i feel under the water, i napped three times today, i guess that’s how you feel when you are back in the game. Eating so much protein it’s embarassing. Yesterday, I went little overboard in the gym as tomorrow we are leaving for our little trip and I won’t be able to train till next Friday. I don’t know what to pack, during the day it’s really warm, 22 degrees, but...

reward system
it always worked for me in the past. so bringing it back :)
you all know i have a little weakness for blazers and trenchcoats. Even though I am not about to buy new blazers (have enough), i left my trench in Nantes and saw a beautiful one in Mango.
That will be my sweet reward.
21 days without sugar!

day 21/ 62
kicked the illness in the appropriate part and back on track. YAY! i feel so good after the workout. I was like a wild animal in a cage…no workouts for so much time. I felt very weak today.
started to log my eats the traditional, old school “notebook” way. the thing is: FEELING NAUSEOUS when my feeding window approaches. will see how it goes for a week.

I was walking back from class today. And it was snowing a lot. And I’m always thinking about outfits and brands and food clothes. Not new stuff, but what I already own. I know there are plenty of new brands and trends that come out everyday, but looking at what you have and enjoying your clothes…
Today is a new day, new breeze, new fresh start.

first day that feels like a total fiasco. didn’t follow my nutrition plan (had two packets of oat&rice cakes en plus) + stucked at my place working on assignements.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
breakfast explosion
Not food. Me. Comments. Again. Food service people. They DO NOT KNOW ME. Why people don’t care their own business?
Being in full rage first thing in the morning is not the best thing you can do. But you can punch your pillow for 15 min.

Bad moments come. It depend how we deal with them. Isn’t that just easy to surrender? And what it takes to fight back? I am a fighter. Yes, I am.

For a long period of time I had basically zero friends to share my passion for fitness. In this aspect, my blog was very important to me. It kept me sain, to be able to talk about things I would never tell to my real life friends. Yeah, some of them run, some...

I feel great today. Preparing mentally for killing it in the gym this afternoon. Updating later how it went.
Dej: chicken breast, 2 eggs, tuna salad.
My motivation was low, then I watched Zuzka’s ZWOW and I feel like everything is possible. Plans for this weekend: NO REST DAYS. (I am so prepared to kick my own butt).
Hope you guys are doing great!
I said no thank you to binging on bread. small baby steps over here.
day 3 / 62
protein in the morning check
planned workouts for today:
jazz dance as usual
trying taekwondo class
edit: taekwondo rescheduled to mardi prochain. So proud of myself that kept my diet in check today. It is so hard to be back on track, to get rid of all the bad habits, those exam stress habits. But we can do it.
SLow and steady.
planning doing bodyweight later in the night.
day 2 / 62
protein shake first thing in the morning.

1 hour tango practice
1 hour salsa
ballet (barre)
protein before bed
my first day of my last semester at UV
uhm. uhm.
I have two classes of macro today. The first one, okay, not THAT big fan of the professor. I was bored by his explanation (never happens to me in Macro, i love it, so i was thinking about the weird adiposity his body represents - he is a pear).
going to the second one, i hope it’s better.

Even if i felt sleep deprived and a little bit of hangover after yesterday’s wine consumption and tired from train I went to the gym for a little lifting because I planned it that way.
I have to keep promises to myself.
Deadlift/Bench press day, very light day with accessory work on shoulders. Protein after.
My lunch at FresCo was too big, tomorrow I will stretch my portion control...
