Daily Wahnsinn

Hi, I'm Petra and this is my weight loss/fitness blog.

I used to be on Weight Watchers from January 2011 to October 2012, dropping approximately 45 lbs. I've made the transition from unhealthy and unhappy to athlete and this is my journey to becoming a healthier, happier me. I frequently post about my exercise (mostly running, yoga and lifting), the foods I eat, recipes I liked and my daily struggles. You'll also find the occasional tree hugger post, (travel) photography or anything else I find worth remembering and collecting.

I follow most blogs back that follow me. However, I do stay away from blogs that promote EDs, unhealthy methods of weight loss or negative body image.

Feel free to say hi any time!

30 Day Running Challenge! - Day 15

Day 15: Show us a picture of your sexy running calves!

Not sure about sexy, but definitely too large to fit into standard boots.

You also get a bonus picture of my knee and the latest bruise I have managed to acquire. Brought to you by tonight’s Street Kamp class:

Bishop, our Street Kamp trainer, had someone come by to write a review about his class today, so in order to get more people to join and make it a larger group than usual, he held the class for free. I had planned on going on Fridays, but I wanted to support him, so myself and the friend from work that I go with decided to go today - and we found some more people to drag along.

The class was fun and challenging. Despite me tripping over my feet/jump rope, falling onto the hard concrete and acquiring the above bloody knee. Go me.

Here’s what we did:

  • Warm-up/cardio: 1.7 mile run, jump roping. Including some hills. I seemed to be better at the jump roping while running today (if you ignore for a second that I tripped and fell). That’s improvement. That’s good. When we did the drills up the hill (again, jump roping), I somehow still couldn’t find a rhythm. Must work on my coordination!)
  • Strength training: Drills up the hill, including bear crawl (up & down), reverse bear crawl (up, jog down), rows with a partner giving you resistance (then switching), backward walk with arms locked straight - holy calves!! (then switching), another bear crawl up the hill
  • Cardio: 0.75 mile run
  • Strength training: sandpit - ugh. Bin Ladens across length of 2 volleyball fields (crawling on your stomach, arms locked behind your back), jog back, this weird ab exercise where you’re on your back, feet in the air, moving sideways by rolling up and down, jog back
  • Home stretch: bear crawl or crab crawl across Sheep’s Meadow in Central Park
  • Time: 1h 19, 731 calories burned - I finished super strong and felt great during the workout

I also went to yoga this morning (free class thanks to the studio giving it to me as a bday present - yay!) and I stayed within my daily points. Pretty successful day.
