A 3rd gym session, freezing temperatures and waiting for an interview with David Pakman.

in life •  7 years ago 

It's absolutely freezing in the Netherlands today.

I don't remember it being so cold but it must be close to one of those winters that grandfathers talk about.

"When I was young....we had winters...you couldn't open your mouth otherwise your internal organs would freeze instantly..."

Or something along these lines :)

Anyway cold it is and so I didn't envy Bianca when she had to go to Rotterdam tonight.

She and a couple of others girls are coming together to say goodbye to a friend who is leaving for Brazil for 4 months.

I took her to the station tonight.

Now the wind has started to act up and it's even colder outside. (feels like -18)

I told her to take an Uber to come home tonight.

I would pick her up but I can't.

I got another interview tonight.

The second interview about Steemit. The first one was with @terrybrock and this time I was invited by @davidpakman.

I guess another round of practicing came earlier than expected.

The interview is around 10.30pm.

A little on the late side but that's what you get with an international community as we have here.

I'm drinking coffee, even though a big glass of single malt would be way more appropriated with this weather.

Maybe I can sneak one in after, depending on how it goes :)

I'm not nervous this time so that's a pretty good sign.

That could also have to do with the gym session I had today.

I read it on a comment that this helps against nerves.

If that's true I'm very grateful for that tip.

It was already the third gym session this week by the way.

With Bianca!

We are doing very well. I also feel better.

Maybe we are finally finding some decent Steemfat3 structure.

It was needed.

So now I'm waiting for that interview to start.

2 more hours to burn!

I think that two hours would be best served by gubbing 8 beers and perhaps the whisky you were talking about. I mean how relaced would that make you! ;O)

I wished I had done that instead because the interview just got canceled due to no internet on his side. Time to get relaxed :)

Lol, get stuck in!

Best of luck for the interview.
Man you are lucky you have winter. Here winter is going and I am like summer is coming. I don't like summer, I like winter. Though winter makes you lazy but sun in summer is just unbearable.

i think that,this time very cold in netherland for temparature.i hope you fully confident of your interview terribrock and davidpakman.its very amazing news that,you already finished your 3rd session of gym.best wishes for your good interview.thank u very much for ur good post.... @exyle

I don't mind winter but I'm looking forward to summer again! My favorite.

Well, you are living the life of a trading-card-famous person now - so it's a surprise, that you even find the time to go to the gym! 😉
I will definitely watch your interview and I guess @davidpakman is the one being nervous now! Good luck!

@exyle,
Best of luck for the 2nd interview too! Are you prepared a beer to drink just after it :D Congratz friend!

Cheers~

It is also very cold in Germany...I have not seen such cold since I was born ...hahaha am still a very young lady. I am looking forward to seeing your interview with @davidpakman ...two great steemians will surely rock the day

Hi and thank you. Sadly the interview got canceled because of technical issues. It will be rescheduled.

Owk seriously I have always envied you guys and have loved the cold weather from a distance but with this I think i am scared now. I am begining to pity you guys. See how you are all wrapped up like you are in the North Pole...lolzz

Brace yourself for the interview @exyle. Don't be nervous , it will come and pass. Just take a deep breath whenever you feel like it's coming and exhale slightly. It works wonders .

best if luck with the interview

@exyle Really, I ll appreciate your energy, every time I felt that in your VLOG. Always got motivated.

Have a good day,

thank for the encouraging words! Sadly the interview got canceled.

Today in Slovenia we had similar weather. It was -20 or something like that. Hope this is the last time winter showing their teeth.

Yes me too!

I don't like the cold that is why I don't like winters, even though they can look pretty beautiful.
Glad you are feeling better and seeing the changes, I am also starting to change my eating habits and changing or at least being more serious about my daily exercise.

Good luck with you interview with @davidpackman, which I love to watch and can't wait to see your interview with him.

I'm not nervous this time, so that's a pretty good sign.

When I saw the above, I said to myself, really! I get nervous too sometimes when I'm called to make a presentation or give a talk, I would take a deep breath and then I'm good to go.

You said the gym session you had could probably be the reason why you've been able to combat the above, I would try its working.

Have a great time during the interview session, I'll be looking forward to reading the feedback. I hope you'll later.

