Had a rough day delivering puppies. We had some moments of stress but now have 2 black and tan boys and 2 black and tan girls.

But this didn't help with being healthy. I have underslept and didn't track my food as well. I did take the dogs for a stroll but it is REALLY cold so we couldn't stay out for very long. The training club is closed on Saturdays so I didn't even have the option of going for some excercise that is a good thing really concidering everything.

I didn't eat well. I lose appetite when I haven't slept but I tried to stuff something in me during the day. Didn't really succeed and went to my friends place and had 2 pieces of a home made lemon-carrot cake and snacked on some cheese that didn't help very much to my goal of being healthy... I guess everybody has good and bad days.

Today I am grateful for four healthy little puppies who, hopefully, will grow into happy healthy beautiful dachshunds!

Whatever I might have sayed about having a calorie deficite and not having any alcohol for a while- nevermind. Went out for a drink last night. Some home made strawberry rosé (whatever you might have heard about home made wine- never mind - it just has to be done right), a few jägerbombs and jägershot. Not the healthiest, I know, but as they say- errare humanum est.

Not getting proper sleep to process it as my dog is having puppies as we speak. So far we have one black and tan boy, second one coming any minute now and many more on the way. Just hope not too many- they all need hand picked perfect homes and I have held on to puppies until even 1,5 years of age to find them their ideal homes but I rather they find their families as soon as possible. This is the third (and last) litter for this female and first litter in the region for my Hungarian boy (he had 6 litters in Germany before I bought him). Fingers crossed for a smooth delivery for rest of the puppies! I know Liisu has been a natural at giving birth and taking care of the babies but still... It is going to be a long sleepless night-morning-day for me as Liisu is also the one with 2-3 hour gaps between puppies. Wish us luck and to me a not-too-cruel hangover

Not happy with myself at all. Ofcourse, not like I had made a ton of effort...

This is my second day of truly closely tracking what I consume and what I get from all of it. It is 9 PM here and I am again running a nearly 1000 kcal deficite. As my goal is to lose just a little more weight, this sounds like a good thing in theory but it is just an easy trap to fall in. Today in training I felt like I didn't have as much power as I would have wanted and I am afraid my body will go into famin-mode if I continue like this.

I have to plan better. There is no way around it. Getting my kcal up would pose no problem. Eating my weight in banana or pomelo (and don't even get me started on watermelon, peach or whatever a "hurmaa" is in english) is one of my favorite pasttimes and at the moment I am increasing my calorie count by having an ice cream night with the kids. But that doesn't set me closer to my goal of eating a healthy balanced diet and treat my body well.

I need to increase my consumption of protein and good fats. I have been meeting and exceeding a bit the suggested minimum for protein but not for the fats. I do, however, have alot of carbs! As these are mostly from fruit and vegetables, I have also a decent amout of fiber that keep the "bloodsugar roller-coaster" at bay thus curbing the hunger and not making me overeat and maybe closer to the other end of the scale. For the first time in my life I have a problem of not eating enough while eating alot...

A low fat diet has never been my goal. Body needs fats to work properly and having healthy fats is essential. How to incorporate them smoothly with some added protein as well, that is the question... Today I had some minced wild boar (home prepared from an animal who I saw in it's whole form in the woods prior it becoming a part of my freezer contents so I really know this is made from the "good stuff," not and a healthy meat) that contributed greately to my protein consumption but I am not much of a meat eater and even less keen on preparing it (I just suck at it)...

I think legumes have to be the answer so I need to get me some interesting recipes. I don't have a food processor and my blender died while making the batter for some AWESOME black bean brownies so alot of options are taken from my bean-preparing variation (oh, my brownies, how I miss you...) so I have to figure out new dishes rocking the members of the legume family. Preparation is key! I have to find some recipes that inspire me...

But I am happy and proud of myself for keeping away from junk and alcohol for a conciderable amount of time and taking the time and effort to map my eating habits and take action to improve my menu.
