syrup!

We been out all day, picking the black surrant berries, they are so tasty as syrup and jam.
 Itäs rather theraputic, connecting my radio and picking the berries. One bush at the time. Seeing how it slowly slowly grow inside the bucket.
My child coming with one berry at the time, adding to the bucket.
That is just peace. 

Evening walk

I make one or two longer walks aday. I can really feel it's starting to pay out. I also like the calming and stressfree enviroment i'm in

Stiff

I walked 9981 steps today, hmm one should walk at least 10000 per day. 20 more should be possible to squeeze in. 

will have to see what the gym in my old hometown offers for stuff. You see I am terrible stiff, like really really stiff and I need to get oiled up. 

I need some yoga. The power one, use to do that. It was so much fun. Will have to see if they can have it. As I do not really believe I can manage the home video training. I need someone there, talking to me present. 

But need it, i'm painfully stiff. 

What else can I do, for the stifness, any ideas??

cereals no 2

I got a email asking some more about my musli that I do. 

If I could explain bit more how I do it. 

So sure :)

Here it comes!

 I mix oil, water and some honey, and spread it over some oat. 

I let this roast in the over, in 200 C until they get brownish and crunchy. You can as well add some coco leaf when doing this. 

They get very nice when being roasted in oven for a while. 

When taken out, just add any kind of raisin, nuts and seeds. Cool down

Mix 1.5 cups of corn flour, 1 cup wheat flour, 2 tables spoon oil and water until it's like a dough. 

Bake it thin, thin, as you see the little girl doing. Make sure you have flour underneath it, when you bake it, so it wont stick! 

Bake it in the oven as well, on the same degree as above. 

It takes about 10 min. After half the time, turn it around. 

When cooled down, just break it into small pieces, and you have your corn flakes!

Mix it with the rest of the cereals, and you have your musli!

You can if you want to, add some honey as well in the dough for the corn flakes, but I prefer not to. 

So there you have it! 

Good luck, and enjoy! 

5 Km

I know that it's not a lot my dear friends. I don't care. 

I am proud! I did that today, running 5 km. None stop. Running. 

I did it in the same time, that my first indoor running track. And that was no 5 km. 

I am better. I can do more, and I can go longer. 

I june I would like to do 10 km. That would be so cool. 

I know that I've got many Kg overweight. But for the first time in my entire life, I don't think about it so much. 

This last year, when I've been working out regularly I'm just so comfortable in myself. 

For the first time in my entire life, I don't stress about how I look, what people think about how I look. 

I just feel so good. 

I went to doctor and all my result was good and she told me that she could see that I'm working out and eating well, not just lying in the sofa. 

It makes me feel even better, and even more motivated to just continue this life. 

I feel so good, and you can as well. 

Start work out! 

:D

SUN!

We have sun today. SUN!!

The winter has been terrible long, and as well grey. Normally the sun appears again, after the winter, in the end of February begining of march. 

This year not. My energy and positive thinking was high in the beginning of winter. Knowing that spring sort of is soon back. 

But the more time went, I got bad. No energy to do anything. No ideas what to do with my girl. 

Didn't want to cook, or clean, or sew or anything these last month and half. 

The lack of sun, and cold really started to affect me badly. To a point where my husband really got annoyed, not understanding or believing that the lack of sun, can do this to me. 

So today I woke up to the SUN! BLUE sky!

And wopa the energy is here. I feel like washing the windows, clean out my wardrobes, take my kid to the playground, and out and have a long walk in the park. 

I just can't live with out it. The sun.  

Cereals all done!

I really think, that we all should think about what we eat. 

What we eat, when we eat, how we eat, where the food come from, what's inside the food, how  did it come to my plate, how much good or bad things is it in it. 

We should all question our self this. We have one life, and we should take care of us. 

We have one earth, and we should take care of it. 

As much as people are talking about meditations, and yoga to come to inner peace, I think that we should talk about what we put in us. 

You are what you eat. 

Making your own food, from scratch might take some more time, but not a lot. 

Might not taste as the thing in the store, but that's because often it's added strange chemicals to make it taste. 

My musli and mu bread is two things that I do. All from scratch. 

And yes, it's own made corn flakes inside the musli. 

Easy, fast and it taste as the shop thing. 

40 MIN

40 min of running today. without stopping. 

For me that is cool  

I am cool!

desperate need of SUN

Please someone, just hand it over. 

The sun. 

It has been missing since november last year and we start to be desperate over here. 

Interesting

How the body can be. I went swimming two days ago, and it felt like I was like a fish. Just adding lanes after lanes. Today I went, and it was all just bad. 

It went slow, clumsy and without rhythm. I just felt so tired in the body. 

Interesting, how one can feel tired, after just waking up. And so different in just two days. Or from day to another. 

One day one can be full of energy and the next when waking up one can be totally tired in the body. 

Why?

Well at the moment I'm not tired anymore and just preparing for out house warming party. 

Looking forward!

Forgotten glasses

I went to the pool to have a swim today. And what happened, I of course forgot my glasses. 

But as I already was dressed and ready go jump in, I just did so, jumped in!

So I decided to take the slow chest stokes. Calm and slow. Lovely. Calming, Relaxing. Slowly doing my business. 

As I couldn't do the freestyle, as I usually do and never see anyone I now had a good look at the people there. 

And there they where!

The staress. The ones that don't do anything else but just stare you out. following you crazily with their eyes. 

