Fitness | Lacking motivation

Today I will tell you all that I am not motivated at all to eat right and much less, working out. 

Cravings...

Hey Everyone! 

I have been craving lately so much sweet! I just don't know what is going on. And certainly, I've indulged too much on it. Yesterday I hit rock bottom with it. And how did I noticed that? Well, I ate a full bag of gummy bears, then had a chocolate and then some jelly. I have been the worst lately. 

I started feeling tired and, just not my normal self. I went through various mood swings and just couldn't manage it!

So from today onwards, I have made myself a promise. To cut out sweets. All sort of candy. The bad stuff. I am going for using sweeteners only if necessary, ie: if I drink a coffee. I will not say that I wont eat once every 2 weeks those desserts, just try to make it a healthier option for me to cut it out on week days. 

Saying this, I leave my statement here, the beginning of my no sweet regime. I hope I can pull this off and not succumb to the temptations. I have a really big sweet tooth. Oh dear, Will power.

Update: Modeling?

Hey everyone!

I have been crazy busy these few weeks.There are some exiting things happening for me that I am not yet allowed to say but I hope soon I will be able to. My best friend since we were 5 years old is studying Communications and Broadcasting and something more fancy involving film making and she's asked for my help to model in one of her group projects. I have worked with her previously and I love how it all worked out.

Now I will do a pictorial like ad campaigns and we'll see how it all works out. I hope we can share some pictures with you and make a new layout for the blog! How cool would that be? Fingers crossed! 

Stunning pictorial right? 

Gossip Girl's season 5 has ended. I was so torn when the credits rolled and seeing that Blair is FINALLY fighting for Chuck. I wish they will not make us wait too long for the final season, which BTWs is going to be short, as of 10 episodes short. So I will have to wait helplessly for the new season and meanwhile thank God Pretty Little Liars is going to be back soon so my cravings for my all time favourite series is not going to be as bad as it has been this week! If you have any recommendations of what shows to watch, please please please let me know! I am in the hunt of new ones to keep in my mind. 

I hope you have a great week and that it started right for you <3

Healthy Spotlight: Blueberries

Hey there my loves!  

Recently I've found that blueberries are a great fruit to munch on and as a great complement for cereal and oats. I know many of you might already like this combo, but i actually never got interested in it specially because the looks of it was not nice for me at all. 


Later I decided to try it and see why many people liked it. And I got hooked. But it is just not the taste that fascinates me, it's also the amount of health benefits it provides. 


Here are 3 main characteristics of blueberries and why you should incorporate them in your diet. 


1.- They are great anti-oxidants. They help slow down the process of ageing of your body and provide you with extra energy. 


2.- They help to keep in pin point your memory making it sharper and better. 


3.- They contain a great amount of vitamins and minerals which increase the nutritional value of any of the food you pair them with. 


Remember, good food pairing is they key point to make your body happy and your energy at a good level.

BBQ lovers

Hey guys!

Yesterday we spent an awesome night with great friends and amazing food! it's that time of year were the semester just ended and you got a lot off of your chest and brain... and now you want to spend all the leisure time having fun and making the best out of every moment. 

For summer days and pretty nice spring nights, we tend to like going out to dinner and sometimes our choices are not the best and we end up eating a huge plate of pasta and drinks filled with sugar. But i have a pretty nice option for you! and a healthy one too. 

Instead of going out to eat, why not gather your friends at your house or apartment complex for a barbecue? it's fun, it's easy and it's so good and tasty! What i like the most of bbq's is that you don't fry stuff, the food is completely clean from the oils you use in your kitchen and while grilling them some of the fat contained in the meats just melt away and are not re-absorbed by the meat you are grilling. 

Side the meats with a nice big salad and in that way you are eating balanced, if you like baked potatoes, go ahead and but them in the grill covered with tinfoil and they will be super nice and will have a smoked taste to them. 

As for the meats, I recommend buying chicken, pork and even lean beef which has less fat then the normal steaks. Try to avoid hot-dogs and hamburgers, but one every now and then does not hurt anybody. the buns are not a must, because if you have potatoes... then don't mix carbs try having either one or another to avoid temptations. 

BBQ's are great ideas to spend those summer evenings and nights with your family and friends staying healthy and having a balanced diet 

I hope you guys are enjoying this month <3
