Style. Lunchwalking

2012-02-17T11:18:00.001+01:00

Friday again - where does the weeks fly away? In one way I like that the time goes fast because that means that the summer will come soon, but on the other hand I do not like it because I want more time to do fun things at. Anyway, now it is almost lunchtime which also means lunchwalk and today the destination is Arlanda SkyCity. Not for flying to a warm place but to pick up one of my birthday gifts. What can it be?

Event. Prosa & Marmelad

When I moved from Norway I also moved out from the SWEA bookclubb - but now I am in a new book and event club, Prosa & Marmelad. As sweet as it sounds. The task is to read a brand new book, meet and mingle while at various publishers. Today we had the homework to read the american writer Lauren Oliver's book Resten får du ta reda på själv. I started a little bit late so could not finish every page but I liked it. If I would have been in the younger target group I would have loved the story about love, drama and real life events described in an exceptional way. Alongside with the behind the book knowledge we got, we also had the famous writer Lina Forss at our table to booktalk with. A more than average nice Thursday I would say and I strongly recomend everyone to join a bookclubb, because it is so much more than just a book and an activity that feels very 2012.

Eats. Bookclubbing

2012-02-16T20:45:00.001+01:00

Tonight I have been on a bookclubbing event. A very sweet event all the way from the handmade macaroons and super fresh leaven bread by Den franske bagaren that became my dinner for tonight to the event itself that I will tell you more about in the event report that follows. But the macaroons was very worth the 1 point for sugar in the twitter sugargame (#sockermatch2012).

Style. Streetstyle

2012-02-16T10:14:00.002+01:00

This is not the new Stockholm streetstyle blog, but I could not not take a iPhoto when I saw a guy in a pair of overshoes this morning. It might be a good shoe protector, but does it look good? No. Especially not orange ones even though it is trendy it is a big no no in my world. What's your opinion about overshoes?

Thoughts. Not thinking

2012-02-15T21:46:00.001+01:00

What is wrong? the first thing are the skisocks that are covering my feets. The second thing is that the left sock is on the right feet and v.v. That illustrates what I have been thinking about this evening. Nothing. I have just been out for a a snowjogg, thinking about nothing. No worldproblem solving, issues, planning or anything else. Just nothing. That is very unusual when I go running. But after a while feeling like a five year old running around in the snow slush I came to destination SATS. There I went for a BodyBalance class and thought about nothing. So now I think it is time to go to sleep soon and think about nothing.

Note to the coach: 10 km running and BodyBalance.

Eats. Real newspaper

2012-02-15T17:09:00.002+01:00

Normally I do not have a real newspaper to flip through when I wake up. But there are always buts and this but have involved my morning routine. For the last week I have had the luxuary to read the local news, VLT, of my hometown, Västerås since I took care of my parents paper while they have been on vacation. Tomorrow I have they are back and my morningread gone. To bad. But one lucky thing in the bad thing is that they often go on vacations so in a couple of weeks I will get the news the oldschool way again!

Style. Closet shopping

2012-02-15T06:56:00.000+01:00

You guys, have a nice Wednesday. I promise to get a top one in my outfit of the day that I found when I was shopping in my own closet this morning. I know that I have a little bit to much clothes but still I wear like 10% of it regulary. Waste of resources some would say, but sponsoring the world economy I would say. The treasure I found today was an H&M top that I got back in the days but not even removed the tags from since I thought it was uncomfortable, but guess what it is actually comfortable so the outlooks that I will survive the whole workingday in it is pretty good.

Training. New SATS

2012-02-14T21:37:00.002+01:00

SATS Spårvagnshallarna. A magic kingdom for all us training lovers. I celebrated valentines day with a visit and my belowed combat class. Do I need to say that I loved it and easily made my Tuesday to a winner in the #besttuesdaywins competition. If I had not had my rockstar crib to live in I would not have thinked more than a milli second before I would have moved into the place. That nice it is and it feels like a piece of New York in Stockholm.

