with sliced apples. Lots of new snow outside. It's pretty, but we'll go to swim in some thermal swimming pools, no skiing fanatics in this family.
12,5 / 24 So far so good. The lunch was vegetable stew and one half of a hot dog sausage diced up small and added to the stew. Now out and swimming.
20 / 24 A fun day. Turkey salad for dinner.
22 / 24 Hurrah, I made it. A fun and happy day. Thinking of food or overeating did not ruin this day. I feel good. Remembered to drink lots of water, stayed physically active.
Tuna fish and cottage cheese on a bed of lettuce as a night snack. Lots of tea.
I'm almost ready for bed so I dare to say 24/24 GOOD

The Day One... or maybe the Day 0.75
The Day One - not the Day Eleven (1/11/2012)
The first of January did not work wonders. No magic there.
This is my new beginning, 2/24 hours have gone OK so far :-D
Now 3/24 hours. Two things right:
*Not eating in the middle of the night
*Drinking plenty of water
10/24 Almost halfway!! I'm drinking my morning coffee with some sliced apple. It's already 10 am. I'll only work in the afternoon today.
11/24 Painted my nails and ordered L'Oreal Perfect Slim cellulite cream on line. Trying to convince myself I am worth taking care of. One more mug of coffee.
15/ 24 hours. More than half of the day number one. Worked for a few hours, cleaned and organized at home a little bit. Trying to convince myself my home is worth taking care of. Ate absolutely fantastic vegetarian dish for lunch. It was some kind of stew that had Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, celery, chick peas and it was spiced with garlic and fresh ginger. Yummy, yummy, yummy. I had two bowls of it.
18/ 24 Only six hours left. Had one more bowl of vegetable soup and a few slices of orange. Drank lots of water. Prepared (but not eaten yet) buttermilk, quark and fruit. Mentally prepared to have some red wine, too. Kind of scared of that, though. Maybe I'll skip.
the last six hours :-( Not that good. I did drink that wine and yes, as I was afraid, the wine made me relaxed to eat some rye crackers, salty sausage, regular crackers and rice crackers. And the wine led to some beer as well.
18/24 Good
6/ 24 Not that good, not that totally horrible either
The weight: Last time dared to check 80,1 (-2,3 since August)

Day One
I can't wait any longer. It's back to too much drinking and too much eating. Forget the countdown, I'm going cold turkey, 15 days too early.
The day one starts now. It's not 1st of January, it' not even Monday. It's just NOW, the beginning.
EDITED 1/15/13 Only in my dreams. The actual day one was like a week after the 1.1.13...

Handweights and Snow
Twenty days and the magical new start, new life, new year will be here. The countdown is going well. I got those handweights and thare has been plenty of snowshovelling, too, to give my upper body busy. The crazy amount of snow has slowed down my running, though.
Honestly, the countdown could have gone wild. Knowing myself I'm actually quite surprised that instead of snow shovelling I haven't been shovelling food into myself. I could have very easily slipped into a mind set of letting lose before it's too late. I'm pleasantly surprised with myself.
The snow, the snow is wonderful. I don't mind getting my toes wet and cold. I love this real winter weather. When it melts, when the spring arrives, I'm going to like it too. And hopefully I'll like how I'll be then.

Trusting the Magic
I'm going to throw myself into believing in the magic of the Brand New Year. The year 2013 will be my special year. The year I will drop extra kilos and extra this and that behind!
Let the count down begin! 36 days. 36 days for buying a set hand weights and 36 days of taking my first steps in weight training. Walking and jogging are OK, but I have been told over and over weight and resistance training is essential for losing weight.
36 days of count down.

A Little Taste of Normality
A few days ago I got to taste "normality". It was really strange. And really, really lovely.
I had had a long and stressful day, on the way home I stopped at a deli and picked up a delicious bagel with good stuff. Later I ate the bagel and that was it. I didn't even think about food or much of anything else until a few hours later when I realised I was really really thirsty. And I drank three glasses of water and went to bed.
So what was so strangely normal about my day?! Two things. Firstly, I had the delicious bagel, enjoyed it and felt satisfied. Usually after a long and stressful day and stuff my face with everything possible. Secondly, I experienced thirst. It's very rare for me to feel thirsty. And to recognise it as thirst and not a food graving.
This is how I would love to live my life. Have this peaceful relationship to food and weight-issues. Let food serve as nutrition and not as a source of stress or destructive way of trying to cope with stress.

October Runs
I did it, the October calorie count for running is 7700. That meant 108 kilometers.
The battle in my head goes on. I still haven't thrown myself in this weight loss struggle. Each day I feel yuckier and yuckier about myself, the rock bottom has to be near. And then, then the only way is up!
