Success!

Last saturday I finally did it. I reached my goal weight! I now weight 50kg (or a bit under/over, depends) and I feel sooooooo proud. :) Now I guess my new challenge will be maintaining that weight, but with healthy eating habits I've learned I think it will be a piece of cake (get it, cake, ahaha). Anyway, since I finally achieved something big, I think I will show you my starting point and also how I am today. Prepare to be shocked!

So... the first one is taken... early winter 2008 I suppose? Or around that time. With Wolf of course. <3 I think I'm around 70kg in this picture, or at least close. I can't be sure, I didn't own a scale back then. The second one is me today, about half an hour ago. :D And about 20kg lighter. :) Right now, in this moment, I am more than happy with myself. I still love food, but I've learned to appreciate simple, healthy foods, not just sweets and greasy snacks. I feel happier with myself and I would be lying if I said I only did it for my health... I did it purely because I wanted to look better.  I'm not saying being skinny makes you beautiful or that you have to be thin to be pretty. But that's just how I feel about my body. I'm quite short and muscular type and I think I seriously look better with a waist. :D Ironically, I myself adore guys that are a bit chubby (or fluffy as Gabriel Iglesias would say ;D) and I simply love manboobs. <3 So remember kids, each to their own. <3


Anyway, I also want to try adding some Youtube videos here. Some fluffiness for you to admire... <3

Changeling

Long tome no see you all! I haven't been blogging for a while, since there has been absolutely nothing very interesting to tell. Diet is doing all right, I have around 0,5kg left. :3 And about that... I think that this last pound is going to be pretty hard for me to drop, since I just decided to stop using aspartame. I just read this and discovered that I have almost all first symptoms of aspartame poisoning. My hands and feed get cold and numb easily, I feel tired and dizzy, I have swelling and moodiness and sometimes my I also have problems with my sight. Of course, this could be just dieting, but I'm going to stop or at least reduce considerably my use of aspartame (good bye Coca Cola Light, I will miss you) and see if it will improve my health. Wish me luck with this, I will be needing it...

And then another thing. My birthday is coming up soon and originally I was thinking of having my nipple pierced. Well, guess what? I'm not going to do that either. Not after reading this. My boobs are pretty heavy and tender anyway and they get irritated pretty easily, so I consider myself a pretty high risk for such condition... too bad, I would have loved to have some nice jewelery in there... How about you my readers? Have you had a nipple piercing or have you ever had complications because of piercings?

Ps. The worst thing is that my plan B for my birthday was to buy a certain corset... but apparently my size sold out recently. So at the moment it seems that I'm not going to get anything for my birthday (since we don't have much money and there isn't really anything else I need so... pointless to get something thats merely "okay"... I guess I'll just save that little amount of money for later... there's probably some medical bills or something coming up anyway. Yeah, I'm practically little miss sunshine aren't I? :D

Drop dead gorgeous

Well, drop dead at least. I have been sick like a week now and I still am. Couch, runny nose, fever, the works. So I haven't been able to work out (and I don't wan't to weigh myself either because of that...). Damn it, I want to get better soon and start my work outs again!! Well, at least my tattoo healed completely like in a week... and it looks gorgeous. <3

Also, did I mention we went to Marjo Väisänen's pin up photography display opening party? Couple of bands and most importantly, burlesque! I loved the show, didn't take any photos, though. Luckily couple of friends did. :) This was the third time for me to see live burlesque and I'm so hooked. :) I would like to try that myself some day. <3

Despite of being ill, I have managed to do some shopping! I bought two Lip Service posters from huuto.net (1,50e each if I remember correctly) and I also bought one from my friend (1,50e, too). So here goes!

I simply love those posters! I would like to buy frames for them, when I get some money. Right now we are little bit poor, because of the following purchase...

Ta-dah! Finally a proper camera! Olympus E520 with 14-42mm lens. I bought this from huuto.net and it cost me 180e with postage. Not bad, this camera is only 1 year old. :3 <3

That's it for today, I hope I can offer you more interesting updates when I get better. See ya. <3

Bat bites.

