Monday 10.12.2012 - Fit test -

Last weeks were so busy. I have to admit that I wasn't focus on food at all. Actually yes, I was focused but I was focused to eat as much as I can :-D

I haven't gym for that weeks also. I think I would made some workout if my job would not make me so exhausted. I was curious actually how much do I burn in that hell. So once I measured and I was pretty surprised. In 7 hours and 20 min. I have burned 2380Kcal. I think that explains why I can eat that fast food without gaining.

Anyway this week I have a bit of time, because I have got holidays at my work so I decided to be really focused on myself. I will be doing workout every day, eat right and hopefully, my hunger during christmass will not be so big.

And what I did, over and over again...I started with workouts from dear Shaun T. - Beach Body Insanity.

On Monday I didn't eat right but at least I made a Fit test, which was pretty hard for me after so long time of not working out.

Here are my results
(first is the value from 11.9., second is the value from 11.10., third is the value from 26.10., and the last is value from 10.12.2012):

• switch kicks - 64/80/76/70
• power jacks - 38/43/44/36
• power knees - 63/77/69/69
• power jumps - 18/20/20/15
• frog jumps (counting every jump): 25/31/28/24
• suicide jumps - 12/15/13/11
• push-up jacks - 9/17/17/13
• low-plank oblique - 25/32/33/28

I hope soon I will have more time to continue on my weight losing journey and share it with you.

Another 2kg till the end of the year??? :-)

Hi everyone,
I am very sorry I haven't post anything for long time. I was really busy and also I couldn't give you any motivation as I didn't have even enough for myself.

I had a nice time with my boyfriend during Halloween, there was also snow here a weekend ago and this weekend we had the visit of my boyfriends parents. It was a lovely time. We made so many things in just only two days...visit of BMW museum, Munich tower, Chinese tower, dinner in Brauhause, small jazz concert in one coffee bar, tandem bike in English garden (that was definitely one of the best things!), eating on the traditional Munich market and lots of walking in the city and also eating deer in our place. It was really nice weather also and this city is just amazing. I feel for it more and more. There is so many things to do! And so many people to know! I will never get bored here I think.

31.10.2012

Last week I went two times for run and once I tried some workout from my other favourite personal trainer, Jillian Michaels. I thought that the workout I did is like nothing, but the truth was different. The day after, I had big pain in my arms, back and legs. 

Today I tried PILATES for beginners with Jillian Hessel. Please, put her name in google and you will be amazed by her body. But the training was nothing really for me. I need a bit of cardio during the workout, it makes me happy. Maybe I am just not doing the workouts correct but I don't feel like it is for me. Maybe later :-)

Anyway, today is 5.11.2012. I am playing with an idea to give myself another resolution till the end of the year, while everyone will be now eating and gaining and waiting for the start of the year to start losing, I will be on the way to be in best shape of my life in summer of 2013....On the other hand, I am really busy, the coming winter is also making me tired and of course, I gain naturally winter kilos also.

But yeah, this all things are just telling me, that is exactly what I need, the big challenge. I would love to lose another 2 kg before the end of the year. This morning I measured myself and I was surprised that my weight is still quite fine :-) The scale showed 63,9 kg which makes me happy.

So as I said, 2 kg till the end of the year and I will be really proud on myself! I decided to go for plan from mentioned Jillian Michaels - Ripped in 30. You can also download her meal plan on her website.

So what do you think? Anyone wants to join me? Tomorrow I go to shop for couple of first days!

Fit test, Beach body insanity, 26.10.2012

Yesterday, I did the fit-test from Beachbody Insanity program to see how big impact it had on me, one week without not working out. And here are the results (first is the value from 11.9., second is the value from 11.10., third is the value from 26.10.):

• switch kicks - 64/80/76
• power jacks - 38/43/44
• power knees - 63/77/69
• power jumps - 18/20/20
• frog jumps (counting every jump): 25/31/28
• suicide jumps - 12/15/13
• push-up jacks - 9/17/17
• low-plank oblique - 25/32/33

I have to admit that probably big influence has if you have your previous results next to you. I didn't have them so I just tried to do my best but to be honest, sometimes I just gave up :-)  So for next time, I will just keep my last results next to me to know which number at least I have to reach ;-)

Friday - 26.10.2012

Yesterday I was at work, but because I haven't work out for long time I decided to make at least the Fit test. Of course today my complete body hurts, not only from the Fit test but also from work. The work I have is really difficult manual work, one day I will definitely measure how many calories I burn there :-)
Did you ever measure how much calories do you burn in your work?

I ate:

• 50g of rye bread + 50g of cottage cheese + 2 small tomatoes

 

Healthy breakfast

• 1 big bowl of vegetable soup with chicken + 1 knackenbrot

Vegetable for soup

Chicken soup

Healthy soup

• 1 banana + 25g cereal biscuits
• wrap with 120g of grilled chicken + 70g of fries
• 4dl cola

I know drinking cola and eating fries is really bad and I will not eat or drink such a crap till the end of the month! Funny, isn't it :-) 

Thursday - 25.10.2012

Hi everyone,

I was thinking about the reason why I am bloging here about my journey to dream body and healthy lifestyle.

