THE NIKE BLAST 2012 - it's gonna go OFF!!!

Dance! /Å

BODYJAM and bodychange?

Just got the BODYJAM 59 release and as I opened it up I saw a little confused Swede (not the veg) inside the cover. Fun memories from this summer!




Well I'll have to admit I didn't really so much get in the picture just being me but cause I was wearing the new clothing line from LMI! ;) Never mind - if you like me love taking pics, you don't really mind the reason do you? ;)

And on a whole different note I do have to confess something. I've been a carb lover my WHOLE life - and don't get me wrong, I still very much am! But this lowcarb-thing really does work! I eat loooots of dairy products, veg, protein and fats (both good and bad fats) during Sunday through Thursday and the eat whatever I want on Fridays and Saturdays. (Sometime the weekend lasts from Thursday to Sunday, but never mind that's not the plan anyhow. :)) I n e v e r go hungry and I don't miss the carbs cause I get it every week anyway. And then again I'm not especially strict cause I have my own rules meaning you can also eat fruits and veg growing below ground, (which I've learned you're not doing if you're on a proper LCHF-plan..?). Add at least three trainings a week and no cheating and you can almost soon compare with the big boys! (Well, maybe that's nothing to strive for but you get the point.)

So the carb love story is of course still on but more exclusive on special occasions.. :)




(And apparently this picture does not only show that you can get into shape by working out and changing your diet but as you can see also how far up a C-section can go and that hernias (above the belly button in my case) you get during pregnancy doesn't go away by themselves. Grr.. Any other questions we can weave into this post perhaps? Wondering about sleep deprivation or body fluids regarding pregnancy or child birth?? Please send me a private message instead.. Too messy.)

Now work and later Sh'Bam by myself in the studio! Have a fab Tuesday!

Later /Å

Hockey night!

Tonight it was hockey time with Sara and Mia! Long time since I was at a game so actually looked forward to it even though I'm not all that into sports.. :)



We started off well and sat down to watch the first period (pic borrowed from Sara)..

I cheered and boo:ed for a good ten minutes and thought I was well into it until it suddenly hit me and I leaned over to Mia and asked: "Frölunda are the ones in the red shirts right?" Shit, you just can never be too sure can you..



In the break the VIP-room was mega crowded so we just waited out the worst busyness and then sat down in peace and quiet when people started heading back to their seats for the second period. We on the other hand enjoyed bartender/waiter Oscar's (or Jeppe or whatever his name was) Ceasar salads and red wine instead. :)







Then we thought we'd better watch at least a few more seconds of hockey that evening - since that was the reason we came come to think of it. And so we headed back to squeeze our way back in. Easier said than done though..

Well at our seats with about two minutes left of the game and as the opponents did way to many goals in a row I thought Sara was making well a bit more noise than necessary when the "other" team was winning.

- "Sara! You are cheering for the other team, you know!?"
- "No Åsa, that's the team I'm cheering for and that's the reason we're here at all. Maybe you wanna look around you..?"

Oh and there it was. Quite clearly we were not in a red part of the audience. We were in the middle of the white team's cheering zone. Well done, Eriksson. Nicely done. Next time perhaps just open you eyes and shut your mouth a bit earlier? Just an idea though.

Just an idea.

Whoops. /Å

Sleeping experiment gone bad..

Woke up to an absolutely stunning morning, even though the expression 'woke up' feels like a stretch since I never actually went to sleep. Crappy sleepdysfunctional woman. How hard can it be? I'm knackered all day and feel like I could fall asleep in a second but when I actually lie down at night I'm f***ed. Wide awake.

But on the bright side I become a kick-ass negotiating little biatch during daytime. In meetings with a sleep deprived Eriksson you better be ready to get to the point and do it fast. I've had quite a lot of phone salesmen calling me lately and my collegue is just laughing at the accelerating hostility from my side.

Well whatever things could be a lot worse, I know. I'll just continue learning to drink coffee and I'll be just fine in the end I'm sure.

Bring the Monday on. Try and bite me.

Zzz /Å

Ps. If anyone feel like tipping me off with a particularly good book, ralaxation cd or insomnia tea or likewise? It's not my intention to be rude but please don't. Not in a place to take a n y t h i n g on right now that's all.

Stormy Sunday..

We waited ou the rain before we headed out today. And saw a little cute white cat flown up in a tree.. :)



In the afternoon Sara and Mia came for a hamburger feast! And even though I had bought big salad leafs to work the LCHF way I had also bought buns just in case - and who was I kidding? If they're right there on the table of course I'm gonna have one. :)







But hamburgers are messy so when I brought out the cam there sure was a moment of giggly mouth wiping..



..before the girls were ready for the usual smile picture!



And then of course - dessert! :)



Now packing the training gear for tomorrow and cuddling with the little guy. <3

Burp? /Å

Morning chill and blondino overload!

