Swedish Invasion
BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com Yep, that's right, the swedish invasion of the United States has officially begun. The mission is all about having fun, learning lots and being in the best god damn shape of my life
 Yes, all those three things can be done at the same time, I've just got to be smart and follow my own lead  For those of you that don't know me, I'm IM's own swedish girl who is currently in the US for an exchange year. My boyfriend Justin (Eggs here on IM) is here too (he's an american) and we live in the same apartment complex. Now, this year will definately be challenging. My roomies are party animals and they really want me to go out with them all the time. That's not going to happen. They eat crap, I won't. Most of them don't work out, I will. Just having them around all the time is hard sometimes, since I'm the kind of person that needs a lot of space sometimes. The classes I'm going to take this semester are all in the Health Sciences department and I'm really excited to start. The teaching methods will most likely be different and that can be a challenge. Having all my friends and family in Sweden is also hard, but I know that it's a good thing to learn to live on my own. Justin is my biggest supporter and he really is my angel. I did have one short session of emergency homesickness last week and he just told me to let it all out and cry on his shoulder. I plan on logging my meals and workouts here. I will probably skip it somedays when I'm busy, but I will log most of the time The diet I follow is the healthy diet  I take day by day and make healthy choices. I can't stand sugary things, so that won't be a problem. My workout plan includes quite a bit of cardio and weights. Let's get this party started |

Good luck hot stuff, Ive missed you!!!!!
Low carb milk, you lucky girl~!!! Oh, about your roomies-they lead a totally different lifestyle than you, and if they are going to judge you, so be it. They should be accepting of YOUR ways, nothing else. Be yourself. Do what makes you happy. Dont ever feel pressued to drink and party, if thats not you. I guess overall this is your life-you should never live to people please, I am a strong believer in that. I think you should sit down with your roomies and set things straight, once and for all before its too late. JMHO! Take care.  |

You look so gorgeous and fit, but I cant believe how controlling these girls are already.. I hope they come to accept you and stop trying to change you but I'm afraid it MAY become a problem.. Just stay strong!

Thanks peeps
You are all so wonderful! I'm being myself and I'm doing my thang. My roomies don't give me too much of a hard time right now. It's really only one of em that can be a bit controlling and she actually works out a bit. Though she's picking on my eating a little but I just laugh it off.Had a good 2nd workout today, felt gooood |

Justin and I went to a Caribbean restaurant yesterday. It was great! Had a mixed seafood platter as an appetizer and then a chicken salad. It was great! No fatty sauces either and we got a huge glass of water. I liked that place
 Went out with my roomies for just a little while. Didn't want beer or their sugary drinks so I went for sugarfree redbull and just a tiny bit of vodka. Came back at 10:30, I was too tired. It feels so weird not being able to buy alcohol here, I'm so used to the swedish laws. Meals yesterday were lacking some protein. Might be better today. I must say I really like the way I look right now. Haven't been so happy with my looks before I think, it's a great feeling |

hey Jenny!!
I LOVE reading your journal! this new one is exciting! Im getting ready to go back to uni in 17 days, and i cant wait! Live it up, but study hard too! rememeber why you are there. and i TOTALLY know about crazy roommates and partiers, just stay true to your goals and your lifestyle and respect theirs (even if you find it kinda disgusting at times), and they will leave you alone! Qestion for you jen, how old are you? Im just wondering if we are close in age. Your progress over the year has been awesome to see! and I know how you feel. liking what you see in the mirror is such a great feeling, i love it! enjoy that gym in the apartment, that is fun! |

Everythings looking awesome Jenny!
 I love riding bikes, but there's no where to ride around where I live either. We don't have sidewalks except for a little tiny area in town and there's a ton of cars always going up the roads. |
