Days 9 and 10

Last updated on July 30th, 2018 at 07:49 am

10 days. Ten days of almost making it on this mission. A mission to the Miss Milky Way body. I just thought the Miss Universe contest it too big for me. Plus all the other contestants there have surgery, don’t they? Not that I care, but I’m not a doctor and I can not perform a surgery on stage. So no thanks, I don’t wanna embarrass myself.

Seriously I’ve gotta get it together, because up until now the only habit I’ve made is the smoothie drinking in the morning. I’ve pretty much broke all the other rules like a high school rebel.“You can’t tell me what to do!” she said to herself and started making pancakes with ground oats. I must admit both things – a little crazy. In the past 4 years I’ve made so many different kinds of weird pancakes and desserts, which I mostly did not share with anybody but myself, cause even a bulemic street rat on a cleanse would find them weird and wouldn’t go around that mess. After those traumatic experiences I find oat pancakes absolutely normal, kinda boring now, but amaaaahzingly delicious. And yes.

You’ve guessed it – I had them for breakfast after my smoothie (orange, grape fruit, water and a banana) yesterday again.

Butterflies and pancakes in my stomach. I love them. But, all good things come to an end. These pancakes as well. And after I ate them all I was too full and I only ate 1 time afterwards. Which means I only had 4 portions yesterday (2 smoothies).

And I blame these delicious pancakes for this. It’s all your fault, youuuuu…oaty naughty sneaky pancakes!

So like I said I ate only one time afterwards. But I ate like there’s no tomorrow.

1. I made these lentils. Those were sooooooo good. Really good to me.2. I baked/fried some peppers.

3. I slightly (for like 30 seconds) cooked some broccoli.4. I made a dip. But not in the sea, there’s no sea here. It was an avocado dip. Quite amazing.

5. Mix it all up in a flat bread and eat like there’s no tomorrow.

I ate one of those breads and I felt so complete. And since I had leftovers, I was actually happy tomorrow never dies. I had this today as well. I had a completely vegan day today. But first thing’s first. My smoothie this morning – cabbage, apple, lemon, orange.

I was so surprised, I didn’t notice the cabbage inside at all. I am one of the people who really can not eat a lot of cabbage, broccoli or other cruciferous vegetables. And it’s really a shame, because they’re all unbelievably healthy. So I’ll try to have them more often from now on. Plus it’s winter, what else should I eat??? Tomatoes suck, cucumbers weigh 100 kg, rucola is molding…I don’t have much of a choice. So a smoothie with cabbage is a good idea – it was pretty tasty and meanwhile I really love my smoothies in the morning. I feel I have a lot more energy now than last year, when I was only drinking coffee. Coffee sucks. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of saying that.

But it would go pretty well with this cake. It’s basically made with almost the same ingredients like the pancakes yesterday, but look like a cake.

Are you thinking, the same as me? Well if you’re thinking it’s that creative and that I’m a genius with soon-to-be-Bar-Refaeli-body, then you’re thinking the same.

With this mixture wrapped up as a cake – I know I shouldn’t eat all of it at once. I had it 2 times (6 pieces, altogether!) throughout the day. Now I have a lot of pieces for tomorrow. And wasn’t full all the day.

So I had enough place not for one. Not for two. But three wraps with the delicious leftovers from yesterday.

Needless to say – I felt happy throughout the day. I was walking on sunshineee yeeeaah! It’s weird how food can influence my mood. Almost as much as the sun and cute pets.

Nothing left for tomorrow, but I’m thinking I’ll have something similar. Can’t wait. You know you have a fat beast inside of you when you say that about food.

Exercises: Yesterday and today – HIIT. I love these workouts, because you really feel like you’re working and you’re doing the most, that your body can do. I don’t like workouts where I feel that I’m wasting my time. I don’t feel motivated by them. Time is valuable. Use it wisely. While watching The Mindy Project for example. I’m kinda obsessed with that show now.

Sorry for the pics from yesterday, but no sun – no pictures.

11 Simple Ways To Relieve Stress And Feel Good Daily, No Matter How Crazy Busy You Are

Here are 11 simple ways to reduce stress naturally, these things will remind you, it’s ok to actually enjoy the ride, even if you’re not where you want to be yet.

Have you ever had one of those days when you get so insanely overwhelmed with todo’s, that you forget you are actually alive? Or who you actually are?

I don’t know how to describe it. But, I had quite a few days like that lately. It’s like my whole life consists of doing doing doing. So much that I forget about little things like feeling good, experiencing new things, exploring, going outside…or, you know – living.

It’s times like this in life when most of us ignore the simple, but important things in life.

Those basics.

The little things that might not be on your agenda today, but can make a whole lot of difference in every area of life.

Things like for example: Do you feel good today?

That’s a basic need.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting more from life, but to do’s simply never end. In fact, if you’re like me, you’d add more to dos to your list every single day. Or hour. They’re just never ending.

But deep down we know if we go through life just “pushing through” and doing doing doing until we achieve everything we want, there’s a pretty big chance we’ll end up burnt out and unhappy. Whether we achieve those dreams or not. Because it’s a long journey. It’s not even a marathon. A marathon is boring, life’s more like an expedition (excuses moi if you like marathons. Also pardon my French – I don’t speak it).

So let’s treat it as one. Live, learn and enjoy.

Even if you need to get your report done by tomorrow, remember that you’re allowed to feel good while you’re still working on it.

Whatever you’re going through right now, you can either go through it feeling stressed or feeling well. And this is completely your choice.

In case you choose you want to feel better, here is a collection of small things you can do daily to reduce stress naturally and to feel good, no matter what’s happening. These are easy, small things that take almost no time or big effort.

11 ways to reduce stress naturally every.single.day.

1. Smoothie

Sounds kinda annoying, but if you can’t eat healthy all the time because you’re busy, invest either some time in making your own smoothie or some money to buy one that’s actually healthy. Drinking even just one smoothie a day can make a difference in the way your body feels immediately. It’s like a huge shot of energy that goes straight to your brain. A smoothie with fruits and vegetables makes you happier, less stressed, smarter and more energetic even according to science. If you don’t have any ideas for a delicious smoothie recipe, start with this one, I’m sure you’ll love it.

2. Finish one little thing you’ve been putting off

This doesn’t have to be a work thing. It could be paying bills or cleaning your desk. This thing, no matter how small and insignificant it might seem, is hanging in there somewhere on your mind making you a little more stressed than you need to be. But since it doesn’t take much time or effort – start and finish it.

Cleaning your desk takes no more than 10 minutes. You’ll be surprised how relieved you can feel after you do this. The next day you do another thing you don’t feel like doing. And then you start feeling better and better. More importantly, you feel in control, which is a super important stress-reliever.