• Well, if at least one person got inspired by me and improved her/his health it would already satisfy me. I hope there is at least somebody ;-)

• Second reason is, that it also helps myself. Sharing on daily bases what I ate and if I gym is giving me more power. I have to recommend to do that also, if you haven't start yet. Lot's of people are writing some diet diary for themselves but to publish it on-line, where everyone can see that, gives you a pretty high motivation, so don't be scared and try it ;-) (and please send me link where I can find you :-) )

Yesterday I went first with my schoolmates for drink and then to library, where I found two nice books with light recipes, just not to get you and myself bored with old ones. Only that way has the progress a future :-)

I wish you nice day!
Yours Ad

I ate:

• 25g of muesli + 25g of oat-flakes + 1dl of milk
• 1 mandarin + 10g of dark chocolate (70%)
• bean salad (small piece of onion + 80g of ham + 55g of beans in dried state)
• 1 pear
• 0,33l beer
• 25g muesli biscuits
• 120g of pork schnitzel + 120g of potatoes + 5 small pickles
• 15 pistachio nuts

Wednesday - 24.10.2012

It was already 24.10., which means that in two months are Christmas here. I understand now, why I saw today a shop preparing for Christmas. Did you already start to shop for it or do you also leave everything to last moment like me?
Well I had a plan for this year, and it is to shop a bit in advance, just not to shop last week as everyone. I will also try to order more things through on-line shops instead of going somewhere. I will try it and I will see. Maybe the feeling is not as strong like when you are carrying full bags of presents, but I will try it and see maybe I will like it. You never know ;-)

So as I said, I had feeling I am back so I started day with run and continued with eating of healthy food whole day. Only problem I had was in the evening when I had feeling to celebrate with my boyfriend we are finally together and we opened the bottle of sparkling wine and I ate a bit of pistachio nuts. OK, not a bit :-) but I just love nuts!

I ate:

• porridge from 1dl of milk and 40g of oat flakes with cacao and 1 spoon of honey
• pasta salad with tuna (100g pasta + 65g of tuna + 2 small tomatoes + 2 spoon of yoghurt + pepper&salt)
• apple
• chicken breast with potatoes and champions

Dinner

• 50g of pistachio nuts + glass of wine

Workout: Run

Duration of workout: 26min

I am back :-)

I am back!

Let me tell you about last week...well, where to start....ok, I will explain in short...IT WAS A NIGHTMARE :-)

This marathon of activities (school, work, studying) showed me that to have these things under control is a bit difficult. In the beginning I tried to still eat healthy and nice things but in the end of the week, just before my final exams and defence of bachelor thesis I was eating everything I found and drinking cola all the time. On Monday I did pass my final exams but I didn't defence my bachelor thesis, which means I have to make improvements and go again in January. 

Pity I didn't take my camera to Prague because I was eating so nice food there, which I didn't eat during my diet. For example spinach cream soup, a small pizza, or I went with my daddy to the Steak house restaurant where I had a delicious stake (http://www.stejkarna.cz/) You can eat a really nice steak for 10 EUR there and that is not a bad price. I was surprised how tasty it was.

Anyway, today the scale showed 64kg exactly and I have to admit that after whole week of not paying any attention to diet (even ate fries and didn't gym for whole week) I was surprised that it is only 64.

But now, I am back to here and going for more results. I would be happy if my weight is before the end of the year on 60kg. Actually, it is still two months to go, so it is possible I think, even without some huge changes. I will try to eat nice and healthy food and gym or run. That days I will be at work I won't be able to gym because this work is really difficult for my body and working is exercise itself, especially if I am working for 8 hours. But I will try to do my best. I noticed on myself that the modification of my food is more helpfully than exercise. So I will be focused on that.

Here are some of the things I ate last week. I really have to recommend the wrap, it is easy to prepare and you can take it with you anywhere you like.

Pasta salad with ham and broccoli

Tomato soup with zucchini

Healthy breakfast: egg & rye bread

Fruit yoghurt: before

Fruit yoghurt: with yoghurt

Mix for wrap: tomato, corn and avocado

Tortilla with fresh cheese, rucola and schwarzwald ham

Wrap: before

Wrap: after

Salmon with pasta, salad and cream sauce

And let me share with you some pictures of beautiful autumn from last week ;-)

I don’t think that during next week, I will have time to exercise and write posts. But if everything goes well, next Monday I will be done with my university and I will have time on what I really want ;-)

So guys, I will be honest with you for next week I am planning to post nothing new here. I will be back probably 23th and give you a long post.

Wish you good luck with everything and keep focused ;-)

I ate:

• 25g of muesli + 25g of oat-flakes + 150ml of milk
• 100g of grapes + 25g of wholegrain biscuit

Morning snack

• 150g of pork + 60g of green beans + 100g of bamboo + 50g of rise noodles (in dry state) + 1 spoon of soya sauce + 1 spoon of oil.

Day 26. – Saturday 13.10.2012

My darling woke me by amazing breakfast in bed. In the afternoon we shopped again and in the evening we visited another two brauhauses.
