Wrap-Up: New Deals, Books, & Posts

Wrap-Up: New Deals, Books, & Posts #writertip #pubtip

Back by popular demand! My weekly round-up post that includes the latest book deal news from Publisher’s Marketplace. I was so, so surprised by how many people approached me telling me they missed these posts. They take a lot of effort to put together, so I stopped. But since you lovelies keep asking for it back, I’ll be doing it on Monday from now on.

Five weeks done. Only one week left!

Recap: Sunday 27th of May - Saturday 2nd of June

This past week I've been "bad". There were Distortion, which is a yearly street party and I attended Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I only had a beer Thursday, but Wednesday and Friday I got drunk... Nevertheless I feel fine and otherwise I've been keeping it paleo. The only thing I still find hard to limit is my carb intake. I just love fruits (dried and fresh) and paleo sweets, and I'm eating way too many date balls. I've decided to allow myself the spoil when I'm studying for exam. As long as it's paleo and doesn't go completely out of control.

Changes: 

Flat stomach, not bloated, energized, happier, want to be active and exercise, muffin top almost gone and abs are “peeping through” the fat on my stomach.

I could button my old denim shorts which I used a lot in high school! (Even though I should loose a pound or two before they look good on my).

My goals for this week were:

Eat plenty of meat and vegetables. Done! I could eat more vegetables, though.

Maximum 2 pieces of fruit per day. The fruit can also be substituted for paleo snacks. I really tried. I'm better than before the low carb week, but I didn't follow it 100%

Try to eat 1-3 big meals a day and not snack that much (listen to my body: eat when I’m hungry and don’t when my not) It's hard not to snack and to listen to the body because I often eat for fun, out of boredom or because I feel like it even though I'm not hungry. I do, however, try to listen more to my body and drink water/tea when I feel hungry. It's getting better!

Limit intake of nuts (no more than a small handful a day)  Oh my... Almonds are my new favorite snack and I ate way to many the past week. I didn't buy a new bag of almonds when the old one ran out and I have abstinences!

Limit intake of dairy products YES! I did this! I only had a little bit of butter and cheese, and I'm getting good at surviving without dairy as a part of my daily foods.

Crossfit at least 3 times Crossfit 4 times - YAY!

Run 2 times (one of them should be a Cooper’s test) I did ran 2 times! One of them was for 32 minutes which is more than two Cooper's tests (even though I didn't time the 12 minutes)

Do small exercises at home I only did two small workouts at home - I want to be better at these. 10 minutes a day = more than an hour extra each week!

Improve in at least two of my workouts or goals I improved one: My push ups (did 15).

Went well this week:

I kept to paleo food (Except from when I drank alcohol at Distortion)).

Flat stomach and muffin top almost gone.

I went to crossfit four times.

I kept a pretty healthy diet despite my usually bad habits of snacking when studying for exam.

I started to run again. Did two runs!

I exercised about 5 hours and 20 minutes this week, which is fine!

Goals for next week:

Eat plenty of meat and vegetables!!!

Exercise for at least 6 hours in total.

Try to eat big meals and not to snack - only eat when hungry

Limit intake of nuts

Limit intake of dairy products

Study hard and focus on my coming exam!

Run at least 2 times

Do at least 4 of the small workouts at home (min 5 minutes!)

Improve in at least two of my workout-times or "goals".
