Pickleball – Puma Swede Blog

Happy Easter to you all 🙂 How is your Easter business going? I FaceTimed with my nephew and got a bit jelly when he was munching on a giant easter egg filled with Swedish ‘lösgodis’! (swedish pick-and-mix loose candy). I think I pulled off the bunny look and that’s about how Easter-y it got for me 🙂

On Monday it was time for our Pickleball Women’s League again. Me & Stormi start strong, but weren’t quite able to keep it up until the end 🙁 But hey, we got until June to step up and we’re working on it! At least there were cup-cakes after! Of course I declined at first, but 5 seconds later I was stuffing myself with one hahhaaa… It was so good, but dragged myself away before I grabbed a 2nd one!

The biggest happening this week was my ‘fix-it-all’ surgery. Face, boobies, abs & butt. Might as well suffer through it all at once! Here’s some pics a few hours after I got home and a video!

Did I mention I did this on April 1st – April Fools Day 🙂 I must’ve pulled it off pretty good since I had phone calls and texts all day along asking WTF I’ve done and why hahahaa… Sorry, you are still stuck with the same old me 😉

More pickleball practice. Sometimes I feel that I’ve got it, and the next second the ball is in someone else’s court or in the net, ugh!

There’s been 2 Live Shows this week on my ‘spicy’ page and lot’s of shooting. Per usual I’m trying to catch up on the editing. But here’s a video on what I experience as some of the big differences between Europe and USA. I agree with ‘Go Big or Go Home’ at least!

As you know by now, I’m a believer in balancing things. Glam/Sweatpants, War Paint/Natural, Work hard/Nap… Hunter has the same motto pretty much LOL…

Trying to move somehow every day (emphasis on trying). Hit the weights 3x this week, Friday’s are for 2h of Fun & Games Pickleball and did a walk in the neighborhood. Yes, it was a cold day that day.

On Sunday I like to hike, and today it was one of the best hikes ever. Why? I spotted a turtle!!!! So cool…

There was also a lot of flowers, butterflies, lizards and the temperature was perfect. Had to switch to shorts half way through because it got hot…

Last nigh at 9pm I started another 72h fast. You are suppose to prep yourself like 2-3 days ahead with intermediate fasting for example. Me? I downed chips, cinnamon buns and semi healthy protein bars like it was my last meal ever! 18h in now and feel pretty OK. I had a cup of homemade bone broth so I can take my Prednisone pills as they are supposed to be taken with food.

Next week promises much of the same: pickleball, gym, taking the car for a service check up and working. How is the weather where you are at? I’m loving the Vegas weather right now, not too hot! I heard you had snow in some parts of Sweden on April 1st and that wasn’t even an April Fools joke!

Wishing you a great week ahead!

My strongest days are Mondays. I enter the new week like a Musk space rocket, full speed ahead! I suprised myself that I was able to do strict pull-ups again! I did start from feet on the ground, but will test from hanging this week! Made me very happy as sometimes I feel like I’m grinding in there and nothing happens!

Another bonus point for me is that I played pickleball first and I was still able to drag myself to a class afterwards! When I was playing pickleball a girl asked me to join a women’s pickleball league with her. Said yes! We met up at 5pm and then played 6 games from 6pm to 8pm. Sooo much fun, except that we weren’t the best. But that is about to change! More about that next, but this is my loser face after our last game hahahaa….

I said it’s about to change and that is because last week I got some practice in smashing the ball over the net amongst other things. Me & Stormi, my new pickleball partner, also got a private lesson together so we can learn to play as a team 🙂 And threw some weights around too after!

I stepped up my game in social media too. I’m now active on Tik Tok (no dance videos yet) and started posting on Reddit too 🙂 Here’s all the info if you want to follow 🙂

My Free OF page – @pumaswedefreepage, TikTok – @pumaswedetiktok, Reddit – @u/officialpumaswede, X – @pumaswede, Instagram – @the pumaswede 🙂 There is one cool thing coming. Still waiting for approval as I had to adjust some things. When I get all of my stuff together, I will get on with my YouTube too! Tell you when it’s all ready 🙂 This all means a lot of time in front of the camera. I like it!

Here is Hunter’s photo sesh from the week. He prioritizes more chill content like naps and recharging himself. Sometimes he inserts himself in my pics too (or in a suitcase) and I think we make a great team!

Claws were sharpened and painted. Look at my 2 cool tiger rings! The bling one I got from Angel, and the other one is from a Swedish friend. I’m bad (and lazy) at accessorizing, so Angel also gave me a pack of different rings that you can mix and match.

Saw a pretty great movie – ‘Rental Family’ with Brendan Fraser. I was never been a big fan of him, but he was good in this one. A company renting out people to play a role like a father, friend and so on. I recommend this movie.

One that didn’t impress me that much was ‘Mercy’ with Chris Pratt. Interesting idea about AI handling a trial, but it wasn’t for me.

Finished reading the book the 3rd book, ‘The Reversal’, in the ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ series. I watched the movie and Bosch series which are based of these books. Not quite the page turner for me, but it was as good as the other two I read before.

I like to start my Sunday’s with a walk. Been too hot to hit the hiking trails. I love it to clear my head and there are always dogs to pet and chat a little with fellow strollers.

I ended with 2 hours of pickleball practice with the ladies group last night. Fun group and tonight it’s the league so hopefully I got my sh*t together this time 🙂

An unfiltered selfie, a filtered-made-up selfie, my tree trimmer and when on face time with Angel and Jennifer, we realized we were all in pink!

OK, let’s get this week started! Wishing you a Happy Easter too. You celebrating it somehow?
