I have to make an announcement.......

As mentioned in my last post, I will give you now the answer of why I put the american flag into my collage...

Since I was a little child, I´m really interesting in the States! And it was a really big dream of mine of visiting the States one day.

Regarding an business event of my company, I was in Cambridge/Boston in 2011 and 2012... and what I have to say... I really fell in love with Boston... and my dream came true!

Last week I had an appraisal interview with my boss and he gave me the go-ahead of my wish of doing a advanced language course..... in Boston, MA! A total of two weeks!

This will be the third time in a row of visiting Boston! I love this city!!
I´m thrilled to bits!! That´s so amazing!

Due to my tough time plan of my distance learning it will be only possible for me to travel in autuum (end of September, beginning of October).

Maybe I´ll add some days for visiting NYC... !!! This city is on the top range of my "Must-See City-List".

Who of you lives at the East Coast of the States, e.g. in the next area of Boston / New York? Will anyone of you plan the participation in the Boston Half-Marathon on October, 13?

Are you interesting of an meet-and-greet with me? :o) I´m looking forward to your comments. Don´t be shy!

Stay healthy and be thankful for every single (even small) gift!

Beachbody Challenge 2013 - Week 10

My own Beachbody Challenge has started on Feb 1, 2013.
In the following 20 weeks - until beginning of summer in Germany - I want to move up a gear and keep my eyes on low-carb clean eating in combination with 4-5 times training a week.

 

Here´s my summary of the half-time of my beachbody challenge - Week 10:

As every friday, I do the bootcamp class. We did some training with our own body weight and with elastic. At our final exercise we did a HIIT-training. After coming home I moved directly into my bathtub!!

Sunday, March 31
I planned to do a run outside, but unfortunately the weather was so muddy, so I decided to go into the gym.

As some of my readers know, I quitted my attendance of Monday´s Zumba Class. But instead of Zumba I did (with my bf) some weight and strength training for the upper body at the gym.

Tuesday, April 2

Wednesday, April 3
Another weight and strength training for the lower body plus cardio training at the treadmill for 45 minutes.

Thursday, April 4

As some of you know, besides full-time working and additional part-time distance learning we refurbish our house. Today we got our new kitchen furniture. And it looks AMAZING!!

I did the Training of the Labrada Lean Body Challenge (page 5 ff)

Monday, March 18:
I decided to quit the attendance of the weekly Zumba-Class (just) for a while, because I noticed, that the combination of weight training and cardio/running will give me more than "just" dancing to the beat.
So I did a training session on the treadmill - unfortunately inside due to the really cold weather here in Germany!

Tuesday, March 19
- Rest

Wednesday, March 20
Here in Germany today it is the beginning of spring - but only calendrical. The temperatures here are as cold as in winter... including snow!!
