Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

It’s my first salsa lesson after the summer break. As always, not having danced for months, my nerves are mixing with great anticipation. I take a few steps, one two, three…five, six, seven… I count for myself to the beat of the music. I need getting into the rhythm again, but after a few steps [...]

At 11 am, just as I was getting up to speed with work and started to make real progress on my ever growing action list, OnlineSalsa went down. In fact OnlineSalsa was not so online anymore and surely didn’t live up to its name. It’s been a nightmare, to get it back up and running, [...]

This is officially my last week of dieting. This would be the week I would reach my target weight of 52kg’s, my pre-pregnancy weight. It’s been a major goal for me since February. To loose almost 20 kg’s in less than 3 months. With a strict diet from Monday to Thursday (see previous post) and [...]

We didn’t launch our site last week as anticipated, but things are looking good for this week. We’ve been working hard on getting it live so with only approximately a day away from soft launch, I’m one happy and excited gal. But I also feel that working long hours, coupled with diet and training…and blogging [...]

I have reasons to be happy on at least two accounts. I slept for a whole 9 hours until 10 AM. It felt fantastic. When I woke up for one of the feedings at 8 in the morning I was just too tired to drag myself to the gym. Instead I went back to sleep [...]

Whoohoo! Finally I’m in the 50’s again i.e. I weigh 59.7 kg this morning. It’s a tedious path but the weight loss motivates me even further. I have a found a great formula for loosing weight gradually that actually works. So far I have lost almost 2kg’s per week and now, 5 weeks after birth [...]

I just came home from my first session with my personal trainer. It was an intake lesson to evaluate my condition and the type of exercises that would be suitable. After one lesson I’m sold! So plan is to do this once a week in addition to my regular three sessions I have at the [...]

WOW! Sebastian was an angel last night sleeping for 6 hours. I couldn’t believe it and kept waking up listening for minutes until I heard a sign that he was still alive and breathing. But my peace was short lived as Victoria woke me up in the middle of the night complaining that she couldn’t [...]

Yesterday was my first day at the gym again. I had longed for this moment since last year when I had to stop due to a long lasting flu. I was convinced it would be a hard and tedious uphill battle but in fact it wasn’t. I did 30 minutes cross training, speeding up quite [...]

Reinout woke me up this morning, which was just as well as my chest was literally bursting and Sebastian was hungry. He then made me a banana shake and coffee for breakfast. As I was sitting in bed, reading and then writing, Reinout started dropping hints about being ready at 10 am. Ready for what [...]
