PS, we managed to “break” the lamp before taking my pictures :P So a slightly different light setting for me this time.. (even though one of my room mates just plugged it in when she wanted to use it, really couldn’t understand that was the problem at the moment) Helloo, early Friday morning, and the brain didn’t function well..

Some comments about the last weeks:

It has been somewhat hard to train and combine everything with school the last two weeks; we had a bachelor presentation and task to deliver last week, and exams Monday and Tuesday this week.

But that’s no excuse not eating well and train, all you have to do is to prioritize and set a schedule for your day!

Signals from your body:

That doesn’t mean you can ignore the signals from your body, all load (school, friends, family, training…) affects your body(stress), and it’s important to get enough restitution.

If you feel you have little energy during your workout, don’t get to sleep at night, feel your appetite is increasing significantly, you have muscle soreness longer than you are usually used to (doing the same workout as before)++ – you should probably take a day of! Or adjust your training to a lower intensity for a while (shorter duration, fewer sets, repetitions or less weight added during strength training are among things to adjust).

In my opinion it’s better to take a day of (go for a walk instead), so you can have the intensity wanted next time hitting the gym! ;)

If you stress your body too much, you will only obtain the opposite of what you want!

So:

-       - Get enough sleep

-       - Get rest during the day (a powernap if you feel like it)

-       - Eat enough food (and then I mean food that is good for your body!)

-       - Drink water!

-       - And smile!! :) (It takes a lot of energy being angry or worry too much)

Have a nice weekend!!
On Sunday Emil and I will do the physical tests to see if we could be officers in the Norwegian army!

Wish us good luck!! ;)
