Back in Sweden I now need new goals and one of them is to reach 132 pounds (60 kg). I have tried several times....as so many of us have but I feel more motivated now. Last week I started to count kcal. In the beginning I will try to eat not more than 2000 kcal. It is hard because I realise that I eat more than that when I don’t count but it makes me very aware what I put in my mouth. I know that I am not overweight but I just want to se my kettle bell muscles.

My second goal is to run Lidingöloppet 25 September. I did run that race 2007 and the time then was 3 h and 25,50 min ( 30km, 48 miles). 20 km / week is my goal. www.lidingoloppet.se . This year I will try to run under 3 h and 10 min.

When i desided to go to US i did not know what to excpect. My tripp was an unwritten book. Three months sounded soooo long but we all know that time fly and it sertanly have. I am glad to be home and i feel very saticfied with my jurney. I have met so many nice people on this tripp and i realy like the peoples hospitality in the US. Someone called me " upptight Swedish girl" and i was thinking....is that what you think of us. I can understand his coment and i will try not to be that. 2 month hard training in Portland with Kettlebells,one week in Florida and three weeks coast to coast on my motorcycle. its alot to take in and now when i am home again it almost feel unreal and mabye it was a dream......

I have been thinking of doing a tatoo for such along time and I wanted to do one before I go home to Sweden. It’s a big thing and I wanted it to be a beautiful and feminine tattoo. I went to the tattoo studio next door from the Kettlebellgym and talked to them. Kene had time on Staurday so we made up an appointment and I told him what I wanted. I was not afraid of the pain, I was more afraid that Kene and I didn’t connect with what I wanted, but when I came back he had drawn a beautiful Flower tattoo with Stargate Lillys. It took us more than an hour to get it into the right position but as he sad “you have to be completely satisfied before I start because you are going to have it there for the rest of your life” ……..after that I took my time. I am real happy with the outcome. I LOVE IT!!!!!
