Friday aaah yeeaa! :D

Goood morning dear blogette :)
Let me first say how amazingally, fantastically, superbically happy I am that it's Friday. Not ONLY is it Friday but after today I am off for a whole off 9 - NINE days yes. And im so looking forward to just.. NOT working :)

My day has started nice, I didnt have anything to eat at home this morning so by the time my first morning break came I was famished. More or less. But Marks & Spencer is right nearby so I Indulged in a healthy filling super brekkie..!

Porridge, Banana, Strawberries and Blueberries.. YUM YUM!

I am now starting to feel normal again.

This week has been good eating wise. 9/10 I'd say. Training wise very well, been to the gym 5 times this week (including today) and kept it consistent.
Need to keep this up, having a great momentum now.
Going to Sweden next week and I will be having a superbusy weekend but hopefully I'll fit in a run here & there aswell as some home exercises :)

I have to say I was impressed by myself wed & thursday. I really didnt want to go gym and there was a little voice in my head saying I should just rest and that it wouldn't do any harm. But I fought against it and I feel so much better for beating it and going.
Sometimes those days just creep up on you.

All in all, good week. In fact great week despite momentarily short flashes of tiredness.

SO looking forward to this weekend. Proper girly weekend...
Got SATC2 , barbeque, partying aah so many nice things. Last but not least Sweden on Wednesday!!! I know I'm repeating myself but hey I LOVE MY CITY!!! :D :D

Tonight Im doing a spin and then some abs. Then I am DONE for the week.

Once I come back from Sweden I'm gonna have to start preparing for my half marathon in September...  SO READY!!!
I wish the scenery I was running in was like that.. Oh well...!

Peace & Love Mwah!

Sticking through it!

Goooood evening blog! ( Still haven't come up with a name, oh well)

I'ma keep it short and sweet today.

Yesterday was a good day, went to the gym after work and did a Spin and then Body Combat.
When I first went into the class there was a lady covering, a bit older so I thought ' aah I bet she's gonna be bad' but I was wrooong. She was great and she put on the best songs EVER! Im talkin oldschool Marvin Gaye, The Temptations u name it she had it! I was vibing on the bike! lol

Then to my next surprise. Walked into Body Combat and there was a guy covering there too. I got the impression he was a bit nerdy - which I dont mind - and you don't expect your B.C instructor to be nerdy. Little did I know he was a former UFC fighter. That shut me up. He was BRILLIANT!

After that, I just tried to make it home asap. When I did I tidied up a bit, dieshes, cooked some pasta and then finally got to bed.
Was gonna sleep straight away but the Graham norton show was on and Janet jackson was on it with Tyler Perry. So funny!...

Fell asleep at 12, alarm rang at 5.30 and up I had to go to make it to my boxercise class........ t.i.r.e.d.
It was tough but I love tough :)....
Day has passed relatively quick and I will be going to the gym now to join the runners club. 6.2k run in Regents park then im FINISHED for the day.

Ready to go home and put on a dvd and chill out :)

p.s Edward is keepin me company these early mornings.. and nights. I need to move to Forks. lol x

MMMMWAH!

Super Chef!

Hahaha such a funny ending to my day!

Let me start by how it ended. Me and S.B said let;s just have a little rest. Next thing I know It's morning and my alarm is ringing and you know I am a serial snoozer lol... Those extra minutes are prrreeeccioouuss!

So back to yesterday, come home after the gym, which was quite tough actually. Spinning was super sewaty and tough with Jill the Thrill behind the bike and I finished off with 100 situps different reps. Killer too lol..
Got home and HAD to cook the lunches for this week. I've been meaning to try it out for ages but never ever have time. i got home at 9pm yesterday so didn't really have time either,, but hey... no excuses.

It took me a while but I managed to cook - at the same time - 2 nice salmon fillets in the oven accompanied by couscous & tzatsiki. Spaghetti bolognese to cover a whole family lol! Pannbiff, don't know what the word is for them in english but they're like flat meatballs made from scratch... delicious! A tasty salad aswell.
Lunches for the week accomplished. At least until Thursday I hope lol..

