Being busy...

I have been doing everything but preparing me to the trip. Well, I bought mouthpiece -does it count as strengthening my secondary strategy (Big White Scandinavian Warrior Elephant) in Rio’s Carnival?

I didn’t get Personal Trainer to live with me, but I got one nagging me. And for free! Well, there are no free meals, but at least until now my euros have been safe for traveling. 😁

And all those Dear Readers, who get to hear, that nagging doesn’t help and change things: keep on your good work! 💪🏻 Nagging definitely changed my diet dramatically. Well, it might led me also to some not so open and ethical communication situations, but I would still say we are both happier and I got some balance to my diet. 😉😆😍(You can see the difference from the pics. I rather eat healthy that listen any sermon about it. 😅) And the rest, what possible, maybe is still missing from my bikini fit for Rio’s Carnival, compared to my Host: I just need to accept that men have 5 percentage point lover fat percent. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m pretty sure my Dear Cousin referred to that when I showed her the pictures. ☝🏻

Late evening snack Before and After. (Yes, I still anyhow have late evening snack. I have some principles I'm not giving up just because some nagging. 💪🏻)

 So no worries, I can continue the Little Christmas season we are having here in Finland. (That means that every company, society, group of friends etc. who has any self respect will arrange a party and as a result that is pretty used excuse to party from mid November to Christmas Eve. 💃🏼🕺🏼🎅🏻

Kippis!

Getting there

Oh yes, I'm in process! 💪🏻

I have my flights! I fell in love to Australia in those long weekends I spent there during my last trip. The nature in Australia and New Zealand were calling me in so tempting way... But I had also another love on that trip, namely South America. Ok, I might play a little hard to get with my loved SA and as I took my flights to Mexico City and back, like I would travel this time only Middle America. But no, Rio's Carnival is on top of my list for this trip. 🎉💃🏼🕺🏼🎉

This naturally can be seen also in my TODO list. Get into bikini fit 👙☀️👌🏻 is there in bold, italic and underlined. You already know the story of candy strike and it seems budget maelstrom doesn't help either. So I have added Muan Thai again into my calendar. This getting into bikini fit could even cause some stress, but luckily I have a dear cousin of mine who saved me from all that unnecessary stress. I showed her few pictures and she comforted me "even if you would live the next two months with a personal trainer, you won't be on that fit by your trip".

Yes, you could think that your first priority would be being tiny in tiny bikinis when in Rio's Carneval. But there are always two slides in every story. ☝🏻 If it’s crowded and gets nasty, it’s not a bad thing to be Big White Scandinavian Warrior Elephant. Hmm... So I have a need to compensate each and every kilo I (so, so hopefully) will loose. 🤔 To think this all over, I have only winning cards on my hands: Either I will be in nice bikini fit or at least I will survive in a riot. And with that Myan Thai that I so love, I even might be in bikini fit and still survive a riot. 😃

Have I done anything else for this trip? Well, financials are pretty much like last time. I have had certain progress in getting my movables to euros, but on the other hand I have transferred some back to movables. I now have the absolutely necessary action camera -with all possible lenses and equipment. 😆
 

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time... No, no, no! This is absolutely a deja vu story.

I love the autumn colors and storms. I was so happy I reached Finland for late summer and autumn. And was so lucky that there were better days in this September that it usually are even in June-July. So kind of got some Finnish summer too.

 

But some things just never change... This autumn also, like the one before and maybe many more, it has been just impossible to get me into candy strike -or even diminish my chocolate abuse a bit. On my best my daily dose was only 100 g, but it immediately led to polysubstance dependence. Mainly with liquorice, but ice cream wasn’t an exception (with thick chocolate glazing 😆). It didn’t help to have Nutrition class in my studies, even though we filled in a diary about our daily nutrition. At least my abuse was open and honest and it was easy to give peer review to my diary.

But it was all already in the air -I bough a merino wool set of underwear. 😍 And even those new (although of course the same model as those 27 years old left to Nepali) hiking shoes were on -25% sale. 😱🤗 After that it was so easy for me to find the next step: Budget maelstrom and shopping ban. 😍 (If I’m lucky, budget maelstrom will lead me to candy strike and will help me to find the bikini body I’m searching (not working) for to Rio’s Carnival. 😜 ) And that’s how it all started again. Amazing how much food I have already squirrel away into freezer. 😅 So, now we are going strong emptying the freezer. 💪

 

I have taken few introductions to the nature with my brand new hiking shoes.

My old shoes had seen more than just the nature with me, but you know, you have to take it easy with the young ones.

What else… 🤔 Changing some movables to dinars? 💵👌 As it so easily runs out while traveling and after last trip cash desk is still a bit… well as dry as dust. 💸💸💸 And would I have the energy to empty and rent my home only for few months? 😬🙄

Well, flights I at least need to bye as soon as I agree (with myself) the continental. 😄

But hey, something has changed -my cover in social media is way better and all the stories are here in my new blog. 😁
