It's all about being better than you were the day before

Just think about it..doing just one simple thing which yesterday you did not want to do, or you did not feel like.  Something new and something different. It will make you a better person than you were the day before. For example, if today you went for a run and you ran 3 mins more than yesterday, that made you better and more competitive with yourself.  Another example might be something that made you mad yesterday, or you felt just lazy to do something or help someone, just try it today.  Such simple things in life will definitely make us live better everyday, learn new things and try new things..that way we will never be the same person as yesterday but will make us better every single day. Try it..I am :)






I LOVE this movie..it's so moving and powerful and so relaxing ..it's pure genius and amazing :')



Give me your abs nowwwwww :o

It's AMAZING what you can do when you TRY

HI everyone! 


Yesterday my sister and I managed to wake up at 6am to go for walk and believe me, I felt SO good during the day I couldn't believe it! It's so amazing to wake up before sunrise and leave the house in your comfortable sports wear and with a bottle of water:) It was so quiet and you see just a few people with the same interests and aims as you..jogging or walking. I just find it incredible how such a simple thing can make you feel so peaceful, strong and happy. I should thank God everyday for giving me the strength and everything I need to be able to do this :)


So, since I felt that great yesterday by going for a walk at sunrise for 1 hour 15 minutes, I just thought I should do this whenever I can so I managed to wake up early last morning but I went on my own since my sister had work.  I woke up at 5.45am washed my face, dressed up and ate just a banana and a glass of orange juice (because I always HAVE to eat something when I wake up, otherwise I would collapse haha)..I started by walking for 15minutes to increase my heart rate slowly and then I started to jog lightly and slowly and afterwards running.  I managed to be back home in 1hour and I felt GREAT again :) Now I'm going to do this tomorrow again obviously(!) and I will be going for a jog with my sister again in the evening, for sunset now haha for about another hour! I LOVE these days where I have no work currently and no university and studying..I just decide what I want to do during the day and that's mostly working out, eating healthy and cooking and experimenting for new healthy and amazingly good recipes :D  I just wish I could live my whole life just working out, cooking and eating health stuff and learning more and more about this and having a job that has to do with all this *sighhh!


This is what I made today. they taste amazinnngg and you wouldn't believe that that they are actually HEALTHY cookies 'cause they taste like any other delicious cookie ;) oh and they are very easy to make sooo you have no excuse to go in the kitchen and make some RIGHT NOW :D


This is what you'll need:


-  3/4cup oats (blended- kinda looks like flour)
-  1 cup wholemeal flour
-  1/2 tsp salt
-  1/3 cup brown granulated sugar
- another 1/3 cup OR LESS than 1/3 brown sugar 
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
-  1/4 cup coconut oil


Preheat oven to 180deg C and bake for about 15 mins (just keep checking on them )...when finished, drizzle some organic Acacia Honey on top and eaaaattt :D


This is how they should look like (you can make a different form but I just gave them the shape of cookies) :


They are actually quite filling so I took 1 (and half ha! - I couldnt resist) as a snack...

..and this is what I ate later on - Rice Salad with cucumber, mushrooms, carrots, olives, tuna, spring onion, ginger and extra virgin olive oil and some cayenne pepper..mmmmm :)



Now as soon as I finish this post i'll be doing a smoothie with fruit (still dont know exactly what I'll be using..probably apples, pineapple, kiwi and mango..NO banana though since I took one last morning ) and then in 2 hours time I'll go for a jog and run :)) 


That's all I guess for today ..I'll just post some pictures to help and motivate you and an amazing video at the end, take some great moves from there for a REAL workout ..make sure you check them out! Get moving :) Until next time, take care x x x
