Make progress or make excuses your choices
I am trying to make my legs bigger, not horse legs but big :) Ive got long way to go, but legs are the muscles in the body that grow faster than what you think, unless in my case. This summer i am getting a gym membership just to use the cardio machines in the morning and also the machines for leg workout, and im gonna kill it :)!!!
My suppmelents and vitamins for this month arrived today i am so happy :) I just need to buy extra vitamin E and C that is also good for skin.
- Bsn syntha-6 isolate red big bottle is the refill of my protein powder which is 100% Whey and Casein for muscle building.
- BCAA 1000caps are essential amino for support New Lean Mass Growth and Reduce Muscle Breakdown!. When doing cardio workout not only you burn calories and burn fat, but also burn the muscles that you need to build, if you are doing weighttraining, in my case i need these to prevent or reduce muscle breakdown.
- Opti-women Multivitamins it have 23 Vitamins and Essential Minerals. This multivitamin are great for those who are active. Everybody should take multivitamins because it is just impossible to get all the vitamins we need in the food we eat.
- Fish Oil Omega 3 the 4 benefits are healthier blood cholesterole, improved bone health, cancer protection and protection against mood disorder so its like happy pills :)
So this is all my supplements that i should take daily:
- BCAA 1000 caps - 2capsules/day 30-45minutes before workout and directly after working out.
- Thermotex - fatburning design for to burn bodyfat in the hardest area of the body and also gives you energy and focus and physical performance, its a Great for pre-workout. I took 1capsules 3x aday, but i just was wrong i should take minimum 2 capsules 3x a day 30 minutes before meals and exercise.
- Opti-women - 2 capsules/day with meal morning and lunch.
- Fish oil Omega 3 - 1-2capsules 3x a day with meal, i take only 1 capsules 3x a day to begin with.
- Bsn Syntha-6 isolate Protein powder i take between meals 2x a day.
I am a slow walker but i never walk backwards
My pink sandbag that i use alot, although it can only have 15kg sand in it, which i already have. I use it instead of barbell when doing squat, clean & press and other compound workout.
So did you do your workout today? Mine was upper body workout with 30sec of speed rope in every sets to burn more calories.
My goal this month is to build the lean muscles and bulk that legs a little bit. My favorite jeans are getting bigger for me and thats just cant happen because i am in size 36 or 8, i like good build legs and butt, no chicken legs here please!
I also bought my supplements for the month which is BCAA capsules for prevent muscle breakdown when doing cardio, Omega 3 fish oil, 900g of new BSN syntha 6-isolate in chocolate flavour and my multivitamin Opti women for fitness people ;). It should arrive tomorrow or within 48hours, cant wait.
//Ovan som jag bär med mig på bilden är min rosa sandbag som jag använder när jag behöver extra tyngre vikt, man kan endast ha 15kg vilket jag redan har och denna använder jag för att göra squats, clean & press och andra övning. Så istället för barbell använder jag denna.
Dagens träning var övre kropp delen med 30sec hopprep i varje sets.
Denna månadens mål är att bygga muskler och gör mina ben lite större. Jag märkte idag att mina favorit jeans verkar vara lite för lös på mig, det kan inte bara hända för jag har storlek 26/27, mindre än det går inte bara. Måste bygga ben muskler, ingen kyckling ben här inte.
Jag har också köpt mina kosttillskott som BCAA kapslar för att undvika musklenedbrytning. Gör man cardio bränner man inte bara kalorier men också musklerna som man behöver för att bygga muskler, men sjävklart beror det på hur många ggr och hur länge man gör cardioträning i veckan. Jag har också köpt Omega 3 fiskolja, jag hade jättemånga innan från Sverige men slängde den då innan jag började träna :(. Andra grejer som jag har köpt att påfyllning på min protein pulver i chokladsmak:) samt en multivitamin som heter OPTI women för fitness fanatik girls :)Längtar tills jag får de imorgon eller på torsdag.
Why workout in the gym, just to waste it on a bad diet?
Yerstedays workout upper body with some cardio. The longest workout ever!!! But it did felt good :)
My 4months workout progress
If i didnt have a few cheat meals where it happend that the last week of the month i could eat 2-3 Burger king meal the two first months i would have getting this results in shorter time. But i always go back on track. The last two months ive been pretty good with my diet when weekend comes. If i missed one workout i make sure i do it tomorrow and over weekend.
