I cannot give up!

Finally I was able to go to the gym again! I did most of the program 👍 When I started I got pain in my lower back, but after 3-4 excercises it was ok 😊 

I wanted to see how I have been doing this year,- wow!!  It is almost 1 year since I started!
I do more different excercises now than last May, but to compare then and now I have looked at some of the excercises to see if I am better. There are 3 columns: May 2016, November and April 2017, I have had some accidents (2 falls on ice) and some colds = no training.

                                    May 2016                        November 2016           April 2017
Treadmill:         5%, 5,5 km 25 min                11% 5,5 km 30 min          11% 5 km 15 min
Seated leg press:     35 kg                                    75 kg                              55 kg
Pulldown:                  25 kg                                    30 kg                              27,5 kg
"Roing":                      6                                           9                                      9
Back extension:         54 kg                                     47 kg                               47 kg
Rotation:                    45 kg                                     25 kg                              25 kg





As you can see, something is better and something is worse. 2 falls on the ice (forehead in November and fractured wrist in January) and the colds made it necessary to take some time out 😢 The reason Back extension and rotation is less is because the weight was too much for my back.


                                                                This is how I felt on the gym today! It was really hard!

We had winter visiting again this week 😞

 But they say we will get almost summer next weekend! I really hope is will happen 💓
My body is really tired after this icy winter.
How is your body after winter? Do you know any difference? Or do have summer all year? 😏

 

Easter

The only excercise I have been doing this Easter is walking with my little dog,- I still have the cold and caughing 😞
But the snow is gone and Dennis and I have had some nice walks! I always have my Nordic poles with me and then I can walk for longer walks.

There are lots of things to see in nature now:

These are some of the first flowers we can find in Spring :-) Blue Anemone

There is still lots of ice on the water, but it is not safe to walk on! You can find lots of nice patterns in it 😊 I found these beautyful stars.

Hopefully I can go back to the gym in a few days! This winter has not been good to my body 👎 So I have lots to catch up! I have made some goals for this summer too,- one is the same as last year just to see if I am better now!

In this photo I am really tired and you can easely see my angelwing (right shoulderblad sticking out)

 I hope you all are doing fine? Have you had Eastervacation? In Norway shops are closed for lots of days during Easter, life "starts" again the 18. of April.

I really hope we are getting warmer weather soon, I have to have fire in my fireplace and outside I use woollen clothes.

And this was what we had this morning 😞

My dog is originally from Tibet (Himalaya) so he loves snow

This early in the spring I allways buy flowers that can take some snow and minus degrees
