DAY FIVE

IIt's not the body it's the brain, I can get body to perform, I have the power and stamina, my brain just wanna give up. It's a freaking struggle, it tells me to stop and to slow down and save my energy. 

I need some mental training really really bad!! Ah, miss to train with others! 

MORNING:

Workout: 

4km run

80 sit-ups

25 push-ups

80 walking lounges

10 burpees

Breakfast: watermelon, mango and coffee and more coffee

MIDDAY:

Lunch: Chicken Salad - this is becoming my standard

Workout: trying to SURF for about an hour, it was a great time and will happen tomorrow again.

NIGHT:

Dinner: I was exhausted and we decided to eat at the hotel. Usually the food is quite ok, but I guess I just headed for the wrong dish.

They grilled the shit out of a poor piece of beef, it was drier than Sahara. It was propped on top of a potatoe gratain block and served with GRAPES... and port sauce... 

All I really could eat was the meat if I dipped it deep into the river of port sauce. I needed protein that bad! 

DAY FOUR

MORNING:

Workout: 

50 sit-ups

30 push-ups

20 squats

Breakfast: watermelon and some cheese and the usual stupid amount of coffee 

No running this morning, I might go for a run with my brother tonight. 

MIDDAY:

Lunch; chicken salad and a piña colada (like SERIOUSLY)

Workout: 2h brisk walk with my brother

NIGHT:

Dinner: Brazilian Meat with veggies and rice. And a weird dulce lechte pudding... Gotta love brazil... Oh with a Bohemian beer.

Conclusion: I am drinking WAY TOO much alcohol! It's just such yummy drinks! And everything is soooo relaxed and warm... Fuzzy... Fuzzy...

DAY THREE

Work-out: run on the beach (25min)

50 sit ups

20 push ups

Orange juice and water 

MIDDAY:

DAY TWO

Waking up just to realise that Im damn sore from yesterday! Ugh!

MORNING:

Workout:

20 push-ups

40 sit ups

Breakfast: tapioca pancake with butter, lots of coffee and watermelon. 

MIDDAY:

Workout: 8km walk in brisk pace

Lunch: mojito (still with the family) and a chicken salad

And a fresh coconut... YUM

NIGHT:

Dinner: Chevice and some sort of lobster risotto and then the oddest desert I've ever eaten. 

Conclusion: it's the third day in Natal and my skin is sore from the sun and my legs from yesterday's running. I will run tomorrow morning again! I am having a hard time motivating myself. I must motivate myself better!

AND I NEED to drink more water! 

DAY ONE

MORNING

Workout: 25 min run (I hate running but listening to a podcast made it more bearable) 

80 sit-ups

20 push-ups

 

Breakfast: Fruits, lots of fresh fruit, some bacon and waaaay too much coffee with milk - I also had a tapioca pancake with shredded coconut and condensed milk. Too sweet... so I only ate half of it.

MIDDAY:

Workout: I took an about 8km walk along the beach, pretty brisk pace. 

Lunch: Tuna salad with a few rings of fried calamari, and a mojito... It's vacation by the beach... 

NIGHT:

Dinner: Lots of meats and veggies at a Brazilian MEAT restuarant. I can for sure say I gotten enough proteins. 

Conclusion: I need to continue to drink water, it really is key. I don't get tired from running, just a little bored. So I need to find something that motivated me more.

Back in shape for 2015 - 15 days of progress

So since the World Cup in Dallas I've done nothing but been lazy. I came back to Sweden and I got really sick and then I just ended up being social and enjoying holidays over working out. I did go for walks and I even went ice-skating one day. But in general I drank and are more than I exercised... I also know that I will mentally feel better if I get to work out each day! It's really important to me! I love working out, and I hate it at the same time. To be deadpan honest, I know a thousand things I rather do than work out. So I always need to find ways to keep it interesting and challenging. 

But I decided now when I'm in Brazil - I will really try to get back in shape. And I decided to use this blog as a sort of progress blog. Since it hasn't been used forever and I like to keep tabs on myself!!

So here we go!!

And this is not about looking better, it is about performing better, it's about becoming the best you can be.

I will leave Brazil more fit and more tanned and ready for the 2015 season!

I still know how to snowboard

It was AMAZING to snowboard again - i miss it - and i finally feel like I have à healthy relationship to snowbaording. We can have fun together - and I wanna go again.
