In swimming you don’t say ‘I love you’ you say, ‘I did not get up at 5am to do this shit’ which roughly translates to ‘Give me food’ and I think that’s beautiful

Doing more Exercise than I already do is kinda hard to fit in my schedule, but I want to :( Going running would mean either getting up earlier or going to bed later though, which means even less sleep than I get at the moment. You see my problem!?
I could go running on the weekends and probably Wednesdays, though that would mean actually getting myself to do so. I should probably get my mum to go running with me, so that I have someone to motivate me and kick my ass. Sooo many hard decisions to make.

Day 5-7 / How did I survive this?!

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:26:33 +0200

My fitness Goals were generally crap, mostly because I feel like 3-4 times swimming for 2 hours a week do the trick, but I`m sure I could`ve done more.

1. Only Water. Did it on Friday and Saturday. Didn`t today, because I went over my Godmothers house and we had like Cake and lots of Juice and stuff.
2. Sweets only once. Again did it the last two days, today I had lots of Cake. eugh!
3. Fruit Everyday, Smoothies to rule them all. Today I had a Cherry-Banana one (its called KiBa were I live, Kirsch-Banane) which was delicious. Friday and Saturday I had Dragonfruit with Raspberries/ Cherries.
4. Healthy Meal. Managed to have one everyday.
5. 8 Cups of Water. Drank a lot yesterday, but didn`t quite do it the other two.
6. No Fried Food. Only one I managed to do all week :D
7. 45 minutes of exercise. I grabbed my Bike today, not so much on Friday and Saturday.
8. Abs, yesterday. Not today or friday. Sucks to be me :D
9. 50 squats. Monday and Tuesday killed me, so I avoided those all week.
10.No Bad Carbs. Did it Yesterday :D
11. A Smoothie. See my Fruit :D The Dragonfruit Smoothies were awesome really. And I loved the KiBa one :)
12. Eat something you don`t usually like. Nope. :D

Overall I think I did okay this week.. I could`ve done more. I`ve skipped my exercise a lot of the time. But it was really weird to see how eating a bit less and thinking about what I eat affects my habits.

Day 4 aka I have finally recovered from Day 1

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:19:45 +0200

This Day went a lot better than I expected. I`m so satisfied that I`ve managed to reach 9 Goals again… well 8.5 however you look at it.

1. Only drinking water.. Did it! My throat is better so I don`t have to drink tea anymore.
2. Sweets… Yeah, well this girl on my swimteam has her birthday today and she brought Gummibears so I just thought fuck it.
3. Eating Fruit everyday. I had a Mango/Banana Smoothie this Morning and I ate a Banana after my Training Session. Yay for fruit!
4. Healthy/Not Pre Made Meal. Well, it wasn`t Pre Made, so I guess that counts.
5. 8 Cups of Water. Check!
6. No Fried Food. My Cravings for chips have actually stopped so that`s good :)
7. 45 minute exercise. I had a 2 hours training session so I guess that pretty much covers it.
8. 10 minutes of Abs everyday. Does trying to stay afloat count?! I`m not sure.. Like I said 8.5!
9.50 squats. Nope. Couldn`t be bothered.
10. No Bad Carbs.I ate Bread again… aaaand it was delicious :D
11. Drink a Smoothie. I had a Mango Smoothie this morning which included 1 large Mango, 1 Banana, about a cup of Yoghurt and some lemon juice.
12. Eat something healthy you don`t like. I`ve actually ate two Bananas today, which normally I can`t stand. (I nearly choked on one as a kid)

DONE! I`m actually really proud of myself.

Day 2 & 3

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:27:47 +0200

So yesterday and today were a complete fail :( My legs are so sore from the past two days I could hardly climb the Stairs to my room today and thats 4 sets from the basement.

1. Only drinking water, didn`t work out because I drank shit loads of Tea, as I not only have sore legs, but also a sore throat.
2. Only eating sweets once. I actually haven`t had any sweets this week so far, so I`m pretty proud of that.
3. 1 piece of Fruit everyday. I ate some yesterday and I do have a mango in the kitchen that just waits to be eaten, but today was not that day.
4. At least 8 Cups of Water a day. I reckon I drank that amount in Tea the last two days :D
5. Didn`t have any Fried Food at all this week and it`s not going half as bad as I would`ve thought.
6. 45 minutes of exercise. Did it yesterday… today not so much. To be honest I was just too lazy and also my muscles ache like a bitch. Also I know I`m gonna swim for 2 hours tomorrow, which will probably make up for today.
7. Same here, no 10 minutes of abs for me today. Did them yesterday though.
8. 50 squats… Same as the above :D
9. I actually didn`t have any “bad” carbs today, did eat some bread yesterday though.
10. Didn`t have a smoothie today or yesterday, but I think I`ll blend up that Mango for tomorrow.
11. I don`t remeber eating something I don`t like either days so nooo!
12. A healthy meal…. my grandma made me dinner today so duh!

Apart from the exercise thing I think I`m holding up pretty good… I really need to try to quit the carbs though.

Day 1 of the Challenge

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:23:00 +0200

For this week we have 12 goals set, which everybody can choose as they want basically. I thought it would be fun to try doing all of them and as it turns out, it`s not that hard to do.

Today i`ve accomplished 9/12 things I wanted to do, which I think is a pretty good start.

1. Trying to drink only Water for one week. Considering I drink lots of Water anyway and hardly anything else (accept applejuice) this wasn`t too hard.
2. Only eating sweets once a week. By far harder to do than the first one as I have a sweet tooth and go through a lion or snickers bar a day… at least. But I`ve overcome the temptation and haven`t touched any sweet treats today.
3. Eating one piece of fruit a day. Normally this is a problem for me, as I never get the feeling of being full afterwards, but my grandma bought a dragonfruit today which I obviously had to try aaand it was awesome.
4. Cooking a healthy meal (no precooked food). Unless you count oatmeal, I couldn`t do this today.
5. Drinking at least 8 Cups of Water a day. Done!
6. No Fried Food for a Week. I loooove me some Chips, but didn`t eat any today.
7. 45 minutes exercise per day. I had a 2 hour training session and 1 hour P.E. today, so that should be covered.
8. 10 minutes Abs. Fortunately we did this in P.E., otherwise I probably would have failed.
9. 50 squats a day. Did them right after waking up.
10. No “Bad” Carbs. As in no white bread, pasta, etc. I`ve had a Roll in School and one after, so that obviously didn`t work out.
11. One Smoothie, fruit or veg. I really just couldn`t be bothered, so nope!
12. Eat something healthy you don`t like/ won`t eat normally. I ate the Dragonfruit. Normally I don`t like anything with Dragonfruit in it. No matter if it is a drink or whatever. But I actually really liked the Dragonfruit my grandma got…. besides it`s really pretty :D
