I am so stressed today! I started to pack and organize bags, boxes and suitcases and I am freaking out: I don’t know if everything I need to have with me will fit in our car. So for the past 45 min my husband and I are looking for different solutions: cargo roof bag or U-Haul. Both are costly, but I think the last one I would have help from my company. But in other hand, it is good to have this kind of roof cargo. In this exactly moment we don’t know what to do!
I bought some clothes today. Nothing so special, but I didn’t want to spend too much right now because I want to see how the girls dress up at my company. I am trying to find basic things and tomorrow the work continues. more…
First of all, sorry for not posting yesterday. I completely forgot! For the first time, since I started my diet, I turned off my computer and went bed… and after 15 min I remembered. The important thing that I want to mention is that I CAME BACK to my office, turned it on again, but the internet didn’t work. So, I gave up! It was a normal day… the only nice thing was going out to a friend’s b-day in a new restaurant/bar – Carolina Brewery. It was ok, but we laugh a lot. It was a big table, full of Americans… only my husband and a Chinese as students. 
After 4 hours of profound sleep, my alarm cloked rang loudly, bringing me back to real life. I didn’t have time to enjoy my relaxing moment, and there I was again – at school – 7h15 in the morning, practicing my presentation. Normally I don;t have any problems wih presenting, but today I was really nervous. I don’t know exactly why, but I am well convinced that it is because I was not so confident with our solutions. I need to believe and understand pretty well what I am talking about, especially in a second language, to be able to transmit knowledge. 
Argh! I don’t understand what is happening in the last week; or I am too excited about all the things I have to do, or anxious about the future uncertain, or my adrenaline is misbalanced… what I know is that after going to bed it has taking me at least one hour to fell asleep. The problem is that I HAD NEVER HAD that problem before. I am the kind of person that only on thinking about going to bed, I am already sleeping. I want to be like that again… Especially now that I have so few hours per night to enjoy. 
Thank you Sarah! We made my night… at least while I was at the event and ate the amazing chocolate mousse. But then I arrived home and I couldn’t stop thinking about the next piece of chocolate I would have… unfortunately, I didn’t have anything amazing at home and ended up eating old chocolate heehaw But Magda, I do ate the one you gave me in eastern and was AWESOME! 
I tried to believe that I would lose weight this week, even knowing I was not a good girl in a diet challenge. Not that I ate a lot of food, but every day I ate at least 300 calories more than my goal. Worse than that, I didn’t eat nutritious food, but fatty food. That is result of lack of healthy food and fruits at home added to the fact that I had a lot of events the last week. 
I knew that my weight day would not be full of good emotions… and I was right. I was 0.5 kg heavier this week. It is sad, but considering all the additional calories I had last week I think 0.5 kg is pretty reasonable. But, not everything is so terrible as it looks. Actually my awesome new potent scale showed me that from last week to now I have less fat in my body and a bigger % of muscles. 
I have been awake for 21 hours! After my 2 morning classes, I discovered that my sister in law missed the train that she would take. The solution? She stayed one more day alone in our home… actually not alone, with our cat… that is not so friendly! Anyway, I cooked, bought a bag to my husband, removed hair from my body, packed and went to the airport… 
First of all: HAPPY BIRTHDY DADDY!!! Today is the second year that I “miss” my father’s birthday. For my family it is really important to be together in those days, but unfortunately the distance doesn’t let me to be there now! At least Skype can help… a lot! It is easier to stand the distance when we can see and talk with our beloved!
I am updating some activities in my to-do list, since tomorrow we are going to Sugar Mountain! Until Saturday we will be in a Chalet (2 bedrooms, fireplace, fondue, and wine… romance!) at Sugar Mountain! Yes, it was my birthday’s present to my husband! Actually we are going to try to ski for the first time together! The problem is the weather forecast: TERRIBLE! Rain, showers, scattered T-Storms and high temperatures! So frustrating… I planned one thing to those days, and I am terrified with the possibility that we will not ski!
