Bye bye to my nephews for now

Tonight we have been to Tommy's sister and said good bye to our nephews. Honestly its probably only them and my house I will really miss here. And the traffic, which is very little compared to LA. Of course i will miss some of my friends, but its a different feeling.

Here are a few pics of them when we have taken care of them.

Love Eva

Today

Today: Tune up for the car, pack, smoothie, doctors appointment, walmart, dinner, break down our HUGE California King size bed, walk, sleep.

I feel so much better, the pain is slowly going away, HURRRAAAA!!! Its still sore and I'm super tired all the time but the doctor said that's common and it can take up to 2 months to get all the energy back. So that's all good.

Now I'm making dinner then waiting for our neigh boor to come over and help us with our humongous bedroom set.

Talk to you all tomorrow

(Sorry Texans) We met the guy that's going to drive the truck this morning. Super nice guy, its my clients son so we feel totally safe with him taking care of our stuff for 3 days.

I feel a little better this morning, it goes up and down. I did go for a small walk this morning and it went well.

Trott

Min dagliga Frukost: blabar, jordgubbar, halv banan, hallon och keso med kanel pa toppen.


Kampade mej ut pa en langsam, liten promenad idag. Sen packa jag en hel box, sen madde jag jatte illa och var jatte trott. Pust pust, nar ska man borja ma normalt igen. Ar jatte trott nu, men har inte tagit varktablett sen igar kvall sa det ar ju bra. Vill verkligen inte ta for manga sana for jag gillar inte ens o ta huvudvarkstabletter i vanliga fall, men alla sjukskoterskor sager att man maste ta sina varktabletter om man har ont. Jag kampar in i det langsta att inte ta dom.





Jag maste saga att man kan verkligen se hur lojala mina sma hundar ar nu nar jag ar sjuk. De gar brevid mej aven nu nar jag gar sa har sakta, de vantar pa mej hela tiden och de ar sa forsiktiga med mej nu som om dom vet att natt ar fel. De vill knappt ga ut med deras pappa nar han tar ut dom pa pomenad sjalv, de vill va hemma med mej eller att jag foljer. De ar verkligen saaa gulliga.





Ja du en dag sa ska jag vell inte behova prata om det har nagot mera, och jag hoppas det hander snart for jag ar trott pa o prata om det och ha ont hela tiden

Langtar till October

Just nu vill jag bara att tiden ska ga, jag onskar att det var 1:a Oct och flytten ar klar, min ondska borta, eller nastan ialla fall och att allt har gatt bra med allt som ska handa inom en veckas tid. Usch sa mycket stress och inget jag kan gora at det. T.ex Tommy var o kopte farg idag, och det man gor ar att de matchar fargen man har redan, de gor det pa affaren. Tyvar sa blev denna farg inte exact som den vi har pa vaggarna nu, sa nu vet vi inte vad vi ska gora. De gor ju sa gott de kan for att fa den lika och denna gang gick det icke. Nu kommer det ju se helt knappt ut med sma flackar av annan farg lite har o var. Vi kan ju inte borja mala hela huset igen, det har vi ju inte tid med.
Och jag hatar att jag inte kan gora natt, jag packade i typ 5 min i dag och blev helt utmattad. Denna operation var varre an vad jag trodde, jag trodde absolut inte att det skulle gora sa har ont. Men de har ju skart i mej pa tva stallen och sytt ihop pa typ 6 sa det ska vell gora ont.
Nar allt detta ar over och min vark ar borta och huset uthyrt kommer jag o kanna mej mera avslappnad. Nu ar det bara for mycket och jag hatar kanslan av att inte kunna hjalpa till natt.
Det ar jakligt skont o ha en blogg att kunna skriva av sej pa nar man kanner for det, det hjalper faktiskt.

okidoki hundarana is going crazy, Tommy ar ute och fixar med graset och jag kan inte gora natt, ja sa var det med det. Ha en bra kvall, morgon eller dag, whatever det ar hos er just nar ni laser detta.

Better day

Good Morning Friends and Family

I feel so much better today. I slept almost the whole night and the pain is not as bad anymore. My left side is worse than my right side, so if I would of done just one side I would feel great right now, but I did both sides so I guess its a little worse pain than just doing one side.
I still cant walk alot, but at least I walk up straight now, or almost straight.

So today we have alot to do, or Tommy will do I will supervise :-) and help with what I can. We have to paint, of course pack some more, make phone calls and book a ticket to our driver thats going to drive the truck to Cali.

Sun is still beeming here, its still around 98 F degrees. It have literally been around 100 F for about 5-6 months now. Guess if Im happy that we are moving from this weather. Its just tooo HOT! and to much storms and unpredicted weather.

Oki gotta go, just 7 more days of packing.

Love Eva

Love them

Sorry I just have to post some pics of may babies, I just Love them soo much!!!!

