Working out

Someone has said that it's the easiest and hardest to start working out. I think this is true, first you go excited working out for the first week and feel the endorphins and the feeling of doing something. Then the first obstacle comes in to part. If you start doing everything with to much weight then your body can stand it's gonna hurt. This is one of the reasons why people probably stop working out. "What is the point when everything hurts and I can't even move". But that's just your own fault. That's why it's important to start with less and try carefully in the beginning to find ones place. I went to the gym and remembered what i've had before as weights on different machines, and I can inform you that it wasn't as easy as the last time. But it's gonna get better and thats important.

 Something that is also important when doing sports or working out is to make goals for oneself. Without these it's hard to motivate one to keep on going to the gym. And don't do a goal thats just one big one it's even more important to have goals along the way to see the progress. Thats why i'm making goals for myself also and it's good to write them down so you can read them and so you can say that you have promised to do them for yourself.

Motivation

So it's raining and i'm gonna get so wet when I take myself to the gym. But I don't care because i'm motivated to go and do the workout. I was pretty pleased with my effort yesterday when I went to the gym for the first time here in Norway. The fact is that the more you go the easier it's gonna get, and at some point the need of going is gonna get even higher then not going. I also purchased more "gym food" with more protein that is important when working out. When having everything at home when training out you really can't blame it on anything else than yourself if something doesn't work out. NEVER QUIT.

Finally

So the healthy good life starts once again. I haven't been to the gym as I mentioned in the previous post BUT today I will finally do it. So now I promise myself that i'm gonna get in shape. As the Nike slogan says it good "Just do it". 

Käsittämätöntä

Valitettavasti on ihmisiä jotka ei mitään osaa, mutta välillä ihmettelen kyllä tehdäänkö meistä vielä tyhmempiä kun oikeasti olemme? Vuoden alussa nimittäin oli uutinen valmiiksi paistetusta jauhelihasta jonka oli tehnyt Wursti niminen yhtiö. Silloin ajattelin itsekseni että tästäkö tämä hulluus nyt sitten ottaa vauhtia. Onneksi ei vähään aikaan kuulunut mitään, mutta tänään sitten tuli uusi tempaus, nimittäin valmiiksi paistettu munakas. Hauskaahan tässä oli se että IS toimittajien mukaan munakas maistui kinkku-mikropizzalle. Tämän hienon uutuuden oli valmistanut HK. Nojoo hauskuus sikseen mutta tämä on oikeasti minun mielestäni huolestuttavaa, yhtiöt vaikuttavat luulevan ihmisten olevan sen verran laiskoja että ei edes munakkaan tekeminen ole mahdollista. Itse pidän ruuan laitosta jonka takia en yhtään pidä valmisruuista. Mutta joku rajahan tähän on vedettävä jos ruokahyllyille alkaa tulemaan valmis paistettu jauheliha sekä paistettu munakas. 

Being sick

I don't like being sick. Normally I don't even get that usually sick, it's only once a year it happens. So now when i've been sick already two times in Norway I think it's enough. I was really waiting for this day to go to the gym for the first time in Norway but I still didn't feel good enough so I didn't go. But my promise to myself is to go this week and i'm gonna keep that promise. I like going to the gym, it's relaxing and when you start to see the difference in the weights and also your body that's when it really gets you motivated. My opinion is that it's important to have other stuff to think about then just the studying. If you only think about it it's not healthy in the long run. I've seen a lot of videos that are really motivating. So hopefully this is gonna inspire me once again to really start working out because it really makes a difference in your mood and life. I have been running in Norway but of course working out at the gym is a hole other thing. So no pain, no gain!

Social media

I have used different social media tools for almost 10 years already. My opinion is that they are a really good way to communicate with people and get information flowing, for example breaking news from the other side of the world. But of course the idea changes and the tools changes as in everything, and before for example when you only used the social media for talking with your friends, now you maybe also use it for informing what you bought from the store and maybe even what your opinion was about it. So as we know there's different social medias for different purposes for example: Facebook the most common, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Pinterest, YouTube and many more. The reason why I talked about all of this first, is the fact that I saw a YouTube clip yesterday where a women dances to her boss and informs him that she quits. The reason is that she doesn't see the point in working there anymore. And today I then  saw a counter clip from the company and the boss dancing to the exact same music trying to make it funny, and at the same time promoting that they are hiring people. 

And this is what the social media has become, in my opinion you can inform everyone about everything if you want. The important part is that you use it in a good way. So like in the video that i'm gonna post down I think that the girl made a good decision by doing this and informing how the company works. Because without this crazy stunt and the social media we would never had known.

Copenhagen

The trip to Copenhagen this weekend was so much fun! The boat left Oslo at 4:15 pm and the forecast for our trip was sunny. As I stated in my last post the boat trip took 18 hours one way. This meant that we would be in Copenhagen about 10 am. So we had a lot of time to spare before this, so we went to the tax-free to have a look what we could find. Something that was much cheaper then in Norway was both the beer, cider and the strong alcohol, at the same time the whine and the champagne was almost the same price as if you would have bought it from Norway. 

The next day at 9:45 am we arrived in Copenhagen and left the boat for 7 hours. We walked to the centre though there was a possibility to take the bus for free. But this wasn't a bad decision in my opinion, the sun was shining and it was pretty warm. So we took the route that went beside the water, and because of this we saw a lot of beautiful statues and buildings. We also saw the little mermaid but it was a challenge to get a good picture of me and the little mermaid in the picture because there where so much tourists climbing on it. Our next stop was at the canalboats we wanted to go but before that we needed to eat something. We were all really hungry and I was starting to get grumpy, so we went to the nearest McDonalds because the other food places didn't serve food at that time. When we were full and happy from the burgers, we then went back to the canalboats and took a one hour trip around Copenhagen, which was a nice thing and a possibility to see the city from a different perspective. After the canalboat sightseeing we just walked around and enjoyed the nice weather. At 3:30 pm we went back to the boat but this time we took the bus because we had all walked so much that nobody was in the mood to do it anymore. We came back to Oslo monday morning at 10. It was one of the nicest trips in a while with a lot of nice people and good memories! I recommend everyone to visit Copenhagen a really beautiful city.
