I’m one of them

Not in, say… a million years. I thought I’d be one. One of them. I actually used to loath them somewhat. Those people. The people who are done with their exercise before 7.00 am . But now I am. One of those who are standing “ready to go” (here I’m slightly exaggerating) at 5.50 am….

The joy of a painless tricep dip

I’ve always been active. Never with the intent to become the best in anything, just better and to be active. There were some years when the kids where smaller and when I didn’t prioritize movement. But I jogged/lumbered 3- 4 km a couple of times a week. This was the time when I did first…

No pressure

This post is filled with exorbitant amounts of bragging over kids (my own), don’t read if you have a tendency to regurgitate. It’s amazing how someone can become full supporter (and expert I might add) of a sport she previously had no real interest of. Love does amazing things. Today, both our sons won their…

Soccer, soccer, soccer

I’ve played one game. It all came back to me a couple of weeks ago when I returned to the crime scene with Fabian. This week it has been soccer Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I enjoy it though. Especially if I bring my camera. But sometimes it gets so exciting that I forget to take…

Right direction

I claim I’m going in the right direction when my PT brings a vest with 10 kg extra for me to wear during my session. BOOM! It also brings some secret service feel, which in turn brings some extraordinare glamour to my life, something I appreciate. With the result to be absolutely exhausted. Struggeling to keep my arms…

Progress

Since September I’m back with my FABULOUS PT Jessica. I missed both her and what the result of her rehab (shoulder that’s been bothering me for years) and training did to me, my body and my mind. When I started this spring I got totally silent after say 15 minutes into the session. After that…

Path to happiness

There are several paths to happiness. One is through food and at lunchtime it’s called omelett. OMG! Soon 42 years old and I haven’t gotten it until now. I have always, since I was a child hated eggs. I watched with fascination my father eating his boiled breakfast egg. He beheaded it with his butter knife and it…

I love yoga

After 4 (!) years, I finally made it. Tonight was the night I could complete a Eka hasta bhujasana (or a version of it). I have never even been close to making it and to tell you the truth there wasn’t much motivation in me to make it today either. But by golly I made it!…

Awakening

It has been a while. A little more than a week since the upcoming presence of Jessica (my PT) raised my anxiety during the morning walk with the dog. But today she was here again and it was up for some more moves in the garden. I was close to tears when she cheered me…

The best thing ever

Is of course my husband and kiddos. But shortly behind family comes, at the moment, Jessica. Jessica is a (my) personal trainer who (can) comes to your home and make you train. If/When necessary she could probably pull you by your hair from the couch (no extra charge). For two years I’ve been a blob. I just…

And the fab ones afterwards

When my fantastic PT (Jessica at Pure Living) has left, it is the best of minutes. I am tired like a graveyard, but feel fab. And realize how weak my upper body is, it is amazing that I can walk upright.

The trembling minutes

Before my PT arrives is just filled will agony and anxiety. I know it is going to be tough and I just want to get it over and done with… It actually looks a little like this (me doing all of below movements at the same time):
