Has it really been so long

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted on this blog! 

What can I say too much to do not enough time...

I've done a couple of runs, kept up boxing still did a bit of pole dance, which I've given up on just because it's a bit too pricey and sadly the classes I want to do always intervene with my boxing -.-

I've also travelled a lot! 

I've been to Africa, America, Turkey, England, France, Sweden and I'm headed to Italy, England (again) and AUSTRALIA! 

Very excited about that!!!

I sadly haven't been doing a lot of running, I've been in a running slump... but I've done more and more HIIT training on the bike, which has improved my cardio immensely :)

I've also done a fitness check up and in comparison to 2014 july I've lost 5 kilos of fat and gained 3 kilos of muscle!  LOVE IT! Although now i've gained some weight and can't seem to lose it -.-

I've become more social, started going out more, more dinners, more drinks but balancing my workouts ... I've been trying to go to the gym at LEAST 5 times a week and for the past month or so it's been working with of course a couple of exceptions.

Here are a couple of photos I've taken for the blog over the last couple of months and haven't posted ...

365/365

I hope everyone's been having a great time achieving their goals and having a wonderful holiday stuffing their faces, at least that's what I've been up to :)

I've been on holiday since last Tuesday the 23rd of December and have been doing quite well I must say, the first day Tuesday I went for an hour long walk, then I went for my first winter run on Friday the 26th my second on Sunday the 28th and my last yesterday Tuesday the 30th. Daily I've been doing the Ab challenge although I've decided to take on two days in one and do one day in the morning another in the evening. On the days I haven't been running I've been doing floor work, pushups, squats, weight lunges, jumping rope exercises and more :)

For the past two days however it has been snowing hardcore and I've had to go out multiple times a day to clear the driveway so I've been building up my arm strength through that :p

Anyway today I was scrolling through instagram and discovered that you can add photos to your nike runs ! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!??? 

So I obviously had to do this and here's what I came up with :) Wishing you all a lovely New Years! x

Better late then never..

This post is about yesterday! I was planning on writing something but got too busy at work and forgot about it.. You guys know how that is right?

Anyway yesterday morning I went to the gym managed to get up at 6:20 am for that yaaaay ! 

My outfit of the day was sponsored by my dear family aka Eleanore who got me both the top and bottom from lulu lemon ! I always feel so cool wearing the clothes from there as it doesn't exist in Vienna I get to be like "boyaaaa in your face" ;)

Anyway I did a 20 minute warmup on the cross trainer which was great I took a photo of that too :p

I then went on to do 100 squats, 10 minutes of jump rope, 50 leg lifts and 50 crunches ! 

Boy did my tummy buuuurn! 

On the way to work then I stopped by my favorite supermarket called Merkur on Hohermarkt (in Vienna) and bought myself this amazing green smoothie from true fruits!

It was the second smoothie I tried from them and I went back today to get the same one again! First off it's super healthy it's filled with matcha, ginger, kale, spinach, pear, banana and apple and it tastes great none the less!!! There also aren't any added sugars and the smoothie comes in a glass bottle meaning you can reuse it as something or recycle it ! 

I saw today that they have liter bottles as well! So getting one of those for the weekend at home :)

The back label of the bottle is also entertaining to read (yes I read those! My friend is a nutrishionist and since she always checks the sugar amounts and what not I've started doing that too) 

So if you can go buy this smoothie ! I'm sure it's something wholefoods would have :) so I just did a little research on true fruits and they give you a bunch of ideas as to what to do with the bottle once finished consuming ! You can use it for oil or salt or soy sauce or God knows what! Either way they give you the option to buy different lids on their website ... I love it! Have a read here: www.true-fruits.com

As for today I'm not going to the gym or doing anything sporty as matter of fact :)

Happy weekend :)
