KÄRLEK

Första advent och vårt första ljus är tänt.... ladidadida!
Eller hur går den nu?!

SVENSKA, sorry guys, I just have to!

Ibland blir jag så fylld av KÄRLEK att det känns som om jag ska SPRICKA!

• Jag har VÄRLDENS skönaste, vackraste, roligaste FAMILJ
• 
  
• BLÅBÄR i Sthlm, jag DÖR! Helt fantastiskt, ni räddade min dag!
• 
  
• Min bästa vän har gift sig, han som aldrig tänkte/ville gifta sig :)
• 
  
• Så grymma vänner som jag kan levlla med... läs SOY's blogg om HUNGER!
• 
  
• GÖTEBORG...åh, Järntorget, jag ÄLSKAR att komma hem!
• 
  
• Att få DANSA med Grymma Jammers som ger järnet, wow, you fill me up!
• 
  
• JUL, JUL Strålande JUL! Oh NEJ, jag tänker INTE vara en av dom som: Åh, GUD vad snabbt tiden går, läskigt, redan jul....bla bla bla, stress bla bla bla... Jag tänker NJUTA varje sekund. Jag har redan ätit en lussebulle, pepparkakor, köpt tio sorters glögg och lyssnat på julmusik (jag skutta fram på sthlms gator när jag hörde "nu nu e de jul igen" ohhh, orgasm....!)

Nu jäklar DECEMBER, watch out! Jag kom just hem från en helg i tre städer; work, work, work och jag är så FYLLD att bjällerklang klockorna stannar!

Christmas PARTY

Mo:
Although I had an early start on Saturday morning, I made it to the X-mas Party for Gymnasium on Friday night. These two clubs are unique in Sweden. With Owe, Åsa & Pia running the two ships, they have created two extremely successful clubs - run like professional businesses, but still with a very "homely feeling". They sure deserve to be "The Club of the year". Do you agree? Then place your vote here.

Almost 100 Gymnasium-people all glammed up. Nice to see you "with clothes on"...

"Grabbarna Grus" who kept us entertained during dinner: Fredrik, Peter & Magnus. We were all laughing and making jokes about the "PRAO-elev" that we had for a waitress. Tip: if you cannot remember a single thing 1 min after you have left a table-get a notebook and WRITE it down. And yes, knife and fork are obligatory tools for a dinner restaurant, even when you serve hamburgers....

Annica, Emil, Fredda, Victor & Linda, looking all gorgeous on the table next door...

Standing ovations and "Happy Birthday" for the birthday "child"...

...Owe G - 50 yrs and still going strong...

Impromptu performance by "Benji" & Nils...

Me with wonderful Susanne & best pal Åse

Åsa G - a legend - and stunning as usual!

MULTI-talented Pia & Åsa are receiving their X-mas presents...

(Be careful) What you wish for

Mo:

I set my alarm at 6.40am this morning and I was so, so tired when I left my warm, cosy bed.

By 8.02 I was on the train to Falköping and an hour later I changed from train to bus. As I was making myself comfortable in my seat the first phone call arrived. Someone was almost crying down the phone. Turns out that the gym I was travelling to was burgled last night!



We agreed I would go to my hotel in Tidaholm and await further information.

I arrived at the spookiest hotel I´ve ever been to. At 10am the reception was closed for the day (!) and I entered with a code that I had received at the time of the booking. My key was waiting in a white envelope on top of the reception desk. Except from me, the whole building was empty, or at least that´s the impression I got. Long, dark corridors and an elevator without a window... I´ve seen enough horror movies to know when the audience goes:
"NOOOOOO, don´t go in there, you stupid, stupid person!!!!"



I was seriously contemplating how on earth I would be able to sleep in that place... Pictures of little twin girls, "REDRUM" and an insane Jack Nicholson were running through my head.
Second phone call arrives: Turns out that the burglars not only have stolen stuff, but also caused enough destruction to make it impossible to work in that gym for at least 2 days.

So, 2h after arriving in Tidaholm, I´m on the train back to Gothenburg.

And that´s how I ended up with half a free weekend at home! Just when I needed it most. Weird how life works sometimes, eh?

Tired, but not bloody dead!

Mo:

I might be tired, but I´m not bloody dead.

Tonight I´m taking my new favourite shoes out for a ride - Black shoe boots with python skin & suede from KG. Ohhhh, I like!

Meeting up with the Gymnasium crew for the yearly X-mas party.

My train is leaving 8am tomorrow morning, so I promise to be a good girl and do a Cinderella (minus the lost shoe of course!), I´ll be home by midnight...

Happy 1st Advent!

Right height, right colour and ohhhh, so sexy... I LOVE my new shoes!

I Don't like Buffets

I don’t like buffets

I either eat too much or I don’t eat at all….

I have such a hard time pacing myself.

This weekend is a buffet!

