This week we have started new healthy habits, such as more exercise, more fruit and vegetables and less beer and wine. It feels really good! But we were immediately put to the test with some events. It shouldn't be too easy ...
New healthy habits
The best thing this week is that we have started new healthy habits. There is (sparkling) water with the food and we have bought lots of fruit and vegetables. Peter walks with me to work as usual, but is now jogging a longer route home, perhaps through the neighbourhood. Karlberg Castle Park. In the evenings we run training programmes in front of the TV on the lower deck of the houseboat. It really feels great to be up and running now!
And some events ...
It's great to stick to the new habits when we're at home, but it's even more difficult when we're away at events. Last Tuesday was the 40th anniversary of the journalists' association where we're involved (with sandwich cake and wine) and yesterday Peter was invited to the premiere of a new and very popular film. very special restaurant here in Stockholm. It's not at all easy to have good habits when you're away at these events ... We try to think a little bit when we're away on the galley - but above all, we focus on sticking to the good habits here at home.
The week ahead
What happens next week on FREEDOMtravel? We still have several interesting things left to write about from our trip to Sharm el Sheikh - including food in Egypt! Perhaps Peter would also like to tell you about the visit to that very special restaurant in Stockholm? It is also possible that there will be some discussion about Austria, about the preparations for the the camping cruise and about some other things. Hope to hear from you during the week! Now we want to hear about your week ... what can you highlight as positive?
We conclude with two photos from the marina this week!

The rainbow was absolutely fantastic really! 🙂 Would have liked to back up even more so I got the whole thing, but then I would have had to back out into the water, haha 😉 .

Good job with the training!!! Would have to follow your training programme after too much sedentary and many "sundowners" in the Caribbean 🙂 .

Think your new habits will be great. Then eating and drinking moderately at events and parties is certainly not dangerous. (It is not what you eat between Christmas and New Year that sits around the waist but what you eat between New Year and Christmas).
We've actually also bought a five-month gym membership, so now my arthritic knee will know it's alive and a few more healthy habits will follow....

So wise! Good luck with your training!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, I have been taught, then I add another splash of apple cider vinegar and a spoonful of honey every day. We have probably been doing this for twenty-five years or more. Neither is practically ever sick.
Finally, what pictures you have posted! Fantastically beautiful!

Helena says:
Let's hope the apples have that effect! ?? And thank you, glad you like the pictures!

What pictures, especially the last two. The photo with the rainbow is outstanding - wow1
Then I laughed at your fruit platters. I wonder if you get everything or if you have to throw half of it away. After all, you are only two people, and we would never manage to eat all these fruits before they rot;-)

Helena says:
Not so often you see a whole rainbow like that! And the fruit, haha, we're working on it! ?

Go for it!
The funniest thing this week is that I became an aunt. Otherwise, a boring week that we hopefully top with the last motorhome trip of the year tomorrow.

You are so awesome!
Have you ever tried red tea? Ever since I started using http://tiny.cc/redtea-detox I've got so much more energy, feel free to write about it if you've tried it!

Ama de casa says:
WOW!!! Truly an incredible picture of the rainbow! You didn't steal the gold, did you? I'm on the hunt for it too, but right now those beautiful clues are in short supply... 😉.
The best part of the week was probably just yesterday - I like to celebrate my birthday 😀.
