Work-out: COMMIT2FIT

Zelfs na mijn goede voornemens op de laatste dag van 2013, heeft het me ruim een halve maand gekost om een nieuwe post te plaatsen. Best schandalig hoor ik je zeggen? Nee hoor, want ik was druk bezig met mijn leven weer in een normaal ritme te krijgen. Klinkt veel zwaarder dan het is hoor. Ik ben op de valreep van 2013 begonnen aan een nieuwe baan, maar in de periode die daarvoor ligt was ik al gestopt met sporten en bloggen. Nu ik alweer 2 maanden in dienst ben bij mijn nieuwe baan is het hoogtijd om beide hobbies weer op te pakken!

Vandaag ga ik het hebben over mijn actiefste hobby: sporten!
Mijn sport motivatie haal ik van mijn favoriete sportblog: Girls Love 2 Run. Ik ben serieus begonnen met hardlopen door deze 2 meiden. Mijn andere motivatie haal ik van Pinterest (check mijn work-out board hier!). Al een paar maanden heb ik de deal staan om met een vriendinnetje elke maandag te gaan hardlopen. Dat bleek niet voldoende voor deze used-to-be fanatieke-amateur-sporter. In december besloot ik mee te doen met een challenge, van de hierboven genoemde blog. De Why Wait challenge. Het was de bedoeling om in de maand december een totale afstand van 70km te lopen. Nou... die challenge heb ik niet gehaald, meer woorden zal ik er niet aan spenderen.
Maar in 2014 nieuwe ronden nieuwe kansen. Momenteel doe ik mee met de commit2fit challenge. Hierbij moet je in de maand januari proberen om 15 work-outs te doen. Het mag van alles zijn.
Op dit moment ben ik ook hier nog ver mee: pas op 5/15....

2 januari deed ik een les BodyCombat
8 januari deed ik een les BodyPump
10 januari ging ik hardlopen
13 januari ging ik hardlopen met mijn loopmaatje
15 januari deed ik weer een les BodyPump

Maar ik geef nog niet op hoor. Ik heb nog helemaal niet gekeken of nog 10 work-outs deze maand nog haalbaar zijn in mijn drukke agenda. Ik zie het wel, hopelijk verras ik mezelf.
Vanavond staat er een grote nieuwjaars work-out / Les Mills release party (de les mills gangers onder jullie weten vast wel wat ik bedoel...) op het programma, dan zit ik alweer op 6. In de tussentijd ga ik nog wat work-out plaatjes pinnen ter motivatie.... Ik laat jullie weten of het lukt!

New in: Running in Pink!

 

 

Yesterday it was D-day! And YES I ran, I ran the 13k. With my ankle in tape, but I did it. It was so hot, and the 13K seemed endless. So I figured I deserved a little present for my efforts: these new Nike Lunarglides. I actually got them last week, but I wasn't alowed to wear them until after my race. So hello new pink running shoes!



A photo of my man and me yesterday after the finish. Since I was so proud to have completed the 13K, I figured I could bore you guys with this image :)

Happy Monday!

The Work-out: Almost D-day! & Blog Poll

Not so charming huh? Well this was me last year at Rondje Tilburg. Sunday is the next edition, where I'm gonna take 13K on. For the people who follow me on instagram (@amysfashionscrapbook) may have seen my injury. Yes I kind f*cked up my ankle. So yesterday eve I went to this Fysio-guy, and Saturday morning we are going to test my ankle, see if running is going to be a good idea. I'll keep you posted.
On a different note I have started a new blogging adventure! From now on I also blog for Tilburg.com, it's in Dutch, so if any Dutchies are interested, get you ass over HERE and read my first blog.

On a last note: I'm experiencing a little struggle with my blog. I want to blog about my whole life, so fashion, working-out, travels and good food. Are you keen for that?

Diary: Having Fun in April

Time flies when your having fun! Well that sure was the case in April. I know, April is still full on (and I'll be posting heaps of pictures on instagram, so you'll know what I'm upto.) Back to the last few weeks. Wow what a months! I went to my first blogger event, hosted by a CreamPR, it was my birthday, we had sun, and I was running alot. 

The USB card we got at CreamPR / Another run done! / I got this fashionology ring from the sweet Cindy from COTTDS. / The men and I went to a concert at 013.

More working-out: Spinning / I worked in our garden. It still looks kinds winter in this pic / The sun has returned / Some new decorations for our house

More running! Finally lapped the 13 km for the first time, in this 3rd week of April. / New pillow, looks like cute little Zipp, the dog of my in-laws. / Mini me! Running around in New Zealand / It was my 29th B-day! 

The last week of April I started with a run / On Tuesday the man and I went for a long walk after dinner, love spring in the city! / Look at this sky! We were enjoying our dinner on our rooftop terrace! / Oops, new Nike Running shoes for the man and me! 

In this last weekend of April some great things are planned; also Queensday (for the Dutchies) is upcoming in these last days. Make sure you follow me on Instagram to stay up-to-date! (@Amysfashionscrapbook) 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

The Work-out: The #bikinibattle Challenge

As you might know, I run. And one of my new years resolutions is that I take running more seriously. I am.
Dude, I have been running. I have joined the challenge set by the lovely ladies of Girlslove2run: The #bikinibattle.

Well I'm half-way through April and I have to say, it's not going as well as I though it would go. Usually I'm really dedicated when I have rules to live by, but now not so much. Yeah I do run, I run twice a week. I do at the very least one work-out a week, but I compensate the other work-out by walking on my lunchbreak every day (yeah, at least 30 min. of walking every day). So that's all good. But it's the candy. The candy. 

I didn't realize how much crap I eat a day! Yeah, my breakfast and lunch are super healthy, but then when the clock marks 4PM... and a colleague ask you if you want some winegums... Or last week when I bought chocolate because I just needed chocolate. And in the evening: watching Game of Thrones with my man, drinking a cup of tea, and eating a big iced cookie (for the Dutchies: Roze koeken!!). Yes, I defiantly need more focus in the food department. 

We already established that the frequency of my work-outs and runs are okay. But there is another challenge! I didn't just join this challenge to wear a bikini this summer. Since I haven't booked a holiday, I'm not too concerned about my bikini-body at the moment. So there is another reason: my personal challenge. Just after the end of this month, on the 5th of May to be exact, I'm competing in the 13k of "rondje Tilburg" (for the non-Dutch: The Round of Tilburg, which is my home town). When I entered this competition I could hardly run 3k. In two weeks time I have to run 13k. Last Sunday I finally hit the 13k mark. I did take a little break after 5k, cause I really needed to use the bathroom and drink a glass of water. But after 15min break I was back on track. I added another 0.5k to compensate though.... not sure if that had any effect, but I like to punish myself in that way (yeah, I'm weird!). 

So the plan for this week is to run the full 13k in one go; not sure WHEN I'm going to do that. With my B-day weekend starting on Friday, and lasting all the way up to Sunday evening, I don't know how I'm going to plan that. Since I'm working the whole week, and making arrangements for two party's. Oh well, guessing there are bigger problems in the world. ;) 

So follow me on instagram (@amysfashionscrapbook) to see how my challenge is going. I can tell you one thing: I'm sure I'll be having candy (& beer!) during the week this week. 'Cause what's a party without cake? It's just a frikin' meeting! 

Ps: I forgot all about the water drinking part! Well save that for next time :)