Today I am off to OSLO to teach the quarterlies: BODYJAM 47 and BODYBALANCE 43.
They rock I must add! Especially since the HOTTEST jammer is on the DVD, Swedish ÅSA FORNANDER totally shows you how to get low in the hip-hop part ☺


Coldplay opens up the new BODYBALANCE with the lyrics: ” Just because I’m losing, doesn’t mean I am lost” Wow ☺ Ask my brother if he likes that song, or let me rephrases that: ask my brother if he likes ME singing that song ☺

One night in Oslo and then Stockholm bejbi! It is a good thing that I am not in Stockholm tonight cause there would have been a fat chance that I would have stirred my little touché towards Cafe Opera and HOUSETÅGET. Considering that I am working this weekend that might not have been a pretty site Saturday morning. So a little less buffet, thanks!

El Stockholmo awaits me on Saturday evening, and here is the tricky buffet part:
To many dear friends to meet and greet in to few hours
To many hot, cool yoga workshops to attend in to many places in to little time.
If I were you and I were in Sthlm this weekend I would be glued to either:

DAVID LIFE and SHARON GANNON’S workshop on www.yogayama.se


Or
Jason's workshop on www.bikramyogasoder.se

Well, I am also teaching the quarterlies in Sthlm on Sunday so I’ll let you know how I managed to digest this weekend buffet on Monday ☺
If you want more tips on how to eat as much as possible without being full like an watermelon with seriously high blood sugars you can ask MANGO ☺ hahahahahahha NOT!

And yeah, by the way, it is also 1sta advent!
Wiiiiiiiiiii

Phuu, so much fun, so little time

Stretch the breath people stretch the breath!

LOVE Jo

Duracell Bunny is getting tired...

Mo:

...and wouldn´t mind some Christmas holidays right now.

Instead, I´ll be off to Tidaholm this weekend for a 2-day In-Cycle Certification Course.

Next Wednesday I´m travelling to Linköping to participate in Scott Sonnon´s 1-day Kettlebell course, followed by his 1-day Clubbell course. (Oh, and I´m guest teaching a spinning class there as well!)

Scott Sonnon sporting a clubbell.

Sunday 7 December is my last weekend booking of the year, and it´s close by (doing a heart rate course for a new club in Kungsbacka).

Monday the 8? Ohhhhh, celebration of "almost holiday"-day! Well, at least for a couple of hours, then I´m off teaching my regular classes in the evening!...

Thursday the 11? Thailand, here I come!!!!

.

Thursday=SchoolDay

What a cosy day!

Breakfast with Fab POM and KRULL (who is no longer krull, kinda like me). I love u!
Christmas decorating my home hahahha, mom would die if she knew that I've done this already. She is the mom who decorates for christmas on the 23rd of Dec and throws it all ("it all" being one tomte, 2 red pillows and one BIG christmas tree) out on the 25th!

By christmas decorating I mean: Putting my old junk in the attic (finally). Vita hyacinter, mmm, loads of candels everywhere. Christmas star in the window, a BIG tray of juciy oranges and an old white tall ADVENTSLJUSSTAKE :) mmmmm
COSY!

And now I am of to school, I LOVE SCHOOL!

Before I took my degree as an NON GOVERNMENT PROJECT MANAGER I studied MANAGEMENT within HEALTPROMOTION (humanekologi in between :)! I love the idea of the concept health PROMOTION!

So here's the quote of the day:

"Hälsa är ett tillstånd av fullständigt välbefinnande såväl fysiskt, psykiskt som socialt och inte bara avsaknad av sjukdom." - WHO, Världshälsoorganistionen 1948

Have a good one

Jo

X-mas shopping has started!

Mo:

Presents that are bought:
* x-mas present for my sister CHECK
* x-mas present for my niece CHECK

People I know what to buy, but haven´t got to the right shops yet:

* P CHECK
* Sis´ husband CHECK
* Mum CHECK

Dad? NO idea...

The hunt goes on...

.

I really am getting married!....

Mo:

Then when I came back from Stockholm Sunday lunchtime I was kidnapped. (By amateurs, I should say...:))
They saw my train come in, rushed out to hide...and missed me as I was walking past!
Hahahahaha, 15min and a few confused phonecalls later (I was sort of getting cold and annoyed when P was late picking me up-he´s normally NEVER late) and my sister panicking wondering if they had been watching the wrong train... 4 of my absolute favourite people in the world blindfolded me and brought me in the car to...St.Jörgens Park for my hen do!

We had a fabulous time!

Wow, my friends really now what I appreciate - great company, conversations, laughter, food and relaxation...

We did lots of food - SPA - food again - hanging out - giggling - telling stories - sleeping - hotel breakfast together and then bye bye on Monday morning.

Thank you SO much for a wonderful day/evening/morning!

My friends have a weird sense of humour. They NEVER thought I would put it on, but I decided to be a good sport. (Besides, anyone who has seen "Madagascar"-the movie, knows that penguins RULE!) Turns out I did not have to wear this costume anywhere outside the hotel room, so yes, we are still friends...

In front of the tiny fireplace at St. Jörgens Park hotel...
Febs felt "Big in Japan"...

