Christini goes vegetarian Day 2

This post is not going to be about the Food I had like grated(geraspelt) cucumber apple salad or millet (Hirse) with Quark and apple puree
This will be about my order at "Alles Vegetarisch " : D " Everythings vegetarian", which arrived on Thursday( this post here is for friday =) )
One day a Girl asked me " You are a consumer , aren´t you? "- because I was so existed about my monthly arriving Glossy box ( 5 expensive Beauty articles, from brand products, for a low Price )


 
 
I said, no I´m not, I just feel very happy when the postman is ringing at the door and has something special for me, its like a little birthday Party every month :D


So it was, when the box from "alles vegetarisch " arrived.
What was inside ? 
First of all- I have to admit,  I´m still careful off consuming grains and milk products after the paleo challenge ! But also I noticed, that if I eat daily one small Portion of whole grains, it won´t kill me, but gives me the power to stay fit on my WOD at Crossfit.
I bought puffed whole grain Quinoa.  Cliff bars, - mostly made out off Brown Rice syrup, oats and nuts = WiTH CAUTiON TO ENJOY
Banana Bread- Oats and dried  Bananas are the main ingredients - and I had it for Breakfast today =D, plus some Quark for my  rule " Protein plus fruit "
The Oat Snack, is mostly made out of..............OATS :D and paranuts*best nuts in the wooooooorld
Next to the puffed Quinoa, you see dinkle milk, I don´t know yet for what I will use this, but I will find something =)
I always saw People Blogging "coconut mus", already convinced of the benefits and the taste from coconut oil, I said to myself, okay lets try this !!
Its like the oil- very hard, but if you put it for some seconds in the microwave, it gets very soft and inside are some coconut rasps
Coconut flour is gluten free and has the highest dietary fiber among all the Flours. 40 gram fiber in 100 gram flour. So next to the health benefits, it gives food a caribbean flavour. !
Mandelmus and Cashewmus is the most amazing stuff EVER, its better than every snickers, ice cream, chocolate and so on !
I will use one tea spoon as a topping  for banana pancakes ( one smashed banana and one egg) =  my personal BEST, MOST delicious Breakfast ever !
Protein, fruit = Carbs and a Little bit fat. yummy *-*
Mulberries  are a new dried fruit for me, but I saw it posting from a fit chick on her blog as a superfood in her morning meal, I´ll give it a try ; )
Last but not least, lots of People who tried to eat vegan, use the spice Kala Namak. It is smoked salt and gives for example Tofu an eggy flavour.
I dont´t mind,  I use it, because it has a smoked flavour <3 !
AS a gift I got some boring coffe whitener. You can see it above the Cashewmus , "GRÜSSE" is written on it. I don´t need it, but my mum will use it.

If you have any questions, about taste, recipes, ingredients or calories just ask !

Kristiyan Day 4 : Freestyle healthy day

Today is not a special day at all when it comes to my diet, though my lunch has some more fat (because of the mayonnaise) in it, I am still in calorie deficit. So here is the plan for today in short:

Meal #1 (Breakfast) : 

It's musli again! Wonder how it looks? Look at day 3 again!

Meal #2 

It was my favorite fruit - banana

Meal #3 (lunch)

Today it is some chicken breasts + potato puree + some asian vegetables, really delicious, mmmm! And a selfie of the food : 

Healthy Lunch
Meal #4

It was some pineapple slices, really cool :)

Meal #5

Because I really haven't reached my calories limit today, I allowed myself to make a mayonnaise salad with some carrots and cabbage. It was super delicious though!
Mayonnaise salad

Polona day 4: no beer in the fridge

I went for a 10k run yesterday and it felt so good. Well except my app Strava, which didn`t work again and claimed I only ran 7k. Not true. I craved a beer so much during the whole workout and when I came back home, of course my fridge was empty. My best ever flat mate Sophia made my dream come true and brought me one from the “Spätkauf” downstairs.

I also found this Milka which is simpley amazing. Salt+sweet = wow! 




How I eat?

When I say I eat everything I mean I eat everything. But I don`t stuff myself. I eat until I am like 80-90 % full. This keeps me feeling good and comfortable throughout the day. I eat candies every day, but I also eat meat, veggies, fruit, whey, eggs, nuts ... every day. You see, I literally eat everything, because I don`t put myself down by saying “You are not allowed to eat that”.

So yesterday my dinner was only beer and whey. I love whey. It helps me add protein to my daily menu and saves me from eating meat the whole day. I woke up really rested this morning, so I guess that cool combination worked.

