water - day 126

Water is so important for your body! You have to drink 1.5 L a day. I drink lot's of water, accualy I only drink water, tea and sometimes coffee. So that means that I never drink any soda's, which contains a lot of sucar. I drink every day at least 2 L water.

Did you know that you can lose weight by just drinking water? When you drink between 2 and 4 L water a day you lose extra calories. You must not drink more than 4 L, that is actually not healthy anymore.

- When you drink water throughout the day, you get less thirsty. This ensures that your other drinks will get slower. This is beneficial when you want to lose weight, because, for example soda contains quite a lot of calories.
- When you are thirsty, your body may interpret this as hunger. By drinking enough water you get less thirsty and it is less likely that your body creates a feeling of hunger, while you are not even really hungry.
- The liquid in your body also makes sure that you constantly have a fuller sense than usual. This will make you have less desire to eat.
- Water makes that your body keeps burning body fat. Water helps convert food into energy, but also helps to keep your body fat to convert into energy. So you can lose body weight.

frozen grapes - day 123

I did read about frozen grapes on the internet a couple of times. But I never made them, so that's what I did. And guess what, they are so good! When the grapes are frozen they become a lot more sweeter. When you eat them they taste like litte icelolly pieces. I recommend you to wait 5 minutes after you take them out of the freezer and then eat them. And I would definitely take seedless grapes, otherwise you're chewing on seeds. And I liked the red grapes more than the white ones, they taste even more sweet.

shopshop - day 119

Thumbs up for me! I survived my non chocolate week. It went so well that I will make this week also my non chocolate week. I did some fruit and vegetables shopping, this is the result. It will keep me away from the chocolate monster hih.

 

 

What I also really like as snack are these vegetables in the box below. They are so tiny but perfect for a evening or afternoon snack. It contains little tomatoes, cucumbers and sweet peppers.

The better choice - Day 112

 

Now all the holidays are over I will take a non chocolate week. It basically means no chocolate for a whole week. So I start tomorrow. I found this cute picture of food that I can eat instead of chocolate. 'The better choice' basically. I definitely think that chocolate is so irresistible good tasting. But check the list beneath.
I love strawberries and blueberries! I will eat them a lot now it is becoming summer again. I also love almonds and peanuts, although you should not eat too much of them. They contains lot's of calories but also lots of good oils. I love yogurt, I eat it just pure as a snack. I'm not a big fan of sultanas and dates. I would love to try the frozen grapes, I actually think that it wil be like a ice lolly.
Are you also in for a non chocolate week after easter? Join me :)

Evening snack - Day 108

Popcorn! My favorite evening snack when I watch tv series. It's jummy but that is not all, it really healthy. Here are some facts:
- One serving of popcorn contains 70 percent of the daily recommended amount of grains.
- Researchers have discovered that there are more anti-oxidants called "polyfeolen" in popcorn than in fruit and vegetables.
- Popcorn is high in fiber.
- Popcorn is the only snack that hundred percent consists of unprocessed cereals.

Preparing popcorn with oil, salt or sugar and butter or 'fake butter' as in cinemas is changing the health benefits of popcorn in a nightmare full of fat and calories.

So I make the popcorn kind of myself. I buy little bags with corn and sugmicrowave and heat them. After 5 min. you have fresh popcorn. There is not to much sugar on it. So it is definetly a better snack than fat overloaded chips.

ar in it. I just have to put them in the


Here are some pictures of how I prepare my snack.

Sportive day! - Day 106

Today was a super sporty day! First I biked for 2 hours. And after dinner I went to the gym. When I came home I did a work out with my hula hoop. I feel so good after it all, I feel like my body is so alive. This are the calories that I truely burned today by exercising.



Biking: 120 minutes, 926 Cals.
Gym: 90 minutes, 1000 Cals.
Hula hoop: 15 minutes, 150 Cals.
-----------------------------------------
Total: 2076 Cals. by exercising

I kept thinking: if it was easy to lose weight, everybody would be skinny. So I kept training and didn't stop, especially at the gym. At least you will never regret the workouts that you did. Only the ones you didn't do. So does this also makes you excited to come in action? Today definetly made me excited to go running more often from now on. The summer vacation is coming up soon, I can't wait to be bikini-fit and have lazy beach days with my friends in Spain.
