ROBBER - side effect of too much TV

Just now, when I was outside the dentist, I got really scared! There was a man outside who looked a little bit nervous when a car started behind him. He walked with one arm inside his jacket's inner pocket and just when I were going to walk past him, he pulled out his arm very quickly. I was convinced it was a gun or knife and got very scared. I didn't even want to look what it was, but it was probably just his phone... I hope!! Haha!! I'm watching too much TV! I just hope he isn't there when I'm going back out! Scary!

Questions & Answers

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

I've started to get some questions, sometimes in emails and sometimes as comments. I think it's great that you readers are asking questions and stuff. I will try to answer!

One of my readers asked:


I was just curious.... Is your boyfriend black?? I know alot of Brazilians (even the "white" ones) have alot of african ancestory and he looks to be mixed? No big deal just curious...?


My answer: My boyfriend, Jair, is probably what you mean by mixed ... His skin gets very white in the winter here in Sweden but in summer it gets a chocolate brown color! I have also been thinking of the same thing, whether he has african ancestory or not... Actually 80% of everyone from Salvador (also the "white" ones) has African origins and my boyfriend has typically african afro. I would think that he has African origin even though both his parents didn't come from Salvador, but beyond that we don't know so much about his ancestors...

Jair's nickname in Brazil is Ghost - or Fantasma in Portuguese. He got the nickname where he grew up because he had so white skin. In the last picture here below you can see why...!

Started to knit again :P

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

I decided to begin to knit again. I think it's a fun plus it is good to have something to do when you're sitting in front of tv. I have the bad habit that I always want to eat something when I watch movies or television. So I have some tricks to get rid of my bad habit. A while ago I ate salted sunflower seeds where the shellwas one so I had to peel each seed and that took forever to do but my need to eat something was still satisfied. Unfortunately, I'm tired of them now so I was thinking about going back to knitting again.



The good thing about knitting is that then you have no time to eat something! Today, I have managed to produce this little piece in this picture ... But that's just a sample to see how the mask density is when I'm knitting + a bit of practice because it was so long time ago.

Lovely color of yarn I have chosen, don't you think?! I'm going to knit baby stuff it's fun because it goes faster! Or faster anyway ... I'm not pregnant or anything, I just think it's more fun :)

I will continue tomorrow! Good night!

All those New Year's resolutions, when will you give up!?!?!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Finally home after a spinning and a core class at the gym! Sitting here thinking of wonderful summer time. This picture is of me and Jair in Italy last summer.



I'm lucky that booked the spinning and core class for today last Monday! Obviously, every girl in Gothenburg has made a New Year's resolution about working out more in the gym, so now it's hard to fit into the classes!! When will you give up? No offense, but I think it's pretty nice to fit on my favorite classes even if I don't book the classes 8 days in advance! Now I have to book the boring classes to avoid being placed at number 50 on the reserve list on a class with 50 participants or go to the gym 20 minutes before to get one Dropin ticket (it will be the later alternative for the rest of the week). Guess I'll have to wear it out. My experience says that the most people give up their New Year's resolutions after 2 max 3 months :D hehe!

My favourite combination with kesella is with apple and cinnamon!! Much tastier then with blueberry and raspberry!!! Yummy, I'm already waiting for the afternoon snack!

Yummy cottage cheese pancakes!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Cottage cheese pancakes!! I have eaten them at breakfast and as a afternoon snack the last week! At work, I eat them either with apple pieces fried in cinnamon or I mix onions and mustard into the cottage cheese before frying them and then I eat them together with magnifico-salami (which seems to be the only ham / salami, which is sugarfree). At home, I eat them sometimes with blueberries, raspberries and whipped vanilla cream! Yummy!

Here's my recipe (4 portions):

2 eggs
1 small box of cottage cheese
1 tablespoon fiberhusk (flor made of psyllium) you can put half coup of cheese instead if you don't have fiberhusk.



The picture is taken from Gröna Nyanser
Mix the batter to make it smooth before frying. Fry them for quite some time on the first page before you can turn them around.

Can add that pancakes don't taste like cottage cheese at all! So if you don't like cottage cheese, you have to try!

This week's result!!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

The result after my first week with LCHF! Things have gone well, not much craving for sweets... just a little bit today ... But I've also made two exceptions, so it may be because of that. On Tuesday we went to the movies and then I ate popcorn and Thursday I ate a half sandwich at work (bought especially for me). But I got results which is the point. I have lost 1.7 kg! Can you believe it! Just by changing the diet without exercising! In the picture below you can see my weight curve since last October! Last Sunday, I weighed 67.5 kg. But I'll start exercising again!!

Grandparents on visit!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

My grandma and grandpa were here visiting today. Jair made Brazilian coconut milk soup with tiger prawns, Moqueca the camarão, which was LCHF friendly. I also received some nice gifts from my grandparents which was my grandma's handcraft!




Here is one of the beautiful things I got! It's a wonderful motive for a pillow I think, artistic! It's like three pictures in one!

Too bad - I should have taken a picture of the food and my grandparents ... Hmm, an other time!
