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.

Day 6: Pushing Your Boundaries & Enjoying

I love challenges. Mental, physical and a mixture of both. The working time is usually intensive, requiring good concentration abilities and the result, obviously, is rewarding – after all, that’s something you waited for, wanted and managed to achieve!
Around two years ago I was a completely unsporty young lady who preferred muffins and chocolate snacks over a run. Realizing that my body is pretty weak, I started working on my weaknesses: climbing, working on my legs, buttocks and biking every…
