Fit Flow

Hmmmm… sometimes these little gestures just remind me that I’m truly blessed, and I never take it for granted. ❤️

Between now and December, there are three days when I’ll have to leave home much earlier than my usual 8:00. That means I will have to leave home at 7:10 so I have to send them to the daycare at 7am.
I need to be at the venue by 8:15 sharp, because even being one minute late could mean waiting outside for 30 minutes.

And once again, my first support system came through as my saviour.

Yesterday, I messaged the owner of the daycare to explain that I would need some extra help on those three days. They would also need to take my small madam to school for me on one of those mornings.

Her response was simply:

“I will arrange that for you.”

That was it.

So I closed the message and thought, Let me check how their day for today is going on the daycare app.

And lo and behold… she had already put everything into the system for me.

Of course, if the daycare wasn't available, I would have found another solution. But that alternative would probably have cost us €100 or more across those three days.

It's not even just about the money. It's about having people who understand your situation and make things a little easier without making you feel like you're asking for too much.

I am genuinely grateful and I don't ever take advantage of the support they offer us.

They have a very special place in my heart and in my life's journey, and I will never take that kind of support for granted. ❤️

I hate the smell after the lecturer gives us a 10-minute break. Most of them go outside to smoke, and when they come back, the smell completely changes the atmosphere in the lecture hall.

By the time the lecture starts again, you're sitting there thinking, “I came here to study, not to attend a cigarette convention.” 😭

And because the windows and doors aren't always enough to clear it quickly, you just have to sit there and endure it.

I needed this to stay alive today.

I have officially joined the Koffee family. The Nescafe is made, poured into my flask, and comes with me because apparently I have places to be and people to deal with.

For the past four weeks, my schedule has changed, so I haven't had a specific time set aside for working out. But one thing I've learned is that I can always find a way to stay active within my schedule. 💪🏽

So this week, I'm trying something different. After picking up the crew around 6pm, my small madam will cycle for 30 minutes every day, and while she cycles, I'll run after her. 😂🚴🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

And Day 1 has been a success! ✅🎉

I'm basically giving this routine a little test to see whether it affects their bedtime and sleeping schedule. So far, today has been perfect! 🙌🏽

Sometimes you don't need a perfect workout schedule. You just need to find movement that fits into the life you're already living. ❤️

Day 1/5 — let's see how the rest of the week goes! 💪🏽😋

And the goodness is we are already cycling without the side wheels.

Number 2 has already started practicing without side wheels as well.

I can't wait for what the future holds for us in terms of cycling 😉😉 and all the adventures that comes with it.

THE INCOMING ARTIST!

Look at that concentration! The colouring is not just colouring anymore — she has entered her artistic era.

“Mama, I’m not just here to learn Dutch… I’m here to become an artist too.”

Incoming artist indeed!

I am officially €15 richer! 💸

Anyway, €1 for 15 people 👀

Drop your details in the comments section. Let’s see who is feeling generous today! 😋💰

No pressure ooo… but I’m watching the comments.

So, today's holiday… did you move the body, or are you still using “I don't have time” as your excuse like me?

No judgment here ooo!
Even 20–30 minutes counts. A walk, some dancing, playing with the kids—just move that body! 💃🏽🔥

Now tell me… did you move or not?

Positive energy only! 💪🏽✨
