I'm on a mission #4: oh dear!

oh dear!

I haven't really been a good girl in terms of super healthy lifestyle this last week. therefore I can't really post anything related to  success/ progress this week.

I maintained. Let's call it that. It's just that I did have a good week last week. and somehow I seem to be allowing myself treats as soon as I had a good week. I'm like " you can treat yourself to a nice ice cream cause you've done so well last week...." and somehow when I start a week like that - the whole week ends up being a "treat week"...

I feel like I'm floating aroung the "healthy" space trying to land onto planet "healthy lifestyle" and sometimes I can touch the ground and I feel super happy there. it feels like home and then all of a sudden I'm being sucked back into the deep black nothingness of "bad choices". that's what I somewhat feel like at the moment.

I'm trying here. But sometimes trying isn't enough. I have to just do it. keep it up. dig in there! not give up.

so here's the deal... my plan for this week. (and if I don't stick to it you can beat my with your cyber whips as hard as you can! understood?! :) )

water, no soda. and I mean no soda or anything else than water at all. (except coffee.. I love coffee and I'm not gonna give it up just yet.)

exercise. nothing big. (I don't want to put up those goal where I can't reach them so you could acutally beat me up with your whips) so I'll say: today's thursday.-....hm. big walk with pup friday, saturday and sunday(my days off) and next week. monday, tuesday I'll work the hometrainer. at least 20 minutes....

food: eat breakfast every freaking day! at least a yoghurt! I'm not gonna change lunch cause I keep that fairly healthy already and then dinner --> NO FAST FOOD or PIZZA! possibly no carbs... but don't hang me if I do have some carbs for dinner. :)

so that's the plan! do we all agree on it?! GREAT!!!!!!! :D

Raven and Kirsten have been are a great motivation but still.. these might help you me..

Weekotos #3: dog overload!

my lovelies! I'm sorry for not posting anything over the weekend. I had my day off on friday and we had a visitor who stayed till sunday evening and I just didn't come around to do anything. SOOOOORRRY! *pathetic look*

so as I missed my weekly recap  yesterday as well, I will just tell you what we have been up to this weekend and will post loads of photos.

BEWARE there is gonna be a lot and I mean A LOT of doggy photos this time around.
ares had a friend staying for the weekend. our friend carou, a blue great dane. so we had 2 big slobbery dogs staying which means I have to do the cleaning tonight. there was just no way in cleaning this weekend as it felt like there was either of the dogs drinking all day long and then walking through the house with saliva pouring off their mouths. so the house is a mess but it was a good weekend.

hubs was supposed to work night shift but he got a call friday evening that he doesn't have to come in to work and we went to some friends house where we stayed till 4am! 4AM!!!f*** I haven't stayed up that long in ages. no alcohol for me, I was the sober driver.but it was fun. I was drinking about 5 coffees to stay awake as hubs was having such a good time and I didn't want to be THAT wife. *rolling eyes*

saturday way mostly dogs, walking, quick visit at my parents place and chill out.
sunday was once again dogs, and cows. well there is this swiss tradition where you have black cows fighting. not that we (the humans) make them fight but it's a way that they figure out who's the "queen" of cows which means the alpha cow. they don't really hurt each other. it's more a pushing around. so they had that in our tiny village and there were loads of people coming. but it was way toooooooo hot. so we just stayed a little and went back home..

 now I'm back at the blogging front. trying to catch up on the reading of all my favorite blogs and posting some things. I have something planned for tomorrow and there is something else on my mind as well..
all I can say is : I'M BACK! and enjoy the photos!

I'm on a mission #3: pitstop on my road to an active me

Reporting on my week in terms of healthy lifestyle:

Loads of water: Check.

No snacking: almost check.

healthy food: mostly check.

exercises: nope. not really. some. not a lot. can't really call taking the pup for a walk exercising? can I? so it's check.  nah, not really.

weight loss: 1kg check. *happy dance!!*

as you don't really see any differences in photos yet I won't post any. like not in progess photos. there is no point really. don't you think so? I'm gonna post some healthy food instead.

I know last week I posted all these yummy cupcakes and sweets. I still love to eat those. I don't think that will ever change. BUT I didn't have any cupcakes this week. instead I was eating healthy food as in fruits and veges and the occational fries ( yeah, busted, I know.) but still. pretty healthy sums it up. :)

so I made some fruit salad yesterday night for dinner and had a yoghurt with it. yummmmmz!

strawberries...

nectarine...

grapes (pitless I tell'ya)...

apple...

my super cute bowl

taaadddaaaaaa: my super healthy fruit salad!

 And a yoghurt to go with it. coconut with vanilla.

I'll start yoga classes in 2 weeks so I ordered some appropriate clothes. some super comfy pants and a shirt to go with it.

My beloved ......

Coffee. Oh, how I love thee.

I'm an addict. A total addict. I'll have about 4-5 cups on the days I work at the office. When I work at the restaurant I'll have way more. When I'm at home I make it to about 2 cups as I try really hard to cut down on some cups.

I'm not so much the espresso drinking kind. It doesn't have to be super strong, it has to have a nice flavour to it. I drink it with milk. cold milk when at home, hot milk when I take it with me and loads of frothed milk when I'm at home.

So I take a coffee with me each day when I go to work and I refill the cup at lunch. I mostly carry around a tumbler. and I'm always looking for new fun ones. I's not super easy to find nice tumblers or even find any here where I live. (right, in the middle of nowhere, swiss alps, rmember?!) so I do own two three sturbucks ones and I really like them. I also bought some down under at TYPO which are really cool but I can't buy more as I'm not living down under. but here to give you some ideas of what I really like to have my coffee in :)
