Progress!

It's been about two months since i did the workout post, where i posted pictures of my body and gave you guys my measurements. Since then i have seen some changes in my body and so has some of my friends. I have been getting compliments about my look, like "You almost have abs there!" and "Your thighs are huge!". It's all in a good way and i'm really glad they have noticed. Some say it takes 3 weeks for yourself to see progress, but 3 months for others to notice, so just keep going!

So, here is my results after 2 months and i will put it side to side with my before pictures :)

                            Before:                                       After:

I feel like you can actually see it on my stomach and om my butt. I am really proud of myself!

Here are my measurements:
Arm: 26,5 cm
Chest: 86 cm
Under chest: 76,5 cm
Waist: 68,5 cm
Hip: 89 cm
Thigh: 55 cm
I am currently weighing 60,1 kg

So i have gained some centimeters and lost some and i am satisfied with that! I am so happy that i am making progress and this is without any diet change, which probably should happen if you want serious change in your looks, but i'm not up for changing my diet and it would just be too difficult for me. Everyone i know will tell you the same thing. With the stuff and the amount i eat, it just wouldn't work and i don't really care. I want to be able to eat anything i want to which includes sweets, chips, soda, cake - a lot of unhealthy stuff but i would say i have a well mixed diet with salads and healthy meals as well as sweet stuff.

My life and my piercing..?

Yet again i haven't been blogging.. A lot of things has been going on in my life, working on Lolland and having all of your social life back at home. It's been pretty difficult for me and at the same time a life lesson.
Even just thinking about all of the things i have experienced can bring me to tears, that's how overwhelming it has been..  The thing is, when you have a lot of people you care about at home and you are about 160 km away, it is hard not feeling like you miss a lot. And i would lie if i said that there hasn't been days where i didn't want to be here. It's been an emotional roller coaster and it is all done in about a week. Next Wednesday is the day where i pack up all of my stuff down here and head home for good.

Then you might ask, well what are you going to do at home? Get a job? Start applying for whatever i'd like to study?.. The answer is: I don't know. Simple as that. I'll probably start applying for a job, any job that i can get really. I'm not being picky right now, i just need some money.. Hopefully i will be able to get some more free time and be able to see all of my friends when ever i want. 

One thing i know for sure is going to happen when i get home is, that i will join a gym.  I need something to spend my time on, instead of just lying around, doing nothing while trying to get a job. I've already set somewhat of a goal. I want to get down to the weight i had a couple of years ago. It's not because i think i'm fat - i know that i am not. But over the last two years, I've gained 6 kilos. Some of it has been 'good weight' - the kind of weight that has given me some curves, but i would like to tighten everything up and drop around 4 kilos if i can. The thing is, i also want to build some muscles and then you can't really drop kilos, because muscles weighs more than fat. I know that i am not even above 60 kilos right now, but i want to get down to 55-54 kilos. Just because i loved how i looked when i weight that. I still love my body, but i would love it a little more, if it weight a little less. So when i'm done here, i'm gonna buy some small weights and maybe some protein powder to get my workout started. The weights is for workouts at home for the days i want to work out, but not go to the gym. I wanna try to go 2-3 times a week and it doesn't matter what time a day i'm going. I will follow up on this on the blog and update how my workout and goal is coming. 

Now for something else! I'm going to tell you guys about my piercing experience!
As some of you know, i got a tragus piercing after my math exam.
Right after getting my grade in school, Iben and i took a train to Copenhagen train station. We were a bit early, so we walked down to the shop called Gorlubb Piercing and stood outside it for a couple of minutes before continuing down the road to some shops where we looked at some shoes until 10 minutes before our appointment. Once again we stopped outside the shop, Iben had a cigarette while i put up my hair, and then we went in.

Right when you walk in, you come into this little store with a lot of show windows full of jewelry for piercings. We sat down across from the pay desk at a little table where i got some papers to fill about allergies, health and such stuff. After filling it out i had to pick the jewelry that should go in my ear, i picked a 1.6 mm bar in chrome steel (i think) and which ear to put the piercing in. After that, i met the piercer, Sakko, and we got shown into a small room where the piercing was going to happen. I sat down in the big chair in casually and then he told me where he thought my piercing would look the best. After that he talked me through how it was going to go down. We talked a little bit more before he counted to 3 while i tried to breathe as calmly as i could. We had arranged for him to count down, so i knew when the needle came. When he reached 3, he poke the needle in my ear and yes, it did hurt. Then he told me to keep breathing while he pushed the needle all the way through my ear. This was when i had a bit of difficulty breathing calmly. He did it and put in the jewelry and then started wiping off the blood and then we talked a little bit more. He told me how to take care of my piercing and i also got it in writing so i wouldn't forget. Then i payed and we went to get something to eat.

That is about 4 and a half months ago now. I am really happy that i got it done, i have no regrets!

This is how it looked when i got home: 

It has a little blood around it and i stuck our from my face to allow the ear to swallow if it needed to. 

Now it looks like this: 

It is in my left ear, just to be clear and now it has a silver jewelry with a clear stone in.

I am really satisfied with the piercing and really happy that i got it and i can only recommend Gorlubb piercings! 

My life right now..

I've just come to think a little..My life is actually pretty good right now. And now you are probably thinking "What's so good about it?" Well i'm going to tell you! Even if you didn't think that! ;)

For one thing, I've just ordered my dress for prom and i absolutely love it! I, like every other girl, had some pretty high standards for my dress. It had to be a pretty color that will look good on me, it could not be sent from another country than Denmark because of difficulty with the sizes and stuff and it also had to be a dress i could wear again and i found one.. Obviously, or else i wouldn't have ordered it.

Another thing is that i only have 38 real schooldays left before the exams and then i'm done. Totally done. I still don't know what to do afterwards but i think i will try to find a job and work for a year while i try to figure out what to study. 

This weekend is going to be pretty great. There should be a Fredagscafé but it got cancelled so now Iben and i are going to get some pizza and drink some wine together, maybe watch a movie, we haven't figured out the details yet. Saturday is my dads birthday and therefore i'm going to eat dinner with my family and after that i'm going to Pernille's 20th birthday party. Probably gonna get a bit tipsy!

Next Friday is a day i'm looking forward to too. It's the first time i'm going out to a bar in the city to drink and party and i actually find it kinda weird that i haven't been this excited about something like this before. The other times that i've been invited to a bar or something like that, i've never been excited about it and it always ends up with me not going. I don't know if it has been because of the other people who was invited, or i haven't had the money or i just didn't want to, but this time i am genuinely excited and i am looking forward to it! Also the Fredagscafé has been moved to this day so that is also a plus.

A third thing is that i have great friends. Not that i've just realized that, but i do. My friends are always there for me and even when we have our differences and get into a discussion it always works out again, one way or another. I really love and care for my friends and it is just great knowing, that they feel the same way too. Or at least some of them do.. But still! Family and friends is what is most important in my world. Which is also why i know that i'm gonna miss a hell of a lot of them when they all start their education or if they're going travelling and so on because even though we have those differences, it is what makes us who we are. 

It's late and i'm getting waaaaaay to poetic about this blog post so i'm going to bed now.. G'night!
