D.O.N.E.

Went down to Sportlife Ullevi and sweated out SH'BAM 8 all by myself in the studio! Phew. Now I'm fresh outta the shower and heading to bed.

Tomorrow:

9.30 Wedding meeting (toast madame/toast master)
11.30 BODYBALANCE
13.00 Lunch meeting GFMs in the sun somewhere!

Let's hope the sun is shining tomorrow too. :)

Night /Å

The best Monday in a long time!

Today I got an invitation to come over to Ebbe and Henke for some bbq in the sun! Now for anyone who'd think that's just any old bbq in the sun better think again.. OR have Henke send one of his "mystery burgers" to your house. He won't say what's in them but they sure are d i v i n e..

I am one lucky girl to have so many wonderful people in my life. <3

Now I'm thinking whether I should start with the quarterly education session for SH'BAM or if I should go to the gym to run through SH'BAM 8. Cause it needs to be one of them..

Will keep you posted!

Ciao /Å

Brownies and celebreties!

..and some sour singing.. Haha!

:) /Å

Made me laugh!

From a friend at a girl party on a Saturday night..


Hihi!

Every morning..

..starts the same way for this little fella. In the sofa in the sun in front of the telly.


Saturdays all week long?!

I wish. /Å

Race time!

Today Ebbe and I headed out to participate in Sportlife Junior Race! And handsome Henke met us on site. :)

Yesterday..

Was staying at home day with a little fella who had been coughing his life away all night. (No sleep for neither him nor me.. X-/)

So we watched Boog & Elliot and in my desperate attempts to get sleepish rest I suggested he could paint on me. That way I can feel what he's doing without actually having to keep my eyes open.. ;)





And tried to get as much healthie stuff on the lunch plate as possible for him and me to get/stay strong and healthy soon!


In the evening my great friend My came around and we had one of those (rare!) undisturbed evenings of girltalk for a few hours. Awsome! (And y e s you would have liked to be a fly on the wall, cause some of the topics discussed were, so to say, entertaining! ;))

Now remembering SH'BAM 7 im fron of the telly with spinach eggs and coffee for breakfast. Yum! Sooo want to get going with learning SH'BAM 8 but since I have one more module on 7 I have to keep it fresh first. :)

In an hour I'm heading off to the hairdresser and then working late tonight. SH'BAM class at 17.30 at Sportlife Backaplan! Join me on one of the drop in-tickets?! :)

Have a great day!

Today..

..I'm so feeling the same mantra as this beautiful and wise woman.

And of course now and then stop to smell the flowers..
Longing for my little one now..

<3 /Å

More weekend pics!

And yes, my beloved Beckis did have three sets of clothes for the evening! :)



Want to see the third one? That and more pics (some that really could use some censoring.. Haha) you'll find on her blog!

Girl is Glam! <3

Nightnight/Å

Monday..

Mega tired now. Just finished writing out the notes from fridays Les Mills meeting and still have a bit to go but really need to sleep. Cause in just a few hours I'll be hanging out here again..

A regular day at the office?! :)

Then again - like today - home to hang with the little one! <3

Today Ebbe and I took a trip to Henkes office to pick up my brand new coffee machine - YAY! :)

Oh, and of course - chocolate machine too.. ;)

The cutest cup with an elephant inside!

And as if the weekend wasn't over yet - this popped up at Stureplan.se today! Still high on laughs from the weekend - hope for a repetition soooon! ;)

Have a great evening!

Love /Å

Sh'Bam and home evening..

Today was meeting with the Nordic SH'BAM trainers all day. FUN! :)

And now I'm sooo enjoying the spontaneous visit of my dear Sara!

We might as well have be joined by the hip.. ;)
Ciao /Å

Spring promenade..

They say stressing is bad so.. ;)

Hat on! /Å

Chocolate love!

Today I finally got to pick up my little cheeky monkey from daycare..


..and then my GFM homie Sara came around (as if we don't spend enough time together at work you'd think ;)) and Ebbe made (sort of by himself) sticky chocolate muffins! Turned out quite alright I'd say. :)


Now a bit of SH'BAM 8 and then sleep!

Night /Å

YOU make it happen..

