Getting focused
For a long time now I have been very unhappy about my health. I put on quite a bit of weight when I moved here. Nothing like a cold dark winter to help you sit in front of a fire place and enjoy the comforts of food. Anyway, I am rather pissed off with the extra bit that I am carrying with me, so it´s time get focused and that is just what I have been doing the last two weeks. I´m not on a diet, I hate that word. I am changing my lifestyle. I eat healthier foods, I do not starve myself, I make sure that when I prepare a meal it looks inviting, lots of colors and a mixture of different veggies to make it so yummy. I do induldge in bad foods here and there, but all in moderation. If I feel hungry but I have already eaten, instead of heading to the biscuit and chip cupboard (that belongs to Daniel), I make a fruit smoothie, with muesli, chopped fruits and yoghurt. If I need something sweet, I add a bit of honey. It´s divine I tell you.
I´ve themed my year, I have no idea if people do this or not, but I need to keep focused and work on certain things in my life. My theme for 2008 is all about love and health. So a lot of what I will be writing about is spreading love, being in love and finding love. It´s not just about love between my husband and I, but love for family and friends too. Cos I have a lot of love to give!
I´ve started exercising today. We bought bicycles a little while ago and with all the wonderful rain we´ve had there hasn´t been time to try them out. When we went to go get my bike, the guy we bought it from told me to take it for a little spin. RIGHT! In the middle of Malmö, I have not ridden a bike for at least 25 years. But I was up for the challenge. My heart was beating so hard, I was afraid of making a poop of myself. I put the bike between my legs, tried ot hop on but the seat was too high. So the seller lowered it for me. Okay, so I was straddling the bike again and I couldn´t get lift off, I was shaking so much my legs felt like jelly! But then my hero came to my rescue and held the seat of bike and ran down the road with me so I could get a feel for the bike. We paid the seller, loaded the bike and today is the first time that I have actually riden. I´m still not as confident as I should be, but by Wednesday, it´ll be like I have been riding a bike all my life.
Had a refreshing walk after my cycle, where I discovered that spring flowers are busy coming up. I will take my camera out tomorrow so I can show you the evidence.
Oh yes, before I forget, I have another interview on Tuesday.