I have so much more to go, this is just the beginning of my progress. Ive done the cutting program and now i am going to do more strenghtraining so that it would be lean muscles in every angles, this is not my goal, strong is my goal!!
A lot of people in instagram asked me how did i do this the answer is:
- The first month i follow the Bodyrocktv online which is free intense workout for a short of time. They have new website now called dailyhiit.com. After just one week doing it i saw results instantly.
- The second month i follow Jennifer Nicole Lee circuit workout which is circuit training and between every strenghttraining training sets i did cardio workout for 30 sec such as jumping jacks, mountain climber, speed rope etc.
- The third month i did my own workout routine ( i did a lot of research) my workout routine was 3-4x a week cardio workout and 5x a week strenghttraining, but i divided every muscle groups. Like 3 muscle groups every day. In this month i drop weight then from 60-56 now i am 54-55kg.
- The 4th month i did mostly strenghttraining and once a week cardio and barely abs workout. But u can still see that my abs are sorts of tight because i did a little bit of planking and i always pull it in during every workout and ofcourse CLEAN EATING, ABS IS MADE IN THE KITCHEN!!!
It is very important to change your workout routine atleast every month so that the muscles and the body wont get use to it. For example you would not lift the same weight all the time to get results, because the muscles already perform that weight for 4 weeks and it know that its the same weight and workout every time. So to see results it is important to change your workout routine. If you lift 4kg doing barbell curls, then next month add one more kilo or two and do less reps. The last 2-3reps should take all your strenght, if you cant lift more than 7reps instead of 8-12 then you should take less weight. If you can lift more than 8-12 reps then you have to light weight, increase it and so on.
Not every workout works for every one and not every diet works for everyone aswell. I think it is very important before starting to workout if you never done it before to do research and find the best workout for you, unless u got a personal trainer or someone who know. Not at the right time you find the perfect workout right away, there gonna be some days you perform bad or wrong, so i always suggest to do workout in front of the mirror. In that way you can check your body poisture. It is important to do it right, its not about doing it as fast as possible when it comes to weight lifting its about slow and feel the constractions of the muscles. If you dont feel it then you do it wrong. Just find the technique!
The highlights of my progress are: MY 13 GOLDEN RULES.
- Diet ( i dont call it diet because diet is for a short of time, this is for always)- Diet is no.1 and the most important. You can do thousands of crunches, run every day, do streghnt training, BUT if you dont eat right you wont see results. It is also important to feed your body right before and after workout so called THE PRE AND POST WORKOUT MEAL WHICH IS = MINIMUM 22G OF PROTEIN + FAST AND SLOW CARBS AND HEALTHY FATS LIKE ALMONDS OR PEANUT. What you eat before workout is as important of what you eat after workout. This is only if you are doing weight lifting.
- Drink a lot of water - i know people say that you should drink minimum 2liter or something and above that is dangerous for your health etc. but if you ask any person who workout they gonna say drink minimum 3liter water per day. I dont mean drink it all up, drink little by little. The more your workout the more water you need to drink. I drink 3liter water per day and NO its not dangerous.
- Eat small meal 5-6x a day- along with diet it is important to eat every 2-3hours, smal meal but more often rather than big meal and only 3x a day. And also it is important to eat the first hour you wake up in the morning to jump the metabolism not after. I use a timer on my phone, after i ate my breakfast i set the timer 3hours and when it ring its time to eat the snack. I do this because i wake up different hours every day and this to make sure that i eat every 2-3hours.
- Count calories - to lose fat youve got to know how much is your BMR which means how much is your daily calorie intake when its at rest, how much it burns. Our body works all the time even at rest or sitting and it burns calorie without working out. To lose fat youve got to cut down your calorie intake combine with workout. If your daily calorie intake is 1800 a day then try to eat 500 less calorie and then workout for best results. Its about calorie in and out. Many people think that because its healthy food it means you can eat how much as you want with it, but thats not the way it works. If you usually eat 600 calories per meal and you start to eat healthy but because its "healthy" you eat more, cos its low calorie anyway, but if you sum it up you probably ate more than 600 calories. So it is important to count it. I use Shape up app on my phone and i add every ingredients on my meal to see how much calorie it contains.
