Wow, I am on day 30 today, so one third
of the Challenge is over. I cannot actually remember what I did
before that. The challenge does not take up all day, merely 60
minutes per week till now, but it still somehow is deep in your head
all the time. Your nutrition, the planned workouts and last but not
least, the sore muscles remind you of the challenge you are on.
The facebook group has been a great
support and motivation for me. There are people who do the challenge
in all kinds of stages and levels, so you have a lot of experience in
one place, where you can ask questions and also post motivations. To
me it is always great to see how fit people can get within this time
if they eat according to the plan.
I still do not eat according to it.
From time to time cake still finds it way into my mouth. My protein
intake is much higher though than before the challenge. I eat cooked
eggs, fish and creamcheese or Greek joghurt with banana and
strawberries on a regular basis.

A few days ago we spent a lazy evening
watching documentaries on Netflix and stumbled upon the great „Sick,
fat and nearly dead“. A guy from Australia travels the US for 60
days and all he eats is juiced fruit and veggies. He loses a lot of
weight and feels exhilarated, telling everyone about juicing. I
watched it and felt like buying a juicer immediately and putting kale
into it. And you know what? We bought a blender and are making green
smoothies. My first one is sitting in front of me right now, Orange,
apple and spinach. It tasted really great. Looks a bit odd, though.
Or looks very healthy.

The challenge has reached a major step,
because from this week on, I will do four instead of three workouts.
Yesterday was officially the first „two-workouts-in-a-row-day“
and it sucked. No workout has been as annoying and hard as this week's Opus.
I sometimes even paused during the active phases, because I just
couldn't do it. Sweat was running down my face, my chest, my belly. I
had to shower immediately and wash my clothes the minute the workout
was over. (I hate sweat) But I was really happy that I have done it
even though I didn't feel like it all day.
If you look closely. You can even see a
bit of mucsles in my belly and arm, which is motivating me to eat
better and keep up the work.
