Favourite foods on my diet

As I am trying to be as healthy as I can, I thought I would post a few pictures of my favourite meals and foods I enjoy the most.

I wake up before 7am every day (except weekends of course) and already at 7.20am, I am out from the door and rushing to work. As I am a very lazy person in the morning, I just don't have time for making something big (omelette, porridge, salads, etc). I usually just grab a banana or if I have time I make a quick fruit salad. Sometimes I prepare food a day beforehand, so it is quick and easy to have it in the morning. This picture illustrates my first meal of the day. I love the colours and I think it really brightens up the day!

My lunch at work is something very basic - usually just fresh salad/vegetables with rice or corn pasta and some meat.

Or stuffed tomatoes. My favourites! I use minced lamb.

And I drink lots of water.

In the evenings I love having some wraps with chicken (or lamb) and I love adding a little bit of soured cream/Greek yogurt and grated cheese (usually Mozzarella).

Another new favourite is quinoa (eesti keeles: Kinoa ehk Tšiili hanemalts), which is high in protein and contains all of the eight essential amino acids. Quinoa can be used in the same way as rice and is great in stuffings, pilafs, salads (quinoa tabbouleh) and breakfast cereals. My dinner is with pork, Chinese cabbage and Feta cheese.

For snacking my favourites are (at the moment) hot spicy nuts (in the picture: cashews).

Of course I am not perfect and I am sometimes cheating but I try to stay as healthy as possible.

Morrison's fresh bakery is amazing and I absolutely love their fruit tart. It looks so yummy!

In my (healthy) diet I miss biscuits the most. Even candies can't replace this amazing crunchy biscuit feeling. At the moment I am loving these Australian dark chocolate biscuits.

Sometimes I bake. I love poppyseeds and I love cupcakes. Here I added 1 lemon (grated skin + juice) and skipped the icing.

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...

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...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair. Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