- Low carbs after lunch - means replace the brown rice with vegetables when you eat dinner. Because you are going to sleep and our body dont need that energy while at rest, so if you eat high carbs it will RESTORE AS FAT in your body. It wont burn trust me.
- Dont eat 3 hours before bed - It takes 3 hours for the food to proper digest in your stomach, if you dont want them to store as fat then dont eat 3 hours before bed or stay awake until it pass 3 hours.
- Supplements & multivatimins - take supplements like Protein powder, protein is very important, did you know that people who dont eat enough protein look more older than they usually are? Protein is good for building those lean muscles. Multivitamins is important too, because it is impossible to get vitamins of all the food we eat.
- Stay away from alcohol and junk food - Dont go to party if you know you are going to drink alchohol and dont meet friends for dinner or coffe.
- Always bring snacks with you - when you are out for long hours make sure you have snacks with you, so that you wont go to Mcdonald and buy burger when you are hungry.
- Cheat meals is two steps further from your workout progress. If you cheat do it once a week like your favorite food for lunch, but that doesnt mean you eat cheat for 24 hours .
- Focus more on strenghttraining than cardio - cardio help you burn fat for sure, but too much cardio well not only burn fat but also the muscles that you need to build those lean muscles. Strenghttraining reshape your body to whatever you want it to be, cardio only makes you look thin and out of shape.
- KNow your fitness goal - Before working out put a picture in front of you, of what you want to look like what you want to achieve. Alot of people workout without knowing their goals. You need to know what is your fitness goals, in that way you can do the right workout to reach it.
- One day at at time - Dont skip a workout, if you do it the next day. Workout one day at a time, slow progress is a progress. Dont overtrain and dont rush for seeing results. It took you years or months to have the body you have now, it wont change in a week either.
And remember, believe in yourself, work hard, never give up you will achieve. We all have the same 24 hours make the time!! AND NO EXCUSES!!
Say no to cheat meal
I did my HIIT cardio of 25mins additional 5 minutes warm up and then some abs workout, focusing on planking.
This end of the week ill have to check my workout progress because its my 4th month already??!! That means i have to measure my body parts and add it in my log. My progress is not that good since i have few cheat days which is not good. Cheat meal is A NO NO, because it just push u further from your workout goals. Thats why so many people these days working out for a year and dont have so big progress because of cheat meal eating. No matter what other people say, your friends, family, people surround you HAVE TO say NO to cheat meal and think about it and about this ONE CHEAT MEAL IS TWO STEPS FURTHER from your workout progress, now would you go back two steps further or would you be one step closer? Make the right choices!. If people ask a lot of questions which they will do, just say no and you dont have to explain yourself, its your choice and be happy with it, as a matter of fact be proud with it. Only those people you are dedicated to working out and being healthy are those who have the understanding of good diet and good workout. Not many around you will understand, but who give a damn do your own thing, life is to short to care about what other else think about you, and live for your own pleasure dont live for the pleasure of other. Dont reward yourself ever with your favorite food because of the hardwork you been doing. People are going to talk alot, peolple will tempt you with many things, say NO because they aint the one who will work out for you later. They aint the one who are going to feel bad about it. You will be THE ONE that have to burn it off by cardio, and lift those heavy weights, i mean would you work harder just because of the pizza you just ate?? How about skip the pizza, skip the beer and you are one step closer to your goal. SImple as that!
How to avoid cheating meal?
- Dont have that kind of food that is not belongs to your eating clean around you, throw them and dont even buy them!
- Prepare your food every sunday night your lunch for the whole week and your dinner.
- Think that what you crave right now is just mental, overcome it!
- One cheat meal is ok? No its NOT OK!
- Dont let others opinion control you.
- if you really crave for something really bad, try to find a healthier version, Such as pizza you can make a healthier pizza at home.
- Dont go out to party, if you know that you are going to drink.
- Dont meet your friends over a cofe or over a dinner.
- Dont buy food when you are hungry.
- Prioritize your eating clean first!
Shape your body with weightlifting

// Idag var det Nedre kroppens som jag tränade med några magträning. Min magträning varierar lite med försöker träna de 3-4vggr i veckan som måndag, tisdag, onsdag och torsdag. Jag väljer tre av det olika magträning ovan förutom plank som jag gör varje gång jag tränar magen som gör magmuskler starkare.