Ebbe woke up in the very best of moods and spent the evening dancing around in front of Kidz Eurovision Contest on the telly until he crashed in his favourite chair..


Wheater is absolutely shitty outside so we'll just hang around indoors for a bit more, but worst case we still have to get out and get soaked since I have to do some grocery shopping before two other blondes come join me here in my little apartment for dinner tonight!

My lovely GFM-collegue Sara..

And my girl Mia from Sportlife Educational Team!

LCHF-burgers and chocolat cake is on the menu! A great mix if you ask me. ;)

Later /Å

Christmas is here I guess.. ;)

Today Ebbe and I met up his grandma and granddad for a Christmas market near where I'll be living come February. (CAN'T wait to move btw!!) And the thing our whole family like best? Trying our luck at the lotteries..







And yes, the little guy was born with his fair share of luck. Happy guy with his winnings..



After that - snack time! Good thing I do eat carbs in the weekend.. Sugar coma here we go!



On our way home in the bus Ebbe frowned at me and started shouting that he wanted his "napp" (pacifier)!



And he kept shouting and didn't really listen at all until I overvoiced him: "Dude! It's in your mouth already!" The look on his face when he realized..



After taking it out to make sure I wasn't lying he just put it happily back in again. Bless.



The afternoon was spent cleaning the apartment and playing dentist with Ebbe. Not my favourite game  but hey, it makes him happy. :)


And now we just got back from a delicious and fun party evening at Annikas and Michaels place! They're so much fun and I can't wait to do the Sh'Bam quarterly together with her next weekend!

Now a glass of red in the couch watching Ice Age 1 with Ebbe! A frikkin g r e a t Saturday. :)

C ya /Å

Love my new hat!

There had been a special delivery to the office - a check out what I now intend to wear for the rest of the season! :)



I love it! And I love the message: Träna. (And for my lovely foreign readers that means: Work out.) Plain and easy. Cause that sums up so much of what I believe in.

My health tips of every day:

1. Smile.
2. See the good.
3. Exercise.

Might not make you great, rich and famous but it sure will get you through your days on a more cheerful note than if you don't! :)

Tonight Ebbe and I enjoyed cinnamon pancakes with jam and whipped cream and just cozed up in the couch together all evening.. <3




And some extra love goes out to my collegue Sara who's made me laugh - hard and long - all day! :) And is apparently a kick ass secret-keeper.. We'll see about that. ;)

Ciao /Å

Ps. Do you want to get a hat for yourself?? They come in tons of colours and are just 100SEK each! Just e-mail order@jimberg.se today! :)

My big little fellow..

Everyday he packs his new and beloved bag with the same stuff before we head off to daycare. A book, a pacifier and his teddy. The proud look he has on his face when he carries it around is just adorably priceless! <3 It must be the same feeling as when I get a new pair of flashy Nikes or just slip on my 12cm heel Vivienne Westwood at home just cause I feel like it. ;)

Now work! So longing to come in from this cold windy crappy wheather. Brr..

So long /Å

Ps. And for all you worrying peepz out there: Of course he wears a beanie when it's cold out. But we were just outside the daycare entrance so he took it off. An honestly, with hair like that - who wouldn't be showing it off? ;)

Quite an okey way to travel in the morning..


Wish I could too.

Yawn /Å

We love bubbles!

My prince my light my love..


..and his brand new pink bathtub!


Cozing it up. <3

Night /Å

Today's cut and dye..

A pic of just me and all my OWN hair. Sure it's grown quite a bit but gaaaaaaah how boring compared to the previous hairflow..

All the fake hair I had in. Doesn't really look like much now does it?

New cut and a more wintery blonde colour..



What you see is what you get. Don't have to worry about getting it stuck in my armpits while working out anymore though.. ;)



Not a superhappy bunny. Hrrmpf.



Do like the colour though! :) And right now it's straightened. I usually sleep with it in a bun so think we'll be more friends tomorrow with a bit more wave to it!



Anyways, we can sum this blogpost up in ONE word:

WHATEVER...!!

Snip snap /Å

THE rubber sneaker boot!!

:) /Å

Superficial lovestory ends today..

Thank you Les Mills International for hooking me up with the beautiful long goldilocks I've been carrying around for the last four months! It's been a superficial blast - especially after losing a LOT of hair breast feeding - that today is coming to an end..

Nike rules!

<3 /Å

Again..

Sleepless in Gothenburg. It's 2.57 am and I'm wide awake. And have been for a while. Got up, had some yoghurt and some green tea. Checked out the newest collection of NIKE online. Checked Facebook (zzzz..). Sorted out some planning in my calender. It's strange cause the last few days have been just like this. I wake up ready to go. Not sleepy at all. After like three hours.. No wonder my eyes are more red than Santa's hat in the morning. Yes yes I know. S t r e s s. Yup. Been there done that know the signs. What to do though? Work is as it is and things needs to get done. Always. Preferably yesterday. Seriously I need to run a huge company in the future so I myself can make sure that the planning is of the kind that I'd like it to be. Or actually, better up, just own it and have someone do it for me. See now that sounds like a great idea already. ;)

C u soon. /Å

Good day!

