The Golden Egg ceremony was great fun, and the win for Minimize Me made it even better. When I read the last blog post, I realised I hadn’t said who the winner was - it was, of course, the hamburger bloke! 
Check out these films if you want to see a very nervous and rather unwell Johan, suffering from a fever and generally feeling rotten.
Winner interviewed by Fredrik Virtanen in the green room
Inspiring film from the gala, great music (we take to the stage at 1.56 into the film)
ZILCH exercise, but a few short walks to and from school. You can’t exercise when you’re ill.
I’m eating ordinary, everyday home cooking, but am passing on a second helping. Slightly smaller portions and healthier breakfasts is the theme for this week.

Day 276
1 April and an April Fools joke, of course. The Swedish tabloid newspaper Aftonbladet wrote about UEFA’s demands that Max should close its doors to visitors during the Junior European Football Championships.Bearing in mind what date it is, I thought it was an April Fools joke, but it is, in fact, completely true!
You don’t have to be a PR guru to realize that Max is rubbing its hands in delight.
Wow, finally some light at the end of the tunnel. You may remember that MinimizeMe was nominated for the Golden Egg award, and after swallowing a box of Panodil, Pia and I travelled to the Stockholm Concert Hall venue. Met Max and their PR agency, GCI, who have been nominated for the Golden Egg. The whole Golden Egg event is organised by people in the PR industry for people in the PR industry, and was rather boring for the uninitiated. But after the break, it was time for Minimize Me’s category, PR. The excitement was tangible, and I was convinced that Medicins Sans Frontieres would win their “SMS away a coffin” entry, which was one of the few entries I even recognised.
I wonder if there will soon be a YouTube video of Erik & Mårten from GCI going wild with delight?

Day 275
There is no end to my misery - I was fine for 5 days, and then was struck down by fever, a sore throat and a cold…
I just can’t function with a fever. I feel ready to faint, and seem to lose all control over my body. It feels like I’m watching the world through a goldfish bowl. Have to keep taking Panodil for another day yet. 
I dragged myself out, to drop off the kids at school and the nursery, but that finished me off completely. Tilda’s acclimatisation period is now finished, and she has started to realise that we leave her and sneak off in the morning. She is a bit teary, and I fell like a rotten parent.
No exercise whatsoever, except short walks to drop the kids off at school and the nursery.So things can really only get better next week!
