My transformation to become Skalman

Health is both physical and psychological. Often we tend to be narrow here. If we are feeling blue we try to add happiness, do joyful things or we go the other way trying to hide from it, lock our self in or drown us in alcohol. When we are in pain we go to see a doctor. A depression or anxiety is to be dealt with by psychologists or psychiatrist. Happy- pills are the 90´s solution. And I wont argue neither against or promote these actions for now. But I will tell you that there are a third factor that it is unbelievable disregarded by many including my self; Nutrition and the magic of water. How on earth do we think that we could be productive 18 hours a day filled up with gas only enough for taking us half the way.

Maybe you do agree with me but you do as I did, just ignore it!

 I Dated a man, a few years ago, who actually told me, when being low, which I were a lot back then, to go home make some nice food, have some glasses of water and aim for a good nights sleep. OR he could tell me to go for a run or do an hour at the gym. He was a genius, and even if I sometimes took his advice I didn’t realise the magic of those actions.

I m a child of the latte- generation, and with it came the subs. No surprise that our generation are suffering for the strange deceace that they tend to call different names but not have a clear answer have to cure. I would call it Stockholm stomach ruined by alcohol, sandwiches, coffee, fast food and the lack of real food. 

But, back to what my date said. It took me up until now before his words sank in to my mind. And maybe it was in combination with a bunch of co-incidences that made me think of these words again.

My sister gave me some herbalife product during the autumn, as I was working dubbel-shift, doing radio on the evenings and working in a reception during the day. Somedays I also was on air at the radio before work. And as it is me we are talking about, 

I did never take into consideration that I might have to make time for eat and also prepare meals and buy groceries. It has always made me bored. Why should it take so much of my time? Don’t misunderstand me I love to sit down for a lovely dinner, grew up with a father who is a chef and a mother with a huge interest in dining, but I wont put time aside for food in daily life. So, I was being fed by my sister with herbalife formula 1 powder that I pored into a bottle of juice and drank on the subway, at my work or while walking from one place to another. It helped me manage. I still 

tried to go out for good results at the track in the afternoon just having had coffee and maybe a sub since I woke up, but at least I could handle the day.

Now I almost start laughing at my own lack of understanding, naivety. I have taken the words of my date into actions.

Herbalife- coach Roger Nilsson brought me a party bag with formula 1 in the tastes of vanilla and tropical. A travel pack, some extra energy drinks, a few protein- bars and a lot of vitamins; rose-ox herbal- pills to lower the urge for sugar, multivitamin to optimize the nutrition and fish oil omega 3 to smoothen up the body as fibre – and herbal that when taken before meals helps the body tocapture fibre.

Good-bye frustration, tiredness and to feeling blue, Welcome to days full of joy, energy and structure.