Its a good idea to go to the gym especially when its too cold because it will keep you fit. Its also very cold in Germany and we have to cope with it. I am looking forward to your interview with @davidpakman ...go rock it my buddy.

Thanks, man! The interview sadly has been postponed due to technical issues.

Looks so cold. Reminds me of a line from the popular television series.. Game of Thrones "Winter has Come". Enjoy yourself, keep warm and i wish your friend a nice stay in Brazil

Haha can relate with the cold brother, not very warm here in Sweden now either. 🙏🏼

Was ice-climbing in Norway this weekend so thought I had my fair share of cold there but turned out it was just as cold here back in Stockholm haha.

Will visit the Netherlands once again now in March, ever heard of the festival Master's of Hardcore? Will be thrilling! Also get to visit s'Hertogenbosch, never been there so will be fun 🤟🏼

s'Hertogenbosch is nice. Hopefully, it will be a little warmer by then!

Pretty cold its freezing dammn better to remain outside or do a grill session hahah but you are doing great with the gym session :D awesome day

Sorry, I can't help but smile. This is the first photo I have seen of a Hollander dressed as an Inuit (Eskimo, but politically incorrect). LOL It has to be brutal for you guys as you are not used to such cold. Sorry, your intrview was cancelled. I was looking foward to it...

LOL! The interview will happen friday.

Oh wow, it does look really chilly from the picture. I cannot stand such cold temperatures as I start freezing here when it drops below 10 degrees lol. And kudos to you for consistently working out; I am doing the same these days along with chanting regularly and it is helping me become more enthusiastic, focused and alert. :)

Interview by 10pm? Wow! A little bit late though, but then, it's night so everyone's brain cells will be calm. And then you are drinking coffee too so I guess you will be just fine! Don't forget to update us about how the interview went.😃

And Bianca has been so supportive, I noticed that.

Well noticed :). The interview had to be rescheduled though.

All good. We hope you tell a word or two about it whenever it holds.

How do you live in this cold weather?

It's really cold here as well. -7 I think and i'm just about to go out. Would much rather be staying home in front of a real fire.

Good luck with your interview. You're going to be a pro at this really quickly at this rate!

Its snowing like crazy but warmer then its been, and yea working out can help some settle their nerves it does seem to work @exyle ok man good luck with the interview with @davidpakman

Three times a week at the gym is perfect. I’m jealous for Bianca’s friend traveling for Brazil. It must be realy freezing there , if you can’t even open your mouth. The best advise is to Stay home and keep warm.

Sound like no barbecue today.

Wow wonderfull photography

While I was growing up, I always thought that those who were in Europe enjoys the best of the wheather seasons round the year.
But -18℃ that I can't stand,in India coolest day would be around 8 to 10℃,to which we start shivering we can't even think of being beyond that zone.those temperatures are beyond my resistance.

Well this is amazing I really like your posts always thanks for sharing

Thank You! ⚜

I also congratulate you on the beautiful narration and the wonderful explanation.

I love the temperatures and the weather right now.. For the first time since I moved to the UK I've seen actual snow that stays overnight! Good winter somehow always energyzes me for some reason.. the snow just makes me want to go on a long walk outside through the empty streets. :)

What better things you want..they say winter gains are something your Soul will cherish always :)

Wishing you a great interview with David Pakman. Sorry for the intense cold weather- keep warm n stay indoors. I have never experienced such cold, in Kenya we are currently having lots of sunshine and warm weather, sometimes am curious to experience how the cold feels :)

What's wrong with the weather seriously, it's Spring already... :d
Good job with doing your weekly steemfat schedule and good luck with the interview!

I had a nice long run yesterday in temperatures close to what you are describing and it was a fun challenge :)

Hello @exyle , a good cup of hot chocolate gives warmth to the bones and strengthens the soul.

It's absolutely freezing in the Netherlands today.

Hrmmmmm....


Break out the single malt. It's anti-freeze for your insides.

Three gym sessions and it's only Wednesday...you're really getting into the groove! Awesome! Enjoy the interview and the single malt following.

It's cold here too. But snow is forecast for tomorrow so that means... sledging 🛷☃️❄️😁