I was so tired after this, it was late S.B walked in and had a taster of all the meals and of course didn't want to stop eating lol.. flattered!
We were going to sort out some outfits for a little adventure this evening. But were just so so so so tired!! Couldn't stay up and fell asleep. I hope we don't miss it. I still want to do it but it's just come at such a busy time.
It's such a sweet gift and I truly appreciate it. Hopefully they will let us do it another time. Fingers crossed.

I had a latte and a bagel for breakfast this morning. So bad!! Will push myself extra hard at the spin and body combat this eve!!

LET'S DO THIS!!!

I am realising more and more the importance of determination and following through. Week after week.
The people who make their life goals are those who followed through on small, simplistic tasks efficiently, effectively and most importantly: consistently!

MWAH!

Motivation Monday!

Hello again!
I'm quuick today! lol.. well It is Motivation Monday and despite the gorgeous weather and the upcoming busy weekend I still have to keep focused on my fitness regime and get it done!

I'm gonna miss a session tomorrow because me & S.B have a photoshoot to go to, I got it as a bday gift from him but decided I didn't want to do it alone lol! PRESSUURRREE!
Should be fun... !

Day is going great so far, weather is still fantastic and I spent my lunch sitting on a bench eating, reading and enjoying the sun!

YES all at once...lol

 FYI... those strappy sandals actually caused a line over my toes lol, I was only there for 20 min.. hopefully it will go away... It will... :D Well technically i can't blame the sandals, suppose It was the sun... lol..
If you're wondering what I had for lunch it was a very tasty moroccan style couscous with red peppers, tomato and chhicken fillet. DELISH!

Ok before I blabber any more I better get back to work plus I told Iz I'd be 5 min and it's been like 25... sowweee...!

SPEAK SOON FRIENDS!

MMMWAH!

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!

Hi my lovely friends, yes, my weekend was AMAZING thanks to this little fella I had a burst of energy, a nice tan and some nice drinks surrounding me this weekend!

Friday started with a spin at the gym, then I went home, meet S.B went grocery shopping. We were planning to do a big one unti we walked in and they said ' We will be closing in 10 min ' A paniced look came upon us and we divided to get what we needed. Funnily enough none of us had a list and we didn't tell eachother what we were taking but for some reason we didnt take one thing that was the same lol... funny!

Then we went home, chilled out and I was PLANNING to wake up early jump in the car and head out to a park for a nice day in the sun with a  picnic.
Woke up next day at 8.30 , was a bit gloomy outside... so we had breakfast...for a while lol...

S.B makes the best Omelettes ever!

 Enjoyed that and then we put on a movie... fell asleep at around 10am and then up again at 11 when it was SUPER SUNNY outside and I just got my gear and went out to the garden and made the best of it... Ultimate sheer pure indulgence and relaxation. Just me and my long lost friend the sun. We had so much to catch up on.. After about 4-5 hours we decided to meet again tomorrow.

Kissed by the sun! WOHOO!

In the evening we got ready to go out, went for dinner and then cinema, the back up plan LOVED IT!
I just love Jennifer, something so humble about her. That and she is gorgeous!!
We got back home and I had to catch up on all the things I was meant to do during the day whilst cathcing up with my friend lol..
So it was time for some laundry and some unpacking of furniture, some organising and tidying up... All of it got done. After that we tried putting on a movie, lasted for about 20 min and started falling asleeep. Then noticed that it was 3 at night! BED TIME! Or else I won't wake up for my sun! Bah Who am i kidding, I wouldn't miss it for anything. The amount of days we get weather like this for free?!
I know you know what I mean :)

Sunday up super early again, but had to go get sunscreen since I got BURNT by my friend, no harm done. We tease like that me and the sun, he likes to keep me on the edge lol.. So I went and got my precautions and some other bits then I hurried straight home and settled in the garden for some more relaxation.

Despite spending most of the day in the garden i still managed to make cinnamon buns, and marinate the fish/meat for the week. Also a bit more laundry in the end.. lol
We finished the day with a nice meal at M.S, saw some Britains Got Talent too, so funny! S.B fell asleep in my lap hahaha tired after playing football in the sun!

That was pretty much my weekend! I'm recharged and ready for an exciting week!

