Fitness | Lacking motivation

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

Workout update: so far so good

It has been 2 days already. There is something about it that, on one hand i am sore and everythong hurts, muscles i had no idea that existed in my body hurt, i have no strength (at least not much right now), but on the other hand, it feels right, feels like a relax, to forget everything going on and just stop to concentrate in something else than all the things that hunt you.

Everything is better.

Today, I can say that I want to keep up with it. I am even buying more gym clothes to have variety and feel more confident when hitting my workout sessions. 

Lets talk about ZUMBA! Omg it is amazing. I don't really know why it is so much fun.. No wait.. I do know. Here is why. You get an instructure who is really active, moves around the mirrored classroom, is always jumping and telling you to keep it up! It is one of the best workouts out there and it so fun to be there. I am going back again on friday. And can't wait for it! 

After the hour of cardio moving my whole body, I get to my strength training always alternating one day legs and one day arms. Right now my whole body is stiff and muscles I had no idea I had in my anatomy hurt.

I will be doing some more posts about my journey and how it is all going.

Hoping you have a great day to achieve great things!

Update + feeling festive

Hello to everyone, adults, kids, the elderly and who ever is reading ts now! I really appreciate how everyone have been patient for the lack of posting! i can't believe it's been so long since I wrote. I have noticed that the gaps between each post is starting to be ridiculous and I feel ashamed.

This semester is my next-to-last and it has gotten out of hand! it is super tough! and a couple of classes are beating me up! one is numbers and the other is strategic planing. Plus work, it all seems to have gotten an effect on me.

On the bright side, it is already November, there are just a few weeks left for the year to end...and that is where my festive spirit is coming from. If you follow me on twitter, you will already know that I am almost done with my Christmas shopping which is super important for me, cause I have been, in the previous years, running around like a headless chick, to get it all together! but this year is so much different than the other and I am just feeling it and I am on a roll! There are just a few little things that I need, but those are just minor things.

I feel I have grown so much this past couple of months in terms of responsibilities, that I need just a little breather moment and being all festive helps very much on that matter.

 

 I hope you have all been well, and that are enjoying the christmas airs that are around this time!

Food.Good.Food

Have you ever tried Alpaca meat? well I had never tried it till yesterday! It was amazing!

That is the only thing I have to say about it. IT was SO GOOD.

In other news, I am busy as busy can get, this semester is CRAZY, but it is so worth it. I am only a few months away from graduating University and as they go by I am one step closer to reaching my goals.

I have to concentrate now and keep on doing some school work and work stuff.

I hope you are enjoying everything that is coming your way!

Update

I think I might be doing too many things lately. I have been busy as hell with school and work and frankly, I have had zero time to spare. Midterms are coming my way. My job is taking interesting turns and my social life is just as a mess as it was a couple months ago.

So basically, I am complete mess once again. I am trying to work my hardest for things to work out smoothly. I am in the process of finishing my career and my classes and my credits to be able to graduate as planed and blogging has been left behind for all reasons mentioned above.

The only spare time I have is to take a little control over my personal life to clean my room (which is constantly messy) take care of my little one and be some kind of help for my mom to make the house somewhat organized. I have a lot to take on. I feel a huge weigh on my shoulders right now and I feel I am juggling very badly with 15 glass balls in the air and trying not to let any single one of them fall to the ground to break. That is how stressed I feel if you get what I am saying.

I took a day off yesterday. Did nothing all day. And I feel horrible about it. Now my work has packed up on me and need to do my best to catch up on it.

I don't like to leave my blog behind but sometimes life is just not helpful. I have to go now.

I hope you all are doing great! you can keep up with me a little via twitter and sometimes over at facebook

2013: So far, So good

To be the first month of the year, it has been pretty rewarding and challenging and stressful, but in the end so worth it! 

I have so many projects in line for this year that I love how all of them are shaping up. I just can't wait any longer for them to happen! 

When the time comes, I may be able to share them with you, and that's what I'm dying to do! I don't like to talk at all about the projects I have with no more people than just my parents and my grandparents. So in that way if it doesn't occur or something does not go as planned I don't have to give explanations and talk about what happened over and over. Privacy in those terms is really important to me. And when something good comes out of it, I love to share my experience and my ups and downs. 

As I was saying before, 2013 does look pretty good. I hope everything goes as planned and that well being and health and joy invade our homes. 

A little update of my life, my dad is undergoing a surgical procedure in a couple of days so I would really appreciate that you accompany our family with some prayers for everything to go better than great, it is a very delicate procedure and I am a ball of nerves, so as my mom. 