Jag tränar inte sidmagen frö att jag vill inte få de där fyrkantiga midja som många har, så jag försöker träna alla magmuskler speciellt nedremagen. Och självklart drar jag alltid in magen när jag gör vilken träning som helst.

Lower body today i dont like the chest workout, but i did it anyway, no excuse right? I think my favorite workout for upper body is the triceps, i find it fun specially the tricep dips. I love working out my biceps too and my back but one arm is always weaker than the other one. I use around 6kg weight and did less reps 8-12 mostly between 10-12 because the more it weights the less weight, since i do it for build and streghnt. My brother told me to do it, so i did it and it took alot of my energy lol, otherwise i did 3kg but ofcourse you should challenge yourself so the last 3 reps is taking all your streghnt if not the muscles wont grow.
What is your favorite upper body workout?
// Gjorde hela övre kroppens träning idag, heter det så? Jag gillar inte träna brösten, men gjorde det ändå. Jag tror att min favorit övning är triceps, tycker det är roligt speciellt tricep dips :). Jag gillar träna biceps också men ena armen är alltid svagare än det andra. Använde 6kg hantlar varje arm och gjorde mindre repetition mellan 8-12 eftersom ju tyngre ju mindre repetition man ska göra och självklart 3 runda. Brorsan sa att jag ska träna tyngre, man måste utmana sig själv, och det tre sista repetition ska ta hela din kraft och styrka, är det för lätt så ska man öka vikten. Eftersom jag tränar för att bygga fina muskler och för styrka så är det viktigt att lyfta tyngre vikt. Jag använde 3kg innan, hade jag forsatt lyfta 3kg så hade inte musklerna växt och förmodligen stannat som den är.
Vad är eran favorit övrekropp träning??
My upper body workout for 6 weeks: Doing any workout make sure you have THE RIGHT POISTURE STRAIGHT BACK AND DO THE WORKOUT RIGHT, TIPS IS WORKING OUT IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR IN THAT WAY YOU CAN CHECK IF YOU ARE DOIN IT RIGHT!!!
Clean & press with my pink sandbag of 15kg 3x12-15 (shoulders)
Dumbbell press 3x8-12 6kg (shoulders)
Alternate front raises 3x8-12 3kg (shoulders)
Bent over row 3x12
with exactly the same pink sandbag that she has 15kg ( i love this workout for Back)
The sandbag i am using you can only put up to 15kg sand, so i need to use something that weight more than that.
One arm dumbbell row on bench 3x12 6kg ( Back)
Hyperextenions with my pink stability ball like above 3x12-15 Bodyweight ( Lower back)
I like this but sometimes feel so awkward specially if you are a girl, it feels like period pain on the lower stomach performing this :S..
Alternate dumbbell curl 4-5kg 3x8-12 ( Biceps)
Alternate hammer curls 3x8-12 4-5kg (Biceps)
Concentration curls 3x8-12 4-5kg (Biceps)
my other arm is weaker doing this :S..just like my other legs.
Tricep dips 3x15-20 ( Triceps) I love this workout :)
Tricep kickbacks 3x8-12 4-5kg ( Triceps) Love this too!!
Tricep extensions 3x8-12 4-5kg ( Triceps)
Push up 3x12(chest/arms)
I find this really hard lifting my whole body omg!! Still working on it
Chest press 3x12 5kg
(chest) Its like Push up but reverse, although so much easier and fun :)
Chest flyes 3x12 3kg (chest) really awkward!
So this is all my upper body workout that i do monday and thursday. It takes me about 1hr and 30mins to perform all of this with 30sec rest between sets. Every workout i do 3 rounds before continue to the next. And i also burn over 600calories, cause who say you dont burn doing weightlifting??! U dont have to sweat like a pig to burn more calories, trust me!! If yes we would be sweating all day just by sitting.
Ill be doing this exercises for 6 weeks and then i change to new workouts, heavier weights and less reps. It is important to change every month atleast, so the muscles dont get use to do the same workout and lift the same weight for best results.
// Det här är mina träning för övrekroppen som jag gör måndagar och torsdagar. Det tar mig ca 1timme och 30mins att göra allt detta. Jag gör en övning i tagit och vilar 30sek i mellan tills jag går över till nästa övning. Jag brukar bränna över 600 kalorier när jag gör detta, för vem säger att styrketräning inte bränner kalorier?? Man måste inte svetta som en gris för att bränna massa kalorier, tro mig! Annars har vi redan svettat så mycket genom att bara sitta. JAg kommer att göra dem här övningar i 6veckor, sen betyder jag till andra olika övningar, gör tyngre vikt och mindre repetitioner. Man ska byta varje månad minst för att musklerna inte ska vänja sig lyfta samma vikt och göra samma övningar för det bästa resultat.
