Endorfins

I am sitting here right now, still high on the endorfins I got from working out earlier today. I am really starting to enjoy going to the gym lately, hit the treadmill and pump some iron. Today I made my first goal wich is to run 5 km (3,2 miles) under 30 minutes. I made it even faster than planned 29,5 minutes. Yeehaa for Josefine, I am so proud of myself. Somehow I lifted weights for a whole hour afterwards too (Bart and I got to go together today since my sisters were kind enough to babysit Noah for us). For some people you might think that 5 km is a piece of cake, but for me being barely able to run for 5 minutes 2 months ago, this is a major accomplishment! Weight-wise not much is happening right now, I guess it's because I am getting so buff ;). But I feel the energy flowing, a lot happier and I think I can blame it on the endorfins! The picture above is the skinny Jojo, watch out, I am soon that fierce again!

Update!

For Valentin's day Bart and I went to a spa. First we had a bath in a nice hut tub with lots of smelly oils and salt. We got some champagne and chocolate, nice realxing music was playing in the background and we just got to wind down before our treatment. Nice! After 45 minutes or so we got some OJ to cool down with and than we had about an hour of full body massages, including hand- and foot scrub and a face mask. How wounderful wasn't this? We have never treated ourselfs to something like this before, but now we are both hooked! It was nice of my sisters to take care of Noah for us so we were able to do this, especially now since Bart is going ti the US soon.

Our little helper Noah is gladly helping us out with the dishes. He is starting to climb as you can see and is walking so good with the walking waggon. He got his 3rd tooth a couple of days ago, now it's the top front tooth's turn to make it's debut. It's a joy everytime those little guys wants to come out! We celebrated Noah's 8 month day on the 15th! I can't belive he's already 8 months, Big boy!

I took a picture of our fruit bowl today. I just wanted you guys to see what it contains: Ginger, lemon, oranges and some bananas. I't for our morning drinks! Maybe a little unusual fruitbowl?

Noah likes the cheerios we let him try today! This is something all American kids are brought up on so we thought Noah had to try them.

Look how he concentrates grabbing the little circles. It kept him busy for a while so that we could eat dinner atleast ;)

Grabbing it so good, practicing the finger-thumb grip ;)

Jenny and David won

This saturday we finally found out that they won the trip to the Spannish island of Mallorca woth 2.000 dollars. I am soooooo happy for them, they are definetly worth this trip. I knew it though, all the time. Her poem was the best. When they announced it, of course I balled my eyes out. Look how happy they are.

This brings a smile to my face...

I bet you will smile too!

Noah 8 months check-up!

Today Noah went to his 8 month check-up and now he measures 75 cm (29,5 in) tall and wheighs 10,5 kg (23,5 lbs). Way to go Noah, our big boy! He is just a little sunshine our bundle of joy! Already 8 moths old! Everyday he is making us so happy with his smiles, looks and personality. Having said that, he is just a handful, crawling and being WILD from sun up untill sun down. He doesn't like to get dressed any more and usually 1 person has to hold him down while the other one changes him. Sometimes he is getting bored just sitting in your lap as well, spinning and turning just to be able to get away. He is stubborn, that's for sure; Josefine's and Bart's stubborness in one, OH MY! But he is so sweet, and makes you melt just by looking at him. He is cute in his new eco-friendly outfit from PO.P too, something that mommy couldn't resist eventhough it's kind of pricy ;)

Viva Espania!

My sister just entered this competition in the local newspaper. She wrote a love poem (klick on the link and go to the bottom of page 8) about her soul mate David since it's Valentince Day comming up. The winner gets a trip to the spannish island of Mallorca. They got chosen to go on and the poem got published together with a fierce competition (NOT!) Now I just want everybody out there to send them all the best of luck, keep your thumbs and toes crossed so that they can win this trip that they so deserve. Remember that the power of the mind is stronger than you think and can do things that you have never thought possible ;)

Mommy darling

This is a real momma's boy with his new PJ that he got from Lasse's mom Britta. I just love my little superman!

Follow your dreams!

Your life holds for you endless possiblilities. Keep sight always of what is important...

True happiness and purpose will be found in relationship. The bond we have are everlasting/ Poem taken from my coffee cup by unknown

I am the biggest loser

FYI: I have now lost 4,9 kg (almost 11 lbs) in 3 weeks. Yes, you heard right, 3 weeks! That is my 5% mini goal already! I am really doing good in the gym and starting to feel like I am addicted to working out ;) Today I ran 4,5 km (3 miles) in 30 minutes and after that about 45 minutes of weight lifting. My jeans are already fitting alot better, but the biggest change is my self esteem and my energy level which is a lot higher. Way to go Jojo! Beach 2010, here I come!

Cousin fun

Jenny took care of Noah for us today so Bart and I could go to the mall. They are always playing so good together as you can see. Noah is pushing Milo around in the walking waggon and they are always trying to grabb eachothers toys. When they are together they are so good and content. So adorable!

Boys are so fun...

Noah is getting better every day. He is very proud as you can tell! Noah and Milo both has the rythm in their little body's, look how cute they are!

Look, I just took my first steps all by my self...

or at least with the help of my walker waggon. I just want to add that I am only 7,5 months old so ya'll should be proud of me!
