I'm sorry

I'm really sorry for not posting for a long long time. I have had many ideas what to post but moving out into temporary apartment is really frustrating and time-consuming. The case is that first I was moving into apartment next to beach and woods. Beautiful area but some problems occured in the apartment. Then I had to run around the city to find suitable apartment. No luck :P
Now my friend offered her own apartment, since she is going abroad tomorrow and I can live in her apartment for next 3 months :) Yey! It really bought me some extra time to find apartment that I like and location is great! 10 mins away from gym, 15 min away from family, 20 mins away from beach!! :D Also it takes only 25 min to go to work! ;) Perfect!
Also reason why I havent posted anything(in addition of being soo busy) it's because at the moment everything is packed away so I can't find all the clothes I want to show to you guys and my diet is been horrible. I decided that during summer I will eat a lot more fruits, since I love them a lot and during summer it's just perfect meal for being so light and tasty :) But diet has been like this:
Breakfast - oatmeal with strawberries
Lunch - apple
Snacks I totally have forgot to eat.
Dinner - Chicken with rice or creamy mushroom soup.
In this hurry I forget to eat and I don't feel hungry during summer because warm weather somehow makes me feel bloated. (weird?) Forgetting to eat is really really bad. Nobody should ever do that. It has far more downsides in it than anything good.
I haven't loosed any weight due the fact that stress causes me to eat constantly something :P So I have pretty much eaten all the cookies and chocolates I had stored for a bad day. Until I bought salty peanuts and started eating those. Even stress can't make me eat those more than few. It's not that they taste bad. Theyre delicious. It's just the salt that prevents me from eating too much.
I can't wait to get rid of this moving part and start to enjoy the summer! :) I have started biking a lot and it's a great way to get tan too. Oh soon I get to go to beach, picnics, feed ducks and squirrels and have lots of fun! Now we just need more of those sunny days and less of those fake days. I hate those. You can see its a sunny day but once you get out it's cold and windy! :(
Once I have moved into my friends apartment, I'll try to work everything out and then I'll share more of my diet and clothes etc :) Since during summer nothing beats fruit/berry smoothies that replace meals and taste great ^^

Pain+stress=no proper eating

I noticed that when the pains first time appeared my eating turned from 5 times a day to if I need to. 5 times a day is the one for you if you workout a lot or want to lose weight. If I need to, is one that I don't recommend to anyone. One day I might eat one apple, next day lots of chocolate and some days I have been only drinking milk and haven't even touched anything that could be considered a food!
When I'm sick, I usually don't feel like eating at all. So I will eat when I feel like which is of course really far from proper eating. This week I have decided to get back on track. I won't eat 5 times a day but my goal is 3 times a day and it must be healthy. My fridge has in it gabbage, carrots, milk, curds and pineapple. Well bread is ok too! But not daily. I love eating toasts with gabbage! It's like the best of all! Overally I love toasts and sandwiches!
Btw all post suggestions are welcomed :)

I'm back!

I closed all my blog due some stupid visitors. I dislike spreading my pictures without my permission and since my pictures ended in place where only idiots spend their days, I had to close access to blogs.
Hopefully they have forgot me by now and I can continue boring everyone who ends up here with my boring stories :)
A little bit of what has happened during blogs being closed:
- Injured my legs and back. No cure for it yet( I don't consider painkillers a cure). Which basically means that my walking far from normal walking. And it's also a real pain in the ....! I can't stand straight, neither walk while having back straight. That causes my back to hurt and my legs can't hold my weight at all. I can walk for 2 min normally and suddenly start to walk like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Yey, it's soo great -.- The pain might have started from quitting all of a sudden hardcore working out since muscles were used to it and when you quit just like that, they will protest. I doubt it's that but you never know.
- Studies cause a lot of stress, depression, raging etc. I'm like mad cow at the moment. It's not only because of studies, but I feel like all I'm doing right now is useless and I'm just wasting my time. Yeah, I'm probably wrong and currently fighting against that feeling :D
- Changing school/moving abroad. That's something I want to do at the moment really badly but I can't. I hate my current school for being so useless to me. What will I ever do with Swedish language? Nothing. I have never used it thought at my work they hired only people who were able to speak swedish. Also even if it was usable language, I always prefer english or russia. With those 2 languages I can express a lot more my thoughts and feelings. My swedish is and will always be like really boring and empty. I can't be creative with that language. Why abroad? Well I think this country sucks and is plain boring. I don't enjoy myself here.
- Joining a gym. I have always thought that joining a gym is a waste of money, yet at the moment I'm considering joining the most expensive gym in this city. Why on earth I'm doing that? Well, I'm too busy right now to spend 20 minutes to my workouts at home. Because when I come home, the time flies here. I think if I spend my money on something like gym, I will be there everyday so my money won't go to waste. If I go there, I might spend time doing something useful and I won't feel like: life sucks, I'm soo emo :D I got about 6 hours a day to myself but at home I don't find that time at all. So I will force myself to gym so I won't waste it at home on something useless. Why most expensive gym? Because it doesn't have so many people going there and I have only heard good things about it. I don't like places, where's too much people. What's the best part of that gym? Mostly rich people go there which means there's mostly old people! I prefer old people as my workout partners since they are nice ;D

