Did I mention I’m on a new quarantine diet? Briefly, I was a highly active person before the pandemic, thus, I could eat a fair amount of calories and still be in a calorie deficit. Right now, I consider myself privileged to still be allowed one hour of fresh air by the Ocean. And while we all do beautiful instagrammable home workouts, nothing closes the gap between calories eaten and calories…

I’m one of those people with a yearly bucket list. In my case, it is never aimed at fulfilling each and every element on that. But it’s sort of a roadmap of where I want to be one year from now. It keeps me motivated, it serves as a reminder and as a mean to maintain discipline and determination towards those goals.

It’s hard to stay highly motivated, highly efficient, highly everything when…

How many days have we been in quarantine? Honestly, I have no idea. I think its about a month in Italy, and here we started with social distancing from mid-March and I chose to voluntarily self-isolate from the very beginning. It’s not easy, and we all rather be in the beautiful Carcavelos Beach skipping classes for Sangria al La Capricciosa, but life is life, and we’ll get through this, one way…

My PC has been open on this exact page for over 1 week. I’ve written and re-written this post a thousand time. I wanted to say something. To free my mind from some long-lost thoughts on this whole situation. This terrible situation. But the truth is that I don’t know what to say.

I would like to write down some positive aspects. But it’s too easy for me to say this, when I am in a privileged…

Betting on Zero & Nutrition Things

A couple of nights ago I watched the documentary about Herbalife, Betting on Zero. While my personal opinion on Herbalife was quite defined, I was intrigued as a few friends of mine are somehow involved with the company, either as distributors or consumers of their products.

Let me tell you: the documentary is a must-watch. Of course we all have already heard about the pyramid scheme of the…

2020: Health & Fitness

I know, I have been MIA for weeks, but I felt overwhelmed with everything else and I was not able to write a single word on here, despite trying daily. But hey, I’m back, right? And how about we talk about health and fitness?

Lately I noticed everyone with an online following is talking about ways to detox, reset their health, crushing their goals or whatever. While this all seems fast-paced…

Once a Ski Racer…

Last week my coach put me through one brutal leg day, on the very day I forgot my bike chain in the morning and had to cycle back home and then again to university for a total of 11.5km. On the very day I knew my legs were sore even before stepping into the gym. I knew it was going to be brutal, but while I was stretching before squatting, I seriously feared the session. There is was no way I…

It doesn’t fit (anymore)

For as long as I can remember, in my adult life I have been shopping mostly (if not always) at Zara. I love it. I find it cheap, cost-effective, durable even. I’ve found a lot of things that respect my taste, that I loved wearing, that made me feel good in my own skin. Recently my favorite pair of pants started to fit a little too loose for my own taste. So I drove all the way to the closest zara…

Traveling: Alone VS Couple

In the last few years, I have become quite adroit at traveling alone. Don’t get me wrong, I traveled Europe with my best friend over some long weekends. I still exploited my dad’s contacts to end up in 5 stars hotels when traveling with the fam. But mostly I traveled alone. It was me, my 50L backpack and a luggage (if I was away for longer than 2 weeks). But that was it. I had to book one ticket.…

È passato un mese da quando il Coach ha iniziato ad allenarmi. Un mese lungo sotto certi aspetti e breve sotto altri.

(more…)

Vorrei scrivervi che la terza settimana è stata un successo, che io ero motivata come nelle prime due. Ma mentirei. Da parte mia (perché su questo voglio essere chiara, il coach è stato impeccabile come sempre), è stato un totale disastro. E potrei stare qui a raccontarvi tutto per filo e per segno, ma onestamente penso (e spero!) abbiate cose migliori da fare. Quindi, mi limiterò a raccontarvi i…

Honest Talk: a Woman in front of the Mirror

Have you ever felt disgusted at yourself?Yes, I said it out loud, with no nicer terms. Yes, I used a word that should never ever be used to describe any body, let alone our own. But still, I was looking at myself in some pictures and one of the parts of my body that lately I felt more proud and happy about, looked awful in any pic. My legs looked huge instead of fit. And I knew I could use any…

Ed eccoci alla seconda puntata… Sì, a questo giro causa università siamo un pochino in ritardo, ma non vi preoccupate, l’ironia e il cinismo di questo post compenseranno il ritardo. Buona lettura!

Monday — LEGS

Io ammetto di odiare il volume training. Lo ammetto ma nonostante tutto il coach non demorde e lo ripropone, ignorando ogni mio capriccio di “non ce la faccio”. La cosa che sia…

Ed eccoci… è trascorsa una settimana. Una settimana di cambiamenti e di inizi, una settimana piena, pesante ma anche bellissima. Pronti a sapere com’è andata?

Il Coach: Quando ho pianificato gli allenamenti per questa strong woman, avevo e ho in mente che essi siano finalizzati a un aumento delle performance fisiche.Voglio che lei diventi più forte più performante, troppe persone basano gli…

Buongiorno e buon lunedì? Che avete in programma questa settimana? Io tantissime cose, ma ve ne parlerò strada facendo… Posso intanto anticiparvi che mercoledì uscirà il primo vero post di #CoachingCami, o meglio, il resoconto della scorsa settimana.

Oggi, invece vi parlerò di altro… vi parlerò della piccola coccola quotidiana che mi dedico e mi fa sempre stare bene. Io lo chiamo Immune Health…

#CoachingCami: Nutrition & IF

Dunque, questo post è un fuori programma, dovuto ai messaggi di instagram che ci chiedevano più informazioni su intermittent fasting e sui macros.Premessa: io non ho le competenze per parlarne in maniera esauriente, ma proverò a dirvi quello che sto facendo io.

Da novembre ho iniziato a fare intermittent fasting. Ci sono diversi modi di farlo, io ho scelto il 16:8, ovvero digiuno per 16 ore e…

Il mio ragazzo, di seguito indicato come il coach,  ed io abbiamo deciso di fare questa nuova rubrica. Da qualche settimana ormai, lui ha iniziato ad allenarmi con regolarità e da quando mi sono iscritta in una nuova palestra a Trent, si sta occupando lui di tutta la programmazione. Lui voleva dare a questa rubrica un titolo di significato, tipo “Donne e pesi (pesanti)”, io il solito tocco…
