Monday motivation: My monday workout

Hey Lovelies...

Why not start the week of by getting a great workout in and feeling super great about yourself.
I was out with the family yesterday, and we had so much fun walking around the city and on the habor, that we walked for miles (it sure feels like a lot of miles/km), so a monday leg workout was not really on my mind. Instead I focused on everything... I guess. I just felt like doing whatever I found fun today.

Do this Hot tottie pilates body 3x

Strap workout 3x. I really LOVE this workout, it is one of my go to workouts when I don't know what to do.

Beach bum workout 1x BURN!

Itty bitty bikini 1x

She sells seashells by the seashore 3x. Such a great workout

I hope you guys will enjoy todays workout. I might talk my bf into a walk around the lake after dinner.

Stay motivated

Monday motivation - Celeb edition

You probably think you are the only one struggling with weight and how you should look and so on... WORNG! Everyone in this cool little world has thoughts like that, even celebrities.
Something that is motivating for me is seeing someone I look up too, fighting and doing something about it whatever it is (In this case it is health/fit), and that really inspires me to keep going.

So I thought why not have a Motivation Monday - Celeb Edition

Ashley Tisdale

Jennifer Aniston

Gwen Stefani

Holly Madison

Miranda Kerr 

Britney Spears

Kate Hudson

Jessica Biel

I hope you guys are having a great week :D

Remember to smile

Monday motivation - Summer fit (MY WORKOUT)

As some of you know, I have made small steps into a healthier lifestyle, after falling off the wagon for some months. Some might say that the cure to depression is working out. That might be true, but the first steps are so hard to take and easily it is becoming a habit of saying "Oh I will do that later", or "Oh I'll do it tomorrow"... and then so on, and so on. I did fell into that hole, and I would just hide away in my bed, feeling sad and lonely. Then I made a post not so long ago about wanting to start again, and I am. I mostly work out at home or go for a run/power walk instead of going to the gym.

Today it was actually freezing outside, so I worked out on my Kinect (for XBOX) - I usually do your shape 2012 or Dance central 3. Today I did Dance central 3. I have my own little (BIG) fitness playlist that leaves me tired as hell.

After that I did a couple of tone it up videos, took a shower and now I am seriously ready to sleep.

I wanted to share with you the videos I did today

I did this Love your Booty video 3 times

Then I did this love your arms 3 times

Then It was time for this workout. Only 1 time (I started getting tired lol)

And then I finished it all of with this TLC workout 3 times

I am far from where I want to be with my weight, but at least I am at it again, and I will kick ass. When I return home from Paris I will start to make leg days, core days, arm days and so on.

If you guys want to see more of this, leave a comment below :)

Hugs to you all

Movie monday - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

From rotten tomatoes

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths ofguile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ...a simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. -- (C) Warner Bros

My opinion:

I was so excited to see this movie and I sat in a queue for over an over to buy these tickets to see the movie. However I felt sad when I left the movies that I had spent so much time and money on this and it wasn't even worth it. 

I have read the hobbit and it did not live up to my expectations at all (almost no movie is better than the actual book - I know). When I first saw lord of the rings (all 3) I was so captivated by the magic of the film when you saw it, this time there was none. I felt like Peter Jackson focused too much on the 3D effect that he forgot to make the hobbit just as magical as the other movies. 

But on the plus side I do have to say that the 3D effect was PERFECT! Never have I have seen that good a 3D effect in a movie. It was like you were there.

My boyfriend has never read the book and I asked him what he felt about the movie, and he told me that he actually was very entertained, but like me the magic just wasn't there.

I do recommend this movie, just don't expect the wow feeling.

Have you guys seen the movie? and what did you think?

Movie Monday: Breaking Dawn part 2 (review)

Synopsis from Itunes

The astonishing conclusion to the series, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, PART 2, illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

My opinion

I definitely thought that this was the best of all the twilight movies...even the first.

But to be honest (and I know some people are going to get angry - sorry), I do not think any of the twilight movies including the new one is oscar worthy. It is simply not good enough.

Breaking down part 2 is a great romantic chick movie that you can enjoy by yourself, with your friends or even your boyfriend. I was pleasantly surprised about some of the fight scenes and on multiple times I felt like going Oh snap lol, so if you guys like the twilight saga don't hesitate... go watch it NOW

Did you guys see this movie? and what did you think?

If you haven't seen the movie are you interested in seeing it?

Have a great weekend guys

My monday surprise

Hi all you lovely bloggerbugs.

Feels like forever since I've blogged sorry about that.

I have this ongoing family drama thing that I feel like is draining me for energy, so its not like I've forgotten any of you lovely people out there.

I was actually thinking of trying to make april a blog of the day month just like I did february (I might miss one day in april though cause Im going out of town)

Anyways yesterday (monday) I kinda had the monday blues a bit... Work is going really slow at the moment (thanks to the economy) and on top of that it was a monday = sucky day

Then my bf textet me and it said... when you get home do nothing but relax, and I will work my magic in the kitchen... all I could think was awww im so lucky

When he finally got of work he went straight to the store to buy some food.

When he got home he said close your eyes I have a surprise for you - The surprise were some easter flowers as I call them. If you guys know what they are called please let me know.

He then started making dinner (I wasn't allowed to help) and it smelled goooood. I love when I dont have to cook lol.

He made some huge homemade burgers with homemade fries. (Kinda healthy version - I have a previous post on the burgers here)

And trust me when I say they tasted good :)

Oh and he bought some delicious organic easter beer. I decided the bottle was to big for me so I made him share it with me lol

I hope you guys are having a great week so far

Xoxo Mie