So there they where. 

Staring. Crazily. 

Me starting to of course little bit freak out. 

I have something weird looking on  me. 

I mean, I know I'm no Jessica Alba but not a weirdo either. 

But they stare so much, this girl and this guy, and it goes so far that I even starts to make freestyle strokes. Need to not see these people. 

But I don't get away from them. And as I almost start sweating of the stress I start feel I decided I needed to redirect my thought of why they stare. 

As in my head I already had that they thought I was a stalker, or that THEY stalked me. That they misstaked me for a girl that had had an affair with the guy. You name it. 

Stress stress stress!

So I decide to start think better. 

Of course they look at me, as they would like to invite me to come with them for some "fun time" 

And for a second I feel cool. Like, " Yes, you know it, people would like to ask you for that, you are so cool"

But lasts only for that one second. Then the panic start again. 

" Oh no, but no I don't want that, I don't feel like that. I have no feeling for that at all. I am married. No no no stop it, stop stare, I don't want that kind of invites. I am one person person."

And then of course I started to freak out over that. And well then I knew it. I couldn't really do anything else then just leave the pool. I just felt to stresses. 

Well I learned that, that the glasses will never be left home again. And if I do, I run and buy some!

Something important

Read this blog post! I think it was a very important one. What do we expose our self for? What do we have around us?

Something important

It's in Swedish, but you can translate it.
Read it!

WAAAAA

I'm tired of this SHIT. Tired tired tired, shit shit shit!!

This night I had trouble sleeping, and why why why????

Because I was lying there, feeling how the head started to ache and fill up. How the nose slowly but surely got clogged and the air  hadmore and more difficult to come in and out. 

THE COLD WAS A FACT. 

And I am freaking tired of it. I had enough! 

GO AWAY!

mu weak point

is apparently my stomach. 

It's not only when out travel I get stomach flue, I get it on the safety of the home as well.

I'm recouping and hoping for better times, when talking about my health!

Stomach flue and moving boxes.

So MOVING is on! We got a flat and now we are moving! Or next Saturday, more exact. I am very excited! Need to start pack directly! Will have better space for my sewing things, and for clients that comes as well. 

Will feel more comfortable for us all! 

So MOVING BOXES are very needed. That's for sure. Something very funny, it looks like I will be neighbor with my knitting teacher/  companion. So fun! Just like that, huh. 

So just need to get better with my stomach, as I've got something bad in it, and it hurts and it's aching and I feel like I need to vomit, just about any second. 

Now you all think, "well she is pregnant, no?" 

I can tell you all, that it's not a pregnancy we're talking about  here. I'm 100 sure of that, so no need to speculate. 

But rather annoying, and I need to do things, and I just have no energy, as I don't want to eat, as I then feel sick. 

I slept from 10 PM to 11.30 am today, my husband had to stay home in the morning, as I felt so bad I couldn't step out of bed. 

But a doctor called me now, and have an appointment to go and have myself checked out. 

waking up

I've always thought that I am a night person. That I like to be up at night, and that I work very good at night. That the night is my time. 

But you know what, I have noticed that it's not really true. 

I've noticed that they days that I start early to get things done, I get the most done. I get tons done. I work so fast, and so good. 

I've realized that I work so much better in the morning, early afternoon then in the night. 

I'm so much more focused, I'm thinking better and clearer and I am faster. The days I sew during the morning and day I get soooo much more done then the evenings workshops. 

I'm still very surprised about it, as I've thought of me as an evening worker. I thought that about myself, as long as I can remember. 

The only problem I have though, and maybe because of that my thoughts that I don't work well in mornings, I can't wake up really early. 

Before our child it was almost impossible to wake up, weekends was spend in bed. Or at least until 4 pm or so. 

Today I get up, and kinda early but I would like it to be at 6 am. 

I would love to wake up at 6 am, go run, come home, make breakfast and start the days work. 

So please you out there. 

How do I do it, how will I manage to get up at 6 am. How do you do it?

never ending story

My negative feelings regarding antibiotics starting to crack. 

After one month of bad feeling, sickness and coughing I'm starting to think that visit a doctor and get that is the only solution, 

I have barley done anything of sewing och cooking or just being the last month, so it's starting to take it's toll on me. 

Doing good!

Very blury, as I was trying to take a picture at the same time as cycling, just to show that it is REAL. 

Wops

I say, because I was hit by a cold. But a cold stronger then anything. I've been hit to the ground and couldn't do anything. With aching head, running nose and red burning eyes. 

Wopsi, how it can go. 

Today was the first proper day I was outside since thursday. One week, one week has I been inside the house, not just me but my kiddo as well. 

Poor us... 

So I went out today, went shopping shopping shopping. 

Fun fun fun! 

No pain no gain.

Sewing has been almost impossible today, all I wanted to do was to lie in bed and sleeeeep sleeeep and sleeeeeep. 

I'm really sick, it feels like my head are two sized bigger then usual. 

I'm coughing and the nose are running. 

But well, I don't have much choice, no one is sewing for me. 

That's the choice I've taken I truly understood today, it doesn't matter how I feel or that I don't want to do it, it just has to be done. 

I also have a little girl that needs me, needs food and comfort so even if I had no work I would still be working. 

Somewhere I di know that's good. That the walk that I made today, I wouldn't probably do if she wasn't here, and I didn't feel like doing it but after I felt little bit better. 

But ough I longing for the bed.
