Here is the Charleston video. Finally. It was pretty much done before we went to Sweden but with everything happening, I just put it aside. But now it’s finished and I hope you like it. If you do, please give it a thumbs up over at YouTube. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already;)

Hello April! It’s been so warm in our bedroom at night so it was hard to stay asleep. So I was dead this morning. But after I finished my coffee, I was ready to take on this day…starting with some bits from our weekend:)
On Saturday we finally had one day of spring again. After breakfast, J and I walked over to the Athletic Club. I hung out in the dance studio. J wanted to play basketball but kids had some class there so I think he was a bit disappointed, but I had a great time:)
Since the weather was so nice, we decided to take Thor for a long walk. There is a bar with outdoor seating that we’ve taken him before. We ordered sweet potato fries and some grilled chicken for lunch.
And then we decided to walk to a newer apartment building by the big park. T was over excited and nervous that we were gonna leave him, a bit annoying but its good to bring him along for things. We looked at one apartment and all the amenity things. They had a dance studio with a ballet barre and their rooftop had view over the water and you could even see the Manhattan skyline. We are not moving probably, but in case the building we live in now gives a ridiculous price once our lease is up then it’s good to have seen some options.
We saw that they have built a dog park in the big park across the street so we took T there quick before going home. We dropped the tired pup off at home, grabbed some drinks and went upstairs to the rooftop. Lovely weather, 17°c! I noticed yesterday that I had burnt my face. And then it was March Madness all night.
Yesterday was a pretty boring day weather wise. Colder again and rainy (and today is freezing, brrr). We decided to go check out the workout center nearby that the Athletic club suggested to sign up for now when they are closing. My friend works there so I saw her face on the wall:) We got a free try to check out the facility. Jim lifted weights and I spent my time in their dance studio. They also had a ballet barre♥ We only spent like an hour there, and then we drove to Burger King for lunch, haha. They keep advertising $0.50 coffee so I wanted to try it. Not very good though. And then we did nothing. Watched basketball. At night I suddenly was super motivated to plan out my month (read the last post) and then we went to bed.

Hellu! How are you this evening? I feel super pepp about…everything. Really. I have three books (all pink actually haha) that I write down things for each month and for each season. One regular calendar cause I still use one of those and always will. One is a smaller book where I have drawn the month and I write things to accomplish or important things that needs to be done or just fun things that I would like to try for that month (my new goals for the year that I wrote about HERE is written down there too). In a larger one I write the exact same thing as the smaller one but in a more clear list form. Confusing? Haha, well, not to me and it can motivate me. The past few months I have crossed off very little things so I end up moving it over to the next month and the next… But now, I really feel like this last week of March kicked my butt a bit and I feel so incredibly motivated to mark all things on my list off. My number one thing for April, which unfortunately I have no control over, is to get my HCG level down to 0. Hopefully don’t have many weeks left but who knows.
After spending time at the gym a lot more this past week, and feeling really blah in my body and really sad about that it feels like I’m stuck in deep mud and I can’t crawl up, I could see and feel some results today. I am nowhere near what I used to be or what I like to be, but I know that hard work will pay off in the end. My goal is to build my muscles strong again, get them to be as flexible as they used to be and to go back into dance classes without killing my knees. It’s not an easy road back but I know it’s possible.
April and spring, I am ready for you!
Yesterday I danced around by myself in the studio nearby

Currently sitting on the couch with my laptop, Thor sleeping by my feet, I’m having a glass of red and the tv is on. Jim is out to dinner with work. He hasn’t been out with work really at all since we moved here, it’s just not as easy as before cause most people wants to go out in NYC it seems like. But he’s out with his team now closer to work.
This week I’m pretending that it is warmer than it is outside. I’m just so sick of winter and staying inside, so I’ve been out for longer walks. Yesterday Thor and I walked to Mill River Park. Noone in the park. Thor was so happy and excited to be out for a long walk and to be in the park. He loves the words “walk” and “park” and when putting them together, it doesn’t matter where we are going or how far, he is super excited no matter what. I also make it sound exciting:) We were gone for over an hour. We have been for longer walks today as well. We both need it, Thor and I, after a long winter:)
