The menu on board

Soon after departing from Amsterdam and the seat light got turned off, we got served dinner. You could choice between Chinese or Pasta.

Without any hesitation I chose Chinese meal, and it tasted ....good?! To my surprise. I am no doubt picky on my food, and airplane food have NEVER Ever been something I have been looking forward to eat, and as long I can remember, I have hated it since I was a brat.

But for the first time in my life, I got a WOW moment. After the realization I was suddenly famished, and as the Lady I am not, I bucket in everything on my "plate" which consisted of three course dinner, Peking duck and pancakes, Yu Xiang chicken with broccoli and rice, and Framboisier (raspberry pâtisserie).

I am now looking forward to our next meal, breakfast <3

The hardest part of the journey

We are now at the final step of the journey before we reach our destination, but it's also the hardest and most abrasive part of our traveling. Our flight time from Amsterdam to Hong Kong is 11 hours. We are going to fucking spend fucking 11 fucking hours in this fucking plane. If that isn't the hardest part I don't know what it then.

Luckily each of us have a mini screen in front of us where we can see the flight information or keep us self entertain by playing games, watch movies or listen to music/radio, look at the menu for dinner and breakfast or even take some beginner language courses (think it's for children).

From Amsterdam to Hong Kong

Looks like we are on time.

We have already waited in 3 hours and we can see our plane docking to our gate.

I think we will be departing without any delay....that is, if I didn't just jinx myself now... anyway, let the hard part start!

Starting our journey to the East

Finally my long awaited vacation is here! Heading to China, Hong Kong for 11 days, and then Thailand, Phuket for 7 days.

The journey itself is not too bad, but with all the waiting and boarding at airports, and not least the time difference, this will indeed be exhausting and boring till we arrive our final destination. 

For now, we will depart from Trondheim to Amsterdam at 17.15, and then hopefully 4 hours and 30 minutes later, we will depart from Amsterdam to Hong Kong. 

Our taxi to airport arrives around 15'ish... best to get ready <3

Keeping up!

In late December 2012, I started to notice improvement in my exercises, so much that my current workout plan doesn't give me any challenge anymore.

After talked with my coach about the issue and wanting a new plan, he was not entirely convinced because of the surgery I had, and didn't want to rush things. After much ado it ended with he won't give me a new plan, but he will upgrade the current plan where I can run faster and lift little more heavier, only if the doctor approved of it.

After a health check with my doctor, and got approval to the upgrade, I can now speed up from 8.5 to 10,0 km/h in 24 minutes, however the incline is the same as before.

Following by 5 sets and 10 repetitions, instead of 3x10:

• Leg pres from 60 kg to 80 kg
• Leg curl from 12,5 kg to 35 kg
• Stomach from 35 kg to 55 kg
• Seated rowing from 15 kg to 25 kg
• Chest pres from 15 kg to 25 kg
• Pull down from 20 kg to 35 kg
• PecDec from 12,5 kg to 25 kg
• Stretch lower back on the bench from 3x10 with 0 kg to 5x10 with 10 kg

So if this continues, then I think that I may be straightforward in-shape again in no time. However, it's almost a shame that I'm going to Asia for almost 3 weeks soon, destroying the fine rhythm and habit... Hopefully I will not be completely out of shape after the vacation.

18 days in Asia

From 05. March to 23. March 2013, I will be in Asia, there the travel destination is China, Hong Kong for family and relatives in 11 days and then 7 days in Thailand, Phuket for just fun and a well deserved vacation.

Never been to Thailand before, so really excited and looking forward to that. Planing to take the scuba dive license for Open Water. Much cheaper to take the course there than here in Norway.

I can feel the need of this vacation. The past year has been filled with so many changes and challenges. Once the plane have taken off, I'm gonna leave my worries behind, and I am gonna renew my spirit and give my mind and body the needed breaks from everyday stress.

Shitty school caferteria

Had nothing good to eat at school, and it feels like the cafeteria is getting worse for everyday. Didn't had time for breakfast either, feels like I am being put on a forced diet.

And just to put the icing on the cake, the stomach decided to go rampage. Just to remark me how unhappy it is.

....

ARGH! Sooo HUNGRYyyyyyy!
