may update
just a quick little update in bullet points:
• we are back from a 10 day family vacation in Turkey and it was really lovely! lot's of sunshine, tan lines, good food, beach and family time <3
• I had no problem keeping my goal to not eat any sugar while there - I didn't eat any ice cream or other delicious dessert *pat on the back for me!
• I also managed to do sports in the hotel gym. I did miss my weighted vest, but did some incline walking on the treadmill instead. and I started Cheryl Coulombe's weight lifting challenge.
• when we got back, I could directly dive into the most busy week of the year at work: Mothers day! I had to recover from that quite a bit :')
• now that we are home again and I'm back into my usual training, I can feel that I'm getting stronger again. the progress is going up and down. some weeks I feel like om not progressing, other weeks I can definitely feel that I'm getting stronger!
• I'm also at a point now where I have to start training differently. I can't get into (fat burning) zone 2 anymore with my usual hikes and have to incorporate hiking hills now to get my heart rate up. this means my body is adapting to my training and it's working what I'm doing. that makes me happy!
• just 5 more weeks till my new tattoo! I'm soooo curious to see the design!
• my hay fever is annoying me this year quite a bit! even though May weather hasn't been that good (more rain and lower temperatures than usually).
• I have something new on my fitness wish list: I want to get a rucking backpack with ruck plates, so that I can add more weights to my walk. I currently walk with 5kg for the speedy hikes and am at 8kg for the building strength hikes (and can still go to 10kg). with a backpack I can start with 15kg and go up easier. slow and steady wins the race.
• I ordered Kayla's book ruck it. as soon as it arrives I will start reading. can't wait!
