How can I actually see results?
In the last couple of weeks, I did an extra workout: moving into another place! Lifting boxes, climbing thousands of stairs, putting stuff into place... It was heavy but awesome! Another project that shows its results: the journey to getting there isn't always as nice, but in the end you're one happy girl!
Now back to my coolest project since ages: personal training! I'm still loving it. Getting stronger and fitter, although I don't actually SEE a lot of difference... I learnt that nutrition is key to see results, since the skin (or body fat) is still covering up those abs. (By the way, did you know that products that contain a lot of milk can create a thicker skin?) On the other hand, my body has always been quite muscular and 'dry' and when I would start a diet to get leaner, I'd look like a female bodybuilder within days.
At this point I usually eat a bowl of Greek yoghurt with nuts, some banana and honey in the morning, a big salad during lunch and a normal meal (veggies, some chicken, fish or whatever, that kind of stuff) in the evening. Yes, I love chocolate and cakes, but I try not to eat them at work. Only in the weekends to regulate my sugar addiction. For me this is 'normal' eating. I know its not super duper healthy and of course I can eat a full bag of chips after a night of heavy drinking, but its okay since I'm NOT on a diet!
Confession 1: last weekend while moving out I ate two stroopwafels for breakfast. Confession 2: I didn't have any lunch that day as well. Confession 3: I almost ate two pizzas in the evening. See? I'm not a robot and I don't want to be as long as I stay healthy. Like trainer Joe says: "You've got to live a little, since working out is not your life but your hobby. It should be fun, so don't be too hard on yourself outside workout hours, because you don't want your fit lifestyle to become an enemy." And see? These are the results after ten personal training hours in seven weeks!
Another kick-ass result: I was two minutes (!!) faster in my circuits-for-time in comparison to the first time I did them. Ten rounds of 20 sit-ups, 10 burpees, 20 ball-squats. Holy shit, I AM A FIT GIRL!