Let go of the things that make you feel dead, life is worth living
The cold i felt when i went out with the dogs! The winter jacket that is from Sweden is getting thinner every time i go out??! I can feel the air coming through.
// Kylan som jag kände när jag gick ut med hundarna. Vinter jackan som är från Sverige känns tunnare varje gång jag går ut?! Jag känner den kalla luften gå igenom den ..what??`
Remind yourself that it is ok not to be perfect
My pain maybe the reason for somebody's laugh,
but my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.

Sorry guys!
I havent been able to do a blogpost yersterday because they cut our internet. I forgot to pay, but now is paid so it is working again.
The weather yersterday was amazing warm, very beautiful, but today it is the opposite. It is cold, cloudy and windy. It makes me so depress. I havent done anything yersterday than my usual routine.
Today we went to refill the frigde with some meats. When it is empty that means the end of the month already. We always buy huge groceries so we dont have to go back and forth every week. Well it is a good sign when the the frigde is empty because then we know we are in the end of the month, it means also study allowance or salary for others. Although i dont like it when time goes so fast.
// Ursäkta har inte kunnat blogga, vi hade ingen internet för att jag glömnde att betala. Men nu har jag betalat så vi har internet igen.
Igår var det så fint väder, varmt, soligt, men idag är det tvärtom. Det är super kallt, molningt samt lite blåsigt. Det gör mig depping. Gjorde inget speciellt igår än mina dagliga rutiner.
Idag gick vi till affären för att fylla på kylskåpet med lite kött, för annars brukar vi handla stort sista veckan i månaden, så när det helt tomt i kylen och skafferiet betyder det att det är redan slutet av månaden. Vilket är bra tecken för att då är det studiebidrag :)..hehehe eller lön för alla andra, dock gillar jag inte när månaden går för fort.
Work out like a beast, look like lady ;)
Finally i can seat after ive been working out, take out the dog, showered, eat, hang the clothes and vaccum the floor.
When i did my workout today i felt like strong and i saw that my biceps just grew like never before, i mean more than from friday. I feel pretty good. Then i did like triceps dips it felt like i could do so many sets forever without stopping lol.
It is very important that before start working out that we know what is our goal and what we want to achieve, so that we dont just do some workout without knowing how we want to look like. IF you want to build stregnht and get those lean muscles then you should lift more heavier weights and less reps, if you just want to get tone body with a soft touch of muscles very soft, then do light weight with higher reps. Since i want to build strenght and want to get get more than light touch of lean muscles i do heavier reps. What is your goal? Unless you just workout to be healthy.

// Äntligen fick man sitta efter man har tränat, gått ut med hundarna, duschat, ätit, hängt kläderna samt damsugat.
När jag gjorde min styrketräning idag kände jag mig starkt och såg att mina armar bara växte som aldrig förr, jämfört med i fredags. Det kändes helt otroligt! Sen gjorde jag lite triceps och kändes som att jag kunde göra flera sets utan paus för alltid..lol.
