Hey Dalila, like simbh said.. its not unusual for your legs to get sore like that. Even when I am going to the gym consistantly, my legs get sore for 3+ days.

Hey.. are you ok? The tsunami's didnt get you.. did they

hey jake, thanks a lot for your concern, I really appreciate it . No tsunami waves didn't reach the capital,Kuala Lumur, which is inland, so we are all OK, just pretty much shaken by the abruptness and the magnitude of the disaster... it's unbelievable almost.

A friend of mine who lives on the island of Penang ( one of the affected islands in Malaysia), said the sea was so noisy and the smell of salty water was so strong, it woke him up from a drunken sleep, in his bedroom on the 16th floor!! He walked to the balcony saw huge waves, but as he was hungover, he thought - cool a buch of big waves, snapped a couple of photos... then saw the bodies being fished out of the water and it downed on him...

By the way, I am not going to Prague anymore, figured, its prolly not the same in winter.... going to Switzerland to snoop around and to ski, then if I get visa in time to Sweden to see the Northern Lights, and the famou sICe Hotel, which is built every year in completely different architectural style...

Oh and yeah ( since this is the IM forum ), diet's been realtively good, I am still staying away from anythign with sugar, and from most of simple starches, still working out, but less frequently...

Belated wishes for a Meery Christmas to everyone and timley and warm wishes for a Happy New Year. Hope you guys have a blast!

PreMier

I wish I could travel around like you. Someday, when im rich.
I would rather go to Switzerland, than Prague.. I dont blame you. Eat some Swiss chocolate for me.. lots of it, I want to know how good it is Oh.. and will you take pictures for me? Pretty please?

Hi Dalila


How was your Christmas?

Banish bad eating days forever!
Make every day a good eating day

dalila

hey there Jake, who's the lady in you avi? And I am not rich, couldn't be further from it but you see, when I fly from Asia to Europe they give me 2 stop-overs free.... So I figure why waste it, right? Will take lots and lots of photos, I promise!!

Hi Kerri, how are you darling, your pics look verrry nice! Christmas was very quiet, I was just so tired preparing for my hols ( 4 weeks in europe). We had a quiet dinner with my boyfriend's immediate family, some nice food, and lots of wine . But it was fun in a way, lots of drunken, silly and funy things happen . What were you up to?

klmclean

Thanks Lots of eating, drinking and of course, bloating Got any plans for New Years?

no Jakey, not yet, but I miss you guys, and so I am sneaking a peak in here, even on my hols! I am not training, I cant eat as much here, and I am losing weight.... I've grown even smaller I keep telling myself, I am on hols and shouldnt worry too much abt it, but a part of me can't help but think 'I cant wait to get home and to my gym'....

How've you been?

sara

My holiday was excellent, I had so much fun in the Ice Hotel in Sweden! I was in a dog sledge, raced a raindeer sledge, drove a snomobil over a frozen lake, slept in the Ice Hotel at -5 degrees C!! Will post some pics, once I download them.

Will resume my journal as soon as I recover from the jat lag.
Hope all of you are great, and on track with your BB goals, will pop in your journals on saturday!!

Take care peeps!

Hey Simon, I grew up in the former Yugoslavia ( the Balkans) so I've seen 18 winters in my life prior to moving to Malaysia, but I've never seen the weather as cold as in the north of Sweden. While I was there, the lowest was -25 C, but they say it's because this winter started late, usually in January they have around -40 to -50C!!

And you are right my holiday was a blast!! I just wish I didn't have to come back to work at all!

Hey Dalila, I saw you were at the Ice hotel. Did you stay or just visit? My wife and I lived around that area for 2 years. It get's sooooo freaking cold, but in the summer you can go skiing in shorts

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

-25 isn't that bad once you get used to it

hey there rock . I think you're talking about the Ice Hotel in Canada right? I was at the one in Sweden - near Kiruna. I stayed 2 nights and that was more than enough man, had to drink lots of schnaps to keep me warm! And there's no cuddling at nite there, let me tell ya, each to his own well-tied, well-padded sleeping bag!

Simon, you are nuts! -25 not bad? OMG, a couple of times, especially when I was on a moving object, like dog-sled, I really thought my nose was gonna freeze and fall off!

On a separate note, I went to the gym today, yay me! Since I wasn't lifting for 1.5 months, I decided to start lighter than where I left off ( I wasn't able to lift the same anyways), and do full body workouts for a while. 3 exercises major body parts, 12 reps X3 sets, and 2 exercises for smaller muscle gorups with same reps and sets - just to ease myself back into working out. Also, I am trying to eat a bit more, but still can only down 4 clean meals.

Rocco32

Canada?!? Why would I go to Canada, LOL. No, we lived in Sweden. We traveled for 2 years from Gavle (?) to about 30KM north of Kiruna and everywhere inbetween. We didn't stay in the Ice Hotel though, we just visited. Don't think you could pay me enough to spend the night LOL. I'm impressed you stayed TWO nights! Pratar du svenska?