This morning my beautiful collegue Johanna Lönn came into my office and let my try a new protein yoghurt called Skyr! A great day to start a day. And with that I mean more by Johannas lovely company than with the yoghurt. :) Now the yoghurt tasted great too - but it wasn't aaall that different from any other yoghurt either. The biggest difference was that it actually taste berries and not sugar. Try it yourself!




Flicking through the latest issue of Fitness Magazine I saw two of my beautiful, strong and talanted Nike collegues for a long time - Elaine and Maria! Super articles and I'm PROUD to say the least to be working with them..








Now time for some work on the computer, Sh'Bam 6 in the livingroom (aka bedroom and office ;)) and this yummie dinner! Baconchicken with garlic and whiskey cheese.. Mmmm..




During lunchtime today I worked out with my new personal trainer Linus Lundqvist and I'm dreading tomorrow just a little bit to be honest. Sure, I'm fairly fit but oh my lord.. In one word: PLYOMETRICS.

Hilfe. Ouch. :-/

Have a good night!

Since when does being single mean avaliable?!?

I'm confused. Where does this constant belief come from, that everyone who's not in a relationship wants to be? I'm not saying that I believe there are too many people who wants to be living alone their whole life but for some parts of it? Absolutely. For some strange reason there is a LOT of turbulence all around me relationshipwise right now. Amongst friends and amongst work collegues. The stars and planets must be all in the wrong places. Astronomical collision perhaps? :) Today at work a quite funny discussion took place. (Now this is all from a heterosexual female point of view mind you. And feel free to disagree as always - man as woman.) Anyway here's what was said:

It often seems to be the case that some men tend to try and move in and take a chance at every woman who just comes out of a relationship. Never mind if there has been a n y kind of chemistry or feeling whatsoever between him and the woman at all. Now she somehow automatically has a sign saying 'avaliable' hanging over her head!? Sounds familiar to anyone?

Now that's really what's confusing me.. Does that mean that the avaliability of a woman is defined by whether she is involveed with another man or not?? Is she diminished to somewhat of a red or green sign on a toilet door? Could it not just possibly be so that she is comfortable in her situation as it is? And even if she isn't, does that mean she's ready to take on anything or anyone - without any emotional selection at all? Maybe in some cases, sure, but I'm sceptical. Does being single instantly mean you are looking for something else??? To me it sure seems a lot of men are of that opinion..

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for the romantic side of life and whatever feels right most probably is right and that everyone should follow their heart if they happen to meet someone they want to be with. No matter fast/slow timing or whatever. But to some of my girlfriends (you know who you are ;)) and me it too often seems like a crappy excuse from some mens' side. It's like they think: "Oh, she has a boyfriend? Then I get why she's not responding to my interest." (Duh!) Just as the same mindset seem to figure: "Oh, is she single now? Great! Then there is nothing standing in my way to be with her!" Eh.. HELLO!!?? Heard of own free will? Attraction? Personal interest?? (Or disgust? Repulsion? "I'd rather eat my own shoe after stepping in dog pooh?? I could go on..)

So the tip of the day (from a somewhat bitchy me, I get that):

1) If you're interested in a woman - tell her!
2) When she answers - LISTEN.

Now most men and women will say to themselves: "What an absolutely useless blogpost. Tell us something new, please." For all of you - sorry I wasted your time. For the rest of you..

You're welcome.

Peace love and clarity /Å

Thank you Skype!!

Absolutely amazing that one can chat forever with people you love without it costing anything even though they're half across the world! Just got off Skyping with my lovely friend Jericho and got a long update about Les Mills photoshoot that she, Susan, Ben, Joel and some others were in last week. Fun stuff!




And hopefully(!) she might be coming to Sweden over the holidays - YAY! :)

Fingers crossed. /Å

SH'BAM day two!

Today was a great day and they all worked superhard! 2012 better get ready to get blown away when all these dancers hit the fitness schedules all around the country! Here I'm chilling with my Sportlife homegirls Lisa och Sandra.. :)



Lunchtime yummies. I love sprouts! (They are called sprouts right? The sort of mini-cabbage thingies?)


Sh'Bam maniacs Dusko och Biggan..



After the module I stayed in the studio dancing through Sh'Bam 6 twice to 1) rehearse and 2) get some excercise into my day. A good feeling when I was done. And let my tell you the release is a w e s o m e!!

Now home made meatballs for dinner, burning some Powerstrip® dvd's and checking for new music on Spotify. Easy night..



Tomorrow the tempo is all back up again. Phew! Going to bed early.

Tjing /Å
