Final Day : Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Posted 3 Mag  in #Health #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Healthyliving #10Ksteps
It is the end of the Dukascopy marathon contest for me, but it is not the end of the lifestyle changes I have been practicing. It has been a very enlightening experience and a big challenge to myself. I have learnt to appreciate the benefits of healthy living and sticking to a work-out routine.
I actually feel very proud of myself, yeah I did!
I will be going to bed with a big smile. 21 days of strict adherence to some very serious life style changes.
Today’s achievements:

Day 20: Dukascopy Mararthon

fr33m4n Posted 2 Mag  in #Health #Sports #DukascopyMarathon #Noalcohol #Nofastfood #Adequatewater #10Ksteps
Today went by very quickly.
First, I had to be at work quite early for a meeting and presentation; so, I had to get out of bed earlier than usual. I was able to put in my early morning run and completed the 10,000 steps obligation.
The run left me feeling very awake; I am guessing this is what they call a runner’s high; that rush of blood and Adrenalin that comes from bodily exertion.
Then my cross-fit routine and 75 sit-ups.
Somehow, I was able to do all this within two hours, most of this ti…

3 days to go: Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Posted 1 Mag  in #Health #Sports #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Noalcohol #Nofastfood
Three days more to go and the Dukascopy Marathon will be over for me; In this time, I will have met my 21-day obligation. It has been a wonderful and enlightening process. From dietary restrictions to scheduled work-outs and multi-kilometer runs; I would be lying if I said it was not challenging.
But just goes to show how much a person can achieve when you set your heart to a task. I got my 10,000 steps in with an early morning run. Did a couple of stretches before I left the house, just to get …

Day 18: Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Posted 30 Apr  in #Health #Sports #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Noalcohol #Healthyliving #Nofastfood #Cross Fit
The Dukascopy marathon is rounding up for me, I have four more days to meet my 21 days obligations. Time went by so quickly, I thought it would feel much longer. The fact that I could adhere to a cross-fit routine, to do a 10,000 steps achievement daily, the 75 sit-ups, diet-change and other lifestyle changes has been a big revelation for me. It goes to show that we can achieve whatever we set our minds to, given the right motivation and incentive. In this case, cash rewards can be very helpful.…

Day 17: Final week

fr33m4n Updated 29 Apr  in #Health #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Noalcohol #Nofastfood
It has been a very quiet restful day. Thankfully, there is no work, so it is a very free day. First, I did my morning run to take care of the 10,000 steps. Got back home, did my work-out which consisted of my cross-fit routine and 75 sit-ups (a set of 25). After that, I took a shower and had a big breakfast; a plate of boiled yam and fresh tomato stew. Washed down the meal with two cups of tea and then I read a book. I can't remember exactly when I dozed off, maybe an hour or two later.
But it w…

Day 16: Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Posted 28 Apr  in #Health #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Noalcohol #Crossfitroutine #Nofastfoods
Today was day 16 in the Dukascopy marathon, and it has been a very healthy 16 days. I am getting very well, as in good healthy food. Taking in a lot of water and seriously keeping fit.
I can not remember the last time I did this much work-out within such a short period. Approximately 8Km runs everyday is no joke, then all the sit-ups and cross-fit routine. The good thing is that after a while, your body gets used to it and it does not ache so much, but still it pushes the body and tests your wil…

Day 15 : Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Updated 27 Apr  in #Health #Sport #Lifestyle #Determination #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Noalcohol #Healthyliving #Nofastfood
My obligations for the contest have started running on auto; my schedule is gradually becoming routine. I am up at about 5am, and start running somewhere around 6am. After the run, I do my cross-fit routine and set of sit-ups. All these usually go smoothly, except for those mornings when my body just refuses to get out of bed.
At those times, it is sheer will and determination that gets me through.
Breakfast is now either toast bread and tea, or some fresh orange juice, several cups of it. I get…

Day 13 : Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Updated 25 Apr  in #Health #Sports #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Noalcohol #Adequatewater
Today was a good day, an awesome day actually. We just rounded up a project in the office which has been on for some weeks, and it was a big relief to finally conclude on it. There was a mention of going out to get some drinks and barbecue, but I had to tactfully decline. Alcohol is still off the menu, at least for another ten days or so.
I am considering incorporating some of the marathon changes even after the contest, living healthy has some very good long term
dividends.
On the sports scene,…

Day 12: Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Posted 24 Apr  in #Health #Sport #DukascopyMarathon #100Steps #Healthyliving
SPORT
The day started out pretty well for me. I was really early and was able to do my 10,000 steps in another run.

The run was followed by my cross fit routine and the three sets of 25 sit-ups required. It was a rather hot day, the average temperature was 36 degrees and I found myself taking in a lot of water.
As usual, I watched my pace, I didn't run the whole 10,000 steps. Fast walks when I got tired, and periodic runs until I completed the target distance.
