Hopes up!

This week has been incredible. I simply feel like jumping around with joy, in my one piece, all day long. 


"You have permission to get your hopes up" -Danny Silk

That quote has been echoing over my head whenever my dreams seemed distant..
Pursuing a career as a fitness instructor has been a working project for a while. Many times I`ve wanted to quit, give up or just run away. But taking it one day at the time,  one goal ahead of me, I now find myself helping unique people reach their fitness goals.
This week for example, I got to sub the popular work out class "Briathlon" at my gym. As a first timer instructing a body sculpt class for well trained people, I was a little nervous. Very nervous actually. I cannot even tell you how many times I have attended fitness classes and envisioned myself as the instructor. And all of a sudden (not without a process of course) here it was... my first opportunity to instruct a class like that. If you ask me how it went, I might or might not have learned more what to not do. =) But the good news is that I did "good" and was asked to do it again tonight. WOOH

Some exercises I've done this week
  • assisted pull up
  • barbell bent over row
  • barbell side bent
  • cable seated row
  • abdominal reverse curl
  • bar crunch
I did 15 reps, then 10, then 5 with raising the weight every time. After a 20 sec. rest I would go back down same reps. The result... my muscles felt like jello. Love it!
I do miss going for long runs outside. It is just to cold.. But I am really enjoying keeping my focus on strength training. Every day I jump on a stationary bike and do Spinning intervals. They are great for  working on strength in leg muscles and to get the pulse going.

Breakfast! Oat meal is healthy fast food. Just add hot water. Boom.
Thank you for reading my post today, I hope your day is amazing and full of hope! 
What could you be more hopeful about?

Bits and pieces from my day

Started with a Solid breakfast....
Gluten free buffins that I made the other day, with brown goat cheese and raspberry jam..
sooooooo yummi!
Then I made a little Christmas decoration, using tangerines and some cloves
Many people use this for counting down days till Christmas, when making it - put the same amount of cloves as there is days left till Christmas, every day you pull out one clove...=)
Woow, Birthday party for a friend at the bowling aly, 
I actually got a strike right after this photo was taken... Yes, I was very surprised.
It was super fun thou.
Becky my bff sure knows how to bowl with style. SHE is amazing!

My Tuesday morning

My alarm went off at 5.30AM... So I got out of bed and out the door, a Spinning class was waiting! Sooo early for not having slept much the last couple of days. But that's ok, cause after my work out I felt more energetic then in days. My body was seriously itching to get moving again. ONLY 5 weeks til Christmas now, I don't know about you, but I feel extremely motivated to get all kinds of work out in before we end year 2010.
Here is my outfit for the day...
 My jeans are Nudie jeans, my sweater is from Bik Bok in Norway and my Espadrillos are from H&M.

Here is the play list for my Spinning class:

Vermillion - The Album Leaf
Glow - Madcon
Blue Suede Shoes - Elvis
I gotta feeling - (David Guetta) The Black Eyed Peas
Are you gonna go my way - Lenny Kravitz
Galapagos - Work out mix 2010
Seglopur - Sigur Ros
Heartbreak warfare - John Mayer

Pumpkin Patch!

Today has been SUCH a good day. It started out with me instructing a Spinning class at 5.15 AM, which is quit so early... but lucky me I just hurried home after the class, took a quick shower and got right back to bed. Woke up several hours later and went to Jamba Juice and Starbucks with Jeffrey, before we set out for errands all over town. The forecast for today and this whole week was rain, rain and more rain. But at 1PM the sun was shining so I went for another 5 mile/8Km run. Happiness! 

This time every year we go pumpkin patching. For those of you that don`t know, a pumpkin patch is a field where pumpkins grow...It`s a Holiday festivity where you can have lots of fun, drink apple cider, eat kettle corn and other Harvest goodies. There`s usually several scarecrows, farm animals and little trains you can get on to tour the farm. We went with our good friends Becky and Derek. In this picture Im NOT sharing my popcorn with the little pony. sorry. 
 
 Becky and I found some cute mini pumpkins to decorate our homes with.....
 lots of big ones =)
 He wanted a 33lb. pumpkin. Lots to carve later!
XOXO