Note to the coach: An hour of BodyCombat

Eats. Good morning

2012-02-14T21:16:00.000+01:00

Yes, I had a good morning because I had a good breakfast. One yummi Yoggi dream and one of the breads that I baked some days ago. A standard breakfast in my High Carb Low Fat life. I mean LCHF feels so 2011, don't you think?

Style. Valentines day

2012-02-14T06:19:00.000+01:00

Happy Valentines day followers and friends! Have a good one with your loved ones and don't forget to eat to many Aroma red jelly hearts although the sugargame is still on (#sockermatch2012). It can be worth 1 point.

Activity. Powerwalking

2012-02-13T21:54:00.002+01:00

Stockholm is not New York, Boca, Singapore, Paris or Hong Kong but it is still quite nice. I just came back on what came to be a long but useful powerwalk with my iPhone. I took the standardroute 1B that I could walk almost blind through Norr Mälarstrand over Västerbron and back on Söder Mälarstrand while I checked my emails, facebooked, twittered, texted and played Wordfeud. I thought about the era before iPhone. How inefficient it must have been to sit inside doing the same things that now is possible to combine with a nice and useful outdoor activity. It would be hard getting back to the old school way of living.

Note to the coach: 90 minutes powerwalk.

Eats. Breakfast love

2012-02-13T18:10:00.000+01:00

The breakfast blogg serie has a potential to be back this week, not in fabulous Frukostera style but with breakfast style. When I still lived in the pink house in Västerås I sometimes got the deluxe meal rosehipsoup with keso topping. Some weeks ago I felt nostagic and ate it for breakfast. Today I did it again. Yummi as usual and so much more tasteful than Coke ever will be, although the story from the latest issue of Civilekonomen about the daily life as a marketing manager at the worlds most recognized brand was interesting to wake up to.

Style. Know how

2012-02-13T17:15:00.000+01:00

How has your Monday the 13 of Feburary been? I have been back on the school bench today. Not for learning about fiscal policies, leadership theories or Porters five forces as in the old days, but about aircrafts and how they are built. A very interesting subject. Especially the part about the wings and the flaps that change position during takeoff and landing since they always have fashinated me. Also the landinggear and breaks belongs to my favourite want to know about topics. I know it is a very high nerd factor, but that I can live with. It is much worse to not know about things that is nice to know. And that part I cannot live with. Knowledge is power!

Work. Working to 75!

2012-02-12T20:12:00.002+01:00

One of my new years resolutions was to not read the newspaper Aftonbladet (AB). I have not cheated any day, simply because I do not like the news and before I read it only because it is so easy to type in aftonbladet.se without thinking when going online. Although I am not reading AB I never stop getting surprised by how wrong media can communicate any statement in order to sell more. In lack of news this weeks hot topic became to be our primeminister Fredrik Reinfeldt. His declaration that if we should keep the same standard of living in the future we also need to work longer, i.e to the age of 75, since the population gets older. This the media interpreted as that the whole labourforce should have to work until the age of 75. As it is right now the maximum leagal workingage is 67 years. And seriously, why should not people that like to, can and will do get allowed to work? I do not get it, if I am in good health upon retirement age I would bore out in one day or two of having to much sparetime although I could travel as much as I wanted.

Eats. Fresh baked

2012-02-12T19:40:00.002+01:00

One hour ago I came home from ICA. I was by far there by myself and both of the two kinds of bread that are eatable in the store was out of stock so of course I got a brilliant idea. Baking. Now, one hour later I have many nice minibreads in my kitchen waiting to be eaten. Really nice!

Style. Sunday and runday

2012-02-12T12:03:00.001+01:00

Happy as a kid after a birthday party explains my mode right now. I have been running again friends. Running. The blogjogging chapters is back. It was not one, two or three kilometers that I counted in on my Nikesportswatch, it was 15 bittersweet ones. Not optimal runningconditions though. The streets were covered with tons of brown and nasty snowslush and I was extremely happy that I had my Asics to move forward with and not a wheel chair. Because the street condition right now in Stockholm is under all critique.

