Back to the Real World

So it’s Sunday night and my 10 days of holidays is almost over. Am I ready to go back to work? Yes and no. More time off would of course be nice but, but at the same time I can already feel how I’m gearing up for going into to work mode. I went through my emails earlier and it looks like things have been pretty slow the last week. Last week and the week before is after all the slowest weeks during the year. Everybody is on holiday.

Going back to reality also means going back to the gym and starting to eating right again. I jumped on the scale this morning and very much to my surprise I was only up two pounds. Those two pounds that I seem to gain and lose over and over again. Sigh! Or maybe it’s just a sign that I will 165 lbs is my weight. Looking at picture from my lowest at 149 lbs (Xmas 2003) I do look ill. Now I understand that people kept telling me that I had to stop losing weight. But then I couldn’t see the wood for all the trees (Is that a saying in English? Or did I just translate a Swedish one?)

Getting in the habit off going to the gym three times a week will probably be the hardest part. I like it, but at the same time it boring as hech. I miss my old circuit and core classes at BingoLotto gym .We had so much fun, and Reino was such a good trainer. He could always motivate me, no matter how boring I thought it was. Now at the gym I just plug in my MP3 player and do my routine. 1-1½ hour later I’m out of there and I haven’t spoken to a single person. OK, maybe one or two, but we all do our routine and leave. I wonder how thing will be next week when The European Athletics Championships starts. The gym is just across the street from the Ullevi Stadium and most of the streets are going to be closed down. The security is probably going to be pretty tight too. Oh well, we’ll just have to wait and see. It’s another week left. First I have to make it there tomorrow…
