Right, not a lot of blogging. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't really had the time these last weeks to do a righteous blog entry. But soon I will. Tomorrow is the big day, and all is packed. Looking forward to airplane food, boring transits and a lot of movies during the flight. It will be around 12 hours to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. From there another 3 hours, to Denpasar, Bali.
Have been doing a lot of kettlebell stuff, and since I bring two 24k's to Bali, that will be pretty much what I will be doing. I have found a very interesting site about kettlebells, one that really stood out. Here it is.
My stuff, including the bells, won't be arriving until end of june, so my plan is to do some bodyweight workouts, and runs up and down the biatch.. That will be nice, but like I said, it's a plan. But I do hope to stick with it. Food in Bali, tends to be a bit greasy sometimes, and also everything is very sweet and that will stick so easy to the side of mi tummy that lovehandles will start to grow faster than I can ever sweat it off. So I must feed myself with caution over there.
Downloaded and searched the web for a lot of practical info about bodyweight workouts, and those aren't easy either. Pistols, I can finally do now, but handstand pushups, one arm push ups for reps, and a good hard set of burpees are things I can't do yet. And I should.
Anyway, I lied when I said all is packed. All isn't packed yet. I still have to do my suitcase, cancel some subscriptions and check check double check everything. Not wise one might say. Well I say that already I am starting to adapt to the cultural differences.. What can't be done today, we can see tomorrow ;)

I have arrived safely. It's really nice weather, and I really feel at home here in Bali! It's great!
Haven't been training yet, but soon will. There are some home made barbells laying around...
Mark: you will do fine!
