During covid-19 pandemic

I really hope that you all are doing fine during this pandemic? I am sorry I have not been blogging, but I have been too tired with everything happening 😟

This hat illustrate 2020

 

When covid-19 came to Norway I was on my favorit island Gran Canaria on vacation.

Our appartement

 After one beautiful week everything "exploded" over the whole world 😮 Spain (where the island belongs) closed everything down, beaches, poolareas, shops ++++ We where only permitted out to shop in grocers, pharmacy, only 1 person in cars or one driving and the other in the backseat. Very strange time, but we could not complain because we had a nice appartement, nice neighbours and seaview 💓 

After we came home we had to stay at home in quarantine for 14 days. I am lucky because I live alone and I like beeing alone, and I have 2 beautyful nephews that did shoping for me 💓 My little dog stayed at his extrafamily both when I was on vacation and the 14 days after I came home until we knew I was not sick 😊

We have been lucky in Norway, because we closed schools, kindergartens +++ fast, so we have not have many deaths, and my hometown have just small amont of sick people 👍 So I stay mostly in my hometown and most at home. After the lockdown on Gran Canaria and the quarantine at home I got anxiety for illness back, I feel that I can infect everyone and they can infect me. So I keep away from places with lots of people: birthdays, funerals, crowded shops...... I have not started at the gym again because of this anxiety and my physioterapist has not started giving massage yet. SO my back is not good at the moment,- no massages or excersises since February 😕

Because of summer I use my bicycle and my kickbike and go for walks with my dog so I am not sitting in my chair all the time 😉

My pink bike

Dennis and the kickbike

 As every summer I love working with flowers and vegetables, homegrown tomatoes are the best😋

One little cucumber too

This is also a kind of excersise, washing windows

It is important to have interests, I love beeing in the wood but without car I have problems getting there. But I have been out picking some Blueberries 💓

You can see the big scoliosis when I stand like this

Norwegian/Nordic Blueberries are dark red inside <3

I will stop now for this time, this was just so you can see I am ok and have not forgotten my blog 👍😉

I really hope you all er ok? Big,big hugs from Norway 💓

 

Tired

Last week I was at the gym 3 days as usual, even we also had the annual Kongsberg jazzfestival 🎶

I have increased almost every excersise since I started again after surgery of my foot 😮
Seated legpress now 62,5 kg 💪

The rowing machine I do 11 (12 is max)

Back extension: 42,5 kg

If I compare the first weeks with now:
* Treadmill: May 2016: 5% 5,5 km/h
                   July 2018: 11% 5,5 km/h
* Seated legpress: May 2016: 35 kg
                            July 2018: 62,5 kg
* Rowing machine: May 2016: 6
                               July 2018: 11

This sumer has really been HOT! Norwegian summer is normaly temperatures around 20-25, this summer we have had more like 25-30 in south of Norway 😎,- northern part is rainy and cold 😢

Kongsberg is my hometown 💓

Doing excersises on the fitnessball

My left foot gets swollen often after the surgery, so on Friday I had to go without shooes 😢

Lots of people have vacation now, so it is spacy these days 👍

 The physioterapist and I are now talking about maybe I have fatigue because I never get the good feeling after beeing at the gym, and because I am always exhausted and have not been better after 2 years at the gym.

Someone else with fatigue? What help you?
I am thinking of only go to the gym 2 days, not 3. And doing even more with my food than I do now,- I eats mostly clean food, but I need to be better!

Because of the hot weather ( that me and my body loves 💓) Dennis and I have enjoyed  walking along the river

Nice cold water

Sunny shadow

We have waterpauses too

The jazzfestival in my hometown has been for 54 years and we have artists from all over he world,- most jazzartists of course, but this week we also had A-HA and Sting.
Lot of different places for concerts,- this is one of them:

In the hot weather I have to carry lots of water, but because of that I have lots of flowers, tomatoes and chili 💗

I hope you all are ok? Take care 💓 Big hugs from Norway 😊