The lunch today was crispy fish fillet, but baked on baking paper without any use of oil. With some salad. I have been eating like that for 2 years and it keeps my attitude towards my body and my food relaxed, fun and life-long. All that time I have been slowly transforming my body with friends saying “oh you lost so much weight”. I don`t know, because I don`t weight myself. It`s a number without a meaning. 


So this challenge it`s so fun. I will (hopefully) show you, you can eat everything (again everything doesn`t mean stuffing yourself with food) and still change your body. But it doesn`t work if you don`t relax first: keep calm and work on your mental well-being/satisfaction from enjoying life. 

Our CrossFit Spree box was full today and Ilze - paleo girl did some crozzfittin` competin`.

Hungry game

If harder I go on my WOD, then less hungry I am. Actually I can not eat at all. Basically it is wrong, because my body need to have some proteins, but in stead of that I am able only give some Amino Acids and vitamins. Furthermore on the next day he is asking more as usual.



I had on Wednesday two WODs. First was a short metcon ->
50-40-30-20-10
Kettlebel Swings (24kg)
Sit ups
and than came the Partner Wod (see in the photo).

9min metcon and after it 35min hard core workout made me feel great, but also totally exousted. It is normal for me, if after so much 'Fitness' I am only thinking about getting in my bed and sleep. Furthermore, already two weeks after partner WOD I can not even think about eating something. Also banana and fruit sugar is something that makes me feel like I will puke if I will eat something like that.

Day after Wednesday is always a little bit hard and it is not because of my muscle sournes, but also for my eating. What did I had in my meal plan?
- Breakfast: Tuna salads (huge portion) + two bananas + one apple
- Brunch: Fruit salads with coconut cream (huge portion)
- Dinner: Schawarma (meat with salads)
- Late meal (omg, it is for the first time at 10pm evening!!!): Fruit salads.

Maybe my mind and body get prepered for Team Challenge on Weekend? He tries to eat and sleap as much as he can, because on Saturday I will be in the team with 9 man and 1 girl competing against weightlifting team or at least he tries to consume all calories that he lost on Wednesday.

My plan is to keep on the rules and not eat 12 hours. Well, it mean, not eat before 10am, but I can not do it. I feel totaly without power and strenght and I think that I need to eat more. Maybe even try to eat more meat instead of fish? On the other hand, it is question about my time and ability to prepare my food. My problem for now is my time and too much stress abut my challenge on weekend.

Todays plan includes food ->
- Tuna salads for breakfast, because it is easy to prepare it for my work,
- dinner nap, because I need to work tonight, in case if I will not call my college and ask if she can work,
-  some 6 hour sleep and then getting ready for the challenge.

There are some things to do! And how about you?

Christini goes adult: Day 1





Yesterday I officialy finished school and got my a -Levels.
We had a evening similar to "Prom" and I drank so much alcohol. !
I came back at 6 o ´clock a.m.
Thats why I started 2 days later then the others with the challenge :p

Meal one :I already ( 9 a.m.)  had  two slices of flaxseed bread with ham and one banana



Meal two: For lunch  (1.30 p.m) I had a fruitsalad ( strawberry, cherry, apple, peach )   with Quark (is this the real english Translation for Magerquark?)

Meal three: will be green - stewed princess beans, broccoli and fish

Snack: nuts or an apple ? or a nice Cup of coffe with 2-3 dates <3

So the Problem today, in consideration to my rule "no Food after 8 pm , or before 8 am is, that I start working at 6 o ´clock pm  and I probably will not be able to eat my third meal, only a snack, so that I eat it tomorow morning ? hm lets see... (Problems, other People dont have XD )

enjoy this great day,  love this life = )

Polona day 2: the Rules

Most of my days are like that; leave home at 8.15, come back at 21.30. So yes, my whole day is on the run, that's why all my rules are about slowing down (stoping my ususal rush), turn off my mind and take the rest my body needs.

The 5 rules I will be following in the next 60 days.

1. Not eating in restaurants.
2. Daily 10-minute meditation.
3. Eat breakfast every day.
4. No computer between 22.30 and 6.00.
5. 3 Liters of water every day

Breakfast today was sweet.

Breakfast: Eggs with two bananas & vanilla. BIG coffe.



Food at work: smashed pork with Spätzele & some veggies.


Yeah the whole office smells like my lunch now. The comment I got from my boss "You have 5 hungry males around you".

I am working until 18.00, then I'm off to Olympic weightlfiting training. Before that I will have some chocolate, milchreis and stuff like that.

Freeride through life,
P.