PAIN PAIN PAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Look how sick I look and am :-( & this is the only thing I have eaten in 2 days!

All I can say today is: I have sooo much pain im on the way to die. My scar have been dripping blood all night, but it finally stkpped. I cant eat, im so nausiated. This is the only I have been eating for 2 days now, and I cant even finish it. Blueberry, banana, strawberry, raspberry and cottage cheese, topped with cinnamon. Health boost, hopefully it will help me heal faster. At least I can walk by myself now and also get up from the bed by myself, improvement from yesterday :-)

So now its 10 more days until the move and everything is booked and reserved. Uhaul truck, driver, movers, shippment of the small car, place in LA is ready and we have packed alot already. Luckely since I cannot lift a finger nor move right now. Im sooo glad I have the best husband ever, who helps me with everything.

Love Eva

I'm alive

Here I am before my surgery, you like my Bair Paw gown :-) and my red socks?

So I survived the surgerey, as you can tell. Now i have the worst pain ever. I cant walk, stand straight and I feel very nausiated. At least its over and now its just to take care of myself as much as I can.

Kettlebell Fitness Training from Livestrong.com

Kettlebell Training

Overview
To prepare for his role as King Leonidas in the film "300," Gerard Butler trained with kettlebells to develop his physique. The exercise technique is quickly gaining popularity as a way to strength train and get in a high-intensity cardio session at the same time. Instead of spending hours at the gym, find a certified kettlebell trainer to try out this all-in-one workout.

History
Kettlebells date back to the 1700s in Russia, where they were traditionally used as counterweights at markets. After noting the benefits of tossing around the heavy objects, Russian strong men as well as the Russian military began training with kettlebells to improve strength, balance, endurance and flexibility. The 1980 Russian Olympic track team swept gold in the throwing events after kettlebell training, and to this day the Russian military tests fitness with the kettlebell snatch as opposed to the push-up. Coach and nationally ranked kettlebell lifter Pavel Tsatsouline brought the training technique into the mainstream fitness world in the United States.

Equipment
The kettlebell consists of a heavy iron orb with a handle attached at the top. You can purchase the equipment in a variety of weights, or poods. A pood is a Russian measurement equivalent to 16 kg or around 35 lbs. The American Council on Exercise, or ACE, recommends women start with eight- to 15-lb. kettlebells, while men should start with 15- to 25-lb. kettlebells.

Movements
The exercises in kettlebell training involve total-body movements where you swing, press or pull the heavy weight. The momentum-driven swinging motions combined with the handle placement at the top of the iron orb forces your stabilizing muscles around your back and abdomen to engage to counteract the momentum of the kettlebell. In addition to motions specialized for the equipment, ACE suggests performing deadlifts, lunges and shoulder presses with a kettlebell instead of traditional weights.

Benefits
The equipment itself is compact and relatively inexpensive. You can work your entire body with a single, small kettlebell to save space and money on a larger set of equipment. According to the Northwestern Health Sciences University's wellness program Healthy U, regular kettlebell training can help reduce your risk of injury by strengthening your back and rotator cuff, improving your grip and conditioning your body for the quick starting and stopping common in many sports. Researchers at ACE found that the calorie-burning potential of kettlebells can only be matched by quick uphill cross country skiing.

Safety
Because the handle of the kettlebell is placed away from its center of gravity, the quick movements place greater stress on the wrist than the same motion with a dumbbell would, says Fitness Magazine. Start with a lighter kettlebell and work your way up as you learn to control the movements. Healthy U suggests seeking the assistance of a certified kettlebell instructor before performing the exercises on your own. Always be aware of your surroundings when working with the weight. Make sure the area around you is clear, and work over a surface that can handle having a heavy weight dropped on it. If you begin to lose your grip on the handle, push it away from you and move back out of the way.

surgery and moving, not a good combination

Busy busy busy, I dont even have time to think now. We are packing like crazy and in the middle of this im having surgery tomorrow. I went to a long preop today, and im very nervous. I hate going under anastesia, but I have to do it. After today I can't work out for about 6 weeks and not lift a thing for about 4-6 weeks. Oki did I just say that we are moving in 10 days, and what do you do on a move? Lift things!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well, as long as I survive this surgery, the rest will fall into place.

Talk to you all tomorrow night, I hope.

But you can PAUSE to take in the present

"Just Pause and take in the Present", thats all I can say when im in LA. I almost forgot how much it is to do there, how beautiful it is and how much flavor it is with people from every place in the whole world. Here is some pics of our last day there. We went to Santa Monia och Venice beach, 3rd street and the new outside mall down in Santa Monica. It was one of the nicest malls I have ever seen. They really did a great job. I cant wait to move back, now its just 100 things that needs to be taken care of and a surgery, in less than 2 weeks.

