Happy Halloween!
Tonight me and a my best friend are going trick or treating. Me and her have done it since 1st grade, so it's kind of our little tradition. Unfortunatley, there is no halloween-party in my friend zones (even if there were, I couldn't go because my grandfather's is having a birthday dinner.) I was thinking of hosting one myself, inviting all the girls in my new class, but it just didn't happen. Maybe because of my grandpa's dinner haha.
Anyway, I LOVE dressing up and doing my make up for halloween - I think it's the most fun part. I am going to be a "dead girl", like I have just been killed. And on my temple I'm going to have a bloody gunshot, with my hair a bit bloody as well. I wanted to have a white bloody shirt on, but that's what my friend is going to have so I'll just find something else.

Cheat meals
Yesterday I was in the mall with a friend, shopping for Halloween. Me and her always have fun together, like super fun, but yesterday it wasn't as fun as we usually have. I guess both were tired or something haha.
Anyway, we ate on an amazing Asian restaurant, were you could choose the base of the dish: meat, fish or chicken, noodles or rice, curry sauce, sweet chili or another sauce. I chose sashimi with noodles and curry sauce, super delicious (ofc you got a lot of greens with it)! And the thing is, I kind of follow a non-existent eating plan (lol that sounds weird.) It is simple: I eat as much whole grains as possible, no white sugar and a lot of greens and fruit. I stay away from fast carbohydrates, basically. Then I read at a very inspiring health account on insta that the girl that writes on that instagram account eats one cheat meal per week. So, that was my cheat meal. But then, my best friend wanted to go and eat some FroYo, and who doesn't love that. I said yes, and I did take the sugar and fat free yogurt, with only fruit. But then, I got so much guilt-feelings. "I'm not healthy" "I'm not going to get fit now" and things like that. Like eating-anxiety. Sometimes I get that, after I've eaten something unhealthy. And doesn't that sound really sad? Yes it does.
I have overthought it, because I want to have that cheat meal and NOT feel guilty. I am a quite healthy person I do resistant training three times a week, and cardio 3 times a week. I do eat healthy, almost 90% of the time.
I don't think it is possible to make it go away just poof and gone, but I think I can change my way of thinking a little bit and that will help. Also, I think I need to not be so hard on myself all the time, being more proud after working out and not think too much on that cheat meal. Today is arms-and abs day, and I really didn't feel like working out, but I did.
Now, afterwards (even though I had to go down on my knees halfway through the push-ups) I feel very proud. This is just the first week of this program, and I am going to get results if I stick to it.
Reward yourself more, and be proud of yourself♥
This picture feels very inspiring when you don't feel like working out. YOU have to go to the gym if you want to get stronger, tighter and fitter, NO ONE can do it but YOU!

Relatives and Christmas. And Fashion.
So, in my family we always do 2-3 christmas'. On dad's side it's A LOT of family to remember, and my cousins there (two girls 1 and 5 years older than me) are kind of perfect. The oldest one works for Hollister which does explain how beautiful she is (and slim.) The other one is as gorgeous as the older one, so yeah. Myself, am not completely skinny, and I don't always fit in XS. I am completely fine with that - 99% of the time - but that last procent is when I am with them. I do have very fun with them, actually, and I love my family, but those two can make me unsure. Then, the older one, has a boyfriend that I am not very fond of. Haha. I guess it sounds like my dad's family is terrible, but they're not, I still love them. I just feel a bit misplaced and uncomfortable with them. Our family are sort of the "outsiders" in the Orlande family, and don't hang out - except when birthday and family parties happens. Like, all our relatives on dad's side lives in a city 15 minutes from here.
Then, there is the Dahl family, mom's family side. 70% of those relatives lives in the middle of nowhere up in north, but everyone is so nice and warm. Not saying that the Orlandes aren't but I just feel more like an "insider" at the Dahl-side. The rest of the Dahl family is my grandparents and my aunt, uncle and their kids. We hang out quite a lot (I were shopping with one of the cousins, she's 1 year older than me) and we're really close. I always have fun with them and feel as comfortable as I can with them. We could move into a big house together and we wouldn't be surprised how we acted or anything. Everyone always have an amazing time when we are together (at least once every week we are gathered.)
So, we always have one christmas, often 2 days before real christmas, with my cousins and grandparents on the Orlande side. Then, we celebrate with our friends and then real christmas this year will be with the Dahl's. I am looking forward to it very very very much, at least real xmas.
I always have something of a fashion disaster when it comes to picking clothes to the Orlande's (mostly because the two cousins always looks so perfect and I get a bit self conscious around them.)
Therefore, I have made an nice little outfit that I am going to try to get hold of, or something like it.

Sorry for the little square at the side..
Then I have started a new training program, that seems quite popular and very inspiring. So, from tomorrow I'll stick to it, for 12 weeks! Gaash, I am so exited! It seems fun, good and I am very sure that I will see changes, and hopefully feel better in my own skin. Review will come on it, but ya know, I have to try it first!

My Life Story
Hello all!
My name is Arlette, and I have been here for 13 years. I am a happy, thinking, loving, energetic girl in my own way. I love being with friends, and I love moving around a lot. This is going to be a sort of dairy, that the whole world can read. I live in a country (duuh) 45 min from the real city. I love shopping and fashion, and I have a lot of different periods, where I like a special food or a special type of clothing. Right now, I am obsessed with cottage cheese, for example.
I have just started a new school, which I like very much. I am quite an anxious person, but happy, so I worry quite a lot. I am trying this new thing, living in the now and don't look forward to even the next day. I think it is going good, and I feel great!
I had quite a hard time last october to this june, my confidence was at the bottom, and I felt fat and ugly. I gained a few pounds and I loved watching series (too much.)
In december this year I wanted to change that, but with the not-so-nice-school I was stuck in made it hard to change my way of thinking, and living. So, this summer when I had summer break before I was starting a new school, I decided to get healthy, workout and boost my confidence. I wasn't bullied or something, I just felt alone.
Today, I feel amazing, and I love my life. I have a lot of confidence and I am very proud over my self for getting up from the bad period of my life. I am the kind of person who thinks that everything happens for a reason, somehow it all makes sense. I don't believe in god, but in fate. I think that everyone's fate is to be happy. I think that you have to work to get want you want, no matter what it is. If you can dream it, you can do it, you just have to give it time.
That is my life story, and you will follow the next chapter from now! I will put up one post per day, fashion, health or life related.. Or something that crosses my mind.
See ya!
