Health and Fitness – Trying my hardest to stay healthy in Spain
28 December 2016The other day I did manage to find a restaurant called Sanissimo, which means “really healthy”. It was €12 for a salad, starter, main, pudding and drink, which is amazing! Plus, the food was really tasty and super filling. It was such a shame that I found this place so close to the end of my placement!
My lack of free time also means that I can very rarely do any real exercise. I came to Spain with the intention of signing up to a gym (that’ll have to wait until I get to Portugal…) and leading a very healthy lifestyle in general. This obviously didn’t happen.
If I get a morning off work I do sometimes go for a run in a park near to my house. I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve done this, but I did go twice last week, which is good effort for someone as unmotivated as me. I feel great about myself when I get home, especially when I see my flatmates in their pjs wearing yesterday’s makeup. The park is really lovely as well, even if it is alongside the M-30 (Madrid’s first ring road), which means that it’s really loud and the air is pretty unclean. Despite this, it’s referred to as one of Madrid’s “lungs”.
Parque de la Quinta de la Fuente del Berro – My favourite running spot
Writing this has made me realise how badly I’ve done, health wise, in Madrid. Maybe in Portugal I’ll be able to do better. New year, new me and all that! But now it’s time to head home for Christmas, and we all know how much food gets eaten at this time of year…
Adiós,
Molly

Hi Molly,
Welcome to LingoMap!
Wow, you are putting in the hours! The roast looks tasty (plenty of green veg there)!
Best of luck in Portugal. I look forward to reading your next blog.
Bonjour Molly,
Great blog, well done. I have just had a newsletter from Routes about this. Will def be showing my pupils who I am sure will have lots of questions!
Merci
