Cheering for friendships - you know who you are!!!

I had quite a serious thought yesterday about people and friends, how some people stay in your life and some dont, and how some make such a great impression  - and some dont.. From what I know, there is only one person that really doesnt like me.. I wouldnt say hate me, as I dont think so, but close. And I have never understood how someone can feel that way, in general. Isnt that just waste of energy? But not my energy, so I cant take responsibility.. Then there are the people that I truly like, my dear friends and also the poeple that I just know. Probably friends I just havent got to know yet. Today I had lunch with a special perosn, who seems to light up my heart every time we meet. This person just gives me energy and a happy feeling inside, which is special. Thanks J for that! xx And over the weekend I spent all my time with great people, and I just havent really thought about how furtunate I am to have these guys around me.Friends who are there for good and bad...

Success with Green Madness!

This post is a bit later then I hoped it to come, but I have been so busy.. Ah well, here we go! The event last week went so well, and I was completely surprised by the great turnout.We more or less filled the room and the fundraising went up to around 4500SEK after all costs paid off. Really cool! I am so grateful to everyone who came to support me, and of course the musicians who all donated their time. I cant even start to explain how fantastic that is. THANKS A MILLION! We had a really cool line up - Fanny Holm, Brian O'Connor, Brian Kramer, Keith Hearne, Brian Carolan, Philip O'Connor, the base player Daniel Ramsten, Steve Waddiz Morris on drums, Thor also on drums.. they were all so fantastic, I wont explain it in words as I wouldnt be fair to them as they are so much better than I can ever explain, but I can give you links to youtube clips from the night, check them out! Fanny Holm started the evening with this great song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeoSL...

Tonight is the time! Green Madness!

So, now its only a few hours until the event starts, "Green Madness in Altitude!". I am actually nervous, even if I wont perform any music acts, but I guess that is normal. I should be used to this considering all the events I have managed through the years, but it has been some time now so this is really exciting.. I am eating my very LCHF-lunch/dinner based on chicken, cheese and scrambled eggs, so I should keep my energy up tonight, and to calm down the nerves I did a few rounds of my exercises.. Works well, I must say - feel a lot better now. I hope to see most of you there, that you have been smitten by the radio interview I did yesterday, the posters and all our gerilla marketing on Facebook :) It will be fab night, a great mix of music and a raffle with great prizes! Well, Im off to get ready, you should too! Jen xx

Back home.. ready for new challenges!

This last week I was in London for work, we had our biggest event for the year - Capital Markets Day - where all investors and analysts come to listen to our Executive Team while they present the strategy for next year. I am proud to say that the hard work paid out and we had a great venue which looked smashing and a great result as the share price went up :) But its not the best week for the person who wants to exercise, sleep and eat well - as there is just no time for it. I eat when I have the time, and then I eat what is served as I wont get another chance. I sleep when I am done at the venue and that is normally far past bedtime. But I wont be too hard on myself as this is part of my life and I love my job, so I have to do what I have to do. I also started the week with a sore throat and a cold coming on, but I refused and it worked. I have slept through the weekend and today I actually feel good again. Looking forward to a week full of possibilities now when things are gettin...

Back in the game!

After being away at meetings for a week in London, I am back on track again - literally! I went out tonight for interval training, and yes - it is just as fun as it sounds. The good thing is that it ends fairly quick :) No, its not that bad, just tough.. and I am sure that I will find it a lot more fun the more I do it. 8 x up that bloody hill... My legs thought I was joking :) Nevertheless, work is done and I feel good! I finished off with 40 push ups, which even surprised me as I did 30 on my toes - getting there, slowly.. I had to email Rickard to tell him, as I dont think he was very impressed with my previous week away, as I had these exercises to do, but somehow 12h work days and then dinners with the team does take both time and energy away from you.. Probably a bad excuse, but it is. Its my excuse. As we are off to London next week again, I have a different plan. Less alcohol in the dinners, trying for early evenings and deciding that I will do my workouts in my room o...

Personal Trainer!

Today I met with Rickard, my Personal Trainer. I cant believe that I was scared to meet him, he is such a nice guy. We have a good plan how to make me the strongest lady in town, and I believe that we can make this happen. My first sessions will be with me, myself and I - and I have a few exercises to do while being away next week travelling. There is one - the burpie - that I dont think I will do when anyone is looking..!! Haha, that would be for my private time. I never thought it would be so incouraging to have a PT, I really feel like this will be lots of fun and I look forward to the result. His plan and thoughts were so in line with my own, I am sure this will be really cool. Jen x http://hybridsport.se/

Yey - training has started!

Woop Woop! She is on the go!! My new years resolution was to get out of the office by the latest 6pm, and so far - so so.. but what I have managed this last week is to train every other day. I am really glad that I got the time. Lots of people say that its just to make the time, and I wish it worked like that. I cant really plan my day like that, and so says most of us in our office. Our current workload is a bit high, yes, and we are all that loyal that we stay until its done, and that is omething we are proud of and that makes us strong. And that has taken us places , too. So, I will keep this up for next week, every other day this body will work hard! Remember I told you about the PT to-be? The morning after I wrote that, he contacted me and wondered if it was time to get going. Isnt that a bit funny? So I am trying to make next week the first week of our life :) gosh, its posh! but I will soon have my own PT, and I will have to work my ass off, and Im scared! In a good way. He...
