My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Before this weekend came I was not sure about continuing with it as it costs money and time, both of which right now are very precious to us as I have to cancel lessons to do the weekend, which sets us back a bit in terms of our money for the week. 😕 However, after this weekend, I am quite glad that I am doing it and will make sure that I can…

  • This week definitely went better as far as getting to the gym goes. I tried to get in a bit more weights, abs, etc since the first weekend of yoga training finished off the week. There was some progress in the running/walking, but a little bit of the same for weights, etc. Still, progress is being made for sure! 😀 Jan 22 (Sunday) 5′ elliptical warm up 40 30kg total abdominal x2 20…

  • I am not quite sure how I came across this blogger, maybe when I first started Paleo and was looking for recipes, or maybe on Instagram. Who knows, but I love Julie Bauer and her blog Paleomg.com. Some might consider me a bit of a stalker as I follow her on every social media platform including Snapchat. I just find her refreshingly hilarious and straightforward. So, as I follow her blog, it only…

  • Well, it is time for a fur ball update! They are doing well and enjoying life. ​ Pippi has somehow become addicted to chasing around the reflection of our devices in the sunny spots of our apartment. She gets her exercise this way now and even has started to chase shadows…. No one said she was the smart one…. ​ Pippi’s favorite thing to do at night when we are watching TV is…

  • Opposites attract. It is a proven magnetic truth. We need opposites to be whole. Yin-Yang have pieces of each other, but also make a circle of unity in their differences. This is also me and my husband. I adore his silliness and optimism towards life. Although we share many qualities, we are definitely opposites in many ways. One of these areas is my need and desire for consistency, decisions and purposeful proactive actions…

  • _The Power of Habit_ by Charles Duhigg  I believe I started this book some time ago and then got distracted from it due to Book Club, life etc. My completion rate of books seems fairly dependent on either my holidays or time on the treadmill. 🤣 Since I have had no holidays for over a year ☹️, it is my habit of heading to the gym that is getting me back on the reading…

  • Yesterday, I was busy and out from 7:30am until 7pm. You can imagine how exhausted I was after doing 6 hours of Apple Training with a short hour in between, then straight to a Japanese lesson in the evening.😓 I did not have a moment to myself aside from a bathroom break until I got into the bath once home. Thank goodness I had stored up some energy and properly planned my week…

  • Well, this week was sadly very spotty in my workouts. I blame it on my Aunt Flo visit, and also the instability of my life lately. However, I vow to get back to it properly next week! Jan 15 (Sunday) 💪🏽 5′ elliptical warmup 4’21” 20/20/20 20 3kg bar squats 3 10″ arm hangs 25 2kg tricep curls 30 30kg total abdominal x2 20:10″:20 1.25kg ab crunch x2 25 25kg low row 15…

  • I missed writing yesterday because I was catching up on the day after a shock to my system on Wednesday. I am still trying to work out what the universe and God are trying to teach, tell and show me. At the moment, I am not fully appreciating whatever it is or may be. 😒 A while ago M mentioned that there is a chance my visa will have to be cancelled because…

  • _Mornings in Jenin_ by Susan Abulhawa  This month’s Book Club reading was this one, which I had never heard of nor of the author. Seriously, there are so many stories to be heard and read! 😅 Having just finished this book a few moments ago, I am still processing the whole story and trying to recall the 80’s when some bits of this story would have been in my lifetime…. The book is…
