Day 21: The Finish Line

And here it is: the last, the final, the most waited day of Dukascopy Marathon!
Here's a short summary of the things I've achieved within those 21 days:
1. Minimized my fat & sugar consumption
Instead, I decided to stick to low-calorie, fulfilling meals. For snacks I was choosing nuts, berries and seeds instead of sugary buns or chocolates.
2. Instead of taking a bus to work, I chose bike
Within 21 days I managed to bike 2.7x2x21 = 113 kilometers!
3. Improved my running speed
Went for a run …

Day 20: Birthday Girl

Thanks to my wonderful, gorgeous and beautiful mother, exactly 27 years ago on a rainy yet warm Wednesday morning I was born. "She's got long eyelashes!" - the midwife said for the first time, when giving me, all happy and snuggly, to my mother. Nobody knew back then that this little thing would grow into a ginger-haired girl who would have an unimaginable lust to travel, to experience, to challenge herself and others. That she would have such love for the sea, for writing and she would spend he…

Day 19: Gym Gym Gym

After finishing 10 kilometers yesterday I thought I should give a little bit of a break for my legs. That, however, did not stop me from sports: I still went to the gym, ran 2 kilometers (as a warm up) and continued the training with exercises focused on my upper body - back, chest and arms.
I feel that fully focusing and dedicating one training to my lower body allows me to achieve better results in running as I tend to stretch and "prepare" muscles in that way. As for the upper part - always h…

Day 18: When You're Feeling Like a Lazy A$$

Laziness is something that every person has to a bigger or lesser extent. People say, that the ones who normally use their brains at work (as opposed to physical work) also tend to be a loooot lazier on a daily basis. And I admit - I'm a lazy person. Very lazy. I love eating muffins and drinking tea while fully, to the hundred percent, enjoying my couch potato lifestyle. I don't like to move and I much more prefer to just sit and enjoy the nothingness.
But at the same time I have a will do becom…

Day 17: Relax When Needed

It was a busy week. Lots of work, lots of business meetings, lots of stress and lots of sports, so I am taking this Saturday to fully relax and spend just with myself & my own thoughts doing the things that I adore and that bring me happiness and piece.
In fact, we don't just relax because it's fun. We relax to improve our mental and physical health, to "take a break" from the routine and go back on track to being fully effective and action-driven. We all know: life can get pretty full on someti…

Day 16: Pumpin' Up Those Muscles

Today was a lovely Friday - bright and sunshiny unlike the other days this week. Having religiously followed Dukascopy marathon for 15 days in a row today was not an exception either - so right after finishing my (this time - late) working day around 7pm I headed to the gym to pump those muscles.
Going for a run quite often I came to realization that my arms are not the strongest part of my body, so I should focus on triceps in particular.
I still haven't managed to see significant results, but …

Day 15: How do you spoil yourself?

Being a sugar junkie for a long time I’ve got to admin – damn, sugar is good. Sometimes I get those super-bad sugar craving when nearly anything that puts an extra on you looks yummy – let it be a chocolate bar, a piece of cake or anything else from that sort.
Trying to get into shape is never easy, and this time is not an exception either. To get rid of a habit of consuming foods that are both unhealthy and do not bring any benefit for my body (but pleasure) I decided to make a short list of t…

Day 13: Healthy Breakfast = Fuel For The Day

I guess your mother (just like mine) was right: breakfast is a really important meal. Perhaps, the most important of the day. Having a good having of eating breakfast every day is linked to many health benefits, including weight control and improved performance.
When I was a little younger I would normally stick to a so-called "big brunch" instead of breakfast - I'd rather eat later, around 10-11 am and would stick to rather heavy foods, such as pancakes, scrambled eggs or a sandwich. As years g…

Day 12: Dance Baby, Dace

Mondays are not very often the days which I enjoy, however today (since here in Latvia we are having a day off) I dedicated the whole day to polishing a few of my latina dance moves. A bit of a pity that I don't have a video nor pictures but I promise to be a good girl and make a few next time
Morning:
Started with a fresh breakfast smoothie. 2 bananas, a glass of soymilk, a few frozen strawberries and 1/2 of lemon juice, topped with lemon zest. Tasty, fresh, sweet and nourishing plus plenty of …
