So it is hard to believe that 25% of the year is over…the time is going by so fast!<\/p>\n
So February was a definitely a crazy month, but thankfully March got a lot better. For some reason there was much more to do in March, but I was able to organise it and structure it in a good way so that I wasn’t spending late nights at the office or driving myself crazy.<\/p>\n
In terms of my family, the communication has tapered off a bit, but still going and that is a good thing. One of my sisters was admitted to the hospital (I thought I would have to make an emergency trip back to the US), but she is okay and on the mend so that is a good thing and I feel blessed that nothing happened to her. As I get older, I start to understand the value of family in a way that I was unable to measure it before. It took going back to the US last year to realise how lucky I am to have a strong and loving family backbone. An intangible and immeasurable safety net of support underneath me.<\/p>\n
I made a visit to Berlin in March and that was a fantastic time, even if I didn’t get to do everything I wanted to do. It was still nice to get out of Stockholm for a weekend. I didn’t take any pictures as I didn’t do any siteseeing, just shopping for things like clothes that are 25% or more cheaper in Germany than in Stockholm.<\/p>\n
I also managed to keep my commitment to going to the gym a minimum of 3 times a week (I went 5 times a week for every week but one due to travel). So I feel really good about that. I made a goal for myself of losing 1kg (2,2 lbs) a week for the first 13 weeks of this year. I have 3 days until this week is over and it seems like I will make 12kg. I could do the other 1kg, but it would just be based off of tricks like dehydration, starvation, and not safe real loss. So based off of these results, I am going set another aggressive goal for the next 13 weeks and keep motivated, especially as now I can see that the influx of New Year Resolution People at the gym has tapered off and now the machines have more availability and the classes are not as full.<\/p>\n
As we head into April, I wish everyone a fantastic month and rest of the year ahead. And if any of you have suggestions on where I should spent my summer holidays, feel free to share!<\/p>\n