Don´t mess with the Asian invasion! (You know, it might not seem like it in this picture, but I have lots of non-Asian friends too... 2 of which were travelling this weekend, JO & Mango, and two others who couldn´t make it for other reasons...)

SVETTISDAGARNA 2008

Mo:

First report: Svettisdagarna....

Had so much Red & White love on Saturday that my heart almost burst! Wow, what an event. Over 1.500 people gathered to take "Jympa"-classes, lectures, dance, Functional training, Spinning and more.

It was a lovely day for me and I was proud to be invited.

"Jympa" in the main hall...

Mango, Saturday morning. Getting ready to do his magic.

At lunchtime I hooked up with wonderful C (my sister-in-law)! Lovely to see her!
Representing F&S Älmhult at Svettisdagarna.

The bike"room"...

I look kinda lonely and tiny up there, don´t I?

I'm Back !

From Tallin!

Yeahh!
Core Class has never been so lovelly! U rock guys!
And today, 3 more members stepped into the class. I usually see them in the gym at 630am on the cardio machines and I have been wanting to invite them to join me for the 7am core class but I haven't yet.... And today they joined the class before I even came around to ask! Now, the importat question is: Will they come back?....

I will keep u updated!

Until then, I know Mo has done some christmas shopping.... I never start before Dec, but this year christmas is early! Check out the skirt I bought for my mom as a JULKLAPP :) U like?!

Let's rock this Tuesday!

Hard Core Jo

I wanna go HOME

Yees, Yes, Yes!

I wanna go home
I miss u

It is at times like this that I hate being alone, I wanna have someone by my side who says; Bejb, just relaxe, I'll take care of everything, just lean your head in my lap and close your eyes. By the time you open them, you'll be home!

Right now, I don't get karma...

Why? Why? Why do you cancel a flight after 10h of waiting. Couldn't you calculate, use propabilities to figure out that the plane probablly wouldn't be able to take of, not today either...

Tallin, i love u but right now U SUCK!!!

Jo

Pom I miss u

I WAS KIDNAPPED!

...yesterday afternoon as I was coming back from Stockholm, and I´ve spent the last 20h at my HEN NIGHT! :)

Will get back with full report in the afternoon, but I´m off for a modeling thingie for Göteborgs Energi now.

See you later!

Love
Mo

VIRUS week

Mo:

Computers should help your daily life.

More often than not, they seem to do the opposite... Why do they suddenly decide to "freeze" when you have written a particularly good email or blog-thread? Why do some updates prevent you from reading your emails as normal or open attachments? I know, I know, I know, it´s supposed to be for security reasons and to protect us from VIRUSES, TROJANS, etc etc.

The last few days my old anti-virus program (Norton) has been playing up my home computer. It kept telling me to compress old files and that there were not enough disk space, etc. VERY annoying since I ended up deleting 3-4 programs, clearing zillions of MB...and it still wouldn´t work.

Well, thank God for Google. I´ve now deleted my old virus program (which in itself needed almost 200MB space!) and installed a FREE (yes! We like!) anti-virus/spyware program for PC-owners, called Avast.


It has had phenomenal feedback on different forums, blogs and magazine sites around cyberspace, so I dare say it comes highly recommended.

Phew! Not only do I have to keep myself in good health this week, it seems that my computer was the one with the potential serious problem...

Red & White weekend (no, not talking wine...)

Mo:

Tomorrow I´m off to Stockholm (again!) to join the revolution of "Svettisdagarna"! I am the proud presenter of 2 spinning classes at the Red & White yearly gathering of Friskis & Svettis main event.
There are 1.500 people taking part in the 2 days of training and inspiration and there will be 150 bikes in the bike room.
Should be "da Bomb"!

I LOVE working with F&S - so much love so much joy! Also, my music style is so not very Friskis (not a schlager in sight!) which makes it even more exciting - both for them and for me!

First of all though, I´m looking forward to my appointment with Affi (who desperately needs to fix my eyebrows) tomorrow morning and then it´s lunch with mum.
Packing will happen around 14.00 when I follow the usual routine of throwing all I can find into a VERY big suitcase.
Lucky my train doesn´t leave until after 5pm...

Yes, warewolf-alert, ahoy!

.

V.V.K

Mo:

Ha!
At least this morning I won. Grey sweatpants stayed by the bed and on went extra baggy suit-shorts+extra tight waistcoat from Stella Forest+black fitted cotton-lycra vest from H&M, boots by Gucci.



In my V.V.K-mode (Våga Vägra Koma - or "Dare To Refuse Coma") where the mission this week is to rejuvenate and recover, I´m happy to say that on day 3 it´s working. The extra hours of sleep, the extra vitamins and the slower pace during the day saw me waking up this morning FULL of energy and feeling great!

The final goal is to arrive on my holiday on December 12 relaxed and focused. Instead of arriving 1.feeling faint, 2.like a wreck with a sore throat and/or 3.needing 48h of continuous sleep before the holiday can start!

Step 2 on my mission is next week, when my plan is to finish all the Christmas shopping before Wednesday, when the shops are nearly empty and with plenty of time before December 24...

Yes! I´m on a roooooooll!
