A blog of a 40+ year old german "girl" about sports and having kids and other super exciting happenings in my life <3
*Book Spoilers about “Me before you” and “You had me at hello”
The last two weeks I read three books about girls in their early 30s who are single or just broke up.
Just thought it was an interesting coincidence…
Visited my sister yesterday to get a look of my new niece, Emmy.
She slept the whole time on my sister’s chest and didn’t open her eyes once. Today, it seems, she is more active because I had this photo in my email box a few minutes ago.
After the visit to my sister the Lover and I went to buy a new cross-country ski set. Too bad there’s no snow at all here, I’m nosy to know when that will come.
Haven’t been in the gym in so long. Monday was the last time. Spent NYE in Austria and first got back Thursday night. I’m planning on going tomorrow morning/noon though. Can’t hardly wait 🙂

December is such a busy month this year, I’m having one busy week infront of me and then it’s vacation time! Oh yeah!
It’s freezing cold and this morning (as well as yesterday) it was -2°C. It snowed last night here and the snow is still on the ground – yay! The breaks of my bike are frozen so tomorrow I’ll walk again, which means I need to leave the apartment earlier which means I need to get up earlier – boo. Oh well, SNOOWWW 🙂
But I enjoyed it lots 🙂
My first weight trainingsplan goes from November 1st to December 12th 2013. I slowly, slowly increase on weight, yet I have to keep in mind that 15 repetitions is quite a lot! My trainer knows I want to gain muscle so I hope my next plans will slowly go from less weight / more repetitions to more weight / less repetitions.
Currently (I still do the strength circuit as well):
It’s been 6 months since I joined the gym – wow! I’m happy to say that I’ve been to the gym very regularly. October was the only month I didn’t go a lot due to business-projects and not being in town, but other than that there are hardly any gaps. My gym days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and either Saturday or Sunday (or both, if I don’t go on Friday).
There’s one big problem I’m facing though – I eat a bunch of sweets every evening. I, as a certified nutritionist, should know a lot better. I do know, I just can’t resist. I know I shouldn’t even buy that crap. I don’t know for how longs it’s been going (my sugar addiction) but I’m guessing since September. I buy too much sweets and can’t stop eating them, which means an additional 500-1000 calories (whoa!!) every evening through sweets. 🙁
It’s amazing I only have 17% body-fat, I can’t even imagine that the machine is right… My belly, if I don’t flex it after I have eaten, looks like I’m pregnant. It’s a big ball. Also in the mornings it’s a little too big for my taste, and I blame the sweets.
Ok, so, my next goal is to get those sweets out of my daily life. I eat healthy every day so I’m annoying myself that after the gym, after the shower, after dinner, on the couch, I walk into the kitchen and look for which yummy sweets I can eat. And it’s not only one piece of chocolate, no, it’s the whole bar of chocolate! Sigh, this will be hard…
Tuesdays I have one hour of TRX.
It already happened to me once that I go to TRX and noticed – damn, I forgot to shave my armpits!!
It’s not like I have a big bush, but I tend to let it grow a bit before I shave because my skin is way too sensitive there and I will bleed and get pimples and be all red if I shave every day.
So anyway, today was one of those days. I wanted to shave yesterday evening after my shower and forgot. Today at work I remembered.
I then went down to the store which is in the same building as my work and bought a couple of razors. I then, in the first time of history, shaved my armpits in the womens bathroom (sssht, don’t tell). I felt so much better after, there’s nothing more embarrassing than making a workout with a trainer and having armpit-hair!
Now I have about five razors at work.
It snowed for the first time this season on October 10th, 2013. A Thursday.
Good that our car has winter tires already. We put them on on the weekend before 🙂
The day I got stung was yesterday. Just thought I’d keep it as a memory on my online diary. The bee flew into my sleeve and after I noticed (and paniced) it stung. So my wrist is swollen. Nothing else happened yesterday, other that I figured out I’m not allergic to a bee-sting.
Today I did nothing. Well, not nothing, I rearranged the living- and dining room, helped my mom in the morning with the great Teamviewer I installed on my and her PC (why did I come up with this idea sooooo late???), helped my dad with his iPad and Skype by Teamviewer this evening, had coffee with a friend. Watched “despicable me” twice (well, I let it run for entertainment while rearranging).
I didn’t go to the gym today, so I missed step-aerobic and belly-legs-tushy, which I love to do on a Sunday morning but I just wasn’t in the mood. I made a 30 min workout yesterday, I’m happy I did. The BF went cycling in the alps, the weather today is/was quite nice again (after it rained the last two weeks) but I wasn’t in the mood for that either… too cold! 😉
This weekend was full of yummy cakes and sweets. Way too much of course. I’m happy the weather this coming week should be good so I can go to work by bike again, 2 hours of biking, nice.
My left knee is causing me problems at the moment, I can hardly hunker down. But it’s been causing me problems every now and again after my joint capsule ripped 10000 years ago. It’s just got to get used to the strength training I guess.
Now I’ll go check on the results of the Bundestag elections which have been today. And wait for the BF to come home with my veggy pizza…
