Work out

I love my new work out routine.

I go to the gym every night after 9 -/because then there is less people.

I usually use the machine that is like running and you move your arms (?!).
I do a 5 min warm up - and then I have three options.

1) 30 min mountain interval. 3 min cool down (same machine), 500m rowing, and then the plank.

2) 40 min random, level 2 (same machine), 3 min cool down, the plank and some random exercises that comes to mind.

3) 800m jogging tread mill, intervals (the machine) 200m sprint (9km/h) and 200m slower (5,4 - 6,5 km/h) *5 on level 3. Some weights, arms, the few exercises I know and finish with plank.

Let's see how fit I can get before I get bored 😉

The plan

Because of my (unpaid) maternity leave (subsidised by my baking company) we will not be making any summer trip this year. The past two years we went to San Antonio for a week.

We will make the occasional beach trip, maybe go to the lake house, day trips - maybe somewhere for a weekend.

We need to save evey penny because I NEED to go 'home' this year for Christmas.
Not only because I highly dislike spending Christmas here - for various reasons; miss Christmas food, no snow, and becuas last year everyone else at the Christmas party were downstairs opening gift while I was waiting upstairs with two sleeping kids 👎 - but also because I miss friends and family in Sweden/Europe.

Sophia speaks about how she wants to go to Sweden tomorrow every day.

Sweden 2015 - let's do it.

Really

I am really not inventing how busy I am - Leon keeps me busy night time and work keeps me busy day time.

I just, just came back from the gym - it's 11 (23) pm. 😱 I should already be asleep.

Oh well, I will prepare a few posts for tomorrow while I eat my yummy post work out salad: baby kale, tomatoes, cheddar, avocado, chia and a Dijon- apple cider 'vinegar'.

Monday

Leon had a rough night, I am tired and even napped with him in the morning.

I will post a few more posts tomorrow.

The weekend was OK.
Saturday was raining. I was supposed to drive to Chapala to celebrate a friends birthday. But I don't like that highway when it's or is dark so I opted out of going - sadly.

I had a glass of wine, working in the project instead.

Yesterday, Sunday, it was father's day.
Memo doesn't do well with celebrations; birthdays, Christmas and all of the others. My dad is the same, so I am used to it.
It ended well.

More tomorrow.

Disruption

I am trying to work but Leon is having a tough day.
Ha does not want my attention on anything 👎

I am trying to finish the gifts for the teachers - no.
I would like to get some research done - no.

If I am lucky I get to use the bathroom.

Great gift.

Did I tell you I had the best teacher's gift idea?!
I decided to give Sophia's teachers,/principals and the cleaning ladies each a tomato plant. Great!
When I transplanted the plants into the individual pots they were max 5 cm tall.

This is how the look now.

I will also sneak in a picture of the view from Sophia's room - the world's most boring coto!

Sophia afraid

So.
Back to square one.
Although my map and sticker idea worked fine at the time Sophia is afraid again. She is back in our bed again every night - although if we are lucky she falls asleep in the bed, if we are not lucky she falls asleep under a table (her favorite spot).

Lately, she has been telling me she is scared of the door - I assume she means a shadow on the door (bathroom/closet or main door of her room).

Last night she stared crying - sometimes and falls back a sleep, so I waited a bit to see if she would stop or come running into our room.
Then Leon started crying too.
So I went up, passing by her too I decided to tell her I would be right with her, I would just check on Leon first.
But she wasn't there.

I found her hiding on the side of Leon's bed, scared to death, shaking and crying.
My poor big girl.
I am at a total loss as to what I can do.
Claudia told me to try and change her room, so I think I will put the travel crib in Leon's room tonight - tell her to help me take care of him. Let's see how it goes.

Any ideas anyone?
