and again, the time flyes by...

Hellooo !


It's been a long time since i last time updated.
So much have been going in my life, little more social life, little less training (cos i've been on/off sick for weeks, ugh). But now probably getting better, and fiinaally able to start training again.
(and oh yea, you can see I cut my hair a bit, and dyed my hair back to dark again! yippee, luv it this way !)


Can't remember, if I told you guys that I changed gym like few months ago. Now i'm able to vary my cardio, so i can do indoor cycle and stuff, not just treadmill or crosstrainer.



The gym's not as good as my old one, but it's cool, cos i can do great workouts still! And i've loved it.




I've finally been able to drop my weigh a bit. Nowadays i weigh about 62kg/136.6lbs, still trying to lose few kg's but it's reaaally hard at the moment.. oh well.. Don't wanna lose all my muscle mass. Trying to maintain as much as possible :)



I gotta say i'm more happy with my weight , than i've been in a long time. I didn't feel comfortable being in really bulked physique.... Now i'm feeling a lot lighter, outside and on the inside :)



So yeaaa, what other stuff have I done during these months ? well, for example, I started school few months ago, so most of my time and energy goes there.
Then met old and new friends, partied and just enjoyed life as it is...Thinking about this sports and when to compete, and just dreaming of a bright future :)



Lotsa love to you all. SO happy to notice you guys still come here to check out my blog once in awhile! It means you care :) <3

Love,
Eva

back in Finland.

Heyaa!
Warm welcome from abroad!


Had lotsa fun, vacation ended too soon though , oh well. I wish I could go back :) So warm and nice weather ,
- I wish it'd be like that in Finland, but nooo. It's been pretty cold now and raining :( This summer seems to suck like the previous ones. We had like only few hot days and now it's back to about 12-15+ C .. ugh !






Anyhooo,, Lagging a bit with my training and having lil motivation problems, but i'm getting it back slowly :) Someone suggested doggcrap training for me... I've read about it sometime, but i need to get into it more, thanks for the idea though :) !





It's been really cool to ease down a bit, cos i've been sooo soo sooo strict with my training and diet for years. Now i've been eating more freely, but that does not mean that i'd be eating like junk food everyday. no no no,,, absolutely not.
It means that im not strictly watching the clock that i'd be eating for every 3 hours.


Of course i've been trying to diet down a bit, still with not very good results though :D I mean that not really changes on the scale, but hopefully on the mirror even a bit :) Even if i lost some muscle during this progress, i don't stress about it now. It'll come back :)




Started doing morning cardio after i wake up. like for 45-50min on a treadmill. Running and walking incline on a treadmill. Feeling great afterwards ,so proably should continue doing it whenever i have time :) Now i've been trying to do it every second morning .


I'd really want to be able to try some new supplements. Could you guys suggest me some stuff, like NO products or something like that, to give a good pump and energy ? I've tried some stuff before, like NO-xplode etc, but i'd like to try something different.

Too bad we don't have as big supplies of supplements as like in the US, so the product line is "kinda" limited for us here.


Waiting for your ideas, so if u good ones, i'd be happy to hear them :) thankies !

ciao !

XOXO,

Yooo,

wsup?

I took a free 1-week pass to another gym, cos i used to go there before i started bodybuilding. Had a nostalgic time there; went to bodypump classes, pilates type core strenghtening classes and tested the gym. Overall pretty nice, same price as my other gym.

Pros:
-The gym has a lot of different aerobic/indoor cycling classes to offer and a lot of gyms in the whole Finland.
-The lockerroom area is REALLY clean and nice with all the free shampoos and stuff they're offering the customers to use.

Cons:
-Gym's not as well equipped and not HC-like as the other gym i've been going for years now -Times that the gym's open pretty much suck.

Other gym i've been going for years:

Pros:
-Well equipped gym (built most of my muscles there, haha)
-Better music (even though now they're playing radio there, ugh)

Cons: -Not that clean
-no other options for cardio than regular treadmill or crosstrainer/bikes.

Now i'm trying to weight the pros and cons between the two gyms and choose a better one for me. It's gonna be hard though, hahaha.
Both of the gym's are very close to me and I have a many year history in both of them.
Can't afford to be in both of them though :(

Mmm.... Gotta do the decisision AFTER our holiday which starts tomorrow...... as we're going to...THAILAND! WOHOOO! :-D



So yea, it would be really nice to get different kind of workout opportunities and able to do cardio in different ways, cos i'm getting sick and tired of just doing cardio on a treadmill, lol.
Oh well,

That's about it! I'm off to packing now :)


See you here after I get back home from here....:


Ahhhh... looking lovely, eh? Hopefully i'll be able to test some gyms there :)

XOXO,
Eva

busy bee.

Mmmm.....
stress, stress, stress.... ugh. I hope it'll finally relieve soon. Had some stuff to do here and hopefully it'll went well so i'll be able to have a future and a career, haha.
I'll let you guys know more about it later, if it all goes well.

