WHAT I EAT

DINNER

A salad, almost always. This is a salad I ate on saturday. It was yummielicious. As you probably can see, it's made

out of normal green salad (head lettuce), cucumber, tomatoes, cottage cheese, green olives, cashews, dried 

cranberries and different seeds (same ones as in my breakfast). Other normally occuring ingredients in my salads

are eggs, salmon, tuna, shrimp, apples, tangerines, peas and sometimes even strawberries.

WHAT I EAT

"LUNCH"

Normally, I eat my lunch 4-5 hours after breakfast, if I've been on a powerwalk after breakfast, and after 

the powerwalk have been drinking a protein shake. And those times (that will say, normally) I eat an omelett 

or protein pancakes (one banana + 3 eggs) with veggies or fruit for lunch. But on some days, I eat a big 

bowl of melon (usually watermelon) + a proteinshake 2-3 hours after my breakfast. It varies. And why I eat

watermelon for lunch? I LOVE WATERMELON. I've tho recently also started to eat a lot of honeydew

melon, and pineapple. Yum! Do you guys eat any watermelon, honeydew melon or pineapple? :)

What a normal "before noon" could look like:

8:00 breakfast (yoghurt, nuts, berries)

11:00 proteinshake

12:00-12:30 lunch (omelett with veggies or banana pancakes with fruits)

OR 

8:00 breakfast

11:00 proteinshake + a big bowl of watermelon

...and then 3 hours from that a salad or cottage cheese (Kesella)

As I mentioned last week, I eat at least 5 small meals a day! :)

WHAT I EAT

A TYPICAL BREAKFAST

Fat-free, natural yoghurt with no additives + blueberries + almonds + dried cranberries + cashews +  pumpkin 

seeds + roasted sunflower seeds and raisins. With this I drink a LOT of water and a cup of coffee. 

A post on what I eat for lunch is coming up next wednesday! :)

JUST MY WAY OF LIVING

So... I asked you if you wanted me to start posting more about my lifestyle - how I work out, how I eat etc.. 

And, I decided to start doing that, since most of you voted "YES". Today, I'll start by letting you in on the basics...

- I powerwalk 30-60 minutes 5 times a week (at least, or I try to). 

I do this mostly in mornings, after breakfast. I would like to go on powerwalks before breakfast,  

BUT, I'm superweak in my body and tired before breakfast - so I really have to get something 

in my system before going out on my powerwalk... Where I powerwalk? Mostly on a 

runningtrack in the forest, since it's a soft ground to powerwalk on and pretty "hilly". 

I walk as fast as I can, and I try to focus on really getting the most out of my powerwalk 

(=tired ass and tired legs afterwards, and a sweat, ofc). 

- I go to the gym 2-4 times a week. 

At the gym I always warm up for 15-40 minutes (15-30 if I'm gonna work out my abs/back/upper body 

muscles, and 30-40 minutes if I'm gonna work out my legs/ass, since I have a knee-injury and very weak 

knees, and I really need to get them warm before I do anything... otherwise they'll hurt like hell...). I warm 

up on the crosstrainer, rowing machine and exercise bike. Sometimes I powerwalk 

to the gym - and then that's the warm-up. 

- I try to eat at least 5 small meals a day, 

with two protein-shakes in between. 

I don't eat gluten, sugar, meat nor carbs (not a lot of them anyway). I consider myself a 

semi-vegetarian, which means I don't eat "regular" meat, BUT, I allow myself to eat fish when 

I feel like it (I'm a big fan of sushi and the Swedish dish "Skagenröra" that contains shrimp). 

I've also become lactose-intolerant, but since Finland has a lot of great lactose-free products, 

I can eat almost any kind of milk-product anyway. I recently read that an active woman 

should eat 20-30 grams of protein 5 times a day - so I try to eat a lot of proteins (hey, 2 

protein-shakes a day = 2x 20g, + I eat lots of eggs, cottage cheese etc.). 

So, there's the basics... On wednesday I'm gonna do a post showing pics of what I usually eat during a day.
