Should You Really Take 10,000 Steps a Day?

Norry Publier 13 avr  dans #Sport #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Losekg
10,000 steps a day?
Before this marathon, I never heard of that concept.
I've always known that walking a mile or two daily can be beneficial for your health.
So I did some research behind the idea...
So basically it comes down to burning fat.
10,000 steps a day for a week could result in losing a pound a week.
While walking improves physical and psychological well-being, one shouldn't be misled by the idea that walking alone shall lead to weight loss. The calories burned should be greater then …

Hello there!
Yesterday I missed a day posting...
But not entirely my fault...for some reason I couldn't write my daily blog. Could select the tasks, but couldn't write...
I thought it was due to bad internet connection, I would try again later.
But then I got ANGRY because The Donald talked down the dollar!
UGH!
As if the tension in Asia and Syria isn't bad enough...
So I just left things as they were...
With regards towards this competition, everything seems to go okay.
If one is not really use…

Hello there!
We are at day 7(my god time does fly) and someone like me who doesn't regularly do physical exercise, does have a hard time keeping up with it all. Is not impossible, but a bit hard...
Did the usual morning routine, warm water. Added some multi vitamin pills to the diet for some extra energy boost.
I cut the coffee from 4 cups a day to 2, so I need to get my energy from somewhere
One time instead of sugar I put salt in my coffee haha
Speaking of salt...
When preparing food, one shou…

Too bad...
Missed a day posting...

Busy doing house stuff...

Wrestle with the kids...
My oldest jumped with his knee on my back, so kind of have a back pain now
Yess we play rough...

I improvised the pull -ups a bit, Because I'm a bit weak on that area
2 chairs and …

Sodium Glutamate...What?

Norry Publier 8 avr  dans #Food #Sport #DukascopyMarathon #Losekg #Cutoutfastfood
I shall quote the internet on this one:
"Glutamate is a natural amino acid found in foods containing protein, like milk, mushrooms and fish. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), manufactured with only the sodium salt of glutamate, is designed to be a flavor enhancer and is found in many foods. However, clever labeling practices and deceptions serve to camouflage its presence."
What?!
So that's why I'm always craving that Pizza and Mc Donald's...
Bad bad bad people making us addicts only to make money...

Day 4 will be the most challenging (for now)!

Norry Publier 8 avr  dans #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Drinkwater #Morningexercises #100Steps #Losekg #Quitsmoking #Cutoutalcohol
Good-day!
As I've stated, yesterday would be my kinda off day in terms of physical work.
Less movement
Going up to 4 days and I haven't walked 10000 steps for the day?!
Wow am I that lazy... mmmmhhh I don't think so, because half the time when I go to check work on the floor I leave my phone in the office. So yeah...
I slept early yesterday, so today I am feeling very alive. Got a good night sleep!
On a side note, when drinking a lot of water, I pee a lot. Like really really really really a lot…

That Burning sensation when you muscle wakes up!

Norry Publier 7 avr  dans #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Drinkwater #Morningexercises #100Steps #Losekg #Growabeard
Good morning!
At least over here it's still morning
Today was a rainy day, so couldn't run.
I couldn't do much of the exercises because my muscles are burning!
Yes, they were asleep and now awake
So kind of a Rest day today...
Warm water with a few drops of Apple vinegar today.
It's good for cleansing of the inside.
I slept just for hours last night, couldn't sleep.
Sometimes I have these days.
I think it's because I used to work for 8 years in a casino at odd hours, so it kind of stays.
So toda…

Growing A beard is NOT simple!

Norry Publier 6 avr  dans #DukascopyMarathon
I do not agree with Dukascopy for categorizing this as Simple.
It takes time, you have to be patient, the maintenance, the psychology behind it.
First of all, you really have to want it.
Because once the facial hair starts to grow, it will grow wildly criss cross different directions.
I started to grow mine in October last year.
For about two months I did not shave at all.
One part of the face had more hair then the other, people said mean things, said it didn't suit me etc.
But I needed to do t…

btw try to make post via your Marathon contest profile
what you need to do is to check there the task you want to report about and click "Add post" button. Simple and you don't need to put the tags

Norry Publier 6 avr  dans #Food #Sport #DukascopyMarathon #Drinkwater #Morningexercises #100Steps #Losekg
Goodmorning!
So,
Woke up early, did ten reps and 3 sets of some ab workout and push-ups.
Started to go jogging and after 400 meters I got that burning sensation in my chest!
I really am not in shape man!
Just walked for the rest of the way
I have totally lost it...
What an couch potato I am!
Walked a bit more today, so yeah!
I don't know how accurate these apps are, But Yesterday i didn't reach the daily 10000 steps..only 6781...
Ahh well,

So I need to drink less Coffee??

Norry Publier 5 avr  dans #Food #Sport #DukascopyMarathon #Drinkwater #100Steps #Losekg
I do have to admit... I drink a lot of coffee per day.
Usually 4 - 5 cups a day...
Already had my first for the day
So as of today I'll try and drink warm water more frequently when i'm at work.
The dispenser with warm water is in the next building, because the one where I sit is broken.
So that will increase my steps count
Water water water for today!