Note to the coach: 15 km of running around Karlberg, Sundbyberg, Solna and Hagaparken.

Training. Combat kitted

2012-02-11T14:30:00.000+01:00

My fot is really back to the old track now. I have not used any centimeter of tape in a whole week and my coughing is slowely getting better so next week I hope it will be a really good training week again. At todays combat I thought the Nikie way and made every single move count all the way from my new Nike free's, to the sidekicks, squats. uppercuts and jabs. Every single move. And as you can see on the very fashionable photo I had a multibranded outfit with training power from Nike, Adidas, Casall and Gococo.

Note to the coach: BodyCombat and 30 minutes gym.

Eats. Yoggilunch

2012-02-11T14:12:00.001+01:00

Guess what? my keso box had runned away from my fridge when I needed it which was not good. When I came home after a class of a BodyCombat mix between release 50/51 and a while at the gym I really wanted my signature dish keghurt to recover with. And since I did not felt for visiting the store I was putting plan B into place. Eat something from at home, so today my superspacy lunch became yoggi with müsli mix and of course a green apple.

Style. Girl model

I got recommended to watch the documentary "Girl model" at Svt play and so I just did. Docementaries about the real world are easily my favorite TV choice. This was a very interesting story from behind the scenes in the model industry. If you have an hour and a little bit more over, watch it. Otherwise, watch it anyway becuase it is worth seeing.

Weekend. Plan X

2012-02-10T20:06:00.004+01:00

Until today I have never ever had any problems reaching point B on time with traveling with an aircraft. Never. Although I have travelled more than what a lot of people do during their lifetime and have written about four handfull stories of what seems to be impossible ways to get to the destination on time I have always made it. Always. But not anymore. Today I experienced my first cancelled flight. A canceled flight happens sometimes, but this was the first time it happened for me. And there were no alternative ways to get to Amsterdam either. A big fat Friday fail I would say, meaning no Amsterdam weekend. So I think you can guess who was in a more than bad mode when I left Arlanda today. But shit happens. So when I got home again in a horrible mode it took me five seconds to realize that Sparkibaken had her spinning and core classes at SATS Zenit 20 minutes later, so guess what I did - went there of course and got in a better mode. Training is a really nice solution in many, many ways! Never forget that friends!

Note to the coach: 30 minutes spinning and 30 minutes core.

Eats. Chicken in a box

2012-02-10T19:43:00.002+01:00

Not bag in box, chicken in box. That illustrates my advanced lunchbox of the day. Take Kronfågel chicken, which is the Friday must eat according to the commercials and topp with some fresh favourites like broccoli and cherry tomatoes then what do you get? chicken in a lunchbox!

Style. Springsneakers

2012-02-10T19:24:00.000+01:00

I start off with showing a pair of unbelivable nice sneakers from Adidas that I found at Stadium a while ago. Striped, red and blue, not Converse but supercool. Maybe, maybe I should adopt a pair. Not because I need them, but because they are to nice to not have.

Travel. Holland weekend

2012-02-09T22:53:00.002+01:00

Thursday night and I am back to an old routine again. Packing my Samsonite bag, which now is a Carlton one but anyway, same same but different. Tomorrow when the office hours are completed it is finally time for me to go to Holland for a weekend trip. I am superexcited about the trip but not the fact that my suitcase is still empty and I would in an ideal world been laying down in the horizontal position by now.

Eats. Orange

2012-02-09T22:10:00.000+01:00

Everyone who knows me a little bit knew that I am an addict to Granny Smiths green apples from ICA. The very best fruit in the world. But now during my coughing days I have changed my routine a little bit and had some slizes of orange together with my breakfast müsli meal. I have no proof but I hope it helped a bit to get back on track again because on todays Bodypump class I felt like a living vitamin. A living, but weak though.

Style. New read

2012-02-09T21:53:00.000+01:00

(Bonniercarlsen.se)

I have not read any book in about two weeks time, but now I have one upcoming read at my table. The American Lauren Olivers book "Resten får du ta reda på själv" is my next page flipper. Anyone who have read it?
