sunny day :)

Hello everyone :)

Yesterday finally it was nice and sunny day in Trondheim and i had a day off - awesome! That's why i spended my day at the lake - doing almost nothing... But i was biking there, so that was my first workout yesterday...and i was swimming...i must admit - water was freezing cold, but what a nice feeling afterwards... Lately i am forcing myself to do more than i think i can do - and i really can do much more! And i believe that everyone can...

The very good thing is that my friends are starting to notice some difference in my body - and i am feeling much better and i like to check myself at the mirror - getting fit is so nice feeling - no matter of that sore feeling often, but i am even starting to enjoy, to love that feeling - thats why there is qoute - Feel sore at evening, feel sexy at the morning! - completely true!

What was my daily workout yesterday? Of course i am paying the biggest attention on my abs - so abdominal workout:
30 basic crunch
30 right oblique crunch
30 left oblique crunch
30 bicycle crunch
30 reverse crunch
30 long arm crunch
30 crossover crunch
30 half curl
30 vertical leg crunch
60 sec. plank
Actually i was doing all these workouts 60 sec each, but not less than 30 times, without any brake.

Then i did couple more things - little bit for legs, little bit for nice ass, little bit for arms :)
10 real push ups (before i did them in kinda womens way)
20 tricep dips
70 squats
30 each leg side lunges
15 sec each way side plank
50 twist touches

And the part of my routine is to drink tea before i fall a sleep and i found this nice tea. I think it is awesome, cause it is with cinnamon and ginger and both of them boosts metabolism.

This weekend i will have holidays in Ålesund - that means, that i will skip some days... i am kinda happy and excited about my holidays, but in the same time bit dissapointed, that it won't be able to do my workout routines there...only kissing might be my workout :) And here i found some health benefits of kissing. And also my body and muscles might need a little bit rest...

"Remember - rest is when your muscles are recovering, growing and becoming stronger!"

It's time for apple :)
Work hard!

new discoveries every day

Hello in this beautiful and sunny day (at least in Trondheim - finally)

Yesterday i had my last day at norwegian language classes and i got "The Paper" abou that - which show that now my level is not lowest and not highest, but i definitely can speak and understand :) It was very nice time at classes - i had awesome group with peoples and teacher - always a lot of fun!
My new discoverie was exactly there...it was a last time, so we where planning to have a picnic, but because of the weather we stayed inside... And...teacher had Sushi....i must admit - i know it is very healthy and good for loosing weight - but i don't like sushi - at least so far i didn't but i have ate it quite often just because of health benefits :) But thanks to my teacher and class mates from now on i can say that i like sushi - specially those souces i hated before - it is just important to know how to eat it correctly.
Sushi can be an extremely healthy food, especially since fish is so high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids (while also being low in fat). Here is some more information about sushi.

But what i done yesterday...I must admit - first i overslept and skipped breakfasts....afterwards all day i felt kinda bad - like sick - i guess it was because of that. So the rule is - Never skip breakfast if u want to get fit!
Yesterday i was concentrating on running - i found this song - and for me it was just perfect for running and working out. Maybe u can write down what is your favorite music while working out and running - help me ;) But i can suggest this song as workout music - specially good music for running - kinda motivating workout music.

Like i said - i was running yesterday - even having sprint - i runned more than often and for me the time was good - that was fat burner for me yesterday - i was exhausted and completely sweaty afterwards - perfect - isn't it ?!?

And later at my norwegian classes we had running dictation - after that my muscles was sore and i can feel them even today. And yeahhh...i was too lazy to do something else at evening... That's why today i will concentrate more on abdominal workouts - cause i just need those good looking abs ;)

Very good and important quote - completely true:

" You are not

HUNGRY

You are

BORED

Drink some water &

LEARN

the difference!!!"

Good luck everyone ;)

Getting addicted

Good morning everyone :)

This is nice morning - i really liked what i saw at the mirror when i woke up :) I feel that all the work i am doing finally is getting more visible - hopefully not just for me, but i am soo proud of myself.

I have been skiping sweets already for a while - well maybe sometimes, just one piece of chocolate or something, but really, just a little bit and Coke that i bought more than one month ago is still at place and not opened and when i look at it - i can admit - i really don't want to have that rubbish in my body... i guess i am on the right way - hopefully u are as well ;)

Here are some nice tips for flat tummy - that is not hard at all! I found them on internet.
1. Drink a glass of water before eting.
2. Eat five small meals a day.
3. Eat slowly. (this is bit hard for me)
4. Do cardio 20 minutes a day, five days a week. ( i am trying to do this)
5. Know your serving sizes. (well...i must admit - i am not pying big attention to this one...maybe i should, maybe i will...later)
6. Good posture: it strenghtens tummy muscles. (this is something i am working on)
7. Swim! (not now - to cold here and i dont have money to spend at swimming pools)
8. Strenghten your core (hmm....)
9. Cut out sweets.
10. Do push-ups... Accurately.
11. Do reverse sit-ups.
12. Never skip breakfast. (i agree! I am eating breakfast just lately - thats awesome)
13. Drink lots of water every day. (i am drinking only water, tea and little bit coffee, sometimes)
14. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night. (i am trying...)
15. Cut down on alcohol consuption. (hmm....sometimes)
16. Reduce salt intake. (no problems with that - thanks to my mother)
17. Avoid stress (easy to say - hard to do)
18. Color your plate
19. Cut out fast food (almost cutted)
20. Cut out soda (done!)
21. Don't starve yourself. ( i always have some nuts or dried fruits with me)
22. Don't isolate just your stomach.
23. Five servings of fresh fruit or veggies. (well...eat an apple or something - not paying to much attention to this one)
24. Enrich your diet with fiber (i have no diet, but i do eat fiber)
25. Do crunches
26. Plank.
27. Leg lifts.
28. Climb stairs - no to elevator
29. Do yoga (i would like to, but i am not doing this one)
30. Stay inspired and enjoy life!!!

I don't know what happend with me yesterday, but i was obsessed with sweets... It was weird and crazy...I wanted something sweet - that feeling when chocolate is melting in your mouth... I took a piece of dark chocolate - and i was done with that - i have never loved dark chocolate, then better i stay without chocolate at all...

But what i done yesterday to get fit?
50 sec. plank
15 tricep dips
20 push-ups
50 twist touches
90 squats
And this one - i think this is great for abs and it is good to try something new, for different abdominal muscles...30 times each

Stay strong, stay motivated!
