Holidays are generally great. But if there is anything that can make a holiday slightly less great, it’s work.

“Nutella from the jar”-day
So the third time was not the charm… I know I should shrug it off and stay positive but I just feel too tired for that. Tired, sad, disappointed and defeated. I didn’t have the energy to pretend anything else, so I went straight home after work, wrapped myself in blankets on the sofa and Read More
License to dream… for another week
I’ve described to you before how tormenting I always find the last week before my expected period, the anxiety it’s caused me… But yesterday I heard of a very different (and way more positive) perspective to those days, which I will definitely try to adopt!

And the time comes when all you can do is wait. Wait for the DPO (days post ovulation) 15 – did we succeed this time..? And I’m not good at waiting! Overall, I think I’ve done better during this “round two”. I’ve been less stressed and more just, you know, hopeful. And happy! After all, Read More
My fitness in numbers
Training is a big part of my life and now that we are planning pregnancy I have started to study what kind and how much of exercise would be good (or bad) for the baby and I.

24-hour anxiety attack
Stress is a curious thing. It does carry a negative connotation, in my mind at least, although I can honestly say that I often up my game under a little bit of stress. However, above a certain threshold, it starts to work against me… After all, stress is basically your body’s way of responding to Read More
Saying goodbye to my body as I know it
New year, new fitness goals – am I right!? Usually I take a new “before picture” of myself after holidays and at the beginning of the year and set myself new fitness goals to get back on track and motivated during the dark cold months (usually motivation comes more naturally the closer to summer we Read More
Oommm – taking a break
It’s the last day of the year and I’m curled up in the corner of our sofa, cosy with candles and all, having a moment of reflection over the past two weeks. My partner summed it up well saying: “it’s nice to have my bubbly and smiley girl back”. It was a good break. The Read More
