WATER WATER WATER

WATER – our bodies are composed basically by water, actually some studies show we are 72 percent water so it is really important to spend a little time gathering a bit of knowledge about I right?

It is amazing what the benefits of water in our daily routine. It is not only about getting refreshed after a long walk or in a hot day, we are talking about THE FLUID that makes our body machine works better and perfectly, give it a try, make yourself drink at least 2 liters of water a day for one week, you will feel the difference.

I’ve been drinking 3 liters or more everyday firstly due to my Zumba classes and my gym work out and you may think that water occupies space and will make yourself fatter so I ll try to break this myth:

Imagine a glass full of fat (oil) this glass is a body. Very gently pour some water, take your time doing that cause you won’t drink 3 liters of water at once, you’ll have a whole day for that. As you pour water inside the glass you will see that they do not dissolve each other and as the water goes in fat will overflow. Now try to apply this simple thought to yourself if you keep drinking water consistently for a day you will help yourself to get rid of some fat.

Another point our liver works as filter to our body, imagine everything we consume all day, and worse if you like some drinks as I do sometimes DRINK WATER 86 per cent of our livers is water.

Beside these great benefits water is also responsible for getting rid of body toxins which make your body slow and is directly linked to the fact of getting lazy to go to the gym :)

Here’s a little something you might use to help you through the first days. Get a 2 liters bottle and write on it till what time you should have your portion of water after some days you will see that you are already disciplined to go on without the bottle and you will start getting the benefits of a healthier life:

Sweet Potato

Sweet Potato

Carbohydrate day, feels great, it will be a day I’ll have more energy to go on with. It will help me burn more at the end of the day but it also means I’ll be stuck with sweet potato and believe me I ve known the taste of sweet potato for a while now that’s why I came across with this simple recipe I’ll share with you now

300 gr of sweet potato

A bunch of coriander

One third of a pack of feta cheese

Salt and pepper

Get your potatoes boiled and cut into small pieces, add coriander and small cubes of feta cheese, prepare your tray with a sprinkle of salt and pepper before adding the potatoes and cheese. How ease is that?

p.s: you may add a drizzle of olive oil for an extra taste...

p.s2: yeah my knife is pink, you gotta a problem?

You are what you eat...

If you ever been on a diet you’ll understand what I am about to talk about. You have a restrict variety of food to go through, textures will be basically the same for quite some time, and after a while your taste for food will become insensitive, I mean you’ll start to think as a perfectionist-hardcore-biologist-bodybuilder would think…”I am not eating chicken, I am processing protein or if you are eating a sweet potato you will only thing about the production of insulin”

That’s why this weekend I gave my cravings for texture a chance to satisfy it. I went mad at cooking. BEWARE I haven’t stop my diet … I just successfully found a way of cooking something different with the same range of food I have

Here it goes

Asparagus and cherry tomato chicken roll

500 gr of chicken breast

3 small cherry tomato

5-6 asparagus stick

Half onion

Seasoning

Salt

Put all your chicken in a food processor; mince it till you get a paste texture. Spread the chicken I a thin foil; make sure you leave about 1 cm each side of the foil without the paste. In you go with all the filling (I am using asparagus but you can go for whatever you have you your fridge), onion and tomato in. Using the thin foil as guide start closing your chicken roll, make sure you have everything really tight cause at the end It will be easier to slice. Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.  When it is cooked just unwrap it and slice… and enjoy it…

FUCK OFF

Before starting I need to say something:

-I am really not a troublemaker

- I try to get along with everybody at the gym (please understand that get along doesn’t mean go madly talking with everybody)

- I am 1,55 meter high

- I am a girl though sometime I behave like a boy

- I really respect the rules

That said, let's start

I was working out yesterday, Leg day, one of my favourite, went for the leg curl machine first to warm up a little because squat machine was busy and I asked the guy that was using it if I could be the next in queue, the way we normally do when we are in the gym. Out of the blue somebody I’ve never seen at the gym just showed up and started staring the squat machine, so I just went there and said I was the next one and the guy went ABSOLUTELY MAD at me, saying I wasn't and he was going to be the next and blab la bla… I really have nothing against people that are starting in the gym, but please try not to cross my way if you are going to behave as a CHICKEN …

God, I I had to control myself for a while or I’d tell the fucking guy to fuck off… but now after one day I see the anger I felt really just helped me lifting heavier…

 

What is this all about??

Life is said to be made of ups and downs, I’d rather say life is made of challenges and victories. There’s nothing you propose yourself to do that you can’t actually do. I had my own way of experiencing that.

I am not here to tell you what to do or what not to do, I am here to SHOW you what I've been doing and from that you can make your own assumptions. I am not a fitness goodness who will never be wrong I am a genuine seeker of the better of myself therefore I am always trying to find the best of everything and part of everything is my body and that’s what this blog is made for.

Seekers of a better body, a healthy way of eating, gym exercise, types of diets, supplementation, resting time among other things I've been putting myself through for the last decade.

Once again, I am not here as a professional trying to gather new clients, I am here to expose the way things have been working out for me, hopefully inspiring some people and  getting  inspired by sharing what I got from time.

To exemplify what I want to show, here’s a little something. The pictures bellow show my body a few years ago and my body nowadays, it’s not much, but is the much I am proud of achieve though being far from what I really desire.
