It’s just the beginning

My gym’s sixty day challenge is over and even though food wise I didn’t do as well as I had hoped, I did everything I could on the working out part. I ended up gaining weight overall, but since it’s all muscle I’m very satisfied with that.

Challenge – Week 2

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

Week 2 of the 60 day Body Transformation Challenge is over and I’ve been good this week! I worked out a lot and after meal prepping for 4 hours last Sunday I ate pretty well too.

I did 6 workouts this week.

Challenge – Week 1

This week has been crazy busy. Taking care of the boys from 7 to 5 and working from 5 to 10 every day is a lot of work, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. This week was so special at work.

Healthy kickstart

I’ve started my last semester of college 3 weeks ago and I’m loving my classes. I’m only taking 2 classes and then I’ll have my Personal Trainer certificate, which is very exciting. One of the classes mostly focuses on how to coach and how to give one-on-one training. The other class is a workout class, which is great to help me get in shape before I take a job as a Personal Trainer. 

Yoga with a view

About a month ago, my friend Sae, who I got to know through the Herbalife community, invited me to go down to the beach to do some yoga. I thought it was worth a try, since I had been wanting to get my first real yoga experience for a while now. And let’s be honest… What better setting to have a relaxing yoga session than right on the beach?!

I ran my first half marathon

 

Hi guys,

Last weekend I went all the way up to Santa Barbara where I ran my first half marathon. I was so excited about this because I worked hard to get in shape and to be able to run a good time.

My first half marathon is just 1 week away

I can’t believe that it’s May already. The past couple of months have flown by and I’m kinda freaking out that my half marathon is coming up next Saturday. I’m going to run 13.1 miles and I hope I can do it in less than 2 hours.

Running favorites

Hi guys! It’s time for a running post again! I was running the other day and I realized that I never before shared my running essentials with you guys. The items pictures above are my current favorites. Keep reading to know what precisely everything is and why I love them!

Take a break & enjoy the view

Sometimes, people tend to overdo. It often happens to me and then I end up injured on my foot or back, or something else that makes me feel bad comes up. Whenever I run, I need to take breaks. Not only because I feel tired or because I’m thirsty. Sometimes I just take a break because, especially when I’m running at the strand, I’m falling in love with the view.

March Workout Schedule

Training for a half marathon is not an easy thing to do. It asks for a lot of motivation, dedication and will power. You can’t just show up at the race without months of preparation. I tell you, that would be mission impossible.

Next to running 5 days a week, I also have a weight lifting class (1,5 hour) on Monday and Wednesday evening and since I would love to actually have abs when showing off in my bikini in a couple of months, I added the Lorna Jane Ab Challenge to my workout week too.
