Survived Christmas

Okay, today I decided to write something in my blog. But I guess I am not really a blogger and do not think I will ever become great on this. First of all I think it is really difficult to know what to write about and secondly the language is a big issue for me. I am Swedish speaking, and of course that would be the easiest language to write in for me... but then all my Finnish friends will not understand a thing. Finnish I do not think the Finns would like me to write in since that text would be full of writing mistakes. 

Our Christmas tree

But enough with the excuses, have I decided I will write I will. Today was the first normal day after Christmas, what a relief! Do not understand me wrong, I love Christmas and usually start waiting for it after Summer holidays. I love giving presents, love all the Christmas decorations and lights, Christmas songs and spending time whit my family. What I do not like is the food and sitting still. The gym where I was working out earlier was always closed during Christmas holiday, so even if I wanted I could not go there.

Now I have been working out at another gym for a couple of months, and it was open all days during Christmas. At Christmas eve morning I went there to train my shoulders. After a great workout we went to my mother's place for some food.... and candy.... and food. Next day I was planning to do chest and arm workout in the evening. But instead of that I spent my evening in bed and at the toilet throwing up.

That what you get when trying to eat like normal people :(. I have been eating in a certain way for many years now, quite healthy, so I guess my stomach have got used to that lifestyle. Of course I sometime eat candy, pizza, cake, biscuits etc. but when I eat I eat a lot during one day and then that day sometime end up whit me throwing up.... I have this stupid logic (that works, but I do not recommend it to anyone): If you eat and eat until you feel bad during one day you will not continue eating the following day. 

Yesterday I started the morning whit my normal porridge breakfast and had broccoli, rise and chicken for lunch. At the day I was outside playing in the snow whit my child.  In the evening I went to the gym and did my chest and arm workout. What a great day, I felt full of energy and my stomach thank me for returning to my normal diet. 

It was not only the Christmas tree inside that was white

Be kind

It is almost one month since I last wrote something, biggest reason for that is that I do not really know what to write about. Maybe that will become easier when getting more used to having a blog. Honestly I never thought I would be the person having one, but here I am. This morning when reading some other blogs I got annoyed and at the same time I got some inspiration what to write about today.

Alone Malone, Pro Elite Team member wrote in her blog text 10thof December about supporting each other and being kind to one each other. I fully agree with her, hearing some kind words from someone really can save your day. But why is it so difficult to be kind to each other, why do we so often read about people getting bullied, why is there so much envy in this word and why do people hurt each other?

If we had answers to those questions I think this place would be a better place. Everyone would feel better and there would be less violence. I think the most useful I have learnt in my life is this:

“One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself”

Picture got from: clipartmojo.com

Those giving mean and hurtful comments in blogs and in discussion forums, would they like to get treated in the same way? Or maybe they are treated just that way by someone else, feel insecure and in some way feel better by getting someone else feel bad? I think it’s so sad that it have to be like this, and also one of the reasons why I have not created a blog before.

Today I am old enough and have went through enough not to be hurt by anything. Ten years ago that would not have been the case. Knowing how hurtful I was as a teenager, and knowing how important other peoples opinion was to me I really think people should be careful what they write as comments in each other blogs. There are a lot of young people telling everything about their life in their blog and also putting out pictures of their self. If you do not like the way they look, what they are doing or what they write about JUST STOP READING! 

If you make someone feel better you will also feel better yourself!

Be kind and have a nice and happy day J
