Thailand for three weeks

clock February 8, 2010 10:57 by author Mr Per Olsson
The trip to Thailand is getting closer by the hour now. About 30 hours (9th of February at 2200)) to takeoff and three weeks of sun, long walks and good food.

New thoughts of B2B and workout schools and the coming steps and a logistical point of view in one post as well


Cooking with love and making it easier to do

clock January 8, 2010 21:04 by author Mr Per Olsson

My mother and grand mother says and said "when you cook food, cook with love" and I never understood

Til now, when grown. Now I'm not in a hurry cooking, I dont throw things around in the kitchen and whats left is just lots of dishes and a strange feeling of "what just happened", I let it take the time it needs and I do it with care for both the food it self and they who eats it.
What I found out was that food cooked the time it needs to be cooked and with the love and respect it deserves, tastes better and gives me a better feeling after eating it.

A couple of tips when cooking (the three important p's and the big L) to make it easier for you

  1. Plan - if you can, plan a week ahead, this way you know what to do and when to do so you dont need to feel the pressure or stress of cooking. If you plan for it, it will be so much easier
  2. Purchase - go to your favorite store(s) or supermarket(s), dont be afraid to speak to butchers or the sales team and see to it that the give you the service and food of the high quality that you deserve.
  3. Prepare - Since you have planned so well and for a whole week, prepare everything the day before or the same day. See to it that you got everything needed for the meal your cooking so you dont have to look for it
  4. Love - your food, give it the herbs, the seasoning and scents of the highest possible quality and learn to cook everything from the ground, it will be worth it!

 

And of course, after cooking with love, invite some good friends, the family or loved ones to the table and enjoy



Kettlebell - how fun and easy was this!

clock January 6, 2010 11:28 by author Administrator

I have just realized how fun and easy it is to workout with a kettlebell.

I warmup for about 10 minutes on my crosstrainer (recommended training) and after that I swing my 8kg kettlebell in different
programs for 10-15 minutes and what a workout I get!

I ordered one 8kg and one 24kg kettlebell from Abilica Online and I thought that the 8kg is for warmup and 24 is for the actual warmup.
But how wrong I was, when swinging an 8kg iron ball around in different dynamic or static moves the perceived weight is far more than the actual weight.

So 24kg kettlebell will have to wait for a couple of weeks so I get used swinging the and can report the results.



Weight success - a matter of admitting and deciding

clock October 24, 2009 20:55 by author Mr Per Olsson

I have lost 48 kg the last three and a half years and I'm sure that more people need to loose weight,
every professional within different weight industries and almost everyone else knows this as well.

The problem is that what I found out its not what you eat, how much you work out or how many methods you use.

Its a matter of realizing and deciding "ok, this is it, I'm overweight and I will do what it takes to reach my goals"
Anyone heard of alcoholics (on AA) saying "Hi, my name is XXX and I am an alcoholic". Probably not since most of the meetings
are closed, but what Im after is that it is actually the same thing.

Having an eating disorder, no matter if it is making you overweight or underweight, is something that you need to
get into your head to figure out solutions for. Before someone says "But isnt bodybuilders or fitness freaks
having somekind of disorder as well" I would say that being out of control and in perfect shape is not great in some cases.

So here is how I got out of my eating disorder, which I now see that it had nothing to do with supermethods or eating grass or
running 150km a day.

  1. Talk with a professional (dont stop reading here, its ok to go to step 2)
    I did this, at work we had help of occupational health company
    Boråshälsan, by talking to a nurse in a group therapy manor
    It was a great time opening up both to people I knew and someone from outside my world
  2. Talk with supporting friends about your eating disorder and ask for their support
    What you dont need is someone telling you what to do, what you need is support in the rollercoaster ride that weight loss or weight gain actually is.
    You need someone that can be honest to you and remind you of your goal in a way that makes you work in the right direction again if you fall of the train
  3. Admit to your self, family and your friends that you actually have an eating disorder
    You need to do this because it makes it so much easier to reach your goals. The most important to admit that there is a problem is your self.
  4. Start over each day and be prepared to fall of the train
    Since this is not some method thats supposed to work in different steps, start over each day
    Be prepared to fall of the train, it will happen, but remember that it is ok since you will start over each day to reach your goal
  5. Set up small goals where you give your self something for doing good
  6. Write a food and workout diary
    Write down EVERYTHING you eat every day during a period of 10 weeks. This way you will be able to go back and see what makes you successfull
  7. Workout and do this when you want
    Find a workout that fits you that you can do whenever its ok for you to do it.
    Its doesnt have to be football or aerobics or something like that, its ok take a walk at lunch or doing 10 situps in the morning, as long as you start getting this into your life with working out.
  8. Learn whats in your food and learn that its fun to cook healthy
    Read on the boxes when buying foods and ask someone you know (there is always several that knows this, and I know you know this as well)
    Go cooking courses or cook with friends and family and have fun in the kitchen.
  9. Stop looking at the scales every ten minutes
    It is normal that you change your weight during the day or between days, and it could be a stress factor looking at the scale to often. Once a week is enough
  10. Eat what you eat today, but learn how much normal is
    Talk to a professional, look at internet/books or use the different applications that is available to learn how much normal intake is.
  11. Let it take time
    If it will take years, let it take years. There is no fast way to weight success
  12. Be successfull and share your knowledge with others!

So, admit, decide, do it and be as successfull as possible!

If I can do this, I know you can!
