snoozing before fall season

September 6, 2019

How are you guys doing? My brain is still on vacation. It’s so hard to have a few days off and then try to get back to it all. The past couple weeks I’ve been really active and eating better, but then we had 4 days of relaxing and eating crap (pizza, mexican, more pizza and more mexican hahah). Wednesday was a busy day with flying, blood test and I was so tired at night after waking up so early that I didn’t do anything, so yesterday then turned into a real slow motion day of nothing and pizza night in our building and first day of football. Today is better, a little more motivation and more energy, but still on vacation both in body and mind.
I hate to say this, but I think I will start my fall season on Monday. Today I might have to go do a second blood test of this week and this weekend we are busy helping our friends moving. You should never say “I’ll start XX on Monday” or “I’ll start after XX” etc, you should always just start, but whatever, I’m ok with being slow:) And what is it that I will start you might wonder. I’m wondering too, hahah, no, I’m kidding. I would like to go back to dance for real now. The road back is loooong and hard but if I am determined enough, I can do it. Right now I have no choice but to do my tests and wait for results for a year ahead of me, so might as well go back to dancing and hopefully I can start teaching as well. I miss it.
Do you have any goals or projects you’d like to work on this fall?

Hey!
I got up at 5:40 am today, made myself a smoothie and went upstairs to my new computer. It was pretty nice to sit up here watching the sunset out the top windows. The boys were sleeping til 6:30. When hubby had taken Mr Fluff outside, we both went down to the gym, then hubby got ready and left for work, I did some pilates at home, took a long nice shower, made myself breakfast and now I’m back by the computer.

So, what have I been up to these past 2.5 weeks?
I have been enjoying the company of my husband and snuggled my pup a lot, I have been meditating, I’ve worked out, my friend welcomed a beautiful baby boy that I went to meet at the hospital, I’ve been enjoying the hot weather, gone for long walks, biked down to the water, walked barefoot in the grass, I did a 72 hour water fast (it was brutal!) as an experiment to see if that would help my level go down, I scheduled myself for acupuncture on Monday next week (I’ve been told it can help), been to the beach and swam in the ocean, my husband built a new computer (as an early birthday gift to himself) and I got his old one set up in my office upstairs, I’ve been journaling, watched sunrises and sunsets, had glasses of wine, enjoyed some millers, been eating good food (and no food) and most of all tried to relax my brain.

It’s been pretty nice to not have apps to check on my phone. I kept pinterest though and I have been saving tons of ideas for a future house;) I haven’t been in contact with basically anyone except my doctor and my friend who had her baby. On Wednesday I messaged with my sister who turned 30 (what?! Feels like I just turned 30 and that was three years ago, what happened?) and yesterday I ran into my neighbor, but for the most part I’ve been completely M.I.A. 

I’m not completely back yet though. Monday feels like a good day to come back after a summer break. I just wanted to check in and say hi now! 🙂 

JLo’s Party

July 24, 2019

Jim and I are not really JLo fans, she has some cool songs that I like and I love the movie Selena but other than that neither of us are real super fans. But, she is a hard worker, I have no idea how she does it but if you look at her history, omg, she has done everything. And now she turned 50 (!!) yesterday and she looks absolutely amazing! She’s had a busy life. Only this year she came out with a new season of World of Dance, new songs, new movie, a tour to celebrate her birthday and she got engaged (again)…..and it’s only July! Inspiring for sure! I watched some longer interview with her a few months ago and if any celebrity is going to motivate you it’s her.The concert was great, we had a lot of fun. We found tickets on the floor. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to see anything since I’m short cause we were seated in the last row a few seats in. But everyone danced so much that it wasn’t a problem and the group of 4 (who also wasn’t very tall) in front of us was moving around so much that it didn’t feel like we had anyone blocking our views. And when I couldn’t see I just put my phone up and watched through the camera (I have a sore neck now haha).
This wasn’t the absolute best show of all time (Madonnas MDNA show is probably my favorite) but damn, you could really see how much she loved to performed and how grateful she was to her fans, becuase the support from the fans was incredible and it really felt like we were at JLo’s own party.
One thing I was kinda surprised by was how amazing her voice is. Not everyone can perform live and sound good while they dance, like Britney Spears probably sounds better in the studio than on stage, but Jennifer Lopez can hit those notes. And her daughter! I knew she was gonna come on stage at some point and sing with her mom (I’ve seen it on Instagram) and her voice in the little video was cute, but oh wow, she can really sing!So happy we went to see her show. These kind of shows is something I will be happy I’ve been to when I’m older:)

[Make sure to check out my latest YouTube video for some clips from her show!]

Home again

July 21, 2019

We are back home from our roadtrip. Another amazing weekend with my husband. It has been a very hot hot hot weekend though. At one point my phone said “99°f feels like 109°f”, and it was humid on top of that, my camera and phone got all foggy when we came outside. I liked it but I have to admit that it’s hard to do a lot when it’s so hot:)

The JLo concert was awesome! Some time in the end she got a very long moment of standing ovation and people kept screaming…and she had tears coming down her cheek, but I thought maybe this happens every concert of hers, it’s an act….nope, I don’t think so cause she posted it on her insta-story today. How amazing for her. You could actually feel it, the audience in Philly was awesome and really loved her.

But, ok, more about that tomorrow, now I’m tired and I wanna go to bed. Good Night!
