Hola to all!
It seems to me, that I might have neglegted my old friends, but my new ones will be stuck to me for another year or so. Cant be helped! But I thought I’d share my BFF’s with you to.
Lets take a look of my friend who said “Kiss-my-butt” to sugar 🙂
Its Stevia! Stevia can be bought in the form of powder, liquid and little tablets. Stevia is from a plant and its SUPER sweet, so be carefull
when palying with it! If you would normally use 1dl of sugar, you can replace it with 1/7 ts! So one bag will last a long, long time! But its
a good thing – at least for me, as I have a sweet-tooth like there’s no tomorrow, and I don’t think I could do this without my treats. But I
have made my treats healthy, like my sugar-free apple pie, and Stevia gave me the oppotunity to create more good treats without
sugar and with less butter consumption. Me likey!
The next friend keeps me on track, she lets me know every little detail about my workouts and even wakes me up in the mornings, when needed – love her!
It’s my Polar-baby! I bought mine from Ebay and aaI can’t recall the exact price but it was not bad – around 50€.
The good thing with this one is that is shows me whether Im burning fat or improving my fitness.
That is of course not the only good thing. This one also shows me what my current pulse is (during my workout) and after
how many calories I have burned so far. After a workout the summary tells me how many calories I burned in total, what
my average and max pulse was, how long I spent burning fat and how long for improving fitness level of my body.
Then we have few things, which go down my throath and give me the energy I need for my days.
The Health-trio!
Avocados, nuts & salmon!!!
I’m in heaven – and with and with good fats! Great!
And last but not least…
WATER! My love forever! And I keep showing how I feel by drinking around 5 liters of it per day. Could not be without –
BUT when you drink a lot of water you should remmeber that all the little mineral excape your body faster than normaly.
There for it is super important to keep eating extra vitamins and to keep your salt levels where they should be at. Salt
can easily eascape, at least in my case, as I do not just drink a lot, but I sweat a lot too. And I learned this the hard way. My
calves crampped so badly that I had to go and see a doctor. For two days I was unable to walk much and when ever I stood
I felt this annoying preasure with some pain. Two days solid like this is not much fun. During the third day the cramp let go
a bit by bit, and during the evening I was back to normal. But I spent the two days previously eating salt, with almost
everything – even drinking it down with water 🙂
These little buds of mine are holding my hands during my hectic schedule of work and sports. But they are such a good company that I have nothing negative to say 🙂
Remember to stay focused, let it slip a tiny bit every so often, laugh, respect yourself and share your story, as you might find out that babes, you are not aone int here!
Ciao,
Finch aka Laura
