Went down to the beach for a walk earlier. Lovely sunshine and a fozen sea made a beautiful sight. Came home just in time for afternoon snack consisting of yoghurt, cottage cheese, blueberries, almonds and kiwi fruit and a cup of coffee. Perfect!
Fruset och vackert nere på stranden idag! Gott mellanmål efter promenaden bestående av yoghurt, keso, blåbär, mandel och kiwi. Och en kopp kaffe såklart. Perfektion!

I want a fashion blog, I want a cooking/exercise blog, I want a photography blog. Hmmm, all in one? Or three differetn ones. There is too much inspiration out there :-)
Anyway, cooked this lovely dinner tonight. I realised I had already posted this recipe before, right
here <-- click!
This time I used a variety of beans rather than just large white ones, but otherwise it's exactly the same. I'm longing for brighter and longer days, to make my photography more interesting again. Dark rooms do not make food look the most appealing on photos (geez, many "o"s in that sentence!).
Jag vill ha typ alla slags bloggar, får så mycket inspiration när jag surfar runt, men man kan väl bara ha en slags blogg, eller? Lagade denna fantastiska kycklingrätt ikväll och längtar efter längre och ljusare dagar. Mörka rum får god mat att se väldigt tråkig ut på foto!

Sunday morning displayed sunshine and a beautiful frosty garden for my camera to immortalise. We stayed over at dad's from Saturday and I think my poor tummy is still trying to digest all the food! I've had a bad tummy ache all day. Hopefully it will pass soon.
Went into town for a coffee with a friend after work, and then came home to cook a lovely meal. I'll post the recipe here later tonight! I'm aching to start packing for Friday, I think I might give it a small cheaky start tonight! ;-)

My body is full of happy endorphins at the moment! I met mum by the gym at 12 lunch time, we went for a 15 minute walk around the block because the sun is shining and it's lovely outside. After that we went into the gym and I did 10 minute warm up on the treadmill at a slow pace of 8 km/hour. Then I did several exercises for legs, bum and abs, including squats, squat holds (4x30 seconds), lunges and russian twists, plank and regular sit ups. Finished of the session with a 12 minute intervall session on the treadmill with alternating 60 seconds of a pace at 9 km/hour and 40 seconds of 12 km/hour. Felt really good! Cycling home and can conclude that I've been physically active for about 2 hours, awesome!
Now: shower, dress and off out for chinese with dad and his wife, her son and my sister+boyfriend. Hope you all have an equally nice Saturday! :)

This week has really passed by really quickly! I've been really productive and managed all my tasks well and also been to an interview. I've done one 5 km run, 1 session at the gym and 1 yoga session. Tomorrow I will be running again, I got encouraged by the fact that I could do 5 km the other day. Maybe I can do 6 tomorrow? ;)
Anyway, I will clean the flat now, quite thoroughly and then I really feel like I deserve this weekend!
Veckan har gått fort och jag har hunnit med att vara riktigt produktiv! Blev uppmuntrad av min egna prestation att springa 5 km häromdagen, så ska utmana mig imorgon med! Nu blir det att städa lägenheten, sedan känner jag att jag verkligen förtjänat denna helg! :)

Good morning! Off to work in a moment, but first I need to do some uni-work as I was lazy last night and couldn't be bothered. I need to work hard at doing everything on time at the moment though. If I get this job (will get an answer next week), I will be pretty busy for about 3 months. It will be worth it, because turning an opportunity like this down would be silly. Anyway! I'll be around later today, so see you then!

This is me 8 years ago. I was 18 and I was in Thailand. It was my second trip longer than a neighbouring country (first one was to Rome). We were only in Thailand for 1 week, it was pretty intense, but I am happy and grateful over the fact that we didn't go to Phuket or Krabi, or something similar. We went to north Thailand (near Chiang Rai), to a small village. I got to "know" a Thai family and see their way of life. I got to eat proper home cooked thai food, and experience every day life in a small countryside village. That was really nice. We also spent a couple of days in Bangkok. Instense!
It's nice to look back at old photos and bring back old memories to life! I was so different back then, and it's nice to realise how much a person can change and develop over the course of nearly 10 years.

I can't wait to enjoy some warmer weather. Only two weeks until we're there! Eek! The weather is very dull at the moment. Just a few plus degrees and wet and grey outside. Boring. I need sunshine, and warmth. To me, February is the most boring month, because all you want is for winter to be over, but you know it's not going to be over until mid-april. Blah. At least we get a nice February this year, with a sunny trip and then nice company from England afterwards. Yay! :)
Now I have to edit the filmed counselling session I did today, so that I can send it to my coursemates!

Had a slightly shorter day at work experience today, and also got a phone call about the maternity leave vacancy I've applied for. Going for an interview on Wednesday. Fingers crossed! Now I need to do some uni work. I want to work out but I'm not sure what I want to do and where....
Fick sluta tidigt idag, och fick även ett telefonsamtal om jobbintervju på onsdag. Håll tummarna! Nu måste jag fixa lite uppgifter till högskolan, sen får vi se om jag tar och tränar eller inte...

Was over at my friend's for her brithday dinner party last night. She has a really good eye for decorating tables etc, you can just see for yourself how awesome it looked :-) The food tasted brilliant and after a few hours of a good time, we headed home at around midnight.
Firade en kompis födelsedag igår och hon har som ni kan se en riktigt bra smak när det kommer till inredning och bordsdekorationer! Maten smakade underbart och efter några timmars trevligt sällskap bar det av hemåt igen runt midnat. En helt perfekt lördagskväll!

Finally Friday! Work week is done, flat is clean and tidy and I'm about to cook some nice dinner for the two of us. I feel like doing something this evening but not quite sure what. I had planned to go to the gym and do cross fit today, like last week, but my shoulders/shoulder blades are still sore from last week! 7 days, and I'm still hurting! So I figured it's better to rest from cross fit, and I will go to the gym and do my own workout tomorrow morning.
It's really, really cold today and I've been hungry basically all day too, so I think I will run into the kitchen now and prepare mince meat and bulgur casserole! Nom nom!

Went dancing at the gym this evening with mum and loaded up with some energy with a bowl of blood orange, mango, cottage cheese topped with some raisins and nuts. Dancing was fun, but not a very hard workout. I am planning to go to the gym tomorrow and do some leg, stomach and back strength.
Otherwise? Been writing my cover letter for a career counselor vacancy and need to plan the group counseling session I will have on Thursday. Tomorrow is a long day, so I don't think I will want to do it then, but we will see...
Laddade upp inför Zumban med keso, blodapelson och mango. Dansen var kul, men blev inte så svett. Planerar ett gymbesök imorgon, med fokus på ben, mage och ryggstyrka. I övrigt har jag skrivit mitt personliga brev för en SYV tjänst och bör planera ett gruppvägledningspass jag ska ha på torsdag...Vi får se hur det blir med det :)

Had my sis over this evening, took some photos, talked and read photo blogs. It was nice to spend some time with her :-) Starting to feel a little tired, so I might just jump in my PJ's and go to bed. Hope you all had a lovely day and I'll try to be a little better at blogging soon again!
