Do fking cardio

Ran 8,6 kilometers last Saturday (pre-anaphylaxis) and haven't done proper cardio since. So tomorrow after my eyebrow waxing appointment I'm heading straight to the stadium with Vanessa for another run.

I mentioned this before, but there is nothing better you can give yourself than some cardio. I'm sad that it's "out of trend" to do cardio... If you care for your heart and overall health, you should find some time during the week for cardiac training. A little does a LOT... the repetitive pumping (running, swimming, etc. without pause) stimulates the heart-muscle to become stronger; it has to be able to provide oxygen-rich blood to the working body. Cardiac training is the strength training of your heart, by the same mechanism that you improve the strength of your muscles at the gym, or wherever...

The feeling of a stronger heart is truly remarkable. Try it :) You can check your resting pulse rate (how many times your heart beats in one minute during rest), then start your cardiac training and check your resting pulse again in three months. I promise that your heart rate will be lower... which proves that your heart is stronger and can pump the blood around your body with fewer beats. Mine right now is 53 beats per minute xxx

PS. Immediately stop your cardio-session if you feel pain in the chest or as if you are going to faint.

We honestly cute

What do you do when someone tells you a lie straight up in your face? I don't knooow. Don't remember when or why, but I realised very early that lies are never hidden forever and only cause you trouble. Countless times have I been thankful to myself for sticking to the truth.

I barely understand why people even find lying necessary, because 99/100 times it really is not. Yet a lot of people make these small lies allll the time, everyday. Why? WHO CARES if the truth is boring, unimportant, sad, embarrassing... who will take you seriously when they realise you were lying? Throw the truth. Apologize if you must and throw it!!! No need to be a douche, but skip the lie. If the matter is none of the other person's business, then that is also the truth.

I'm not saying that I never lie; I lied this summer for instance, because of a promise. Promises are created from honesty, too, and a good friend will keep a secret even if it is uneasy... of course there are exceptions...

In general though, lies are pretty useless. So when you do lie - because it is a human thing to do - my advice is that you stop your life for a second, grab your esophagus and take that thing you just said back. "Sorry, that wasn't true" and/or "I don't know why I said that". The sooner the better, take it back. Super easy and people appreciate it so much more. Wouldn't you appreciate it if someone who just lied to you took it back immediately? Trust me, this is the shiet.

Öööööö

Wasn't even sure if I was allergic to peanuts. I never ate any... only knew from allergy tests that I react to peanut antigen. Anyways I've always avoided peanuts, just in case, since it is a very strong allergen and is more common to cause anaphylaxis compared to other antigens.

So today we got wok from that new wokbox place here in Debrecen and it was quite nice. However my last bite happened to include a peanut. Yes my LAST bite. I realised it just after my swallowing of that bite... dissolved some cortisol tablets in water and felt better. But about 30 minutes later I started getting some kind of asthma... which developed into anaphylaxis in the taxi... luckily I got to the ER just in time.

Now about 4 hours later, I'm pretty fine... just came here to say; hello I'm fine, just had my first anaphylactic reaction but/and I can breathe again.

Good night, sincerely

Baking kanelbullar at this moment! You can find my master recipe here (link).

BUDHHAA

Still giggling when I think of our weekend in Budapest. It was epic. Of course it was raining the whole time but that hardly ruined anything. We shopped for make up instead of touristing about. On Saturday we met up with this medical student (from Budapest) that I know from Instagram. HAHA. Sounds stranger than it was. At first we had a super nice dinner at a greek restaurant, this followed by pre-party at his (instagram-guy's) house and out clubbing. Ate the world's most ridiculous ripoff burgers on the way home. Weeell.

Good student

Preparing a presentation at this moment... so stepped in here to say Hi. Tut tut tut, baaad blogger. We're having meetings with the research group every Friday now and I'm going to present the theory behind my upcoming project tomorrow.

By the way, looks like I'm going to be a teacher after all, haha. So you guys in 3rd year general medicine, heads up, I will be responsible for two groups during the laboratory practicals weeks 12 - 15. Looking forward to it!

Coming weekend = BUDAPEST with the girls. CAN'T WAIT.

Yes Eleni and I went swimming! Swam for just over an hour mmmhh sooo nice. Later realised that I had left my cap + swimming goggles by the pool but by the time that I went to get them (some 30 minutes later) the goggles had already been stolen. Although my cap was still there... Thanks a lot kid, hope your mama finds out!!!

5th year!!!

Heyyy! Back in Debrecen. Seems like each year only gets more and more interesting... first week of 5th year was really fun and inspiring. So that was that!

Celerbrated Eleni last night and woke up kind of okay. Not well enough for a handstand, but pretty good. Baking bread at this moment! Waiting for the loaf to rise a bit before I put it into the oven. Mmmm home baked bread. It's also a revolutionary day because Dennis is cooking for us! Yes indeed! He's making goulash soup, exciting much. Level of truth = 100%.

What really happened

What really happened in eight months - I got tanned, or "brownier" as Hungarians say. Haha but really, this is my ~ half-year progress.

The photo in January was taken right after the exam period (= stress...) so my body fat is lower, 56,5 kg's. I'm 58 kg's to the left, bit more than ususal.

Maybe someone thinks this progress is... so slow... nowhere near those "transformations" you see on Instagram... exactlyyy. This is how I want my progress to be. Slow, healthy and natural. I work out as much as I find time for, usually 4 - 6 times a week of whatever exercise I feel like, and take no protein or carbohydrate supplements whatsoever. No energy this-that-shiet. Maybe I'll change my mind some day!? But this is what I find sustainable :)))

#Nellyholic

Thank you Nelly.com for the opportunity. I saw on Instagram that we seemed to be about 100 girls that got contacted to promote their fall campaign and it was fun being part of it. We were given some money to shop for and I got this dress (link) that is sooo me haha.. you surely get why. Can't wait to wear it this fall.

LOVE IS US

We went fishing but didn't get shiet! Some crayfish in a bag though, bubbling and cursing on the train home. I have so much fun with you <3
