  • Sundays are exercise

    I like Sundays. A day off. And I often spend it doing different forms of exercise. I have a favorite walk I often go. I am really surprised because I have to put about 2 and a half hour to fulfill the course. Thirteen kilometers. I often stop. Finding something nice to have a picture of. I have started to walk a little faster, to keep my pulse going. Power walk. I am happy when I have a pulse of 130. This afternoon I will go for cycling and stretch.

    To be honest, I have been very lazy not doing home cooking. I have started again. It is so easy to have a little something instead of having proper food. Today, a little inspired by French cooking; tomatoes, basilica, garlic, onion etc. With fresh meat.

    Since I live alone I have realized that I need help to have my photo. The picture above is from this mornings walk, close to “Nordiska museet”.

     

  • The urge of having chocolate

    Chocolate is really my weakness. It has always been. Just a little tiny piece of chocolate. Not much, but good chocolate. I prefere to have it alone. In piece and quiet. A chocolate moment. I suppose it is a female thing. I have tried to live without chocolate but that is impossible. So that means I have to do more exercise. To get rid of the calories. Life in balance.

    Yes, it really is an urge sometimes. A huge craving that is immense. Women´s secret to not be relieved.

  • Wednesday

    I got surprised this morning. It was a little darker than usual. Immediately I thought about winter. Chilly, ice, snow, gloves, more ice, warm clothes etc. I really enjoy that it is still rather warm. But this morning made me remember what´s ahead. I both like and do not like winter. It is wonderful when there is snow. Skiing. Then the darkness is easier to endure. I don´t like when it it is so dark outside. Anyway, that is life.

    So, just to accept. Time will fall back in a while. Candles and tea autumn. Cosy times.

     

     

     

     

  • A sunny Sunday

    Today I am thinking of personal leadership. How to lead yourself throughout life. Life is not so predictable. But sometimes it is. My life is very much on routine right now. Routines are good. A lot of exercise. Yes, exercise is very good. Soon I am on cycling again with following stretch. Stretch is rather boring but you have to do stretching because of preventing injuries.

    Today I have been doing rather dull things like paying bills, washing etc. But it feels great to have it done. Good to start Monday fresh.

    I am working on my book. I have collected photos for my poetry and the book. A lot of things are woven into my work. I have put so many hours of work and I don´t like the feeling of having that stolen. This website is in a way connected to what I have written. In a way creative. Make things cross over.

    I love my book. And my poetry. A life work.

     

  • Favorite hobby

    My favorite hobby is exercice. It takes a lot of time and also planning. I get so happy. Makes me smile. But also, sometimes, it is painful. I am dedicating a lot of time to cycling. Just to avoid injuries. However, and contradictory, I have a little injury in my knee due to not having my knee in right position when cycling. Now I am more careful. Moreover, I measure my pulse and physiology is fascinating. The pulse is a very good measure to reflect physiology. And not to forget, a lot of stretch.

    To stay in good shape it is also important to eat right. That is a challenge. I like food. I like to cook good food. But I am also lazy. So I do both. Eat out and also have my own kitchen. I have a very bad habit. I like sweets after having a meal. Today I searched for chocolate. For hours. Finally I ended up with delicious, a lot of cacao chocolate. Satisfied.

    Kitchen. I made something very easy. Ham and cheese pie. Spicy cheese. Västerbotten ost. From north part of Sweden. A day passes rapidly. Soon sleep. Also recovery. Sleep is very important.