Good news everyone,

I failed really really badly while doing my meal. And I blame blue dragon! Eww ewww eww. Holy sh*t, it was bad!!!!!!! Blue dragon is some werid version of asian food ingredients. Not to mention it's expensive compared to hard-to-reach ones!
I don't know why, but cooking has never ever been my thing. I can follow a recipe but rest is just impossible. Making an easy meal is like a rocket science to me -.-
Baking is again another thing. That's where I shine!! I can do anything and come up with my own recipies and they taste delicious!
So here I end my food blog for a long long time! Next time I'm in kitchen is when I'm baking. Cooking well maybe someday I'll do that again.

Today's meal!

Cooked potatoes, fresh cauliflower, fresh broccoli and some butter! Slice potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli to bits or mash them all up. Warm up in microwave and enjoy! yummy yummy^^<3
Why fresh? Because I think they taste better when theyre fresh! Why butter? Because you need some fat in your meals! It's good for you^^ Not to forget that it tastes better too! I don't peel my potatoes because they taste better like this and are healthier!! :)
*Microwave is my best friend! I'm lazy and I hate waiting for my food to get ready! I want it NOW. So I'll my meals are done in about 15 min. I can cook over 15 min but then I have to be doing all the time something or else I get bored and forget about having something in oven and Voila! Burned meal in oven. Yey! I also have succesfully burned my potatoes while cooking them once and that was it! Now I avoid cooking as much I can so it won't happen again.

:'( You can't see the cauliflower since it's in the bottom!

Let's hope that someone kind reads this and gives me pressie :P I'm a dreamer but I'm also desperately in need of easytones. x) more »

I want all those old goodies back!!

I noticed that when I go to shop, all I see is just same companies names. In supermarket you see only about 15 different companies. I mean PLEASE, stop it! Those companies make all sort of stuff. Milk, yogurths, cheese etc. And it's making me feel sick! The same typical taste can be noticed in foods that same company makes. And what's most annoying is that there's no variety at all! Lots of different foods, but all have the same taste.
Oh I miss the days when I could buy soda nearly any taste I could come up with. Now it's only lime, cola, lemon(doesn't taste like it's lemon), orange and few more. But I remember from my childhood buying strawberry, pineapple, lemon, mixed fruits, cherry and apple soda. And WOW, the taste! I mean it was real juice that they used. Now it's just full of artificial taste that is just tasteless. Sure I can taste tiny tiny bit of lemon, but it doesn't taste real.
I really would like to have all those small companies take over these big money hungry companies. Prices are high because there's no little companies trying to compete against the big ones. And the prices are way too high! Coca-Cola, woah the old taste. The current taste just sucks big time. It's missing something. I loved Coca-Cola, now I just hate it. Coca-Cola light used to be tasty as well. Now it's just disgusting.
Also what's with the sugar-free, fat-free and low-calorie food? Seriously stop it, RIGHT NOW!
Sugar-free? Eww, that new horrible taste. They replace sugar with something that is way more harmful than sugar actually. If you use too much sugar, just use it less! You like drinking soda? Sure, I like sweets aswell. But drink 1 soda not 10 during a day! Not the mention that the taste is worse than if they would have used sugar.
Fat-Free? Oh your body needs natural fat, just don't add lot's of butter on your bread, eat less meat etc. It's easy! Instead of eating that tasteless and unhealthy food(yes, removing fat means that they remove also other stuff that needs to be then replaced with artificial chemicals), eat real food with limits. Taste is horrible :(
Low-calorie? You should eat less! Not more with less calorie! It's not the calories harming you, but your size of plate!
Honestly, I would be soo happy if I would have more free time. I would bake my own bread, have a garden full of veggies or buy it from local farmers and I would do all my meals myself from the start(which I actually do!). I hate ready meals. Meals, where everything is done for you. Who knows what they added in it? And the taste is nothing close to home-made delicious food. Sure you can read what they added. But I know soo many people who don't read the information of a product.
I want good old days back. I'll just be here, waiting, knowing it won't happen. But girl can have a dream. I know it would happen if people would ditch their current shopping list and change it to more chemical-free list. But our busy lives don't allow us more time to bake our own bread. Pff excuses! I have been sitting on my butt for hours now. I could have spend 20 min of it to make delicious dough and bake my own bread. I just don't want to eat bread now. Shame! Because then you would have seen my pretty pwetty bread and fallen in love with it and maybe started baking yourself aswell! ^^

