Health and exercise

Today has, more or less, been devoted to training. It takes so much time, but it makes me feel so good. It is worth it. Exercise has so many positive effects on health. I should re-read some about the HPA axis, cortisol levels and catecholamines, but not now. That is a very complex hormonal balance, but so important for the body. And also for eg hippocampal (memory) circuits in the brain.

I reveled before that I don’t weigh myself very often. I more see to if my clothes fit or not. When that extra waist centimetre occurs. Then I know I need to do something. However, now I have more time since I am almost done with my book. I need exercise to be able to write and it is a very delicate balance. I have learnt so much by writing, even though I have written before. A whole new world has occurred to me, and it has been very developing at a personal level.

Today, I finally found some information about the inflammation I had some time ago. I did a test where my running was recorded and analysed. There is nothing wrong with my shoes and I am so happy about that. What I have to do is to practice my “steps” when I run. To push my hips more forward. I learnt a lot and I got a very good take home message how to run.

Soon, there will be a little change here where I write. This page needs a new look. To be refreshed. By these words I wish you a happy halloween. My trick or treat tonight is tea with honey and lemon. And good reading.

Darkness and rain

It was such a sudden change when wintertime arrived. Dark and so cold. And in addition, yesterday, I saw the very first snow. It is just to get used to it. I like snow, but just not now. I have to get used to the thought first, then I can enjoy winter.

I am back to work and no more vacation for some time. This means I will not write so often here. So, only a few words tonight. To say hi.

Sunday and chillier wintertime

This is my last day, and tomorrow I have no more days off. As I wrote previously I have been rather occupied with writing and preparing the last details of my book and poetry. This has been a long journey, and my writing here is in a way also incorporated into what I have written. And my voyages as well.

Sometimes I understand now what I have written, I have to interpret myself. And I am so glad that I have written something new. I leave my old dissertation. During these years I have thought of people I have met throughout life. And I have dedicated this book to friends. New and old friends. I have a little something I will show later that illustrates what I mean.

Now I am about to prepare for dinner with my colleagues. We will have South American food at a restaurant. This evening will be Spanish and South American inspired. Yesterday, I got som help from my Spanish friends how to make a good tortilla. I have changed pharmacy, and that means new colleagues but I still work for the same pharmacy chain. However, of course I miss my former colleagues.

Enjoy your new Sunday wintertime.
