Intense craving

Some days I'm just not controllable. Today is one of those days. I simply HAD TO have candy! I bought "smågodt" at the supermarket, and for a very good reason that always reminds me of my friend Lene. She is extremely fit, and when you see her you wouldn't think she ever ate anything unhealthy. However, if she is anything like she used to - she has a dessert stomach reserved for "smågodt"! Currently she works as the International Education Specalist in the Norwegian fitness company "The Corebar". Check out her blog.

Beautiful girls! Berit, Ingrid and Alina at Credo. Created using "My sketch", an incredibly easy program to use.

The Credo Experience

Last night the host of the three day course I'm attending invited us all out for dinner. Fylkeslegen took us to no less than one of Trondheim's better restaurant, Credo.

Wow! Absolutely wonderful. The food, the wine, the ambience, my companions In sum: a great night out!

Girls in the city

Alina, who is finishing her internship program on the Island of Frøya, has become a really good friend over the last few months. We've been in medical school together for six years, but I have only known her by name. I slowly made her acquaintance while we worked in the department of surgery and internal medicine. However, when we got to the 4 month part of our program in psychiatry, we ended up sharing offices. After hours of chit chat enjoying ice cream in the sun, discussing academic issues as well as hair and clothes - we realized that we have a lot in common! As Frøya is half an hour from Hitra, we feel that we're "in it together". Being desentralized is easier when we have Tuesdays together, being the social highlight of the week!

This week we're participants at "Fylkeslegens turnuskurs", a three day course in Trondheim. It feels wonderful to be in the city; spa, hair dressers, hotel, fancy dinners.... Yup, we're shallow indeed... Besides, instead of arriving home late in the afternoon on Friday I'll be home early!

And last night at Britannia - Alina with her new hair do!

A happy moment

You know when you've been doing something for so long, and you're starting to feel that you're really just working in circles? When you've contemplated letting go and spend time on other aspects of life, but that doesn't quite suffice either? That's when you need to find an activity that lets you continue to work on your skills yet offers the extra challenge. Now where does this reasoning come from?

It's the conclusion I've come to after I've spent 14 years as a fitness instructor. I've taught cardio, dance and yoga in all kinds of variations as well as managed a two digit number of instructor trainings. Today I'm proud to say that I've added something new to my list. My work has been recognized and I'm going to present one of my group fitness classes at the NIH fitness convention in Oslo in November!

Together with me is Marit Anne, an awesome instructor who I actually got to know during one of the before mentioned instructor trainings! We're going to have a ball, and can't wait to team teach in front of the fitness professionals of Norway!
