5 tips to lose weight

Hey guys, I just wanted to do a little monday motivation blog post for you guys about losing weight. Keep in mind that I am not a professionnel, and these tips are my own tips for you guys.

1. Be realistic

What do you see when you look in the mirror? 

Usually we tend to see ourselves as ugly flappy creatures when trying to lose weight, when in reality right infront of you stands a beautiful soul. SKINNY IS NOT THE WAY TO GO, HEALTHY IS! If you didn't know it, being skinny as a stick can be just as dangerous as being obese. Keep in mind that you are beautiful no matter what size you are.

2. Dieting is a no go

If you decide to be healthy and lose a bit of weight, then yay that is good for you. 

When you start this health kick then don't buy into all these so call diets. Being healthy is a lifestyle that your body needs you to remain throughout your life... your body will thank you for it.

People often thinks that in order to lose weight you only have to exercise... WRONG. Food has a lot of saying in whether or not you lose the weight.

3. Exercise

Get up and get moving. Go for a run outside and enjoy your surroundings, if you can't run, then go for a power walk. Studies show that power walks does wonders for your body. Join a gym with a buddie, or do it alone if you prefer that (personally I like going alone - I enjoy my "me-time"). 

If you can't afford a gym membership, look videos up on youtube. A home gym is just as good for your body as a pro gym. you can even do cardio at home... I use dancing games and training games on the xbox for my little cardio fix on those days when I don't want to go outside. You all know does days when it is raining and home is just the place to be.

4. Change it up

If you have found the perfect fitness/cardio/running routine and you master it like a superstar, it might be time to switch it up with a new little exercise routine. If you do the same exercise over and over again, day after day, your body becomes used to that training session and not much will happen. Mix it up or add in some new moves to your routine. I usually switch up my youtube playlist workout every week.

5. Have fun

Lets face it, you are not gonna stick to exercising and eating healthy if it's becoming a chore. Find something that makes YOU happy, no matter if it makes you look silly or just totally weird. If people look at you funny it's their problem, not yours. They are probably just jealous that you are comfortable enough to have fun no matter what. I never thought I could do dance workouts infront of my bf, but I am having so much fun that I don't care... I just laugh it off. And now he is the one cheering me on.
Make food fun. Make dinner with a friend or your bf/gf... Not only is it fun, it can also be romantic and very healthy.
Healthy food doesn't have to taste bad, you can actually find some pretty good recipes online.

I hope this motivated you guys a little :)

Have a kick ass day, and take every day as it comes.

Healthy fall fruits and vegetables

As you guys know fall is here and it is so easy to snack on unhealthy things because bikini season is over and the weather (at least in denmark) is freaking bad and cold.
So I just wanted to let you know what is healthy this fall season.

1. Sweet Potato baked in skin = Ca 60 kcal
 (you can even make yummy sweet potato fries ;) )

2. Apples = Ca 52 kcal (pr 100 gr)

3. Broccoli = 34 kcal (pr 100 gr)

4. Pumpkin - incl seeds = 26 kcal (pr 100 gr)

  (Halloween is coming up so enjoy everything healthy with pumpkin) 

5. Avocado = 170 kcal (pr 100 gr)

    (I know it seems like a lot of kcal but it really isn't and avocado is so good for you.)

Nutrilett weight control

I have to admit that with this kind of weather we are having at the moment I find it very hard to go the gym. I read somewhere that the night between saturday and sunday was the coldest it have been in 27 years here in Denmark... OMG!

Anyways I know its a poor excuse but it really is like the wind is eating you up, so I found this product called nutrilett that is a low calorie diet (Btw this product was NOT giving to me for free - just so you wont judge me ;)), and I thought I might give it a try, oh and just so you guys know I do eat real food as well haha

I usually have a hard time with powder/loose weight soups and drinks cause I can't stand the taste of powder, but I have to say I was taken by surprise by this.

I do have to admit that this soup tastes a bit ehm you know healthy but its definitely is the best I've tried, and I will be repurchasing it. 

Put the mix in a small bowl (or in my case a huge cup)

Boil 3 dl water and pour it over the soup mix and whisk it together so it looks like soup lol

I finished it up by adding some garlic and paprika to it

The smell is actually really good as well

What kind of low cal products do you guys buy?

My goal

Weight has been and always will be a big issue for me... dont ask cause Im so fucked up in that department pardon my french, might tell you guys why some day.

Anyways I had a little melt down today and decided that instead of crying about my weight, Im gonna do something about it.

Im not gonna be a total strick one this month cause I can tell you right now that it is not possible with all the things going on this month.

But as always I will go to my gym, I use popilates/blogilates youtube videos and recipes and on top of that I just signed on to something called shapeupclub.com. It is free and there is even an app for the iphone, maybe even for android too. 

Shapeup is pretty cool cause you can register what you eat and your exercises, so Im gonna give it a little go and hopes it goes well.

So as I said Im not gonna go hardcore at it, plus the app told me my weight was normal so my goal is just to lose a few pounds and tone a bit up :)

Hope you guys had an amazing weekend, can't really believe its already over.

Gone fishing

Long time no see... I decided to give this blog a second chance, I kinda missed it don't tell anyone lol

So I've very recently started a little challenge for myself called the 30 day shred. I know there is a dvd out there that is called the same and to be honest it kinda gave me the inspiration for it... Its basically me eating healthy and working out everyday for the next 30 days... and hopefully more days to come.
As of today I am on day 4... (yes I told you i started recently lol), and Im going to the gym in a bit.

Anyways just thought I would check in and say hi.. and show you some pic from my fishing trip I was on two days ago

Hope everyone is good out there and stay strong and motivated