I've had a really fun day today! I went to recolor my tattoo today and I thought that I could share a picture of it with you. I took the tattoo the ninth of December last year and it was actually a Christmas present from Wolf. <3 The ink didn't take very well in the first session so today I had the second one and this time it took really nicely, both me and my tattooer Kaitsu from Red & White Ink were satisfied. :) So here it comes, two little bats over my heart as you can see. <3

I also baked bread today with this recipe because we are having a friend over for the weekend. It turned out okay, tastes like home made bread rolls. :D Here's a picture of the bread too.

Oh, and my diet is still doing okay. I weighted myself this morning and I had lost 1,5kg. So I'm halfway through! But now I'm taking a two week break and eating properly so my tattoo will heal nicely. :3 I hope I don't gain weight though, I'm going to snack a bit this weekend with Wolf and our friend. I think I'll even bake a small apple pie for the guys tomorrow, a little treat with coffee. ;3 But I'll try to be sensible with this. :D That's it for today, now I'll go get my back massaged by my beloved Wolf... ;3

Spin me!

I did something really different today. A nearby dance school had open house, so I went to try pole dancing for a couple of hours. :) And I fell in love. <3 Well, it wasn't that surprising. As a child I used to climb everything. Trees, architraves, flagpoles... Too bad there was no pole dancing in Finland when I was a child. Well, better late than never I guess. :) I must start saving money for more lessons and of course for my own pole. Luckily my birthday will be soon so maybe I can get at least a little bit money from my parents. Hey, I'll just it for sports, honestly!

Less of a human.

One kilogram to be exact. Yay! So I have lost one kg in one week and my stomach (the ultimate problem area) has definitely gotten a bit slimmer. ^o^ The two remaining kilos won't be leaving as fast, though, I can diet pretty hard until next 'Thursday, but then I have to tone this down a bit, because I'm having my tattoo recolored and I want it to heal properly. :3 Well, I guess there's no hurry. Also, we are having a friend over and we are going to go out a bit next weekend, so I might even take a couple of days off. :3 I try not to take this too seriously, because I got OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) in high school (pretty much recovered now, though) and I'm scared of developing an eating disorder too. So far everything is fine though. :D Ahem, so much talk over such a little achievement, but it has been a hungry week for me! So please forgive me. :D And now, movie time! I will watch Basic Instinct with Wolf. :3

The sandman stood me up.

I didn't sleep at all last night. I don't know why, I just couldn't. Anyway, in the morning I went to school and I was a bit hyper. Now, 12 hours (including some schoolwork, a long grocery shopping trip and some sewing) later, I feel exhausted. But as I said, I managed to sew a bit! This time I decided to modify one old Living Dead Souls top of mine (the one with no sleeves, a hood, skeleton print and attachable fishnet shirt with harness, I could't find a picture from the internet and forgot to take one) and fix a pair of fake leather pants that I bought from the nearby flea market earlier this week (they cost only 1 euro). You see, the top had some popper buttons, because of the attachable fishnet shirt and I was allergic to the nickel in them... So I removed the popper parts from the shoulders, removed the hood, widened the neckline and took the top in a bit and voilà! Here's the result.

And about the pants... I mentioned that they were very, very cheap. We'll they were in a pretty bad shape. Someone had tried to take them in by hand and the work was... poor. So I took them in again, this time by machine. I also turned around the ends of the legs and removed the ugly belt holders (one had already almost fallen off). Here's a picture of the pants also.

I must say I quite like the result. Also, when I went to shop some groceries I stopped by at Seppälä and bought to pairs of black lace panties, 2 euros each. So, today's improvement is pretty much just my ever growing wardrobe. :D Well, I did manage to take some pretty good photographs on our photography course at school earlier this week (and I usually don't), so I guess that counts as achievement. :) And yeah, the diet is still doing well, I should probably weight myself this weekend. :) So that's it for this pretty tiresome day, nighty night!
