Time for a (body) change!

"Every woman that finally figured out her worth, has picked up her suitcases of pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which landed in the valley of change." - Shannon L. Adler

Running Routine!

As some of you know, my boyfriend and I have started our 3-months nutrition and fitness plan (by Powerfood's J.-M.B, here)! But, as I am not a fitness blogger, I won't share every single detail of my progress but only things that may motivate you, like some healthy recipes or exercises or a few things that relate to my personal change. If you're searching for a fitness blogger, then I would recommend you a friend of mine, Jenny (link to her blog).

Yesterday, my boyfriend Jeff and I had our first check-up at our coach's home. He showed us every single exercise precisely, and what can I say... my whole body burns like hell!!
I have so many super-sets on my fitness plan...urgh! But "when it burns, then it works", right? Let's hope for the best! Our next Check-up will be in two weeks and I am super excited to see if my body will show any changes...

Training Hard!

I have to hit the gym 4 times per week (the other days I will go on a run with my fluffy bear, as I am super motivated right now I can't just sit at home and do nothing) and I have a 2days/2days nutrition plan, which means that every 2 days my plan will change from high carbohydrates ("KH") & low fat (good fats) to low carbohydrates and more fats. I think this is pretty much fun because CHANGE is something really important if you don't want to lose your motivation, and ROUTINE will kill it.

To understand why we wanted a fitness and nutrition plan, I will firstly explain my athletic and physique goals: I didn't feel really comfortable in my body the last few months, but I tried everything to improve my well-being but I often lost my motivation and focus...and having a coach means that there is always someone who will be there to push you and because I have a lot of respect for my coach I don't want to disappoint him with negative results, so this time I need to keep my focus!

I don't want to participate in any competition; I just want to build some more muscles and reduce my fat percentage (24,7%!!!, nearly 1/4 of my whole body)! I want to be a better me, the best I can be! I want to feel comfortable again and to look awesome (summer is coming soon!!!!!), and I am really curious how my body will change and what I will look like in 3 months. I know that 3 months are not enough but it's a perfect start. As I am a really ambitious person, I want to break out of my comfort zone and pursue my goals. That's why I often vistit the accounts of Lone Noras (here), Margret Gnarr (here), Emily Skye (her facebook page), Paige Hathaway (her account) and Sara Back (here)! I have so much respect for those women and their effort, focus and their bodies!! Have you seen their physique?? Absolutely perfect!! They are amazing athlethes!

Love my Nike Shoes!

As I just got back from the gym, I feel like dying even more than this morning... but as I had a car accident last week, I was physically unable to hit the gym because I hurt my neck and I had to wear a toby collar (so annoying) for 10 days, so yesterday was the first time after nearly 2 weeks.

Now I will add my new fitness and meal plan into my Filofax, take a good muscles-relaxing bath and then start my meal preparation for the next 2 days!

Wish you a nice day :)
