Skiing

Sorry for such a bad mood on Tuesday. That's what happens after eating a huge pack of cookies. So to prevent such days I am announcing a new challenge STOP THE SWEETS for 15 days. This means during Christmas I am not allowed to eat any cookie, sweet etc. Well, actually, I usually gain a lot during the holidays, especially from all the bad carbs, so this time I am saying STOP to: cookies, sweets, chocolate, cakes, white bread (sometimes I have cravings for it), sugar, jam... Instead I can have: fruits, nuts, yoghurt... Hm, so little dos and so much don'ts. I know, I know, life is unfair.

I think I love skiing. I like being in fresh air and just love that sliding feeling. However I have fear of height so not very much into downhill skiing. I usually choose children route for downhill skiing if there are no flat tracks for skiers. I like the snow, when it is not so freezing outside. Last year I was at some small skiing resort in Lithuania (I mean in my own country :D). We had been there for 4 days, but these days were wonderful. Sure, the second morning I couldn't get up, as all my muscles were hurting, but I had to, as my friends, very sporty girls, didn't feel any pain and got up without a trouble. The skiing routes were not long, as Lithuania doesn't have mountains, just hills. All the routes finished on the frozen lake. And the resort was in the forest, far from the city, so it was very relaxing, quiet and full of exercise 4 days. There are some photos from that trip. In the first one - my friend, she hasn't fallen down, she is posing :) The second - that's the frozen lake and the dark spot on it - me. And the last one - me. I guess then I weighed about 87 kg, so not very flattering photo. And the thing on my head is a hat, and actually it looks nice when I don't wear it :)

So after I had found out about my love to skiing, I decided to go to a skiing trip again. However this year there is no snow at all... Maybe I should visit the Alps in Austria or Slovakia and cope with my fear of height. An idea for future consideration. Have a good weekend :)

I'm not sure whether I'd love skiing. I suspect I would, but I've never had a chance to try!

Hope the winter isn't getting you down too much, hope the no sweets rule works for you :)

I have never skied before but it looks like so much fun. I was planning a trip to the snow next year, but then decided that I wanted to go somewhere north next summer and I also want to backpack around Europe in 08 or 09, so I have all the holidays planned and I am the worst saver.

I hope your no sweets for the silly season thing works out, I know I could never do it.

I hope you have a beautiful Christmas.

The Scissor Sisters concert isn't until Feb so I might find someone who wants to go with me before then. I haven't seen Happy Feet yet, but me and some friends are either going to see that or Charlotte’s Web soon. Happy Feet looks so cute!

Come on girl when are you going to update?
I love the 2nd necklace but today I found out you can get it in silver http://www.miijo.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=2&p=303&g= I am so annoyed because I am more of a silver/white goal kind of girl.
I think everyone should reward themselves because losing weight is such a hard think to do.
I hope you have a wonderful new year.
