Final Day : Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Posted 3 May  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:

3 days to go: Dukascopy Marathon

fr33m4n Posted 1 May  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 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 10: Weekend Marathon

LIFESTYLE
Today was a really hot day, so I spent most of the day indoors. There was a lot of temptation to visit several social media sites, rather than give in I decided to start reading a new book. The title of the book is "50 shades darker" by El James; this way I got to read and develop my vocabulary.I am going to visit the barber tomorrow, touch up on my punk hair-do. I have stuck to my appearance change, going with onlycorporate outfits for work. People now look at me differently, i…

Day 9: Weekend Marathon

SPORT
Today's work-out happened outdoors. Daylight came in a bit early, so I decided to do a mountain climb and used the venue for my work-out routine. Anyone thinking about this should wear comfortable shoes and go with a floor mat. Mountain tops are not as comfortable as you would think.
But the air is fresh, and the view is relatively impressive. I did my cross-fit routine and the sit-ups.
For the 10,000 steps challenge, I did an eight kilometer run/ fast walk. Like I have mentioned ea…

Day 7: Dukascopy Marathon

No pain, no gain! This is a common saying among trainers and work-out instructors. The general idea is to endure and put in effort for what one truly wants. This saying is true because it takes a lot of effort to achieve the type of physique mos of us want. Staying fit requires exercise, it may not be so much exercise but the quality and consistency is what matters. This is what I remember everyday I take a run to meet the 10,000 steps required.
The first few days are usually very hard, th…
