Week 4 is over and that means we've been at it for a full month. A month, that somehow sounds much longer than four weeks. Let me start with a confession, for someone who has been working out quite intensively for a month and hardly eats things like bread and pasta anymore, I see disappointingly little result. This week was the first time I thought, hmmm I think I can see a little less there on the hips, but I'm not really satisfied yet. Maybe I should step it up a bit and for example, just like Jet, start running in addition to the workouts. She ran 4.5 kilometers and found it quite easy. ‘I had a good playlist, that helps. On the song Rather Be I really go like a rocket.” Jet, can I join you sometime? And please don’t laugh at me when I’m hyperventilating at the foot of a tree after 500 meters? Further the week in points.

– Besides running, Jet discovered something nice this week. Recently, she has been going to the juice bar Dr. Blend in the Jordaan and she’s been going there a lot. All super healthy and you definitely won’t gain a gram. Also a favorite, Fennel. Salad salad salad.

Sports fanatic and personal health guru Esmée posted a photo on Instagram this week of a bowl full of healthy stuff, and I wanted to try that too. Take a bowl of tuna (in water), a bowl of cottage cheese, and a sweet apple. Mix everything together in a bowl and voilà, you’re done. The only downside, it’s not really tasty. “Cat food,” Esmée said, “but it’s the only truly healthy lunch I can tolerate.” Cat food indeed, because my bowl that I pushed aside was soon enthusiastically emptied by cat Disco.

– This week, Easter eggs arrived at the office and Jet couldn’t resist. I was safely at home, far away from the Easter eggs, but otherwise I would have definitely caved.

– It’s high time I buy a new sports pants. To be honest, it’s quite ridiculous that I haven’t bought a huge closet full of sports clothes yet, but the fact is that I have one pair of sports pants and I have to wash it quickly in between, which is quite a hassle. So next week I get to go shopping. Sports clothes shopping, mind you, but still, it’s shopping.

– All in all, we still have to work hard. I notice that I spend large parts of the day not really focused on Destination Killerbody. Jet and I still send each other daily pictures of dream bodies (Jennifer Lawrence is now our ideal) but if I’m not paying attention for a moment, I just grab a candy from a bowl that’s a bit too close to me. So I need to be stricter with myself. No more cookies with tea, no English Licorice, no Easter eggs.

– Maybe I should also cut down on alcohol.

– Haha no of course not!

– On to next week.