Sometimes I just want to shout. I want to let everyone know that it's not true. It's not true what you make up in your heads. Not all of you of course. But some. I think maybe the ones of you that might be having a bad day. Going through a rough time. Or whom are just plain hurting. I know. Cause I as well spend my time in that dark place sometimes. 

Like regarding for instance my last blogpost. Yes I had a great summer. Yes I feel blessed. Yes it was unrealistic. Amazing. Mindblowing. But you only get parts of it - of course. Some of my moments that same summer were dark and shitty and negative. What I don't like is when I think people make things bigger than they are. When people use anyone elses highs to put themselves down. I know this doesn't apply on all of you but this blog post is dedicated to all the people who ever think: "I couldn't."

I'm gonna let you in on a secret. It's not true. Not what's in your head. But you have to stop comparing - and start aspiring. How are you ever gonna let yourself experience anything if you keep looking over the fence? And sure, why wouldn't you when FB, Twitter and blogs all over are flooding with success stories and happy faces? But the interpretation is yours to own.

Being a single parent has kind of settled on me now. I feel comfortable being just me. And Ebbe. But is it easy? Compared to before? Hell no. You have to be your own. Totally. Whatever you need, YOU have to make it happen. All by yourself. And I'm not saying you should be too proud to ask for help. Not at all. But everyday life sure will make you "run for the money".

Like the other day. Ebbe and I had been grocery shopping. Not a vast amount but still. And I had four tyres in the car that needs to go down into the cellar. And I live on the fourth floor without a lift. And Ebbe is a bit sick and tired. So what to do? M a k e  i t  h a p p e n.
What's the problem you might think now. And of course there is no problem. I'm grateful I even have a beautiful healthy son, a car that's still working and enough money to provide for me and my son. But in reality it also means that I end up doing the following:
Parking the car as close to my entrance as possible, which today was still about 100 m. And since Ebbe doesn't want to be alone in the car in the dark of course I bring him. If you've ever tried carrying a threeyearold who's half asleep you know they're not really feather weight. Ugh. So imagine with him on one hip carry the tyres one at the time back and forth from the car to the basement and then yet again back to the car to get the groceries up to the apartment - all with the little guy snoring against my sweaty neck. Totally trashed in the end. Nothing special about that sure. But the question is:


Where's the glamour now..?


But that's how we do it. Well most. We put the shiny stuff up front and talk in small letter about the rest. But that's not real. Reality is, as up I'm putting the little one in the bed thinking I'm a bit of a crap mom cause I should really try and brush his teeth before letting him sleep and wondering which is worse:  Disturbing his sleep or letting the tooth decay have its way? Then unpacking all bags of filthy training gear, boiling some eggs to eat, answering the most hurried e-mails/bookings, trying to ignore messages from people hurting me with their words, checking phone to see whom I've unwantedly neglected today and getting back to them with word of apologies for late answer, packing new bags for tomorrow, putting on music in the background to prepare for next days classes, making tea to try and unwind, and when I'm in the bathroom getting ready for bed I sometimes see a surprised look on my face:

Who are you?? The worn, washed out woman looking back at me. Where is the self-tanned, hair-extended, teeth-whitened, smiley trouble free girl I just posted as me on my blog less than 24 hours ago?

And that's what I think people can forget sometimes. That destructive thought of the greener grass at everyone elses. The day you find a painting with no backside? Let me know. Until then - don't put yourself down. There are enough people out there who will try and do it for you. So next time you see someone in the mirror you might not recognize say:

"Hey, you might look like shit today, but I know deep down - you're awesome."

Dare. /Å

Les Mills Pump cardio baby!

So today Fedex had delivered a package outside my door - Les Mills Pump CARDIO programs! Wiiih!!

I'm in all of them except combat but the one I was most anxious to see was the step - where I was teaching the OMG so F***ing hard final track.. P.h.e.w.

But turns out I did good. :) You can follow and hear me clearly and when you get to the end of it you know you're a true workout hero!











And here modifying in Les Mills Core..








Oh lord I long back to last summer. The people, the work, the training, the scripts, the set, the hair, the make up..

THE SHOW.

Love what you do. Do what you love. <3
All you'll ever regret in life is not daring to try.

Thankful /Å
