Too cold for kayaking

-12°C in the air and the ice growing on the lake. Besides that a cold wind is blowing onshore. So, too dangerous for kayaking unfortunately. But as I have to be in a good shape for the trip to Alaska this summer i go to the local gym, AK Björnen, 4-5 times a week.
My journey to a slimmer and more healthy life started exactly one year ago after a medical checkup that showed too high blood sugar level and a blood pressure that was getting too high. Now 2000 km kayaking later and many hours in the gym, walking, jogging  and swimming I am now in a very good condition. I also eat more healthy food but I'm not really dieting. Just a little bit less, no sugar or white bread. That's it!

I set small goals all the time; loose 5 kg, make 10 dips, lose another 5 kg, make 10 chins, and so on. One year ago I did only one (1) chin-up (chins) and in oktober I did five and set as a goal to do ten before June this year. Today I did it! Long before I had hoped to do it and it feels great.

2016 is hopefully going to be just as good as 2015 with a leaner and lighter body and a lot of nice adventures ahead. So, keep on checking my blog for updates on my nowadays very active life.

Me, autumn 2014. A fat old man!
