Hello! First thing I want to say is that I decided to quit the gym and BURN CALORIES AT HOME NOW! You may ask me, why I decided to do it? Well, I have been there two times this week… I can’t tolerate when all people are staring at me in the gym… It’s really annoying and I feel very confused. That’s why I came to this decision. I think I can find another effective way to lose my weight.

So what I’m going to do now? I thought about it a lot. Well, I need to find more information about various methods of burning calories… I think I should read more about different weight loss programs. That’s my plan for today Well, I must go now Dear Readers. See you next time!

Good evening… I’m so disappointed in myself… Today I bought a new scale (the old one has broken down…). Dear Readers, I feel very shame.  I have put on almost 3 pounds! Gosh, all my efforts have failed after one week! It can’t be worse, than this… Everything I need to start from the beginning. Well, I can’t give up, because I have promised to myself. I must be a strong woman. I need to think about everything right now.

It’s been a month since I started to write my blog. What have I done since then?

1. I haven’t eaten any hamburger (I am very proud of myself for this).

2. I have joined the gym (Well, I have been there only three times…).

3. I have gone on the Watermelon diet (…For the three days. What a shame…).

To sum up, the results aren’t very good. I think I put too little efforts in burning calories. Dear Readers, I need to change something radically in my life! But how to do it?

The first thing I can do is to go to the gym tomorrow. Then I need to continue my Watermelon diet. Or I could find more information about burning calories and choose another diet plan… Well, I’m too tired to think about it now. I need to relax… Goodnight Everyone! See you next time!

Dear Readers, as I promised to You, today my post will be about Italian methods of burning calories and a variety of Italian traditional meals.

As you know, Italian food is unique amongst world cuisines because it has birthed two international meals – pasta and pizza.

First of all, let’s talk a bit about pasta – one of the traditional Italian foods. Dear Readers, did you know that Italian pasta has about 600 different varieties and shapes? Well, I have the opportunity to taste some different Italian pastas and it was so delicious! Moreover, Italian pasta doesn’t contain any fat, sugar and starch! I think it’s a good choice to eat this meal when you are burning calories. When I have the time, I will try to make it myself!

Well, I have to admit that Italian pizzas look so delicious… Margherita, Capricciosa, Verrazano, Urbana… I have never eaten so good and tasty pizzas in all my life!!! But my friend said that pizza has a lot of calories and isn’t very healthy… After these words I am afraid of my weight situation … Maybe I have put on weight after this wonderful trip?

Finally I want to say that during my trip I haven’t seen any obese Italian. Maybe different culture and traditions play a big role in our life…

Hello my Dear Readers! I had a wonderful week in Italy!!! This country absolutely entranced me! I saw so many amazing and interesting places which have left an indelible impression on my mind… I am very satisfied with my journey so I’m going to tell you about Italy in detail.

Dear Readers, Did you know that Rome is the most visited city in the world? Well, last week I had the opportunity to see it for myself! So many tourists from all over the world come there to see historical monuments, buildings, and sculptures.

Together with my friend, I visited Colosseum (the Flavian Amphitheater), one of the most impressive historical buildings of the Roman Empire, built by Emperor Vespasian and his son Titus in 80 A.D. This architectural monument is so huge… I can’t even imagine how it was built? Colosseum you can see in the first photo.

I saw so many impressive monuments and places in Italy that I could write about it all day. The most beautiful place for me was The Cupola of St Peter’s Basilica. My Dears, can you imagine that I climbed 300 stairs up to The Cupola? After that I was so exhausted! I think that climbing the stairs is one of the effective ways in burning calories…

Two days we spent in Venice, one of the romantic cities in all over the world. Dear Readers, Venice is really beautiful city! We were so enchanted by this place… Riding in a gondola at evening, walking the beautiful streets – I will never forget these wonderful days…

The next time I will talk a little bit about Italian methods of burning calories and a variety of Italian traditional meals.

P.S. Here are some beautiful photos from Italy.

Hello, My Dear Readers! I have some good news for you! First of all I will talk about my second time in the gym. I am very proud to say, that I HAVE LOST 1 POUND and I feel differently now!!! This is very good news for me, because now I know that all my efforts haven’t been for nothing! (Well, I must admit that live without any tasty hamburger is very difficult for me now…) I was so happy about it that I didn’t notice how time flew so fast in the gym! Maybe the second time was a little bit easier? My personal trainer showed me some new exercises on a stepper, treadmill and elliptical trainer. I hope that tomorrow I won’t feel that horrible ache in my legs again..!

But I have more good news today! My boss gave me one week of vacation! Yesterday my good friend offered me to travel with her in Italy!!! I had never been there so I was very impressed with her offer! I used all my savings to buy a plane ticket… Dear Readers, our destination will be Roma! I always had a dream to visit this city and now my dream will come true!!! I have read a lot about Italy, about Italian culture… It is very interesting for me. Italy differs from my country in many ways.

The bad news is that I won’t be able to write to you during my travel… But I promise that I will try to find out a little bit about Italian methods of burning calories. See you next week, Dear Readers!

Hello, my Blog Readers! I have just eaten a piece of watermelon and now i am here to tell you about my first training day. I went to the gym after my work on Monday (I haven’t mentioned that I work in the library). I was so nervous because it was the first time in my life. My weight is still 226 pounds.. My personal trainer have created my burning calories program and showed me some exercises for beginners. The hour spent in the gym was terrible!! After 7 minutes on bike and 10 minutes on cross trainer I felt so tired and I wanted to quit everything! The past few days I have been feeling a horrible ache in my legs all day!!! I don’t know if I will be able to burn calories in this way… I think it’s too hard for me and I’m too weak for this…

Now I am planning to go to the gym on Friday. Maybe the second time will be easier.

Hello! Well I have just been reading a very interesting article about watermelon diet. I love watermelons so I’m very interested in this diet! But I have some doubts… Is it really as easy as it sounds? They claim that it is only needed to eat a lot of watermelons. It is written that if I replace 3 ounces with watermelon at eight calories per ounce than I can save about 426 calories a day. It is enough to lose 3.7 pounds a month or 44 pounds a year!!! Burning your calories with watermelons…Gosh it sounds amazingly simple! I think I had never heard about the tastier diet than this! Well I am going to take a look into my fridge if I have some watermelons.

P.s. I am so interested in watermelon diet that I forgot to write about my first training day… so I promise to write about it the next time.

Good evening, My Blog Readers! This day was so exhausting for me… I have been cleaning my flat all day (since 12h), and now I feel so tired. I live in a two bed flat and I can honestly say I hate housework! Well I haven’t mentioned yet that I live alone… and sometimes I feel so lonely. I am 34 years old and I don’t have a boyfriend. I have never even had a real long-term relationship and I think the main problem is my weight! For this reason I must try my best to reach my weight loss goals.

Let’s talk a bit about my visit to the gym. When I saw this place I was a little bit frightened. The gym was full of young, slim, beautiful ladies and boys and I thought that this place is not for me… When I was looking around I heard a voice saying “Can I help you?”. It was a nice woman who invited me to join a gym and I couldn’t refuse! She told me that I will have a personal trainer who will create a personal training program for me. And she added that I can start from Monday. When I left the gym I was thinking about my decision. Did I make a right decision? Will I be able to go through this?..

Next time I will talk about my first training days and my feelings about it. Good night, Dear Readers!
