A better me

It’s hard to run

emmia — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:38:57 +0000

Yesterday I took up the running again. It was tough and my brain remembered how high intensity I used to be at but my body just screamed “no mooore pleaaase”. But I kept going and after 40 minutes it was great You got to stay positive! —->

I use nike+ ipod to monitor my runs, it’s awesome and the shoes have a wonderful support for my feet!
It’s so inspiring to see my progress and stats on my runs! Have a look!

My 2009 in running

(Click the image) I’m getting back on that horse again!
By the way, if anyone knows why my nike+ account never seems to count my calorie burn I’d be grateful to know!

Let’s do some measuring

emmia — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 09:52:06 +0000

Arm: 32 cm (0)
Chest: 101 cm (-3)
Waist: 80 cm (-2)
Stomach: 103 cm (-1)
Bum: 107,5 cm (-1,5)
Thighs: 60 cm (-1)
Calf: 35,5 cm (-0,5)
Weight: 71,7 kg (-1 kg)

I am pretty satisfied. I know some measurements will increase when I start jogging like before because I’ll be building muscles. After lunch I’ll be going out in the sun to do some light jogging to get me going. What are you doing today?

Day 9 – snowmobile on Gotland

emmia — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:49:52 +0000

Obviously there is less of a chance to catch a snowmobile on Gotland since almost no one owns one. But I come from the north, I was 3 years when I got my first snowmobile

I looked something like this:

So I guess it’s natural for me to think “aww, tracks from a snowmobile” when walking past this in Almedalen here on Gotland (to the right in the pic)

It’s actually just some kids riding their snowracers, but it made me miss home.

It was a nice walk though! Yesterday we made dinner together with Johan and trained for this weekends “popgiss”, a music rock competition, I’m sure we’ll win

Day 8 – Fridge Challenge and walkabout

emmia — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:45:54 +0000

It’s sunny outside, hopefully that means the spring is here! I went for a walk with my boyfriend Magnus and we passed by this big summer resort that is newly built,

it’s abandoned during the winter but I just fell in love with it’s big communal area. THIS is what I want my house to look like!

I also dared Magnus to a challenge last wednesday. The dare is that we are only to use food we have at home already to survive for 1 week. The reason is this:

The fridge and the cabinet is sooo full, and yet we keep buying new food and tossing the old out! It’s so wasteful. We’ve got only today and tomorrow left of this mini challenge and it’s actually been fun! You should try it if your cabinets looks like these.

I sneaked a peek at my measurements and my weight this morning and let me just say the progress is awesome! I’ll let you know soon

Day 4 – Make over

Ok, I admit I miss the summer, being able to just put on my running shoes and go for a round. This is what my feet looked like before I bought my new Nike+ shoes, painfully aware now of how big of a difference it is to have REAL running shoes. Invest in a pair!

Yesterday I went to the gym for 1 hour, and today my legs feel like they could fall off! (but it kind of feels nice to experience the difference)

I’ve also done a make over of this site! Hope you like it.

Day 3 – Smoothie lunch!

emmia — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 11:52:56 +0000

By now the breakfast time is probably wedged in your brain as the most important meal of the day! And don’t get me wrong, it is ONE of the most important. Many of us eat a very healthy breakfast just to spoil it all by throwing some fastfood in at lunch.

Here´s what you can do –>

Mix this:
2 dl Yoghurt
1 dl Milk
1-2 dl Blueberries
1 banana
Bread optional

YUM!!

Day 2 – new outfit

emmia — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:01:41 +0000

I went to the gym yesterday. It was sooo hard. My brain remembered how much I used to push myself but my body said no! It was like an epic battle between body and mind

After some rowing, running and lifting weights I realized my black pants were actually grey and I had a hole in them! So today I bought new ones –>

What exercise have you done today?

2010. Day 1

emmia — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:34:53 +0000

I realized I needed to take up the blogging again just to push myself out in the tracks to make a difference on my body. I also took the decision to write in english! As I’ve told you all before this blog was and stil is a fitness blog. I want to share my goals and expectations with you, I want to give and recieve tips about training and food.It’s not suppose to be hardcore but it’s also not ment to be easy to get fit! So come on, let’s hit the gym/road/dancingstudio/etc together!

Jag har insett att jag måste ta upp bloggande igen för att pusha mig själv ut i spåret för att göra någon skillnad på min fysik. Jag tog också beslutet att skriva på engelska! Som jag berättat förut så handlade och handlar fortfarande om fitnss. Jag vill dela mina mål och förväntningar med er, jag vill ge och ta emot tips om träning och mat. Det är inte meningen att det ska vara hardcore för att bli vältränad men det är inte heller meningen att det ska vara lätt! Så kom igen, nu jävlar går vi till gymmet/ut i spåret/till dansstudion/osv tillsammans!
