Favourite meals

I haven't been to gym for a while now and kind of strayed from being healthy and eating properly. Also a couple of weeks ago I had a tooth ache, which killed my motivation for running on the treadmill. I am now trying to get back to my healthy lifestyle and I will describe my eating habits and how I plan to get back to my diet.

I'll start with my Cottage cheese and radish salad. It is my own recipe I made up by following my diet. It basically contains cottage cheese, radish, green onion, boiled egg and greek yogurt/natural yogurt. It is super healthy and sometimes I also add crab sticks, which makes this salad even more tasty.

I usually eat this salad in the mornings, as it is full of fats and gives me a lot of energy. It also keeps me full so I don't get hungry so quickly. I noticed that having fruit salads in the morning does not keep me going as long as eating foods high in protein. 
 
 


I also love salmon and rye bread with tea. Rye bread is so much more healthy than white bread of course.


 

Another favourite. It is lamb kebabs with rice. Very easy to make and a good healthy portion.


 



This is one of my favourite meals ever and is always cooked by Tristan. He is doing the best steak ever and I totally enjoy these evenings when he is cooking for me. It is steak on bread with curly chips and bacon sauce. Yes, it is not super healthy but I think it is fine to have this kind of meal once in every one or two months! I think that the key to being more disciplined about your diet is to allow yourself a little treatment sometimes. I have been breaking my rules so many times and for me this works better when I know that I have something to look forward to after my hard work.


  
Chicken schnitzel with tomato sauce and rice. Immediately this makes you think - how can schnitzel be healthy? The meat is coated with flower, egg and bread crumbs and then fried - but I have a simple answer! Chicken or turkey are the best to choose out of all meat because they are low in fat but high in protein (and also low in calories). I do not fry my schnitzel but instead cook it in the oven without any oils. Perfect!


Fruits and ice cream! Sounds amazing right!? I use this vegan ice cream on top of my fruits just for a little extra and the word ice cream makes it a bit more naughty, even though it is much more healthy. It basically contains only water, agave syrup, cashew nuts and cocoa powder - alternative version for dairy ice cream. It does taste very cocoa powdery but I kind of like this raw and different taste.


 

Grapefruit, pear and vanilla yogurt. I love the strong taste of grapefruit but I like adding a bit of pear and other soft fruits for a bit more variety.


 

This is chocolate cheesecake Tristan and I made. We love baking and especially making desserts. This recipe is taken from this website but we changed some of it. We also topped it with whipped cream.


So this was a little post about my favourite meals. If you are interested specifically about any of the foods and how I prepare them, leave me a comment below and I will make a post about it.

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...