In ONE WEEK i'll be in Sweden! WOHOOOO! :D :D

Looooove! <3

Friday friday friiidaaayyy!

Morning my gorgeous Blog!

Ah what a week it's been!!

 Fitness wise I have been ON it, and I feel great.
This is what I've done this week...

Monday: 45 min spin + 5k run.
Tuesday: Muay Thai session 1h
Wednesday: 1h Boxercise in the morning, 6.2 k run in Regents park evening.
Thursday: 45 Min spin Morning. Body Combat + Nike Training club evening.
Friday 45 min spin.

Will have a proper recovery weekend. My body felt SO SO sore yesterday but it went away after the 2 sessions in the evening and a good amount of time spent in the Sauna.

My food intake has been brilliant. Haven't 'cheated' or had any snacks whatsoever.
Now I have to be this consistent during the weekend and the coming week to start seeing some results in the near future.

Other than that the SUN IS SHINING! Not a 100% what the weekend is looking like as of yeat but I will update on Monday!

ENJOY THE SUNNY WEEKEND!! :) xxx

Wonderful Wednesday!

Hello hello hellloooo!!

So It's already wednesday, it's been a busy couple of days with not as much sleep as i would have preferred.

Started writing my food diary again which is very helpful, changed a bit so it's a bit more detailed. Might post it up here but it's easier to keep it in a separate folder and have it all in one.

Monday was good, I went to the gym and did a spin followed by a 5krun.
Tuesday Muay Thai session which was very tough.
Wednesday ( today) I went to a boxercise class in the morning and boi am I feeling it now. It was a full hour full on full. Tough too, buthey. If you know me that's how I want it. I might complain but I never stop. If you go to train you gotta push yourself - hard.
It finished at 8am and then I had 30 min to get ready to get to work and be by my desk at 8.30 sharp.
Omg. That was the coldest shower I've ever had in the history of showers.

Finally getting into it again. Finding momentum, the move and having a cold slowed me down a bit but I definitely feel on it again. 100%!

I'm loving the weather, loving the sunshine, loving that I'm going to Sweden soon, loving that I got into my course, loving the Twilight Books... just loving so much! lol...

I haven't decided if I'm doing a run in Hyde park or a Body Pump class. Will see...
.

I need to reach my goal this year!! I will do it. I can do it!

Also, decied to go Zumba on Saturday. Hopefully it's better than the one at my gym!! :D

Ciao for now compadres.. MWAH!!

Biizzeee weeekeeend!

Hi Blog! I know you've missed me and  I promise to be better, but I've been superbusy so it's a valid excuse!

Friday evening consisted of a mini bootcamp. Wnt to the gym and started with a 45 min Spin which was super sweaty, but I love spinning on Fridays, the instructor turns the light off and blasts the music, you just get inte your own crazy zone. Love it.
Then I did a 5k run, a bit tough, tired legs but hey. 32 min on 9.6k/h speed with 1% incline. Felt good.
I finished off with a 30 min ab attack class and after that I was FINITO!
A 20 min sauna session and amazing shower later I was on my way home... :0)

S.B picked me up from station & we went to Blockbuster for some movies seeing as we'd be spending most of it inside.
First movie we saw was Daybreakers, for us - this was a brave choice! lol.. but I liked it :)

Woke up Sat morning around 8, and a lot of things needed doing but mostly this.

So many boxes was unpacked, and when they were unpacked all the stuff in them had to get sorted. We did this for hours it felt like, combined with foodshopping, cleaning, having breaks, eating, talking. We didnt get to bed til 12. And shattered...!

Sunday was another busy day , woke up at 9 and we had people coming around to set up some things. Busy busy, a lot of cleaning got done. Could have probably done a bit more but hey... it's all starting to materialize now. Few final bits.
Kitchen bits got done, and washing maschine and dryer was installed YAY! Clean clothes again.. lol joking of course!

S.B did a DIY project really well, so proud! We worked as a team and finished as a team, with a nice indian meal and a movie that he couldnt stay up to see and it was only 9.30pm! LOL..!!

Now it's monday again and I'm so ready for a new productive week :)
Gym is on the agenda along with housebits and other arrends.

 
I feel in a great productive mood despite having a busy  and  momentarily lazy weekend! lol..
