Food Blogging

Hey all of you lovely readers!!

Missed me?! Not so much I suppose ;) as I'm not really here a lot!!
BUT.... I try to change this!!

With October 1st I'll try and hopp on the daily Food-Blogging Bandwagon again!!
As my goal for October is to be Crap-Free once again (indulged a little too much on sweets this past few weeks, but thankfully not gained anything...) to kick-start my (mini) weightloss!

So as of tomorrow I'm going to take a pic of every bite before it comes even near my mouth! :)
I think I'm ready again....

But bare with me and my not so interesting foods over the week, as I'm eating two of my main meals at work, it's much of the same! But I always try to make it colorful and pretty!! :)

You will see! I hope you'll enjoy the posts and most importantly, I hope I'll have fun with it!! YAY!!

Oh... And I'm soooooooooo excited for my mid-October London trip!!!! It's way to long since I was there!!!

Whole Foods I'm coming!!!!!

For the first time I'm going to go to a WF, as I didn't know it existed before (the last 100 times is was in London!) so of course I can't wait!!!

Have a lovely day/noon/evening/night everyone!!!

Company trip

Hey all you gorgeous ones!!

I'm back.... From an awesome company trip up to 2500 meter over the sea!!
It was beautiful but really tough! We had to 'climb' (hike) over 800 meter to get there!
But it was worth every second!!
We have such an awesome team, it's unbelievable!!

I don't have to tell you much, just wanted to let you know, I'm OK and at a content place at the moment. Hoping to loose the few pounds so I finally can fit into my fall/winter clothes again, but that won't be a big deal! I just habe to watch the sweet a little!

Hope you all have a good time, doing good (I'm proud of E and M for getting back to recovery!!) and just enjoy the time with what you have!! Always remember, you've got all you need, as long as you use it right!! ;)

I'll leave you all with a few breathtaking (and funny) pics (Sorry, had to crop out a few.. Don't know if they would want a pic of them in the net!?).

Eats and Exercise Week 36

Since I'm on a tight schedule with all the (ballet, jazz and yoga) classes I take, I usually don't put much thought into my meals. Easy, light and deliciouse is the key! I'll post here about it and update for the meals not-jet-consumed. :)

Even though I ate pretty well in Dublin, hence the kitchenette and my mom some great meals were put together! But nonetheless I'm glad to be back on my 'safe' weekly-mealplan (almost the same breakfast and lunch every day, it's just convenient for workdays) again! And I think I'm getting rid of my cravings!!