Househunting

Tommy at Pacos Tacos after a long day of house hunting
La Freeway, always a parkinglot

Today we have looked at like 10 houses and townhomes. We liked 2 of the townhomes and 1 house. We are leening more towards the townhomes, they were really nice and they will fit all our furniture.

Then we went for dinner at our favorite mexican restaurant here in LA, Pacos Tacos in Culver City. Soooo jummy!!!!!!!!!

Now sleep, sooo tired.

Good Night

Eva

In Los Angeles

We made it to LA even if it was a horrible storm in Dallas. That didnt stop the planes from flying, the flew as normal right trough the storm. We were a little delayed that was it.
When we got to LA we looked at some apartments, tomorrow we will look at houses. We do not want to live in an apartment again so pray that we find a good house for a good price tomorrow.
I love being home again, and by home I mean LA. Thats the only place that really feels like home for me, so im happy.

Time to sleep

Love

Thanks for the support

So I just want to thank everyone that have been there for me through this time when Tommy have been gone. It have been 9 months all together, and it have not been an easy road for us. We are used of being together all the time, so the adjustment to be away from eachother for so long was not fun. Everything feels so different now when he is home and we know he will not go back for at least another month. I mean going anywhere, not back to Stamford but to some other place. Life does not feel complete for me when he is not home, so right now its just sooo great. So thanks again to those that were there for me and supported me, even when I was not happy. You know who you are!

Today I went to the gym and did cardio for 45 min, then weigh training for 45 min and then a kickboxing class. Then Tommy & the dogs came and picked me up and we went for a walk in the park. Sooo great! Then we made pancakes with homemade lingon berries and "hallon" with cool whip. Tommy loves the hallon (Swedish berries) and he now want my mom to send some more :-)
Then we packed alot, we don't have anything on the walls now or on the bookshelves. It starting to really look like we are moving.
Tonight we are going out with some friends to watch college football.

I also wanna say to you who don't know what this test was about. It was a personal training test so I now can train anywhere in the whole world. Before I had a certification so I could only train at Fitness Together. So now I feel very confident that I'm gonna be able to get a job close to where we gonna live in LA. The test was very hard, it covers 18 chapters with everything from anatomy, kinesiologoly, bio mechanics to liability, nutrition, deceases and of course alot of scenarios on how to resolve different situations. So guess if I'm happy that I passed it on the first try.

Love Love
Eva

Good Day

Heeeejjjj!!!!
Today is a happy day, I passed this test that I have been study for for a while. It was soooo hard and looong, but I did it. I have to say, I'm so proud of myself.

Then Tommy came home. It was the best feeling to see him get dropped of from the limo service and knowing that he don't have to go back.






Then we were gonna go celebrate at one of our favorite restaurants. When we get there we noticed directly that it was not like it used to be. Service sucked, the seats were broken, not as much people as it usually is (that's a big sign, look at how much people it is before you enter a restaurant, no people, usually no good) Then the food came after forever, and it was the worst food we have ever had. I could not even taste my chicken, it looked red and smelled and when we tried Tommy's spinach enchilada we both spit it out.
We had to have the manager come and talk to us becaus eit was no way we were gonna eat it. After talking to two manager, not eating a bite of our food we left. We did not have to pay for the food, just the drinks, but man we were disappointed. I wanted to go to this place and have a taco salad for like a week now and then this happens. On top of that its like 45 min from our house, so its not close if I say so. So we ended up going home and making turkey burgers instead. That was one of the most horrible experiences we ever had.

Thunder and Rain all night

Check out this ting top Tommy got me from the Jerry Springer show :-)

What a night, we had the loudest rain and the loudest thunder i have heard in a long time. The whole house was shaking when thunder came. It was crazy, me and the dogs woke up because of it. Tonight's gonna be the same, they said on the news. I hope I will sleep thru it.

Oki this day is almost over, yeah, sooon Friday and i cant wait. I hope that Tommy makes it home before the hurricane comes closer to the east coast. Keep your fingers crossed!

I'm soooo happy that this time is almost over and now we going toward a new chapter in our lives. Back to LA, new jobs, new atmosphere and new opportunities and we cant forget about the best of it all, new weather and a beach right next to us again :-) Hurrraaa!!!!!

This blog will be more exciting very soon.

Lots of Love

NINE YEARS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is us!

I did not have to work this morning but what do I do, wake up at 6.30 am anyway and start to clean. Don't know why I cant sleep longer, I feel like I'm waisting my day if I sleep until 8-9 o'clock. Anyway I took the day off the gym because I have been going everyday for 9 days in a row so my body needs a break. You need to let your body rest once and a while, even if my mental state don't like it hahaha! I go crazy and don't feel good if I don't go workout every morning. I just know that I have to give my body a break once and a while.

So today i met my husband 9 years ago in Los Angeles, outside my gym, Ballys. Another year and it will be 10, yeah!!!! We will have fun going out celebrating on Friday when he gets home.
