Today I’m going to my father-in-law’s birthday and this is what I’m wearing. I like being comfortable more than being ultra fashionable so.. 🙂

Getting Ready for my Friend’s Wedding

Getting Ready for my Friend’s Wedding

Today my boyfriend and I are going to our friend’s wedding. I met her in last year of ‘gymnasium’ (it’s a danish three year education before college and/or university). At first I didn’t really like her, but as we spent more and more time together, I found out that she was actually very fun and interesting and a good friend. We have had many fun and sad times together and she was there when I got together with my boyfriend (I was in the same class as my boyfriend) so that’s why she’s not just my friend.

She has such a great personality and I’m so happy that she is getting married today 😀

Not only am I going to the wedding as a friend, but also as a photographer! I’m very nervous and excited. This is my first ever wedding, also as a photographer. I hope she will be happy. I’ll post some of the very best photos in a few days.

Now I have to finish up and get ready to go to the wedding 🙂

The dress is a bodycon dress from Dorothy Perkins it was originally in a size 14, but my mom down-sized it to a size 10 so I could wear it today.

Going Down Two Sizes

Going Down Two Sizes

When you are losing weight, there will come a beautiful time were you have to go down in dress size. I recently went from a UK size 14 to 10. That means that a lot of my old dresses are too big now. So I’ve asked my lovely mother to fit them down to my current size.

This is a dress from Dorothy Perkins I bought in the start of January 2015, not thinking about my weight loss journey at all. When I got the dress, it was already a bit too big, especially in the bust and waist. Now, months later, I want to use this dress for a friend’s wedding. So my mom fitted the dress down from UK size 14 to 10. The two pictures to the left are from the original size 14 and the two to the right, is after it has been fitted down. In all, the dress lost 12 centimeters around the bust, wait and hips. Uh, and 8 centimeters around the arms. I am so happy! Now it fits perfectly and I love it. A big thank you to my lovely mom! <3

Soaked in sweat!

Soaked in sweat!

You know you have put in the right amount of work, when you are actually soaked in your own sweat from top to bottom and from fingertips to your toes. If this happens to you every time you work out – good on you! I don’t normally sweat THIS much when I work out, but yesterday I just had extra fun with my workout 🙂

Keep on working on your goals and you will get there soon! Remember that hard work pays off :b

I Dyed my Hair Red!!

I Dyed my Hair Red!!

I’ve wanted red hair for so long, and i finally managed to achieve the results I wanted 🙂

I made a video showing how I dyed my hair (I had already bleached it before hand).

EDIT:
After a few days, the color faded (because I was so clever to put a heavy curling cream in it). Since then, it has faded more and more, and there actually came a point where I re-dyed it. Sadly, when I dyed it the second time, the results weren’t as great as the first time. Probably because my hair wasn’t blonde anymore, but orange-ish. Since my re-dye my hair has lost color yet again, and that’s why it isn’t red anymore. It’s almost back to the blonde color it was before I dyed my hair red.

I’m really disappointed in the hair color, because it’s a permanent hair dye, and it’s like every time I washed my hair, the color got out. I even went out to buy conditioner and shampoo for color treated hair (I’ve never actually used those products even though my has been color treated for years).

I’m not actually sure what happen with the color, but I bet it was because of the curling creme I put in it, it took out the color immediately after I applied it. Guess I only have myself to blame for that one. I don’t know whether I’ll be dyeing it red again, I’d have to bleach it again to achieve optimal results and I’m just not sure about doing that again…

Attending a Photography Course

Attending a Photography Course

I’ve attended two awesome photography courses. The first course was a beginners class and the other one was a class about portraiture, models, lightning and product photography. It was both fun and very educational. We often teamed up in pairs and photographed each other and talked about the different settings and such.

I’ve been photographing since 2009 and have learned all about shutter speed, aperture, DOF, ISO and such all by myself so it was very nice to attend an official photography class, to meet other people and talk about photography and what not.

When we teamed up in pairs, one of us had to be the model while the other one was the photographer, so here’s some pictures of me, taken my other people.

I’ve been feeling down lately

I’ve been feeling down lately

It’s been quite some time since I last updated my blog. Sorry guys! 🙁 I’ve really been wanting to update and do new videos, but I’ve felt so down lately that I feel no joy in doing anything anymore. Maybe I’ve been feeling slightly lost and maybe I still am. I feel so stressed and so much pressure by society and what I feel like I’m supposed to do with my life.

It’s all a mess and if I were to do into detail this entry would be a book’s length. So I’m making it short. I’m currently working in a trainee program and it’s just fine I guess. I get work experience out of it, so that’s awesome. It’s a full time program and it’s really making me tried because I’ve been unemployed for like two months now and adjusting to my new schedule has been hard the last to weeks. But I’m already starting to feel more energized again – maybe that’s because I actually got a workout in yesterday? When I don’t work out for more than a few days I start to feel moody and tired.

My weight loss progress hasn’t been great either. I’ve actually gained about one kilo. I know that isn’t much. And I know why I gained it (been eating more because I’m frustrated and stressed). So starting this week I’m making a bigger effort in working out now that I’ve gotten used to my schedule and coming home late. I know that I can do it, I just have to do it.

I want to feel great and awesome and part of that feeling comes from doing videos and writing on my blog. I’ve actually had time to write scripts for some videos, so I only need to film them 🙂

Well, that will be all for now. I’m looking at better days ahead and hopefully I’ll get more workouts and videos in this week. Stay tuned guys!

I hope you guys are doing awesome, feel free to comment and discuss your progress 🙂

Use yourself as Motivation for your Weight loss!

Use yourself as Motivation for your Weight loss!

When I decided to lose weight, I immediately found some old photos of myself from a time were I had much more confidence and was happy with my body and how I looked.

I’ve used this photo as my wallpaper many times, to keep reminding myself what I’m striving for.

I think that when you’re on a weight loss journey, it’s crucial to be motivated and inspired. An old photo of yourself from a time were you had a weight that you felt great, confident and happy about is the best motivator you can find. I’ve read and heard many times that it’s a good thing to visualize what you will look like when you have reached desired weight – what better way to do this, than an old photo of yourself? Then you already know that you are capable of achieving your goal. You also know that your body has been at that desired size before. For me, that has made it a lot easier. Certainly a lot more relatable than a random photo of a beautiful fit woman hanging on my fridge.
