So, 80 posts has gone by and there is a sad story to be told here, at least for my english readers (i know who you are ;) ).
Im starting up a new blog on a new adress and on swedish, its sad to say but i wanted som change. Hope you dont mind! :)
So, the link is following.

I wasn't able to go to the Krav yesterday so i took the time to run some. I run from time to time, sometimes 3-4 times a week, sometimes 1. But now when the weather is turning for the better and the sun finally is staying out i try to run as often as i can.
Yesterday i ran for ~9 Km , had a good pace and i enjoyed the freshness in the air (except for the mopeds driving by with their smelly exhausts). It was about 16 degrees and just crazy good running weather.
Anyways, there is a difference when your running on warrior diet and when your running on a normal diet. :)
On normal diet.
I always felt great running before, i drank one cup of coffee and had something to eat one hour prior before the run. I tried to eat little as possible so the body can burn fat instead of burning the stuff you have in your stomach. (An example is when you always should take your powerwalks on the morning before breakfast and such).
I used to run on the evening, and i always had eaten dinner, lunch and breakfast before.
After about 4-5 km i started to get hungry just because the food in my belly was gone and the body started to burn fat, if your not interested in burning fat and just getting in fit condition, you should have some energy bar or something like that with you so you can get that carbohydrate boost and continue.
On Warrior Diet how ever i am pretty amazed. Yesterday, and every other day when i have been running, i do it before my overeating period.
So, on 3 apples, and 2 cups of coffee throughout the whole day, i managed to run at night, without the hunger feeling, without getting tired or dehydrated (HYDRATE!). And having the energy still after 8 km to run longer and with great speed, i even had a faster pace time the last 3 kilometers.
Talk about burning fat. After the run i did some stretching and just lied on the ground, being.
Nothing can beat the feeling after a great run (except sex of course). ;)
But as everything in my life, it is going to be O.K. I just need to hang on and take it easy and one day at the time.
Anyway, the Warrior diet is working fine, you don´t need to worry about me. I am not quitting that easy, there are still a lot of things that i have not tried yet while on the diet but the real test is going to come this summer when i arrive to my homeland Poland.
There is going to be a lot of food, all the time, and much of that to. I am a big fan of polish food and i love it. There will be no warrior diet for one week. I simply cant say no to grandmas wonderful egg-breakfast and my aunts chicken with potatoes.
Wonder how the body is going to react though, interesting.
Well, time to go off to work. Here is a picture of me when i weighed about 15 Kg s more then i do now.
Good morning, it is a foggy and groggy morning as i wake up. I feel the garlic in my breath, its pretty strong today, must do a mega ultra super tooth brushing session this morning, i need that.
Yesterday i took my 5 km run, it was warm and moist and i took notice of how much more heat i produced, talk about BURNING away the fat. But after the run i had a real good feeling. Endorphin is the new drug on the block. I need it all the time, and if i don´t work out or run or take the bike for a ride, i go down in a sadness mode. I have no idea how good or bad that is but it keeps me going those days that i otherwise wouldn't move an inch.

I am thinking of doing something like a categorized session in the blog, like private, warrior, other, games.. etc.. it is on a prototype stage anyway.
Anyways, off to work and then come home and take it easy, chill out, play some Red Dead Redemption. New game from Rockstar, same makers that made GTA IV, and its running on the same game\graphic engine but it plays out in the wild west, great stuff actually. Those Cowboys and Indians were real warriors in a way. :)
* Oh fuck, i forgot. Yesterday i ate some apples, nuts and 2-3 cups of coffee. After the run i just drank some water, and later on the evening about 2030 i ate a big tuna salad and for dessert i had chicken kebab with potatoes and more salad, then water-time again.
One of the main rules, when you feel more thirsty then hungry, stop eating, your body is full and its trying to tell you that.
Just have to ease my mind some before i drink my coffee and prepare for a short run.
When we go to the store to buy food i often buy fruit and nuts as well, of course. ICA (the name of the supermarket where i do my groceries) always deliver fresh food and a wide variety of green goods.
But when the fruit supply comes to an end. I sometimes have to wander off to the stores that are close to home. One of them is a place called "Fruit Center".
Imagine the center, feel it, touch it. I want you to think of the center when you go in and see all the fresh fruits, the green miles of apples, oranges, grapes, kiwis, papayas and all the fruits you can possible think of.
The nice personnel who knows everything and anything about fruits and what they taste like. You are in fruit heaven.
What a wonderful vision of a fruit center. The vision you are having though is WRONG.
Instead, when you come in, the smell of rotten fruit hits you in the face like a punch from Mike Tyson, you see the fridges who contain those "fresh" foods leaking fluids on the floor that is already a mishmash of filth, flies and hair, i even feel sorry for my shoes when i enter.
They don´t want to take away the bad fruits, instead they push them forward on the shelves, and let the "fresh" fruit lie on the highest shelf, those shelves are even high for me to reach. And even though i reach it, the fruits i manage to get taste bad as well.
Blood grapefruits that are supposed to be red like blood are pale and mostly look like the inside of a pink water balloon .
Kiwis are either to hard and sour or to soft and sweet.
Oranges are to soft and rotten.
Apples that are supposed to be sour and firm, are sweet and powdery and have stickers on them that are impossible to remove.
And on top of that, there is not enough fruits to get a fruit specialist like me to be happy.
This is just insane, the center that is supposed to be a center of wild, good and fresh fruits are just trying to get by on its bare knees and cant even compete with supermarkets that are selling everything from fruits to dog food and motor oil.
I can imagine that fruits its a hard market to handle but if your going to open a shop that is all about fruit, then LEARN about fruit and how to serve it before you sell it.
And got damn, you can at least give me a smile when i ask for a special fruit instead of being rude.
Crappy store, from today on, i close down the fruit center from my life for good. Shitty place.
Now, time to run!
Peace off!
