Eve says yes

[I am Eve]

Hope the preparations are going well for your wedding!  Must be exciting to have that on the horizon to look forward to

 

And snow!  I'm jealous  What part of the world are you in?

 

That sounds like an ace saturday... glad you're managing to get both exercising and relaxing in

 

Preparations are going well but of course I panic from time to time!

I am located in northern Europe.

Thanks for cheering me on!!

[I am Eve]

Absolutely.

 

:-)

[I am Eve]

that sounds like perfect day

 

Ah, I am lucky sometimes, it doesn't get much better

[I am Eve]

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!  How wonderful!  

 

Also, I'm very admiring of your attitude towards winter...can you rub some of that positive vibe my way so I can make it through the frostbitten days? 

 

Thank you so much green friend! It is fantastic and we are both looking forward to it soooo much.

Liking winter , no big deal: you can enjoy the sauna, look at the crispy white snow, of course ski, drink Gluhwein, feed the birds, light a fire. I think you need to come visit!

[I am Eve]

Wednesday already where you are? pesky round planet. Hoping for you that getting some blood moving will be what you need to feel better!

 

And so it did, it is once again proven that the more foulmooded you are and the less motivated you are the better it feels to work out. I am so much nicer now

Absolutely! I've lost count of the times where I was having a Monday from Hell and every little thing was going wrong and the weather sucked and the traffic was slow and then BAM! One BodyAttack class after work made everything good again XD

 

Hope the wedding preparations are going well!

 

 

 

 

...if it's open bar, can I come?

[I am Eve]

of course you can 

 

Preps are …ok….today.

I think I am a pretty nice person (hope you guys think so too) - sometimes too nice - and I just wrote a frosty email explaining that I was very dissatisfied with some parts.We'll see what happens…Now sleeeeep!!!

[I am Eve]

So, energy levels are getting better, these first three days have been tough and I have needed a lot of sleep. Home from work and time for one hour of yoga. Now though - I just feel so laaaazy!

But, willpower and stubbornness will conquer all!

[I am Eve]

Sooo, yes….(to quote one of my favorite comedians and human beings: Eddie Izzard)

 

A VERY late summary of last week

 

Yoga

3 times one hour and all the other days something or other=A

Feels great to be doing the long sessions again!!

 

Studies

Twice: Brain still working, which feels fabulous! = A

 

 

Running, skiing, pole machine, etc:

Skiing once, the first time this season: 23 minutes - went easy on myself

Pole machine and running on the treadmill at the same session in the gym

= B sort of I think

 

Loving acts towards myself

Kind of difficult to do and to decide when it is done;

Once I decided to just have a good rest day in the middle of on-call week. No binging or other destructive behavior.

Once I was after on-call, and traveling home that day, and decided to prioritize a short sleep instead of cleaning, etc.

I spent the weekend at home after commuting and decided to get some rest instead of taking part in the ongoing restoration project at home.

= A

 

Feeling pleased

and 25 mins later after I read your post:

 

reading NF always brings me to some new things I didn't know about and I often lost track of time on them instead of reading and wriitng at the forum  

that what just happened with Eddie Izzard

 

but anyways - very nice week 3A's and B ? You were top student no doubt

[I am Eve]

Thank you so much, but most of all, please youtube Eddie!!

 

He is an inspiration in himself as well as with his achievements as a marathon runner.

[Wandern]

Yay! Snow! Glad you're able to get out and do your cross-country - even if your toes are all grumbly.

[I am Eve]

Checking in. Just dragged myself out of bed fourth morning in a row. Hectic week, including some minor disasters, glad it's Friday tomorrow. Just to let you know I'm still here ....

It HAS been a hectic week, hasn't it?  Ugh!  Glad you're still here and super glad that tomorrow is Friday!!  Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

[I am Eve]

Thank you LT, you too!! It is already brighter because of TGIF spirit :-)

[Affekonig]

Ahoy, fearless leader came back! Happy Friday.

I'm bad I know, but hearing that I'm not the only one with tough week makes me somehow stronger and inspired and enegrized ...

 

being still here it's great start now... what's the next move ?

Yes snow…... Last weekend I went even further north to where my family lives, and it was a gorgeous winter there! 25 to 30 degrees below, plenty of snow and amazing light. You know when your cheeks and the tip of your nose feel really crispy, and the soles of your shoes make that lovely noise on the snow. I love it so much and it makes me feel at home.

[I am Eve]

Happy Friday to you too! It was kind of a dark hole that engulfed me this week but I bravely fought my way back into the light and warmth of the Druid forest. Great to be back!!!

I am glad that you feel that way, one of the great things with NF I think is that we are all in this together, getting strength and wisdom from the group!

The next move is just to get back on the wagon, sticking to routines and taking care of self.

Late late late summary of week two

 

Too little skiing! But it was too cold.

 

Yoga

Twice one hour, and short yoga all days but one

 

Studies

Twice including creating a lecture again which I haven't done in a loooong time

 

Workouts

I went to the gym and a had a great run on the treadmill and worked on the pole machine.

Apart from that: bike rides to work and walks

 

Loving acts towards myself

I used my judgement and forced myself to one of the one hour yoga sessions and felt so much better afterwards. Same goes for going to the gym.

One day I felt really under the weather but not really sick so I still went to work and arranged so I could do create the lecture mentioned above.

Best of all: the day I went to bed at twenty past nine….

 

Onwards!!

[I am Eve]

Skiied 6 kilometers. Yesssssss!!!!!!

[keliswicked]

I'm very envious of your love of winter... But proud that you're doing so well! I need to get back into yoga as well... Do you leave your mat set up in the same place every day?

[Affekonig]

Yay skiing! It's been to *warm* here (all the trails have gone to ice.)

[I am Eve]

Thank you!

Yes, I mostly leave my mat out (when I can) - it makes it so much easier just to get on it when I have a little time...