I had my b-day 1st of May, and had a great b-day weekend :) got some really lovely presents, and then a cruise to stockholm, sweden! Had soo much fun there :)

I haven't been able to train myself much, cos i've been training someone else at this point. It's been nice and fun, but of course I do miss my own private workouts as well. Just have too little time between training someone and having daytime job. I need to start taking time for myself as well, to be able to do what i also love doing in my life ; training :)

I'd love to get a lot leaner now, but definitely wouldn't want to loose any muscle mass anymore. I've lost some, but it's cool, you always loose some when you're trying to drop your weight. But thankfully there's the thing called Muscle Memory :)

I'd need some new motivation for my workouts. New exercises, new training methods. If you guys got some cool ideas you'd like to share with me, then please, do ! :) I'd be happy to hear them!


I'm sooo happy that my 3 week summer vacation starts in excatly 2 weeks! Then we're off to Thailand again, for 2 weeks, woohooo !!! Wanted to go to the US, but it was way too expensive for now...... :coughcoughsponsorshipanyone?coughcough: ... LOL!!

Tell me if you want to see pics from the trip then :)

Been out partying a bit now as well, but not much though :) Can't really drink, cos i'm usually driving to the clubs, Lol! dang... I wish someone else would be the driver at times ;)

But it's cool that i've been able to have even a bit fun during all this workload of stress i have.

i'm hoping to be able to get my motivation back up ASAP Cos I wanna train and improve and have the great feeling after a good workout :)
And now the summer's starting to come, so i'd want to look good in bikinis! LOL! ok i think it's too late for that... maybe next summer? mm?

OK, i'm off to do some work now!

TTYL guys :))

<3,

hi again!

Heyaaa,

Last weekend,on saturday, they had the Fitness Classic competition for figure, fitness, classic bodybuilding and bodybuilding competitors. It was pretty nice to go watch the show again, cos many girls i know, were competing there, and gosh how well they did ! I'm so proud of all of them , and I want to congratulate them all for their success :)

It was really nice to see my sponsor's stand there and also talked with them for awhile ! Really great and interesting new products in the product category, which i'll be excited to be able to test soon!

I was of course really tired of work (cos I had to work on sat as well), so after I got home from the competition, I fell a sleep pretty soon, so I didn't went to the after party or anything... oh well, maybe in the fall then , lol!




oh ya, as you can see, I changed my haircolour, from black to about white/silver (except my lenghts). I just wanted some change to my hairstyle, so i made a pretty bold decicion to start bleaching etc my hair, haha. oh well, it came out pretty well though :)




Been training every body part now, cardio bit less, but gotta get back to it now though! Work just takes way too much time now, but I gotta make time for my beloved "hobby" ;)

Now i'm in a hurry already! Off to do some interval cardio to the gym!!

Love ya lots, guys !! *MWAH*

lil mag interview.

Yo !

Just here to do a quick update !
I've been well, even if I caught the "nice" flu, which has been teasing like everyone here at the moment. Oh well, nothing really serious though. Just throat hurts, and head also and feeling dizzy and nauseous, lol.

So yeah, haven't been training in couple of days, but it's alright. I'll go back to the gym as soon as possible!

I probably didn't tell you guys, but I finally started dance lessons, Hip Hop :) !
I've ALWAYS wanted to learn how to dance, but never started to do so, dunno why.. But now I did, and it's been a lotta fun! And it gives nice balance for bodybuilding !

Other thing I wanted to tell you, that they published this one mag's new issue yesterday, which i'm also in.
They wanted to do an interview and take photos of 3 different kind of women, with different kinds of body types and all.
They had one with body full of tattoo's, one actor and me, a bodybuilder.
The interview's about my view of the body type that fascinates me and how it show's up like as in my personality etc.
It's in swedish so I really don't understand much though ! LOL !!!

The mag's called Papper.

Here's a lil pic of it :)

(Haha, nice facial expression I have there, ehh ?! LOL. And sorry about the bad scan! )

Ok, I'm off to enjoy the weekend! :)

Thank you so much for keeping in touch with me! I love all the mails I get from you guys! I try to get back to you as soon as possible!

XoXo,
Eva

And so the time flies by....

Hello guys,

It's been awhile again, since I last posted here !

Lotsa things have happened in my life, good stuff (finally :D), so i've been pretty busy nowadays :)
It's been pretty cool, cos I've had stuff to do to keep me occupied, and not worry about the stuff like, that I haven't been able to train that heavy anymore ( lower body), but it's all cool.

I've trained as much i've could and had time. Mostly upperbody though. I've been trying to ease back to leg training with leg extensions and curls. We'll see how it goes in the future :)

Some people have been asking am I gonna compete this year, the answer is probably no, cos I lost precious off-season time, and I'd probably have to start dieting like in 1-2 months , I think.



Now I've been trying to train to keep myself in shape, and I hope I haven't lost too much muscle, but thank God there's the thing called 'muscle memory', so I'll gain the muscle back i've lost, when i'm able to train often like before.


But to be honest, I've really enjoyed the time to be able to take it more easy now.
I trained many years like I had nothing else in my life. Only stuff I thought about was diets, training and recovery. Of course, through all that hard work and dedication, I gained the muscle mass I have, but still. I really needed the social life as well. That's what i realized when i hurt my back. What if I lost the most precious thing in my life (training), and couldn't do that anymore? What was left? Nothing.



So yeah, I appreciate that I'm still walking, and can train, and have other stuff in my life now as well :) So it's all in balance now !

Love,
Eva

XOXO
