Day 21: The Finish Line

romantie Posted 26 Apr  in #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Losekg #Sleepwell
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

romantie Posted 25 Apr  in #Food #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Fruitsvegetables #Moisturize
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

romantie Posted 24 Apr  in #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Losekg #Sleepwell
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 17: Relax When Needed

romantie Posted 22 Apr  in #Food #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Readbook #Steamedfood
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 13: Healthy Breakfast = Fuel For The Day

romantie Posted 18 Apr  in #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Tightmuscles #Sleepwell #Fruitsvegetables
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

romantie Posted 17 Apr  in #Food #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Readbook #Steamedfood
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 …

Day 11: Welcome To My Face

romantie Posted 16 Apr  in #Food #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Fruitsvegetables #Moisturize
Happy Easter, dear lovely Dukascopy community members!
Today is a lovely Sunday with lots of sunshine and a festive mood, so I would like to welcome you... to my face. Bare, not polished, without a drop of make up (no eyebrow tattoos or add-on lashes) and even a zit on my chin. I'm a human just like you and I love to treat my face with make-up free days and lots, LOTS of moisturizing. So this Sunday is one of those, when I am without any make up, drinking lots of water and enjoying plenty of moi…

Day 10: Mental Holidays

romantie Posted 15 Apr  in #Food #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Sleepwell #Steamedfood
Happy Easter everyone!
Since here in Latvia we are enjoying 4 wonderful days off, I am using a so-needed time to refresh my mind and relax to the fullest. Keeping sports aside at this very moment I planned my days throughout, spending time with my family, reading, cooking and simply enjoying little things that make every woman happy, such as beauty procedures.
I have realized that I "burn out" very quickly (see my previous post) so I really, really needed those days off to fully relax and "rech…

Day 9: Sleeping Bauty

romantie Posted 14 Apr  in #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Tightmuscles #Readbook #Cutoutlactose
I have to admit I'm not too much a person of balance. If I work, I work to the max. If I rest, I rest to the max... I just don't know how to do it for the "medium" level, so as I go to work I try to give it all, all the time until I basically "burn out".
It's been a little more than half a year that I haven't had holidays and it doesn't seem that I am about to have any soon either. So naturally, I get tired (also, add gym and running besides my work) and yesterday was not an exception either. Fe…

Day 8: Little Birdie Wants Some Seeds

romantie Posted 13 Apr  in #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Tightmuscles #Sleepwell #Cutoutlactose
Viva la healthy breakfast, runners!
Since I am trying to push myself to run more, researching (and experimenting) with foods has become yet another daily habit of mine. I am trying to find the best possible combinations that would nourish my body and would prepare it for a long, intensive, a few-hour lasting movement. A lot of people who start running ask themselves - what is it specifically that I should before a run? How do I make sure I get everything I need and don't feel too heavy when I'm…
