Soreness from Muay thai and breakfast with G

Posted on by Standard Reply

On friday I did my first Muay thai training for several months, with Gibi Muay thai, and what a training it was! Also a great proof of what kind of effort I have to put in to get to great shape. Me and my jump rope will soon be the best of friends… Haha… Today, my legs and “abs” are screaming from pain, its good to be alive!

Right now me and Gustavo are having breakfast at our favourite bakery, we also have many fans, well, to be honest it is Gustavo, “nossa, que lindo” (wow, cutie), well it is for me too since he has my face, right? Hahaha

On wednesday I am finishing of the remake of my tattoo, found a really great place too. Already considering the next…

Last, but not least, the reggae strategy with G works great. Bobby calms him down and he goes berserk to the Swedish reggae Kapten Röd. I am very pleased with this!

Have a great sunday everyone!!

Let’s get ready to ruuuuuumble!!

Did my first boxing session today, after only running sporadically for the last 4-5 months. Amazing how much energy is needed to first “give birth” to a company and thereafter Gustavo, well, I did not do much in the actual birth, just sidekicking and making sure everyone was great, but anyway. However, found a good gym close to the house and the first class was a real trigger. Funny enough the not-so-good movie, Rocky… hmm… 12 (??) was showing on TV during dinner. Rocky did some sort of a comeback and managed to take the usual beating without using his guard for 10 rounds against the undefeated champion with 30 KOs in a row. Haha… well, I do not see any parallell first of all, but its still funny. Also, a great proof of how some people never will realise just how pathetic it is to try to gain more from yesterdays success. Hey, and I still mean Rocky!!

But, still, great to be starting up again, this weeks free “tryout” of the gym will also include some gym training and than the treat of the week on friday, Muay Thai, psyked pra caramba!

So, lets try to improve ourselves just a little bit right? Box on!

We’re having lunch, Gustavo and myself. Today is “dia dos pais” (fathers day) in Brasil so of course we have to go out. Well, he is actually not eating, but anyway, great stuff!!

It is midnight after a warm Brasilian winters day, it is still about 20 degrees. Enjoying some of the golden things in life an are doing some reflecting.

My son, Gustavo, is almost 6 weeks, I see myself in him and feel the deep connection. The company is doing great, just landed a new project today. Life is good! Also really looking forward to the trip to Sweden in december, want to see my family and my friends of course.

But there is one thing missing.

My form is not good and I miss training so now the time has come to do something about that!

After all, life is standing on three main pillars, three legs; your relations (family, friends), your career and your health. I’ve been working hard on the first two.

However, being a great fan of equilibrio, balance, it is really simple. Life is about choices, focus, karma and about being the best person you can be. Not every day but most of them. I think it was Vince Lombardi that said:

Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s a all time thing! Winning is a habit!

Of course not everything is about winning but many things are. The greatest obstacle for winning, for being truly happy, for reaching your goals, are yourself. Each and every person on this planet are great and capable of remarkable things.

Well, perhaps some of the “golden things” is having some effect.. Hehe… but I still think we all need to allow ourselves to be this great, follow our dreams and, most of all try hard to be happy. In doing so we will also make them we care about happy.

So, lets really try ok?

Over and out, cheers and “skål och gutår” as we say in Sweden!
