Trying, trying…

ABC Gym

After all the running this year my body was broken (maybe still is). Too much running? Or maybe not proper training program? Needed more rest that’s for sure. Anyway, since late Summer my fitness was slowly decreased till complete meltdown. I had to do something. I could feel that my body is needing nutritions but I wasn’t fuelling it with proper food. I was using shortcuts. Sweets to give me energy and junk food to fill my hunger. So, instead of helping I was making the case worse. My weight went up, body fat as well and strength down. I have decided that 8 weeks fitness program could be a good way to start recovery… Read more

Fall in love with Venice

Grand Canal

That was my third visit to Venice and must say that this time I was enjoying it quite a lot. First time when I was here was almost 15 years ago and from that of experience day I remember just an awful smell. Said to myself that Venice is not worth visiting again. But you never know what life will bring. Second visit in Italy and Venice was maybe 7 or 8 years ago. Short stay, just off email full day here. Decided to go to San Marco, left water bus at Rialto and walked there. Saw Piazza, got quick lunch and decided to walk back to car. But used streets not so popular with tourists. And has change my idea of Venice. Do not go where everybody goes. Use your imagination and allow yourself to be lost in Venice Right then you will start to feel that city,. That was second visit in Venice. And now we had in front of us prospect of another stay there. Wanted to surprise Bozena with that trip but as easy is to hide all preparations (organising B&B, flights, one day off from work with her boss) it is very hide to hide all that bill when they are appearing on the credit card. And Bozena is frequently checking our card spending for any unusual activities. So, there was no surprise for my Wife, she knew all before the trip. She told me that she was actually glad to know about that surprise cause she had could prepare proper clothes for herself and not counting on me being lucky with my choice. There was another thing as well added down the road. Bozena straight from Venice was flying to work conference, so needed to be prepared for that and probably surprise trip (idea was to pick her up from her office just 1.5 hours before the flight)… Read more

MUNKI for runners

Munki - top on

From hobby and passion to life style and work. Vegan Surfer is our friend for a long time now. We have seen him trying to find his place in the World. And we couldn’t be happier to find out that he is now happy and following his dream… He became vegan and moved to West of Ireland where he could catch the waves. He became expert in healthy vegan food. Usually any recipe he was posted to his Facebook page with picture of food. Something done for himself became viral. Now, after the success of his Facebook page Gary – Vegan Surfer – decided that he can prepare healthy food for his guest (yes, you can spent a nice surfing weekend in Bundoran with food served by Gary) and to create food which can fuel body for whole day of excercise… Read more

Easter food

As always during any holiday season food is a big problem with me.

As on the picture food looks great (couldn’t resist). Had to try everything. Probably ate too much again, but not too bad. Hadn’t got any sweets during last two days but had two glasses of white wine (big nono) and white, regular bread. Salads were good for me but on other hand had as well white borscht with sausage and egg. Ohhh and tai chicken soup too.