Lidl

I don't know why so many hate this shop or have negative thoughts of products sold there. First of all those products sold in Lidl usually win in all kind of taste tests. Or get atleast second place. So what's wrong? Do cheap prices scare you away and make you think that it must be something disgusting then? Oh camoon! Food doesn't have to be expensive to be delicious, clothes don't have to cost dozens to be TOP quality.... People use your brains! That's why we have brains! Why you believe what other people say?
To be honest I think it's best shop ever. Great quality clothes/other random stuff, good food with great variety and everything is AFFORDABLE and worth the price. Honestly, I don't get the hate of Lidl. First time I went to Lidl was in Germany, when I was living in Germany. I mean it was popular shop there! But here it has bad reputation. No matter how often it is proven that it is cheaper and wins 90% of taste tests. Are you people blind? Don't ever say that something is disgusting or bad without trying! I can't come up with any product there that isn't good.
Sushi I bought from Lidl was way better than the ones I have had in restaurants and it was cheaper. Okay, well some products do taste a lot different from what locals here are used to. But if 1 yogurth out of 10 tastes bad in your opinion, then it still doesn't mean ALL products are bad. If they sell that yogurth there, then probably many people love it's unique taste. Sure the yogurth is a lot different from what you can get from other shops. But mostly all the products there have more real taste than those fake chemicals that you can find in other shops. For example strawberry yogurth I bought from other shop was way more expensive and it didn't have pieces of strawberry and the taste was boring?, barely tasted the strawberry and it was watery. Lidl's strawberry yogurth was cheaper, had bits of strawberry and the creamy strawberry taste was de-li-cious!
Also I love that Lidl brings variety into my month every 2 weeks. Like now we have France theme. Cooked escargot in garlic butter, ratatouille, croissants, crémé brûlée, nougat and many more. Yummy yummy!!! I would have bought everything but I can't :( But they also bring twice a week new random stuff, like clothes and shelves and DIY's etc. Yesterday I bought from another shop 2 baguette's. They were now on sale so they were instead of 2€'s 1.50. But from Lidl with 1€ you get 2 baguette's that are way more better. Why can't you enjoy the great deal? Cheap great stuff available right infront of your nose and you still are against it? Pfff, stupidity. I would really love to buy food only from Lidl's unfortunately, it's located in a bad place.
Also you can get all you need from Lidl, there's no reason to go to any other shop. I really recommend everyone to buy stuff from there. You really save lots of money and enjoy real good food. If you don't have one in your country, try your local cheap shop. It might suprise you, if not then you atleast know the truth of it.
Lidl's clothes are often claimed to be low quality, but people, my hobby and future job will be sewing and clothes designing. I know about fabrics and sewing a lot. Because I love it. It's my passion, even more than dancing. I have always dreamed of becoming designer. I used to sew clothes for my barbie's, so don't come to me with your bullsh*t. Those are TOP quality clothes. I buy from there clothes that I even wouldn't use so often, but it's really cheap and the quality is great so who cares if I use those once a half year. Those clothes are superior. For once try any of Lidl's sportwear and you will notice that it is even way better. My old expensive pants from some sportshop don't have nearly as much great things as these Lidl's ones. Why waste 50€(on sale price) on a label if you can get for 10€ way better ones? I don't believe that Better Label=Better Quality Because it doesn't go like that. Even If I buy clothes that are made by some wellknown label, still I buy it because I have carefully checked that it is properly made and worth the price.
This is enough for today's complaining. Hopefully some people really start thinking with their own brains...

My shopping list / How I eat.