I love you all. 

ps. are you guys watching The Carrie Diaries? I am loving it! and House of Fab is pretty good too! (gottal love Kimora)

Sunday Funday: Why So M.I.A?

Happy Thanksgiving 2012

Just Checking in to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! For those who celebrate, and for the ones that don't HAPPY THURSDAY!!

I hope you are all going to spend some quality time with the family and be thankful of having them. And for those who will spend it with friends you too are very lucky to have them and to enjoy an awesome day and special date with them all.

I am thankful today, and every day to have you all guys and to have loving family and friends that support me and are there every step of the way. I am thankful too to have awesome teachers and the possibility to learn from the best.

There are many things to be thankful for, take into consideration that sometimes are the small things that count and make you smile.

I would like to take a moment to commemorate all the loved ones that have passed this year, and that left a huge impact on us and to pray for them to be happy where they are now.

What are you guys thankful for?

Tuesday the 13th.

For some people this date might mean bad luck...for me...it's just a date, but for some reason, bad luck seems to be a possibility! I have a really big test, I have to read way too much, but decided to write this post instead hahahaha <3

I'm a procrastinator at heart, what else can I say? but aren't we all a little?

here is one thing I am waiting for desperately!

THE END OF FINAL EXAMS

THANK GOD FOR 9GAG!! they seem to have every single meme of life.

Meanwhile, i hope your week has been awesome and full of new experiences and that you had a good time learning and spending the days enjoying your fall weather (here where I live is just crazy...the sun comes out but at night it gets freezing cold! just decide already crazy weather!!) 

Pretty picture right? I loved it. It belongs here. 

Updateable me: Final week!

Hey everyone!

It's been a couple of weeks since I've written anything in the blog. I have been having final presentations of papers and term projects that were just consuming all of my time and the spare time I was getting was just to eat or sleep (well actually I've only slept a few hours through those weeks) and to sum it all up I was having final tests. Finance is difficult and Accounting's just as hard as it is. I was going crazy and my mood was just the most bipolar thing I've ever known it to be.

This week we are finally done with the hard work but Finals are here and I really have to step up my game if I want to keep my unbreakable record of good grades. I have a lot to catch up on with the fashion and health posts here and I have a few more things to update you on! Some reading I have been doing this last couple of weeks. 

I want this week to be over and just continue writing and having fun with you! The last couple of episode of Beauty Vlogger Boot-camp have been up and this Tuesday is the season Finale. I can't wait to see who wins!  

I hope you are having a nice day, enjoying it! 

I'm off to bury myself again with books and hope to write as soon as I am on winter break! (the thought of it just warms my heart!) 

xo,

ps. I <3 you all!

I hope you are having a great time where ever you are and have a great weekend!

Organization Mania + My Pinky Incident

Hey Everyone! 

It's been a little too long since I posted something in this blog. Now, as Thursdays are my free day in which I get to catch up with some school work, readings and well personal stuff, guess what? you fit in perfectly! 

I have been watching this awesome YouTube channel called organizedlikejen and has inspired me to become a little more organized specially since I began university again. I just started my weekly planner in which I have all my to do school work and tests for the week and printed out monthly planner in which I have a complete overview of the things I have due in the month and see how I can fit more or less projects and activities. 

I've been in this crazy Organization Plan the few past weeks but just didn't knew how to start it. Thank God I found about Jennifer and the Light came to me! I could see much clearer what I need and did not need. 

In terms of what I did to keep all my class notes and my agenda is maybe a subject that I can spend on hours talking about it because I love that way it all turned out. I can't say that I am super neat and well..organized but it works for me so that I am a happier and mentally healthier student. Yay for it! 

On a side note, I had a horrible incident that has to do with one of my pinky toes (to be precise, the right one). Well, my dad was headed out for work and when he came all happily to say good-bye to his lovely daughter (aka;ME) I stood up and took 1 step forward and he had done so too. SO in that moment is when I felt it, his shoe crashed with my pinky toe and the nail just SNAPPED and CRACKED! and it was the most painful thing I had felt in all of my life. Not to be dramatic but the pain run through my nerves and it was all just awful. My dad felt horrible and was saying to me are you OK? do you want to go to the Doctor? Is it bleeding? And Luckily it was not bleeding and was just a minor nail issue but it did hurt oh so very badly. But everything is fine and it has just a plaster covering the nail just in case it gets tangled with any other thing and just end up falling out. 

(the most colourful and happiest place <3 Innsbruck, Austria) 

So that was what Happened. My Pinky Incident. 

I hope you are having a lovely week!

Talk to you guys soon! :)

Update: Back to School

Hey Everyone! 

