1 week left until I leave for China!

Now I am really starting to get nervous. The more I read about China, the more scared I get. My biggest fears today are getting robbed, getting false notes (can happend even when taking out money in the ATM), not understanding anything, being totally alone - not being able to talk english to anyone and that I wont succeed with my business idea...
But I am also very positive and excited, it will be around 25-30 degrees warm, compared to 5 here now in Malmö and I will get to see all this cool new stuff and touch new materials and further develop my ideas and hopefully bring home a bag full of prototypes ready to be sold!
I will write everyday starting next Tuesday when I land in Guangzhou. And post pictures and videos !

20 days to go then CHINA!!

Me in Simons, photo by their photographer

I have been mega busy, with doing everything and nothing. China is around the corner and I still didn't get my VISA or passport back and I feel that I have a lot of planning and sketching to do before I go - but no time.
All the diets - dukan, low carbs, high this and that have been put on the shelf and today I started replacing some meals with protein shakes, to win time and to save money and not to get into something complicated time consuming.

I feel that at this stage I should probably have all the sketches ready - I have none... It feels like I am fooling myself that it will be ok, when I really should put my ass into it NOW.

Last week I was in stockholm working and my boyfriend came with, then on the FRiday I went to my favorite club Simons in Copenhagen - a really cool place, like studio 54 in the old days with real celebrities like Orlando Bloom, the swedish prince, Lionel Riche etc to mention some that have been there the last months. If you are not on the list - there is no way you are getting in.

I came home at 6, though I took a taxi, that when I looked at my bankaccount, I could see ripped me off and let me pay 2100 SEK, when we had a deal of 1000 SEK!!! Idiot, now I have to send in the tag and a copy of my bank account and write an email, another stupid time-consuming thing.
At least I had fun! Then on the Saturday my friend had her birthday and got some staff from Hai - best sushi place in our town, to make sushi in her apartment for me and 14 other girl! Really cool :)

My little sister is home from Paris so I had lunch with her and her french boyfriend at Vapiano, and Sunday evening I went to my grandfathers birthday dinner just to wake up on the Monday and take a train to Gothenburg, attend a meeting and take a train home - eat pizza and SLEEP. Finally sleep, the first time since last Wednesday.

I can not say anything but that I failed - no excuses

My goal for Feb was to go below the magic line of 60 kg, when I weighed myself today the scale showed 63,5 kg, with 2 days to go of Feb I have to call it a failure.

I cannot do anything but try better now in March!
I will put up the same goals for training, but stick to them instead of pushing it to the end. That is:
18 hours at the gym and 12 hours power walking + 30 min in the morning before breakfast, this before breakfast part hasn't been prioritized at all now in Feb, but I will really do it now in March!

I have more time and can plan my life more effectively this month, I will not work with much other than finishing up sketches and material for my trip to China.
Tomorrow I will fix a new passport and get vaccinated. (Twinrix =hepatitis A+B, colera shot, tyfoid fever) that is 4 shots, because the twinrix I have to take twice before I go.

China Guangzhou here I come!


I have now booked the ticket for my trip to China were you get to follow my adventure of making my own products!
I will go for one month to Guangzhou, the third largest town with 12 million inhabitant and the largest city for export in China. I am leaving on April 10 all alone!! Wish me luck :)
