Favourite foods

August has been my healthiest month so far. I've put together some pictures below of my favourite meals and what I like to eat.
MORNING

 I am not a morning person and making breakfast is my least favourite thing to do. I can survive the day without eating in the morning but for the last couple of weeks I have changed my eating habits and have been having breakfast every day. I am feeling a lot more active and less sleepy during the day. The thing I noticed the most is that I don't feel the need to go to the vending machine at work during the day. Before lunch I constantly went to buy a packet of crisps or chocolate but now I am much more confident in avoiding the temptation.

 On weekdays I usually have granola with some fruit and vanilla yogurt. It is so filling and gives me a nice sugar boost for the day.
 

 

Whenever I am bored of granola and want something different, I boil duck eggs and have them with my favourite bread (at the moment) - date and walnut bread from Morrisons. Morrisons have a great selection of bread in their bakery section. It is also a good alternative for rye bread.
LUNCH

I remember about a year and half ago my diet was very unhealthy. I had a large container of pasta with cheese and sausages or sandwiches (white bread, ham, cheese). It does not sound so unhealthy at first but my quantities were large and I can imagine how many bad fats/carbohydrates my one meal contained. Now for lunch I usually have leftovers from the previous day's dinner or I make something especially for work.

 I love making potato pancakes and potato muffins. I've already posted this month about them here.



On top of potato pancakes I like to make a sundried tomato and black olive mix. I first tried Sundried Tomato Tapenade at Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Manchester. It was so good that I just had to make my own recipe excluding the anchovies. Not that I don't like anchovies, but I think this spread is already tasty enough without them.

 
 


DINNER

Here are a few dinners Tristan has made me. I love his cooking and as I am quite strict with my diet, it is nice to treat myself sometimes.

Crumbed Turkey Burger is my favourite. It is quite an easy recipe but takes a while to prepare. It is served with bread, cheese, salad and barbeque sauce. 


 This is a Chinese inspired meal - salt and pepper chips with chilli beef and vegetables. 




 
SNACK


I love fruits - apples, strawberries, grapes, bananas... anything really.


 And if I have a craving for sugar I go for Halva. It is very sweet which is why I don't have it too often.

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...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