I am just about to start University again, I have my timetable all figured out, my school supplies bought and ready to be used and I just feel I've had way to much spare time during this Summer vacations that I forgot how to write on paper. 

But all in all, I am exited to see all the familiar faces of my class mates and the people that I've gotten to know through all these years. I know it is going to be a much much more interesting semester, I am pass half of my career and loving it still. I need to find a place to do intern-ships to get the credits in order to fulfil the ones necessary for me to graduate. 

Many other things have been happening, I got off track with my daily routines and just made an awful mess with my beauty and eating habits through this time. I will make a list and start by getting right in track so that I start the semester ready and able to continue a routine so my life will be more organized than these couple of months I had free. 

I have to concentrate more in the classes that I am taking, so no social life for me, at least, not as complicated and active as it used to be. I have to keep nice and steady grades to apply for a good job and to make it where I want to get as a professional. 

Yesterday was my father's birthday and we celebrated it quite nicely and we got him a couple of nice things as gifts. While trying to find him the presents, I found SHOES and of course i fell in love and bought them. A nice treat for me while I can. I may do a post about them because I love them so much I just could resist them, they are two pairs of shoes, some moccasin-like ballerinas and brown wedges. <3

I thinks that's it for now, until next time !

Crazy for wheels

Not many people know this, but cars and me are a great combo. I am like car crazy and for being a girl I consider that I can follow up with a guys conversation about cars and the brands they love and adore. I am a speed racer by heart, so much that my driving teacher has said to me that i needed to take it easy with the acceleration and calm down, but I love the speed, and therefore fast cars are always one thing I loved. I was obsessed with Aston Martins. They are awesome and stylish and when picking the right one, you can look like a lady in a very powerful car. 

Some may think that girls behind the wheel are a total danger, maybe some are and some are not, but I am standing up for Girl Power and telling all you boys, we may seem fragile but we know how to work it in our way. 

We need the perfect accessories to make the outfits, the hair, the make up to be all well fitted. and a car is like a purse, a very expensive one but is the thing that will make us feel more in control of our lives. 

It's been a very random post but I wanted to say more so you can get to know me a little better. And it's been long since I last talked to you guys and just wanted to update you on what was going on. I have a complete explanation about it all on my gettingfitandlight blog. 

I'll link it here for you to see. 

Love you all

UPDATE: Getting Driving license

Hey Guys! 


I've been like a busy bee this month! i have been going to driving lessons so that I can get my license FINALLY. I've been driving like crazy and the theory part is the worst one of them all. I get bored so easily but luckily i have my blackberry with me so i can cheat a bit and distract my self a few seconds from the class. 


I have been drinking a lot of water lately and also a lot of sodas....which is not good, but what can I say...I get distracted while I can and cheat a LOT. 


As far as personal life, my grandma underwent 2 surgeries, one yesterday and the other one two weeks ago, everything went smoothly and she is recovering nicely. She is going to have to undergo treatment and when the time comes, I'll be able to talk more about that. 


I hope you are having a great time the first month of the year and hope it gets better while it advances.

So December is here...

Hey Everyone! 

I can't belief the year is almost over! It's hollyday season and final exams for me begin this Saturday!  I've been crazy busy this past month and i am SO eager to stop running like a headless chicken all over the place :) I want to focus on the hollydays and begin decorating my house...yes I know, i still haven't done it and that makes me feel sad. I love the Christmas spirit, it makes me feel much much more happy and alive. 

As a tradition, in my family we tend to focus on the dinner table for Christmas and we prepare some jummy recipes and just thinking about them make my mouth water. I really wish i had healthier versions of them but, it's just that time of year in which you can indulge a bit with all the flavour and the jumminess of the season. 

As soon as I finish my final exams, I am TOTALLY going back at writing regular posts in here, i feel i have a lot of things to say and so not enough time. 

Hope you are enjoying the spirit of this season and making the best out of every moment! 

talk to you all, so very soon <3

Update, life and an explanation

Hey guys!


Sorry i've been so M.I.A this past month. Life for me has been an ongoing track of school work and technically i've been buried in loads of things to get done. I'm in the middle of my career right now so the classes are getting harder by the day and it leads to more responsibility. Trying to fit everything, from school to social life and putting up posts in the 24/7 is just seems not enough to get them straight. 


I am going to try to do my best with it and hope to get posts done more often (as often as my schedule allow me) and just keep it up talking to you guys about what we love because, honestly, I've missed you so much! 


Down here in the southern hemisphere is getting warmer by the day and just the fashion and make-up trends are  changing and transforming so i am excited to talk to you about it :) also I'll be posting fall trends that you guys in the northern hemisphere may want to catch and rock out! 

Love you, 


xo,
