Herbalife vs Bambino


My TV broke down so now I´ve moved in to my kitchen where I reinstalled my breakfast TV. Love Actually is running and I am organizing my self. Four weeks at my new job, I have a plan of how to structure my self, at least a bit, drugged on penicillin for the third time around this autumn.

I realized since starting out with Herbalife in spring, that the major reason for take or not take it is the scale of readily available. Hence I asked my coach Roger for containers to bring mixed protein ( formula3 ) and tropical (formula 1) in order to easily pour it into a bottle of juice and shake it even if I don’t have my shake with me during the day or if my schedule changes. The problem with those were that you cant fit it all into them ( 2 measures of formula 3 and 2 measures of formula 1) the other option you have is to use travel pack’ s but they are only formula 1 so you have to bring additionally a plastic of formula 3. Then I were at my sisters for dinner, my nephew are soon to be 6 months and she is all into gruel for the moment, she figured out that in a bambino container for gruel you can fit in 3 mixed meals; one in each of the three separate boxes and that’s not all, it is also developed to not leak out any powder, just make sure that you keep the cap above one of the boxes, if not it might leak...

I have filled mine up, and also I have shopped pineapple and papaya stored in a container in the refrigerator (the rest put into my freezer to use later on), all inorder to make it easier to take than to skip it and re-place it with 7-11 breakfast on the way or a chocolate-bar in the afternoon.

When I did an interview with the professional boxer Isam Khalil he told me that he placed all his running-clothes in a line from his bed just to make it easier to get out in the morning. Because I think that is something we all fight with, we tend to know what we should do but instead of making it happen we close put our hands infornt of our eyes and pretend that everything is different than it is, that all problems are gone, just like when we were kids and played hide and seek. But as grown ups it does not disappear when we lower our hands and opens our eyes. 

The different ways of running away from love, self-preservation, are in its catharsis in love actually with just one week left to Christmas. I will have my chocolate pudding and enjoy the resolution of love and the hours of sunday and my free day ( my day where i don´t know the word healthy or Herbalife) : )

Good night !

Just came up from a bath, lovely even though it´s after bedtime, for me at midnight. But today is a special day, it´s the first day in a long time that I actually feel that I am living life: I have dealt with those small stuffs that you have had on your list for too long, and now I don´t speak of a week to long, but a year or maybe more. I know that you regard me as a slacker and inpredictable, and I don’t blame you. I were suppose to add photos of me reached my goal, to be an 8 at the scale thin and fit, one might think that I would find pleasure in posting a picture then but here we touch something that is highly interesting. As summer came along and routines were crashed I fell back in progress and then it escalated into uncontrollable, you who read my posts during summer can sign that it were a rollercoaster.

Since three weeks, almost four, I have been busy to get a hold of issues and people at my new job. It is a lot to take in and as I mistreated myself at Sandhamn I had to pay the price of entering my new work with low energy and a broken back that gave me pain and stole concentration add on top of this an infection in a tooth, painkillers and a confused me. I didn´t either got a hold of meals neither my sleep. Instead I got frustrated and angry.

A few days ago I once again started my mornings with a herbalife smoothie and my stomach, that crashed really bad the last days at Sandhamn, re-covered. The problem has been that I in my frustration haven’t been able to keep it up as I have overslept every morning meaning that I have been intime to work but exchanged my smoothie with 7-11 breakfast. Today I surprised myself with all the energy I got from bringing an extra shake to take when my bloodsugar starts to fall in the afternoon. I might have found a strategy that actually could work.

After been down town after work, doing some shopping as I got a full salary this month and knows that I will receive another one next moth. I love this part of my new life. Jeans, make-up and some stuffs to fix my shirt and some things for my fridge I felt like I still had energy when I arrived home around 2100. I did fix my shirt, tried and sorted out what to bring to dry cleaner and what shoes to bring and also put down my bad that needs to been taken care of , into a bag to bring tomorrow.

When organizing my laundry my sister called, she told me how she loves to have taken up her routine with herbalifeshakes. She just finished breastfeeding my nephew, my little prince, a few weeks ago. Today she told me that she decided to walk to our parents before going to an aerobic dance class at the gym, instead of local transportation, she said that she really feel a difference in energy and to dig into things and also her patience with her son has increased radically, she feels calmer. And I could only agree, the calmness is interesting as you gain energy which should make you more restless but instead it helps to focus and you get things done.

So, even if you might regard me as  traitor, I can tell that life is not easy and even if we are convinced that we will do something, circumstances comes in-between and we loose focus and then we are caught in the spinning wheel. I would say that it is by doing it nad doing it again, to use a bit of a worn out expression, you will fall of the horse both once and twice, the big effort is to get back up there every time and analyzing why you fell of this time to not fall for the same reason, maybe you will due to this or that, but after a while you wont and then when you think that your good then you suddenly will fall of, not in accordance with last time but due to something else that you did differently or due to other circumstances.