Det är väldigt viktigt att veta sitt mål när man ska träna och vad man vill åstadskomma, så att man inte bara tränar och tränar sen går man en annan väg för man vill egentligen bygga muskler fast man gör cardio varje dag. Vill man ha fina muskler och bygga styrka så får man lyfta mera vikt och göra mindre sets, vill man bara ha lite muskler så kan man lyfta lättare vikt och högre reps, fattar ni?? Eftersom jag vill bygga mer än touch muskler fast inte sånt där brottare samt bygga styrka, jag ni fattar så lyfter jag högre vikt och mindre sets. Vad är ditt mål? Så länge man bara tränar för att må bra så spelar det inte så stort roll. Men vill man bara gå ner i vikt och vara smal smal, så kan du springa på löpbandet hela dan...typp

A true friend wont judge you
Last week an old friend came to Barcelona with her friend for a visit. The girl with medium long hair in the pic above. She was my first friend in Ireland when i moved there 6-8 years ago. We were very closed like sisters. Then i moved back to Sweden and we did not have contact until few years and this year when we talk sometimes. She came to Barcelona for visit for just 2-3 days. So we walked all day those 2 days for a tour in the city. It was fun and good to see her again. I hope she will back here soon :)
// Förra veckan kom en gammal vän till till Barcelona med en kompis för att hälsa på. Det hon på bilden med medel långt hår på bilden ovan. Hon var min första vän 6-8 år sedan i Irland då jag bodde där innan. Vi var jätte nära vänner som syskon. Sedan åkte jag tillbaka till Sverige och vi hade inte kontakt, tills för några år sedan, det här året hade vi ännu mer kontakt och pratas på facebook och whatsapp. Hon kom till Barcelona med en kompis för 2-3 dagar. Alla dessa två dagar gick jag runt med de för att visa Barcelona staden. Det var kul och se henne igen och förhoppningsvis så kommer hon tillbaka igen snart :)

You dont lose until you quit
Warraup :)
I already grabbed my late dinner and now i am on the bed checking youtube clips :) Soon go to bed too sleep. My love is gone with his friend, he need to disconnect and be socialize.
Few hours ago i went to met my old friend here in Barcelona Irene to catch up. We went to a commercial center near hear for a drink and chat. It was so good to see her again. She got her driving license and a car so everything seems to flow good for her. We didnt had som much time since she have to work tonight.
Its a another no going weekend for me, although its pretty good to stay away from alcohol and other tempting stuff.
What you plan for tonight?
// Jag har redan tagit min middag så här sent och nu sitter jag på sängen och kolla lite på youtube. Ska alldeles strax gå och lägga mig.
Ruben är borta för att träffa en kompis, vilket han behöver för att vara lite social och kopplar bort från pluggandet.
För några timmar sedan var jag och träffade en tjej kompis här i Barcelonasom heter Irene. Vi var på en stor shopping center nära här för att ta en drink och prata lite. Det var kul att träffa henne igen. Hon har fått sitt körkort och en bil så allting verkar flyta bra för henne. Vi hade inte så mycket tid för att umgås för att hon måste jobba ikväll.
Det är en annan lugn helg för mig igen, vilket är också bra så att jag inte dricker alkohol eller något annat frestade.
Triceps is out
I am proud to see my triceps yersteday when i stand in front of the mirror trying som clothes on.
I also lost half kilo this week and in total i went down from 60kg to 55kg in a month. That is five kilo. At first i was aiming for 53-54kg, but i am focusing more losing the bodyfat i have. Cause i can "look" skinny but still have fats around hanging, that is called "skinny fat". So well see with the new workout routine that i have. I also need to go to some specialist to check how many bodyfat in percentage i have , got to find a place where they do it here. You can weight over 60 and have less bodyfat percentage or weight less than that and have more bodyfat percentage. Weight doesnt always count.
// Jag är glad och stolt över när jag såg mina triceps igår kväll, när jag provade några kläder framför spegeln :). Eftersom vi har ingen våg hemma så vägde jag mig själv imorse här hemma hos Rubens mamma, bara för att se om jag har gått ner i vikt. Vilket jag har, halv kilo mindre och idag väger jag 55kg. För en månad sedan vägde jag 60kg. Men jag focuserar mer att få bort underhudsfettet som möjligt. Man kan väga mer än 60kg och har jätte lite underhudsfett, eller så kan man väga mindre och har mycket mer underhudsfett. Så för mig måste jag ta reda på hur mycket underhudsfett jag har. Måste gå till en specialist för att kolla upp detta så jag vet hur jag ska forsätta träna och vet vad jag ska fokusera på. Jag bryr mig inte så mycket om min vikt , nu vill jag bara få mindre underhudsfett. Folk som är smala men har fett som hänger där och här kallas för " small fet", och det är typ jag. Magen hänger där och midjan så måste jobba med det.
OOTD
It is so much warmer than what you think it is. Its me who is wearing to much clothes, so scarf off, leather jacket off and hoodie off. Really so warm. I love walking here the park near at home in Barcelona with the dogs, i could sit there for hours :)
// Det är varmare än vad det ser ut som , det bara jag som har på mig för många kläder, så bort med halsduk, jacka och tröjan. Jag älskar att promenera här på parken bredvid hemmet i Barcelona,.
