My name is Pauline, I'm 20 years old and I live in Brazil. I've decided to create this blog in order to keep my focus on a goal. I want to lose weight, in a healthy, balanced way. I want to get back on track, literally, catch up on my exercise habits, with running and cycling. I want to wake up on my 21st birthday, which is on the 5th of May, hop on the scale and see the numbers 5 and 0 next to each other. 50kg, or 110pounds is what I expect to weight by then. And that gives meaning to my URL. I'm in the 21110 project. I have 75 days and over 15lbs to get rid of. I believe I need to keep my mind straight before anything else. That way I'll be able to control my cravings, push myself harder into exercising and eating right. I can do this!!

Here we go...
Due to the accident I had with my bike on Tuesday, I've been taking it easy on the exercising. My shoulder still hurts and I'm all bruised. I've also been to some doctors, I had to got examined and tested and just in time for that, I found I needed to get vaccinations for this immigration process I'm in.
The point is: I've been in a hurry and just messy all around. It's tough to come out of my routine like that. I've managed to maintain the clean eating for most of the time***. I didn't bike on Wednesday, but got a few Km in yesterday and today. I've been walking more, though and this morning, my scale showed 56,8 which felt really good, considering my frustration in the begging of the week.
*** However, today, before getting those needles into my bruised arms for the vaccines, I got really nervous (I'm not a big fan of needles, even though I have a tattoo. Go figure.) I was hungry because it was time for me to eat. Really, if I was any closer to home, I would've raced there and eaten fruit or something like that, but since I wasn't... I cheated BIG TIME. And I feel horrible about it. I bought and ate (yes, I ate the whole thing) a pack of cookies that are like SUPER FAT and just plain awful. It was HALF my daily "calorie count" and it ruined everything. While I was eating, I felt really strange because I knew I wasn't supposed to, but I couldn't stop. So I understood what binge eating is. I know I should just move on and forget about it, but I feel terrible. I thought about purging, but thankfully, my past helped me get that off my mind quickly. I came home, drank a lot of water, grabbed my bike and rode real fast for about 7km, when I felt a little tired.
Few minutes ago, I started feeling hungry again even though I ate like a beast hours ago... I boiled an egg, toasted a slice of whole wheat bread and had a glass of skim milk with it. I'm determined to let the whole bingeing behind. Let's see if I can do it!

Frustrated update
So I weighed myself today. And I almost cried! I don't understand what's going on, really. I know I put back on a few after a week of careless eating and drinking, but it's been a week now since I've gotten back on track and I've been eating super clean and I've been cycling and UGH! Not only did I not lose anything, I gained a few grams. Seriously. After the Carnival excesses my scale marked 57,1. Today I felt desperate to see a 4 where the 1 stood before. 57,4!!!!!!!!!!! It's SO frustrating
I'm using "My fitness pal" and I'm behaving so well... Like I said the past few days were of self-control and effort against my urges and cravings and yet, I GAINED weight? Don't give me that "It's probably muscles and stuff" because I'm not lifting and in 3 years of cycling I have not gained muscles in so little time. So yeah... I feel stupid right now, but it's okay. I'm gonna prove that scale wrong. I just need to find out what exactly is keeping me from doing it.

Today I had to take the bus. :(
The doctor advised me to rest today, so I did. Instead of biking places, I walk except to college, I took the bus there. I felt sad for not being able to ride, so I started looking at pictures and I found this one. This is me, extra happy with Coralina (yes, she has a name).
On further updates: I had this horrible urge for eating sweets this afternoon. I was out and about and out of the blue, I felt hungry and I really wanted ice cream, or pie, or just anything with a lot of fat in it. I had two cups of water instead and hurried home. When I got here, I had some whole wheat bread and a glass of milk with a tiny bit of cocoa powder so my craving for sugar would go away. It did and I'm very happy about that.

Lunch time!! I prepared this and just thought it looked very nice. And it tasted even nicer. It's just brown rice, tomato sauce and cheese. Of course I sprinkled pepper all over, it gave a delicious touch!

Uh oh!
So I chose to cycle those extra miles today. It was great! I conquered 4 "Queen of the Mountain", which are like, trophies in the app I use to map, and time my rides. I was so proud and so happy!
Coming home, though, I had a terrible mishap. I fell off the bike, right on my head. Thank GOD I was wearing my helmet (I don't usually, though I know I should and will from now on). I was so scared! I got home feeling so desperate and didn't know what to do. I called my ex (he's a cyclist) and he recommended some muscle relaxants and stuff. My left shoulder blade hurts bad, but I think it'll be good in a few days. The rest are big big bruises and annoying scratches.
The bright side is, of course, the amazing ride I finished before that and the fact that even in a desperate state, I ate clean when I felt calmer. It was a little late, however, but I don't think that will be too big a problem.
Here are my ride stats in screen shots I took on my phone:
After this one, I stopped at a friend's bike shop, had a gatorade and started my way back home
Few minutes after that last QOM I fell. I hope I'm feeling good tomorrow and hope my shoulder won't keep me from riding to college. As you can see, I had beutiful 593 calories burnt with the almost 32KM ridden. Such wonderful results... I don't want to stop!

So… This is me getting home from college. I ride my fixed gear bike there and back everyday. It’s a pretty intense ride, through traffic, no gears and a few hills to climb. I've been riding for almost a year now (thus my very strong, built legs) but I’ve just now picked up the habit of doing it everyday, no matter the weather. My one-way rides don’t go any further than 5km, so I always ride at least 10km. However, since on this fitness plan, I ride over 20km more once a week. Whatever day I'm feeling good and I have the time, I just set out and ride wherever.
So far today, I’ve eaten good. Had enough food for breakfast, two portions of fruit, a lot of water and I’m now ready to prepare my lunch!
