First, sorry for my long absence… I really have a guilty conscience!
On my facebook page I gave from time to time a small vital sign.
With these
words, I promise for post more regularly!!
Regarding a
very stressful time of my study (I do this via distance learning) my sport workload
came to a standstill. My daily routine was like a rat in a hamster wheel: After
coming home from the office late in the evening I learnt rd. about 3 hours
before going to bed. Almost every
weekend I have had a another course and test of different study modules. I hadn´t have a real worklife-balance!!
This resulted
in passing my first targeted cornerstone: the 10K Run on May 5. I didn´t feel fit and
ready for this challenge. Sorry!
Last
weekend – when I was in Munich for doing a test – my level of stress was so
high, that I decided for stopping learning and going to the gym.
And… that
felt soooo good! How I missed that… On
the next day I felt a little muscle sore and grin about feeling my body again!
Whereby my absence
of any exercise for rd. about 5 weeks I´m sorry to have to tell you, that I have to
abort this year´s Beachbody Challenge.
But that doesn´t mean, that I wouldn’t
do any kind of sport.
As some of
my reader already know, that I´ll be at the East coast of the States for 3 Weeks in October, I have set my next goal:
Being
in shape for Boston and New York!
That´s
exactly 20 weeks (rd. 140 days) from now and I´m looking for an intense exercise
plan with fast results. GET GOING!!!
In this timespace there is my next cornerstone involved: 10K on Sept 29th.
I decided
to do a mixture of Beachbody´s P90X and
Insanity program (I have both
DVD-Sets at home for years,…unused!!) and doing also some Freeletics, Running and Weight Training at the gym. Before entering the plane I´ll show you the traditional before-after pics!!!

The core of
Freeletics is a set of predefined
high-intensity workouts. All workouts are bodyweight only. You always do them
as fast as you can. They only take between 5 and 45min. Parks, sports fields, gyms and the like are well suited. However, you can
do most workouts at home as well. For some no equipment is required, for others
a pull-up bar, a wall or some sort of running track. Also, Freeletics can be
trained both alone and in a group. The high intensity leads to impressive results despite significantly
reduced workout times. Also, you only need your bodyweight. That means you can
work out efficiently anywhere and with little time. (here is the link to the facebook page: >click<)

But that´s
only one side of the coin of success. As you know, besides exercise the right
nutrition is also essential to have a successful body transformation.
Since
November 2012 I eat (either more or less) clean - sometimes with low-carb,
sometimes without.
I try to eat rd. about 5 meals and drink at least 2,5 liters (0,6-0,8 gallons). But unfortunately I didn´t drop any pound - it´s fluctuate between -1,5 kg (- 3 lbs) and +1,5 kg (+ 3 lbs)...no matter if I do sports or not. Therefore I´ll do more sport to kick my metabolism.
I´ll post
in the next day a typical daily meal plan (including some pics and recipes).
Stay tuned and healthy!!!