Well I thought this would be helpful for some people who are trying to lose weight or start healthier life! =) And yes it doesn't mean I don't eat sweets! I love sweets!! Even now I have toffee icecream in my fridge ;) I have ate it now twice and more and I haven't ate half of it yet! Before losing weight and healthy eating, I would have ate whole ice cream in half an hour. Now I would just love to eat salad, just sometimes I feel like eating sweets and I think I could eat whole ice cream but it usually gets old before I finish it! :(
I eat 3 times a day from a bowl which is 13cm(diameter) 6cm(depth). If it's soup or salad or oatmeal, it's usually full. Sweets are a bit over the half. 2 times a day I eat some fruit with yogurth or hard boiled egg. So that's how much I eat! Yes it sounds a little but the food I eat makes me feel full! :) My daily eating sounds like this: morning - oatmeal snack - apple lunch - soup snack - apple dinner - salad. Sometimes I eat 6 times, then I eat a fruit. Also variety is very important! Don't eat the same food every day!

What should I buy or How my shopping list should look like?

- Lots of veggies!
My most used looks like this: cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, iceberg salad.
- Spice it up!
I use mostly: garlic!! and of course oregano, spinach.
- Lots of fruits!
I usually buy apple(they can last even a month without even looking old!) and orange(lot's of c-vitamin and fiber) and pears.
- Lots of berries!
I usually buy strawberries 1kg but sometimes mixture of berries. =)
- Braaaaains!! Oh sorry I meant beans.
Peas and beans are awsome! Chick beans, kidney beans etc.
- Something is fishy here!
Salmon or tuna are ones I mostly buy!
- Meat
I prefer chicken but sometimes turkey or beef.
- Milk
This one rocks!! Lots of protein and yummy =) Some foods taste better with milk.
- Oatmeal
Tasty and healthy breakfast.
- Variety of nuts
Healthy snacks. Also you can add these to soo many things!
(- Rice or potato or quinoa or yogurth or olive oil or coconut milk
This isn't necessary but it's nice to have some variety in your meals.)

And that's it!
So let's think what you can do with all that.
Veggies, spice up's and beans make a great salad. You can eat just salad or add fishy or meat to it! There's then 3 salads! Meat salad, fish salad and just salad.
Berries and fruits = fruit salad or fast healthy snack or add some yogurth to those and you got yourself a dessert. Also add berries to your oatmeal and Voila yummy oatmeal. You can also make yourself orange juice, there's no juice in the world that beats home made juices!
Drink cup of milk with meals and you got yourself enough protein! ^^ Or do as I do! I love to eat strawberries with milk!
Also you can make soup of veggies, beans and meat or fishy. Soups are easy to make. Believe me! Forget the hard recipies if they are really hard for you, just add water and cook all veggies and meat in it!
Sure you can add a tiny bit of something that isn't listed here but these are mainly all you need! But I recommed buying dark chocolate(70%+) than milk chocolate. Try different dark chocolates to find your favourite ones! =) But try to avoid other sweets.
Fruits and berries aren't sweet enough for you as they are? Well how about cut the apple, pear or orange a half then add some raisins, coconut flakes, honey or powdered sugar. Anything you can come up! Orange is ready to eat like that but pear and apple I would put in oven for a bit. I will write down the recipe here some day. But you can comment me to do so faster if you really want to use the recipe as soon as possible :)

How to get variety with this buying list?
Easily! Just buy different berries, different fish, different meat, different veggies etc. Also you can use same meat but if you have different salad with it, it is different meal then ;) You can add a tiny bit of sauce or coconut milk or olive oil!

Important!
Do all your meals yourself, don't ever buy ready meals. Why? Because then all that is in the salad is added by you! I bought salad from a shop. Salad wasn't as tasty as the ones I make myself and it had some disgusting oil in it!! So my TASTY salad was also fat free. Why waste more money on ready sh*t!?

Also remember to go to shop when you are full. I just ate my icecream and while I was shopping I felt ill of seeing sweets :D And what's most important: Never leave home without shopping list. Don't buy anything that isn't listed. You will avoid buying unnecessary sweets or something that isn't healthy!

Resting after being sick

So as many might know, you need to rest your body even after being sick.
Time being sick * 2 = time you need to recover/rest.
During being sick, you should not be doing any exercising! Only rest! During recovery you can do light exercises such as walking, streching and slow dancing. If you do workout during recovery, you can make everything worse. I know because I have done that!
So during being sick, I was just home! DOING NOTHING AT ALL! And I felt like I was wasting time and being useless. So later I started walking a bit more and today I think my body was fully recovered and I was able to do my 20 minute cardio! :) jumping+core=joy(and sweat)!

I'm back! ^^
