NOT DEAD. I SWEAR

Just been away from home (and will continue to be so for another week) and there's absolutely no internet connection anywhere. 

(I'm currently sitting on inside of a café, instead of out in the sun.) 

I'll be back soon and I hope everyone has been keeping up with the amazing work!! (I have, in the very least, maintained my weight.)

51.    Do you have a cheat day?

Oh yes. Usually it's either Saturday or Sunday, every other weekend.

Zombies, run! 5k - Week 7, Workout 2

This time around, I knew what was coming so I was much better prepared (mentally, that is) for how hard the whole thing was going to be.

Result? I ran all my free form runs, which meant I managed to run for fifteen minutes and incorporate the skipping drills too. (No skipping on anything, hah.)

I loveeeed today's story too. No spoilers or anything, I just love the runner that accompanied me this time. Her accent is delish.

Friday I'm finishing week seven and then I will probably start week eight on Monday. I can't believe it's almost over!

50.    Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?

Still no scale in sight! (I rather like this, to be honest...) but I'm nearly done with the 30 Day Shred and I promise to post an update on my measurements then!

Zombies, run! 5k - Week 7, Workout 1

Oh my dear god.

I don't know why I expected this week to be easy. I really don't. I guess I read the description and failed to realize that it would entail a FIFTEEN minute run, with skipping in between.

I was dead by the end of the running drills. (All that skipping is something else.) And so it was impossible to keep going and do the first five minute free form run. I knew I would get a two minute warning, so I gave myself those two minutes to just walk slowly and get my bearings back.

It helped. I finished the remaining three minutes and then went on to do the other two five minute runs. I was dying by the end of it, but I did it! 

I enjoyed the storyline, but I wish there had been a little more of Sam in it. Somehow I keep expecting more from these workouts.

49.    What do you usually have for breakfast?

Natural yogurt with muesli and honey and if it's a run day, then I'll probably have fruit before going and then eat this. To be fair, I change my breakfast around often, I just love muesli and yogurt the most.

48.    Do you reward yourself when you reach your short-term goal? What are your rewards?

Other than probably dance around in my room, there's no reward to be had. I don't deprive myself of anything as I'm doing this, so I don't really need a reward when I reach one of my mini-goals. Plus, achieving one of my goals is rewarding enough.

I'm a tad behind on everything!

Sorry! Vacation + Crappy connection + Broken laptop = Mess of a tumblr! I'll make sure to catch up tomorrow. I'm behind on both my Zombies, run! 5k logs and the 80 days challenge but not for long! Going for my second workout of week seven tomorrow, wish me luck because that skipping session is a b****!

47. Have you forbidden yourself any type of food? Not really! That’s what cheat days are for! Haha

Zombies, run! 5k - Week 6, Workout 3

WEEK SIX IS FINITO! 

To think I'm more than halfway done. Two weeks left, five workouts before the last 5k run. 

And I'm not sure if I'm all that ready for that. I really suffered through this last one, but once I finished and saw that my pace had increase by almost half a minute, it was worth it!

Either way, regardless of wether or not I'm up to a 5k yet, I'm definitely ready for week seven! 

Also, I really, really need new music.

I've listened to my small playlist so many times, it's not all that fun anymore. I really enjoy upbeat, pop-y songs. (It's important that there are lyrics as I like to sing along.)

Any suggestions would be welcomed :)) Pretty please?

46. Try changing your routine today. Don’t do the same exercises as the week before, learn a new move to cinch that waiste or to tone those thighs! I just started Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred, so I would say those 27 minutes were all about new moves! I am dead.

Nike Knitted Shoes

At the Nike Innovation Summit at Portland, Oregon this week, the sportswear giant introduced the colorful and intriguing Nike Free Flyknit running shoes.  Featuring a knitted one-piece upper, these shoes have stretchy openings that allow you to put them on like socks and are designed to firmly secure the runner’s foot to the shoe platform. According to Sean McDowell, creative director of Nike, “This shoe feels so light and so well cushioned it’s as close to running in a sock as you can get—so to your mind your feet feel ‘free’—but it also provides all the support you need.”

How pretty are these? GIMME

45. Do you have a rest day when you don’t work out? Which day is it? I know this is important. That our bodies need rest days, but since I’ve been doing the 30 Day Shred, I haven’t had any. I think I’m doing the POP Pilates Beginners Calendar next month and I’ll that one considers rest days!

Zombies, run! 5k - Week 6, Workout 2

Life really gets in the way sometimes. I was meant to go running on Monday, then on Tuesday and I only managed to go yesterday. By then I was itching to go and it felt amazing.

Alright, perhaps during the run I had a few ‘Oh my god, my legs are going to fall off’ moments, but since I had managed to run all the free form runs during the first workout, there was no way I was going to give up this time around.

I am also away from home for the time being and had to say goodbye to the beautiful flat surfaces I’m used to, at the park. I think that messed with my pace, but I’m happy for the diversity. It’s beautiful out here, by the way.

I was happier with the story this time around, the snippets were cute and I’m always up for a plot twist. Now I have six workouts left and then it’s the 5k - HOW WEIRD IS THAT?

44. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Does (s)he know about you losing weight? Does (s)he support you? Nope, I'm currently single. Although, if I had one, he better well damn support me!

[beingfitandfab]

My internet is a tricky thing at the moment, so I'll write and post my newest Zombie, run! 5k workout tomorrow!

43. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week? I am away from home once again... Next week!
